Abstract

Recycling of wastepaper is a solution for paper industry to overcome the scarcity and the limited presence of the virgin pulp sources. Thermal paper is a highly engineered product coated with a thermal sensitive layer that reacts in the presence of heat to create the printed image. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of pulp consistency and dispersant concentration on the removal of ink in the thermal paper. There are 3 steps in this research which are immersing, pulping and flotation. The results of this research were measured according to TAPPI and SNI to determine the brightness and tensile strength of the recycled paper, respectively. The excellent conditions were obtained at pulp consistency of 0.8%, dispersant concentration of 1.5%, flotation temperature of 50 °C and flotation time of 40 minutes. In these conditions, the brightness was 72,17% and tensile strength was 3.7 kN/m.

Abstract

Gas holdup and gas-liquid mass transfer were investigated in a vertical baffled column. Pure carbon dioxide (C02) was used as the dispersed phase and tap water was used as the continuous phase. Gas holdup and mass transfer rate of C02 were measured under semi-batch condition, while the liquid phase was measured in batch mode. Gas holdup was estimated as the volume fraction of the gas in the two-phase mixture in the column. Mass transfer was expressed in terms of the liquid-side volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa). The effects of oscillation frequency, oscillation amplitude and gas flow rate on gas holdup andmass transfer were also determined. The results showed that a significant increase in gas holdup and mass transfer could be achieved in an oscillatory baffled column compared to a bubble column. Gas holdup and mass transfer were correlated as a function of power density and superficial gas velocity. Keywords: gas holdup, mass transfer coefficient, power density, superficial gas velocity

Abstract

This paper reports the results of an investigation on the use of oscillatory baffled column as a mixer for pulp bleaching. Unbleached hardwood kraft pulp was bleached using hydrogen peroxide. Variables studied were oscillation frequency, oscillation amplitude, and pulp consistency. The mixing process was achieved by oscillating pulp suspension in a periodically baffled column at a certain frequency and amplitude. The mixing quality of pulp bleaching was quantified using mixing index. The results showed that mixing quality improved with oscillation frequency and amplitude, but decreased with pulp consistency. This typical device is very promising as a mixer for pulp bleaching.

Abstract

Gas-liquid mass transfer in continuous oscillatory flow was conducted in a vertical baffled column. Pure carbon dioxide (C02) was used as the dispersed phase and tap water was used as the continuous phase. The mass transfer rate of C02 measured under continuous operation was expressed in terms of the liquid-side volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) and was calculated using a stationary method. The effects of oscillation frequency, oscillation amplitude, and flow rates on mass transfer were also determined. The results showed that a significant increase in mass transfer could be achieved in oscillatory flow in a baffled column comp.:lfed to that in a bubble column. The mass transfer in continuous oscillatory flow in a baffled column was not affected by the liquid flow rate in the range tested. Then, kLQwas correlated as a function of power density and superficial gas velocity.

Abstract

The skin serves as a protective barrier against dust and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Excessive UV exposure is associated with accelerated skin aging, erythema, hyperpigmentation, and carcinogenesis. This study aimed to quantify flavonoid concentrations and characterize phytochemical constituents in shallot skin extracts for their potential as active ingredients in sunscreen formulations. Shallot skin was subjected to microwave assisted extraction using 70% ethanol as the solvent. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids in the extract. Flavonoid content was determined via UV-Vis spectrophotometry, yielding 36.33 mgQE/g. The high flavonoid concentration observed in shallot skin extract suggests its potential efficacy as an active ingredient in sunscreen formulations.

Abstract

In contemporary times, using food coloring agents is necessary to capture attention. The extensive use of synthetic food coloring agents has raised significant health concerns. Red spinach, a plentiful vegetable in Indonesia, contains anthocyanins that give it a reddish-purple color. The presence of anthocyanins makes red spinach a promising natural coloring agent. This research aims to identify the optimal operational conditions for extracting anthocyanins from red spinach, with the ultimate goal of applying these findings in developing innovative food products. The fixed variables included 20 grams of dried red spinach, a 10-minute extraction duration, and distilled water as the solvent. The independent variables were microwave power levels (100, 300, 500 W) and the material-to-solvent (M/S) ratio (1:10, 1:15 g/mL). The results revealed a moisture content of 7.6% in red spinach. The highest yield was achieved at 100 W with an M/S ratio of 1:15 g/mL, yielding 80%. The best anthocyanin extract was determined based on the highest anthocyanin content, which was obtained at 300 W with an M/S ratio of 1:15 g/mL, resulting in 56.93 mg/L. Anthocyanins were stable at low temperatures (4°C) but highly unstable at high temperatures. Sensory testing to determine consumer acceptability showed no significant taste difference between beverages with added anthocyanin extract and those without. The resulting taste was mild, and the extract's color was appealing. Therefore, the anthocyanin extract from red spinach can be used as a natural coloring agent, replacing hazardous synthetic food colorants.

Abstract

Unsold vegetable waste from agricultural produce often rots and ends up being discarded at landfills, increasing waste volume and potentially causing environmental problems. To address this issue, vegetable waste can be processed into useful and marketable products such as bioethanol. Bioethanol is a renewable energy source obtained through the fermentation of biomass, including vegetable waste such as potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, mustard greens, and cabbage. In this community service program, an e-Bio production unit with a processing capacity of 5 liters has been designed, utilizing vegetable waste as raw material. The unit consists of pre-treatment equipment, a fermenter, and a distillation unit. The pre-treatment equipment includes an initial cooking tank, a crusher, and a pressurized tank. The fermenter tank is equipped with two manual paddle-type agitators with a diameter of 30 cm. Meanwhile, the distillation tank is made of stainless steel and equipped with a heater to heat the fermented solution and a cooling water tank to cool the evaporated e-Bio. The unit achieves a distillation efficiency of 95% with a production rate of 0.475 L/hour, producing 0.95 liters of ethanol after two hours of operation. The goal of this program is to implement the e-Bio production unit by utilizing vegetable waste as raw material, increase community or farmer income through e-Bio sales, and reduce the environmental impact caused by vegetable waste disposal.

Abstract

Edible coating is a thin layer that can be consumed which protects the surface of the fruit from environmental influences. This study evaluates the effectiveness of shrimp shell chitosan-based edible coating with tamarind leaf extract as an antimicrobial, along with glycerol and tween 80, in preserving mango quality during 15 days of storage. The variables evaluated were the concentration of tamarind leaf extract (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5%) and mango storage duration (0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 days). While the amount of chitosan used was constant. The parameters measured included total microbial count, weight loss, fruit skin color, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, and vitamin C content. The results showed that the combination of shrimp shell chitosan and tamarind leaf extract as an antimicrobial significantly reduced the degradation of mango quality, with the 0.5% concentration of tamarind leaf extract being the most effective in maintaining quality and extending shelf life of mango until 15 days.

Abstract

The bio-oil from bagasse has poor physical characteristics, so it requires a combination with other materials, such as durian peel. This study aims to produce high-quality bio-oil from the best composition ratio of bagasse and durian peel. The study used variations of sugarcane bagasse and durian peel compositions (0:1; 1:0; 1:1; 2:1; 3:1) at a pyrolysis temperature of 400 °C for 5, 6, and 7 hours using an 83.1 L upright cylindrical reactor. The bio-oil with the best characteristics was found at a 1:1 ratio, with yields of 32.28%, 38.82%, and 40.8%, pH values of 2.7; 2.8; 2.9, and viscosities of 0.952 cSt, 0.928 cSt, and 0.908 cSt. The results show that adding durian peel improves the bio-oil characteristics.

Abstract

Heavy metal contamination such as iron (Fe) in wastewater is a significant environmental issue due to its negative impact on ecosystems and human health. This study aims to synthesize adsorbents from kapok seeds (Ceiba pentandra) by examining the effect of activator type (KOH and NaCl) and particle size (100 and 120 mesh) on the adsorption capacity of Fe(II) ions. The research methodology includes carbonation and chemical activation processes, followed by adsorption kinetics testing. The results showed that the use of NaCl activator with a particle size of 120 mesh provided the best performance with an equilibrium adsorption capacity of 89.75% and an iodine number of 127 mg/g. Kinetic analysis showed that the Fe(II) ion adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model with an R2 value of 0.999, indicating that the main adsorption mechanism was chemisorption through a two-step interaction involving diffusion and intermolecular interactions in the adsorbent area.
