Abstract

Plastic waste takes up to 450 years to decompose. These problems can be overcome by creating other alternatives, one of which is by using biodegradable plastic. Biodegradable plastics are plastics made from natural polymers that are easily degraded by microorganisms. This study aims to examine the effect of the amount of plasticizer on the length of the degradation process and the effect of using microwaves on the length of time for molding biodegradable plastic. This biodegradable plastic is made by combining durian seed starch, shrimp chitosan and plasticizers in the form of glycerol and polyglycerol with volume variations of 1 mL, 2 mL, 3 mL, 4 mL, and 5 mL. This polymerization was carried out using a microwave with a power of 100 watts for 60 minutes. The resulting biodegradable plastics were characterized using the FTIR test, the Mechanical Properties test, the Absorbency test, and the Biodegradation test to determine the quality of the biodegradable plastic. The results of this study indicate the greatest tensile strength value is 1.9768 MPa, the largest elongation value is 21.2772%, the smallest water absorption is 45.40% for 5 minutes, and the largest degraded mass is 0.908 grams for 7 days. Based on this research, it can be concluded that the use of polyglycerol can accelerate the plastic degradation process. In addition, the use of microwaves can speed up the molding time of biodegradable plastics.Keywords: Biodegradable plastic, Durian seed starch, Shrimp chitosan, Glycerol, Microwaves

Abstract

Abstract:       The purpose of this research is to find the optimization process of biodiesel production from rubber seed oil using natural zeolite modification. The method of this research are using 1) Modification of Natural Zeolite Using NH4NO3, 2) Characterization of catalyst using FTIR and XRD, 3) Esterification and transesterification of rubber seed oil at 30oC, 40oC, 50oC and 60oC for 2 hours in each step using H-Zeolite, and 4) Analyzation of liquid product using Gas Chromatography (GC). The result of this research shown that the best conversion of rubber seed oil into methyl ester fatty acid of about 76.43% with Methyl linoleate component reached 38.23% at 60oC. Moreover, the characterization of catalyst revealed that there is no a significant change in terms of mineral content and crystallinity between natural zeolite and its modification which are showed as mordenite with triclinic crystal system. In essence, H-zeolite can optimize the production biodiesel.Keywords:biodiesel; H-zeolite; natural zeolite modification; rubber seed oil

Abstract

This study aims to determine the adsorption ability of betel nut skin-activated carbon on Fe metal in industrial wastewater. Betel nut skin carbon is activated using H2SO4 and HNO3. To identify the quality of adsorption using betel nut skin adsorbents, carbon and activated carbon are characterized using XRD and BET analysis. To determine the concentration of Fe metal adsorbed in the adsorption process, it was analyzed using AAS by determining the optimum conditions for the adsorption of Fe metal from the adsorbent using mass and contact time variations. The XRD characterization results show that betel nut skin carbon activated with sulfuric acid has a higher degree of crystallinity (41.03%) than that activated with nitric acid (20.61%). Betel nut skin activated carbon has a larger pore size of 3.2110 nm than the pore size of betel nut skin carbon of 2.2644 nm. The optimum condition of activated carbon on the adsorption of Fe metal was obtained at a mass of 1 gram with an optimum contact time of 45 minutes. The adsorption capacity of betel nut skin-activated carbon obtained was 1.4174 mg/g and the adsorption efficiency of betel nut skin-activated carbon was 99.84%. The initial concentration of Fe metal obtained was 25.86 ppm, after adding activated carbon from betel nut skin is decreased the concentration of Fe metal obtained was 3.72 ppm. So, the ability of betel nut skin adsorbent to adsorb Fe metal in industrial wastewater was 22.14 ppm.Keywords: Activated carbon; Adsorption; Amorphous; Betel nut skin; Wastewater

Abstract

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is the largest liquid waste from crude palm oil production. This liquid waste still contains a lot of chemical components, solid deposits, and oil which is dangerous if released directly into the environment. The residual oil and grease components contained in POME can be further extracted and converted into fuel fractions. This study investigates the conversion of residual oil from POME into fuel fractions through hydrocracking. A ZrO2/Sarulla natural zeolite (SNZ) catalyst was used, characterized by a particle size of 1-1.5 µm, a surface area of 73.3 m2/g, a pore volume of 0.161 cc/g, and a pore diameter of 3.35 nm. The effect of catalyst mass was studied, with the total conversion increasing to a certain extent with increasing catalyst mass, however, an increase in coke formation decreased the product yield. The highest gasoline fraction selectivity was obtained with a catalyst mass of 0.09 wt% (~42%), while the kerosene fraction was most obtained with a catalyst mass of 0.15 wt% (~40%). The liquid product with a catalyst mass of 0.15 wt% had the highest HHV of 44.2 MJ/kg, a 12% increase from the HHV of POME oil residue (39.4 MJ/kg). The results demonstrate the potential of using residual oil from POME as a source for fuel production and the use of natural zeolite-based catalysts as hydrocracking catalysts.Keywords: Biofuel; Hydrocracking; Natural zeolite; Oil extracted; Palm oil mill effluent

Abstract

The lignocellulosic component contained in palm frond waste has potential as an alternative fuel by converting it into bio-oil through a pyrolysis process. However, bio-oil has poor quality when compared to conventional fuels. Therefore, the Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) process has been widely developed as a promising way to improve the poor physicochemical properties of bio-oil. In this study, a bimetallic CuO-ZnO catalyst loaded on mordenite zeolite was used as a catalyst for HDO bio-oil from palm fronds. Optimization efforts were made on several parameters that affect the reaction including temperature, catalyst mass, and reaction time. This study aims to improve the quality of bio-oil and determine the effect of variations in reaction parameters on the physicochemical properties of upgraded bio-oil. The optimum condition found was the HDO process with a catalyst mass of 3.5 wt% at 325 °C for 120 min. The physicochemical properties of bio-oil after the upgrading process were successfully improved from those of raw bio-oil. The result is a decrease in water content and total acid number, an increase in C and H content accompanied by a reduction in oxygen content with a degree of deoxygenation reaching 72.9%, and an increase in higher heating value (HHV).
