Abstract

In accordance with the mandate of the Regulation of the Indonesian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources for the use of cleaner coal through coal gasification projects, in the future the coal gasification industry will produce char as a by-product. This study aims to characterize coal gasification char using a prototype underground coal gasification (UCG) and the addition of coconut shell charcoal biomass as a raw material for making biobriquettes. By using coal as raw material from the Muara Tiga Besar Mine of PT Bukit Asam, five kinds of coal samples from different layers were obtained, which from the characterization results, both coal and char, did not have too significant deviations so that the research variables could be ignored. The results of the characterization of char from coal gasification results compared to the initial sample of coal showed an increase in calorific value, a decrease in sulfur content and a significant decrease in water content, so it can be concluded that char from coal gasification has good potential as a raw material for biobriquettes. By using char and coconut shell charcoal with the ratio of variations in the composition of char and coconut shell compositions is 100%:0%; 75%:25%; 50%:50%; 25%:75% and 0%:100% carried out the briquetting process. The results of the biobriquette characterization met the criteria of the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 01-6235-2000 and Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources regulation No. 047 of 2006

Abstract

Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) are oil palm waste that has the potential as a source of bioenergy because it contains lignocellulose (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) so that it can be converted into biofuel through thermal cracking, adsorption, and distillation processes. Thermal cracking is the decomposition of the chemical content of biomass by utilizing heat without a mixture of oxygen at a temperature of 200oC–600oC. This study aims to obtain the characteristics of the raw material of EFB in the form of proximate, ultimate, lignin, and biofuel produced. The research was conducted using a thermal cracking reactor designed to control the temperature at 300oC, 350oC, 400oC, and 450oC. The results showed that the raw material characteristics of EFB from proximate were 13.66% water content, 8.74% ash content, 58.66% volatile matter and 18.90% fixed carbon. This water content is relatively high. This is because the drying process on the material has not run perfectly. The ultimate result showed that the EFB had a C content of 54.45%, H content of 5.00%, and O content of 16.27%. The atomic ratio obtained from the ultimate analysis can indicate the amount of calorific value that can be used for certain fuels. The smaller the atomic ratio value contained, the more significant the calorific value contained in a particular fuel. Klason method was carried out to decrease the level of lignin through 4 stages; the lignin content without delignification was resulting into 24.87%, the addition of aquadest was resulting into18.71%, the addition of 5% HCl resulting into 15.34%, and 10% HCl resulting into 14.49%. Delignification of 10% HCl is the pretreatment process before the thermal cracking. The thermal cracking process forms steam; the steam is then condensed to obtain bio-oil. The formed bio-oil was kept to separate the oil from tar. In order to obtain good biofuel quality, adsorption is carried out with zeolite adsorbent, which has been activated with HCL. A comparison of the physical properties of bio-oil before and after adsorption shows a color difference from brownish black to the adsorbed bio-oil, which is distilled to separate the heavy and light fractions. The temperature of 450oC at thermal cracking is close to optimum; when the temperature is increased, the cracking process will be more straightforward and occur optimally. The biofuel produced in this study was tested for its characteristics such as, density (927-1086.68 Kg/m3), kinematic viscosity (1.17-1.43 mm2/s), and flash point (66.00-70, 23oC). The biofuel product produced is dominated by C5-C15 compounds (45.07%) according to the results of GC-MS analysis.

Abstract

Rubber seeds from the Musi Rawas region in South Sumatra have great potential for rubber seed plantations. However, their utilization has not been maximized and they are often treated as plantation waste. This research aims to obtain the characteristics of rubber seeds as raw materials for biofuel production, so that the rubber seeds from the South Sumatra region can be utilized by the community and not just considered as plantation waste. In the first treatment, the rubber seeds are crushed to obtain the seed coat and the kernel. The crushed rubber seed shells are finely ground and sieved, while the kernel is pressed to extract vegetable oil using a pressing tool. The test methods used to determine the characteristics of the rubber seed shells include proximate analysis and calorific value, while GC-MS analysis is employed for the rubber seed oil. The proximate analysis of the rubber seed shell (RSS) yielded the following results: moisture content of 15.97 wt%, volatile matter of 47.43 wt%, fixed carbon of 32.45 wt%, and ash content of 4.15 wt%. The calorific value of the rubber seed shell was found to be 3312.8694 calories per gram. For the GC-MS yield of the rubber seed oil, the composition is as follows: palmitic acid 7.32%, linoleic acid 34.69%, oleic acid 45.35%, and pentadecanoic acid 8.86%. Based on the obtained results, rubber seeds show promising potential as raw materials for biofuel production through the pyrolysis process.

Abstract

Sugar cane is a plant that is processed into crystal sugar because it contains high sugar content. Sugar production produces waste, one of which is molasses waste. This study aims to obtain molasses into a catalyst using the carbonization method and the sulfonation method. The sulfonation method uses variations in the concentration of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 N H2SO4 solution and variations in sulfonation time of 2, 4, and 6 hours to get the best molasses catalyst. Catalyst characterization includes surface acidity by acid-base titration, FT-IR, and SEM-EDX. This research also aims to produce biodiesel yield using the best molasses catalyst. The results of surface acidity analysis showed that the best molasses catalyst was obtained at 10 N H2SO4 concentration with 6 hours at 0.907 mmol/gr. FT-IR test results showed the presence of O=S=O functional groups at wave numbers 1149.74 cm-1 and 1038.57 cm-1. SEM and EDX analysis results showed that the molasses catalyst after sulfonation had smaller pores and more sulfur groups on the carbon sheet. The yield of biodiesel produced using a molasses catalyst was 84.51%.

Abstract

Pengeringan adalah proses pengurangan kadar air suatu bahan dengan cara menguapkan sebagian besar air menggunakan energi panas. Pulp dalam penelitian ini adalah terbuat dari campuran Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit (TKKS) dan pelepah pisang. Dalam proses pengeringan terjadi proses perpindahan panas yang terbagi menjadi konduksi (hantaran) dan konveksi. Peristiwa perpindahan panas secara radiasi akan lebih efektif apabila terjadi pada ruang hampa, berbeda dengan perpindahan panas konduksi dan konveksi yang mengharuskan adanya media perpindahan panas. Sehingga, perpindahan panas secara radiasi dapat diabaikan. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan proses pengeringan pulp menggunakan pengering tipe tray dryer. Tray dryer atau pengering tipe rak merupakan pengering berbentuk persegi dengan rak di dalamnya, yang digunakan sebagai tempat bahan yang akan dikeringkan. Berdasarkan hasil proses pengeringan tersebut, diperoleh nilai rata-rata laju perpindahan panas konduksi dan laju perpindahan panas konveksi, dimana untuk laju perpindahan panas konduksi sebesar 0,127 kJ; 0,095 kJ; 0,070 kJ ; 0,064 kJ ; 0,051 kJ. Untuk laju perpindahan panas konveksi sebesar 0,042 kJ; 0,035 kJ; 0,023 kJ; 0,014 kJ; 0,009 kJ. Sedangkan untuk kandungan kadar air pulp yang mendekati Standar Balai Besar Pulp, 1989 (SNI-7274:2008) adalah 7,5% pada temperatir pengeringan 70? dengan waktu pengeringan 150 menit.

Abstract

Improved absorption of rubber backbone on filler surfaces is necessary to enhance the physical properties of rubber vulcanizate. One of the ways to repair the surface of the filler is through modifying using surfactant. Hence, this study aims to compare the physical properties of natural rubber vulcanizates using clay filler and modified clay with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The processes that were followed to achieve the objectives of this research were the design of rubber formulas, mastication and milling of rubber, and testing of the physical properties of rubber vulcanization. The clay characterization and its modification using FTIR and XRD were also carried out. Characterization using FTIR and XRD showed that there was indeed a clay modification with CTAB. Natural rubber compounds were also analyzed using SEM. The torque on the rheometer for modified clay with CTAB is 12.34 kg-cm higher than for original clay, which is 7.05 kg-cm. Elongation at break and tensile strength for vulcanizate using CTAB-modified clay filler is lower than that using original clay, with 300% modulus and hardness increase. Thus, clay modification using CTAB as a filler has a good effect on the curing characteristics and physical properties of natural rubber vulcanization compared to only using local clay as a filler.
