Abstract

Urea is the main source of nitrogen for plants. Conventional urea fertilizer is made by reacting ammonia and carbon dioxide. Wastewater produced by urea fertilizer plants usually contains urea and ammonia in high concentrations. In each m3 of wastewater urea content can reach 650 - 4000 ppm and ammonia amounting to 100 - 1300 ppm. The disposal of wastewater that still contains urea and ammonia with high levels can cause eutrophication in waters which is very detrimental to aquatic organisms. The uptake of urea in the urea fertilizer plant wastewater is an interesting study because it can provide a double benefit of reducing the concentration of urea in wastewater so that it can meet environmental quality standards that are environmentally friendly and obtain cheap urea fertilizer for plants. This study aims to determine the adsorption capacity of urea with porous carbon if there is ammonia in the liquid. Porous carbon is made from pyrolysis of coconut shell which is oxidized with sulfuric acid. The oxidation process is carried out by heating porous carbon which is immersed in a 50% w/w sulfuric acid solution at 90oC for 2 hours. The adsorption process is carried out at room temperature with an initial concentration of urea between 500 - 8000 ppm in a solution of urea-ammonia as a simulated liquid. The results showed that the urea adsorption capacity increased significantly in urea-ammonia solution compared to urea solution with an increase of 41%. The capacity of urea adsorption in urea-ammonia solution is 27 - 444 mg urea / g carbon.

Abstract

Activated carbon is a universal adsorbent possessing extensive function in human life. Adsorbent has been used in waste effluent treatment to adsorb variety substances mainly in the form of liquid and gas pollutants, odor adsorbent, food preservative, nutrient carrier for plant, and as fuel cell. Adsorbent is become an interest for its highly adsorption capacity due to its abundant pores on its surface resulting wide surface area, its simple manufacturing, its easy finding raw materials-even from waste material, and its relatively low cost of manufacturing. The purpose of this study is to investigate adsorption capacity and urea uptake percentage of activated carbon made from pyrolyzed firewood. The results obtained in this research are activated carbon from pyrolyzed firewood has urea adsorption capacity 0,026 mg urea/g adsorbent at urea concentration of 500 mg/L as high as 479 mg urea/g adsorbent at urea concentration of 50000 mg/L and urea uptake percentage 8,8 % v/v. This result shows that activated carbon from pyrolyzed firewood has capability to adsorb urea molecules form aqueous solution and therefore pyrolyzed firewood can be an alternative of low cost adsorbent for treating wastewater containing urea.

Abstract

Fresh bread has high potential for creating food waste that increases every year, because of its relatively short shelf life of 3-4 days after leaving the baking process. One way to extend the shelf life of bread is by using charcoal. Nipah fronds contain lignin elements that are good for charcoal. This study aims to determine the characteristics of charcoal from nipah fronds, the effectiveness of charcoal's ability to extend the shelf life of fresh bread, the effect of burning time, particle size and adsorbent mass on the storage time of fresh bread, the effect of the ratio of nipah frond adsorbent to commercial silica gel on the storage time compared to quality requirements of fresh bread of SNI 01-3840-1995 2013. Charcoal characterization includes quality tests based on SNI No. 06-3730-1995 on technical charcoal, namely water content and iodine absorption parameters and also Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) test. Based on the results of the study, charcoal from nipah frond waste has characteristics of water content that have met the quality standards of SNI 06-3730-1995 and in iodine absorbency only samples with pyrolysis time of 4 hours that have met the quality standards of SNI 06-3730-1995. Giving variations in charcoal burning time, mass and particle size of adsorbent powder affects the shelf life and quality requirements of fresh bread. Adsorbent packaging using teabags and silica gel paper can extend the shelf life of fresh bread up to 27 hours compared to those without adsorbent.

Abstract

Rice husk is an organic material that has a high lignocellulosic content so it has the potential to be turned into activated carbon. One method of making activated carbon is activation with a phosphoric acid activator (H3PO4). The purpose of this research was to study the effect of varying concentrations of H3PO4 as an activator on the characteristics of rice husk-activated carbon. The characterization refers to SNI 06-3730-1995 regarding the technical quality requirements of activated charcoal. Activation of rice husk carbon was carried out by contacting the carbon with H3PO4 for 24 hours and shaking it. The H3PO4 consisted of 3 concentration variations, namely 4M, 6M, and 8M. From the research results, the water content was 3.936%; 4.037%; 4.070%, the absorption of iodine has met the character of activated charcoal according to SNI, namely 1217.204 mg/g; 1204.255 mg/g; 1184.832 mg/g while the ash content value does not meet the SNI standard, which is still above 10%. The highest adsorption capacity and adsorption efficiency could be activated with 8M H3PO4, namely 22.42 mg/g and 89.68%. IR spectra on activated carbon with three variations of H3PO4 concentration showed the presence of aromatic C-H, C=C, and C-O anhydride functional groups.

Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries are the recent main store of electrochemical energy that have been widely used for electronic equipment, electric vehicles, and also renewable energy storage such as wind and solar. Lithium-ion batteries have many electrochemical advantages but lithium availability in nature is reduced very quickly and its distribution is uneven throughout the world. Sodium is attractive as an alternative to lithium insertion for secondary batteries because of its abundant availability and oxidation reduction potential to standard hydrogen electrodes only 0.3 volts higher than lithium. This study aims to synthesize hard carbon from nipah shell biomass using thermal methods of low-temperature pyrolysis (lower than 200 oC) followed by high-temperature pyrolysis (higher than 1000 oC). Characterization is carried out by iodine number analysis to determine porosity and SEM-EDX to determine texture and morphology. The result of the analysis of carbon iodine number is 346.86 mg/g while SEM-EDX analysis showed that carbon has a structure similar to a combination of graphene and nano-tube carbon.
