Abstract

The competitive reactions of lignocellulose hydrolysis and monosaccharide degradation in the subcritical water (SCW) hydrolysis of coconut husk were investigated to optimize the reducing sugar yield. Optimization analysis was performed by response surface methodology (RSM) and kinetics studies. Parameters of process optimization were varied at 130-170 °C for 15-45 min. The reducing sugars were measured using the Dinitro salicylic acid method. The sugar yield increased when the temperature increased from 130 °C to 170 °C. The highest reduction sugar yield of 4.946 g/L was obtained at 183.6 °C for 4.8 min and 23.4 liquid/solid ratio (LSR). Kinetics studies were carried out at temperature variations of 150, 170, and 190 °C and pressures of 60, 80, and 100 bar for 5 to 60 min. The yield of reducing sugar decreased with increasing temperature. The kinetic model 2B is the best method to explain the competitive reaction kinetics of coconut husk hydrolysis. This research is an innovation to increase the reducing sugar to make the process more commercially viable. Copyright © 2022 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

In this study, the optimization of microwave-assisted alkaline (MAA) pretreatment is performed to attain the optimal operating parameters for the delignification of cocoa pod husk (CPH). The MAA performance was examined by heating the CPH solid with different particle sizes (60–120 mesh) and NaOH solution with a different sample to a solvent (SS) ratio (0.02–0.05 g/L), for short irradiation time (1–4 min). Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was utilized to optimize the percentage of lignocellulose composition changes. The results show that by enlarging particle size, the content of lignin and cellulose decreased while hemicellulose increased. By prolong irradiation time, the content of lignin and hemicellulose decreased while cellulose elevated. On the other hand, increasing the SS ratio was not significant for hemicellulose content changes. From FTIR and SEM characterization, the MAA drove the removal of lignin and hemicellulose of CPH and increased cellulose slightly. Supported by kinetic study which conducted in this work, it was exhibited that MAA pretreatment technology is an effective delignification method of CPH which can tackle the bottleneck of its commercial biofuel production.

Abstract

Reducing sugar can be produced from lignocellulosic raw materials. The content of polysaccharides such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and starch will be broken down into simpler carbohydrates. This study used a mixture of sugarcane bagasse and rice husks as lignocellulosic raw materials. The lignin content in the raw material must be removed through delignification or pretreatment so that enzymes can access cellulose and hemicellulose. This study used a physics-chemical pretreatment method, in which lignocellulosic material soak in 3% NaOH then heated with microwave and boiling water. The next process is enzymatic hydrolysis with variations of cellulase enzymes activity 0.434, 0.871, 2.61, and 3.49 FPU/g mixture of bagasse and rice husks. The cellulase enzyme used in this study was also derived from the fungus Trichoderma viride. Analysis of the sugar concentration resulting from hydrolysis used the DNS method with the 3.5-dinitrosalicylic acid reagent. The concentration of sugar from hydrolysis using a variety of enzymes with microwave heating pretreatment and boiling water pretreatment obtained the highest results which were the same at the addition of enzyme activity 3.49 FPU/g substrate at 24 hours, namely 4.077 g/L and 15.18 g/L. The optimum time for enzymatic hydrolysis is 12 hours and optimum enzyme activity is the addition of enzyme activity 2.61 FPU/g. The average concentration of sugar hydrolyzed by the addition of Trichoderma viride solution in pretreatment using microwave heating was 0.7611 g/L with a yield of 21.01 mg sugar/g substrate and with pretreatment in boiling water obtained 0.8679 g/L with a yield of 23.95 mg sugar/g substrate.

Abstract

The low cost and excellent catalytic properties of lipase for industrial processes are highly desirable. A promising new approach involves the support modification of lipase and spacer arm, which enables the enhancement of lipase properties. This study investigates the immobilization of crude lipase from Mucor miehei onto a Polyurethane Foam (PUF) surface using various coating techniques. The PUF matrix was obtained through isocyanate and polyol reactions. Subsequently, the PUF was coated by adsorbing lipase and adding edible support material. The immobilized lipase was then utilized in the hydrolysis of coconut oil to produce fatty acids. Furthermore, the immobilized enzyme was employed in the esterification of fatty acids to produce bio-flavors. The results demonstrate that the attachment reaction using support material, namely lecithin, gelatin, MgCl2, and Polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG), all of which are simple and edible, was able to enhance the stability and reusability of lipase. This immobilization technique increased triglyceride hydrolysis into FFA by 422%. The successful edible support modification of immobilized lipase from M. miehei on PUF, coupled with significantly enhanced enzyme stability and catalytic activity, offers a promising, environmentally friendly solution for diverse applications in the food industry.

Abstract

Previous reports showed that there has been a continuous increase in the annual production of onion in Indonesia, and it is inversely proportional to the market price. The price drop is often caused by the high water content, which makes it easy to rot. Preservation of onions through a tray dryer is a good preservation method because it is effective and does not require much energy. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of variations in time, material thickness, and air velocity on the drying rate of onions. The samples were sliced to a size of 2 - 5 mm, followed by drying for 60 min using a tray dryer with different air rates between 4 - 7 m/s, and the rate of the process was observed every 15 min. The results showed that the drying time reduced the humidity in the chamber. The highest rate of 0.525 g/min was obtained at the peak air rate of 7 m/s. ANOVA results revealed that variations in time, onion thickness, and flow rate have a significant effect on increasing the drying rate of onions. This indicates that the method can be an effective and efficient solution to optimize the drying of the commodity.

Abstract

One of the challenges in preparing MSG raw materials is the reduction in the quality of molasses due to changes in the sugar production process. This research aims to evaluate the impact of adding coagulants on improving the quality of molasses in the Industrial MSG preparation. The materials used consist of sugar cane molasses and Sodium polyacrylate with varying concentrations of 5-20 ppm. Analysis was carried out on the percentage of total solids (%TS) using the sludge reduction rate method, and by comparing the total solution volume with the sludge height. The results showed that the addition of coagulant had a significant effect on the rate of sludge formation. The optimum point was achieved by adding 20 ppm of coagulant, which was able to achieve sludge reduction stability within 0.5 hours. Optimal operational conditions occur at a temperature of 55℃, pH 2.5-2.6, and a sugar content of 37%. The important role of the coagulant solution volume was seen in accelerating the deposition process, which had a significant impact (P 0.1). Although this condition has the potential to accelerate improvements in the quality of molasses in the production process, it still requires an assessment of the economic impact on overall production profits. The addition of coagulants was identified as a solution to improve the quality of molasses which was decreasing.

Abstract

This study aims to optimize the coagulation process for treating wastewater produced from petroleum drilling. The research includes redesigning the flocculator to enhance the coagulation process. The initial quality of the wastewater, characterized by parameters such as turbidity and Total Suspended Solids (TSS), did not meet the environmental quality standards stipulated by the Indonesian government. Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC) coagulant and Polyacrylic Acid (PAA) flocculant were utilized at varying doses of 10–150 ppm and 0.25–25 ppm, respectively. The study identified the key challenges in the current coagulation and flocculation processes, including inefficiencies in pollutant removal and high operational costs. Optimal doses of 10 ppm for coagulants and 0.25 ppm for flocculants were determined, resulting in daily operational cost savings of IDR 15,865,030. The economic analysis was conducted to project the potential cost savings based on the optimized dosages, indicating a reduction in chemical costs and operational expenses. Moreover, the optimal injection distance for PAA flocculant was found to be approximately 3.5 meters from the static mixer. A new design for the flocculator was proposed, incorporating these findings to improve the overall treatment efficiency. The redesigned flocculator prototype features a 6-meter-long horizontal tube, 1.5 meters in diameter, with 15 partitions spaced 40 cm apart, and a water level difference between the inlet and outlet of around 0.67 cm. These findings suggest that coagulation redesign and optimization, along with clarifier engineering, can significantly reduce operational costs and enhance water quality for injection into the earth.
