Abstract

The amount of used cooking oil is increasing along with human activities. Used cooking oil that is disposed directly into the environment will give a negative impact on health and the quality of the environment, therefore it is necessary to purify the used cooking oil so that the used cooking oil can be reused. In this study, used cooking oil that has been used with heating time of 3 hrs, 5 hrs, and 7 hrs was used. The used cooking oil was purified using activated carbon made from 100 mesh bagasse with variations in weight of 2.5 g, 5 g, and 7 g, soaking time of activated carbon in used cooking oil were 24 hrs, 48 ​​hrs, and 72 hrs. The analysis used is the analysis of water content, free fatty acid content, and the amount of saponification. The results showed that the water content and saponification rate decreased with the length of contact time and the weight of activated carbon. The lowest free fatty acid content was produced when using activated carbon 7.5 g and contact time for 24 hrs.

Abstract

Cinnamon is a spice product that is often found in Indonesia. Indonesia still exports it in the form of cinnamon rolls (quill) which have low economic value when compared to essential oils or oleoresin, consequently the welfare of farmers is still low. In this research, the production of cinnamon oleoresin was conducted by the Sokhlet Extraction method. The sample used was cinnamon powder with a size of 100 mesh with a weight of 20 gr, then the volume variation of the solvent (ethanol 96%) (80; 120; 160; 200; 240) ml and extraction times were 3; 3.5; 4; 4.5; and 5 hr at 80 °C. The extraction results are then distilled, to separate the solvent (ethanol) with oleoresin at a temperature of 80 °C. This study was conducted to determine the effect of solvent volume variation and extraction time on the production of cinnamon oleoresin, the percentage of yield, sinamaldehyde content and density. The results showed the highest pecentage was obtained at solvent volume (ethanol 96%) 200 ml, with 4.5 hr with a percentage of rendement 63,73%, levels of cinamaldehyde 74% and density of 1.0054 gr/l, these meets the quality standard of cinnamon bark oil (SNI 06-3734-2006).

Abstract

Eggshell is a part that protects egg components from various external threats, including chemical, physical, and biological factors. This study aimed to obtain an adsorbent from chicken eggshells using physical and chemical activation techniques. The quality of the eggshell-derived adsorbent was assessed and compared with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 1995, with a focus on parameters such as ash content, moisture content, and iodine absorption. The adsorbent obtained was applied to a solution of methyl orange, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was conducted before and after the adsorption process. Furthermore, the study stages include adsorbent preparation, activation, and adsorption. The adsorbent weight for this process was 17 grams, with time intervals of 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 minutes. The results showed that both physically activated as well as physical and chemical activated adsorbents met the SNI 1995 standard, based on the parameters of water content (1.73% and 2.86%), ash content (8.18% and 6.745), and iodine absorption (761.40 mg/g and 774.09 mg/g). FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of a hydrocarbon and an OH group in the structure before and after adsorption. The optimum methyl orange adsorption capacity was achieved at an adsorbent mass of 17 grams and a contact time of 60 minutes, resulting in removal efficiencies of 20.38% for physical activation and 24.11% for physical and chemical activation.
