Abstract

Acidic and alkaline water with potential health benefits can be produced through the process of electrolysis. In addition to the applied voltage, electric current is a crucial parameter in the electrolysis process. The energy consumed during electrolysis can be determined by measuring the voltage, electric current, and duration of operation. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of electric current during the electrolysis of mineral water to produce Electrolyzed Reduced Water (ERW) and Electrolyzed Oxidized Water (EOW), commonly referred to as alkaline and acidic water, respectively. The electrolysis current is monitored at specific time intervals (0, t₁, and t₂) throughout the process. In the initial stage (from 0 to t₁), the current increases exponentially, similar to the charging current behaviour of an inductor (L). In the second stage (from t₁ to t₂), the current decreases exponentially, resembling the discharge of a capacitor (C). In the final stage (after t₂), the current stabilizes and remains nearly constant, analogous to current flow through a resistor (R). A novel aspect of this study is the introduction of an equivalent RLC transient circuit model to describe the dynamic behaviour of electrolysis current. In this model, the electrolysis process is represented by a series RLC circuit with a switch operating sequentially at 0 (inductor charging), t₁ (capacitor discharging), and t₂ (resistive steady state). To the best of our knowledge, this RLC-based interpretation of electrolysis current behaviour in the context of ERW and EOW production has not been previously reported.

Abstract

Waste cooking oil is waste produced from palm oil after it has been heated and fried at high temperatures, and it can pollute the environment. One effort to reuse waste cooking oil is a fermentation processe that produces free fatty acids with the help of Rhizopus oryzae as a biocatalyst. Variations in initial substrate concentration ranged from 10 g/L to 70 g/L, followed by varied types of nitrogen sources, namely malt extract, beef extract, (NH2)2CO, NH4Cl, and (NH4)2SO4 at a concentration of 70 g/L to determine free fatty acid concentration. Fermentation was carried out for 7 days. The analysis carried out included the concentration of free fatty acids, biomass, and YP/X value. The optimum initial used cooking oil substrate was obtained at a concentration of 30 g/L with a YP/X value of 13.63%, a free fatty acid concentration of 2.13 g/L and a dry cell weight of 15.48 g/L. The best nitrogen source is beef extract with a Yp/x value of 11.78%, a free fatty acid concentration of 2.02 g/L and a dry cell weight of 17.0 g/L

Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of adding Melinjo shells on the quality and efficiency of charcoal-based bio-briquettes. A combination of coconut shells and Melinjo shells in various ratios was utilized in the study. The briquettes were produced through a carbonization process at a temperature of 300°C for 60 minutes, with tapioca flour used as a binder. Subsequently, the briquettes underwent testing to determine moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, and calorific value. The research findings indicated that all briquettes met the calorific value requirements set by the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), exceeding 5,000 cal/g. The addition of Melinjo shells resulted in a reduction in ash and volatile matter content but also led to a decrease in calorific value. Based on the analysis, the optimal composition obtained was 90 grams of coconut shells and 10 grams of Melinjo shells, producing briquettes with a calorific value of 5,582 cal/g, ash content of 3.76%, and volatile matter content of 6.65%. Therefore, further research is recommended to identify easily combustible components in Melinjo shells to ensure their potential in reducing the amount of ash produced when the briquettes are burned.

Abstract

Biomass-based briquettes offer a renewable energy alternative that can help reduce CO₂ emissions. Coconut shells and coffee grounds are promising waste materials due to their high calorific value. This study aimed to optimize the composition and carbonization time in producing briquettes from these two materials. The briquettes were prepared following SNI 01-6235-2000 and export briquette standards. The process included drying, carbonization at 300 °C for 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 minutes, sieving, mixing, molding, and drying. Coconut shells and coffee grounds were mixed at weight ratios of 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, and 5:5 with a total of 46.5 grams and 8.5 grams of adhesive. Briquette quality was evaluated based on moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, density, calorific value, and fixed carbon. The 9:1 composition yielded the highest calorific value of 6,472 cal/g, while a carbonization time of 90 minutes produced the best calorific value of 6,504 cal/g. The results show that a high proportion of coconut shells with limited coffee grounds and optimal carbonization time can produce briquettes with high energy potential, suitable for use as an alternative fuel.
