Quicklime is a widely used industrial chemical and its characteristics may be affected by the limestone characteristics and calcination temperature. The present study investigated the quicklime characteristics obtained from limestone after calcination at different temperatures (800, 900, and 1000 ℃) from six geological-different mines in West Sumatera, Indonesia. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis was performed to characterize the elemental compositions in limestone and quicklime. The stoichiometric evaluation was examined to compare the obtained carbon dioxide (CO2) from experimental and theoretical results during calcination. Based on elemental composition from XRF analysis, all the investigated limestones are very pure limestones, with impurities of less than 1%. The level of calcium oxide (CaO) after calcination at 1000℃ increased to more than 90% for all investigated limestone. The obtained CaO and CO2 mass after calcination at 1000℃ for 5 h were more than 70 and 60 grams, respectively. However, the experimental results on CaO and CO2 mass were 5–12% less than theoretical mass, reflecting the partial decomposition of calcium carbonate during the calcination process.

The pulp of the cocoa fruit still has not economically viable yet. Its potency to be processed into fruit syrup is expected to increase its value added. Local sugar from palm and canes is still traditionally utilized to produce brown sugar. This study aimed to make fruit syrup by utilizing cocoa pulp and local sugar sources in West Sumatra with several variants (palm sugar, sugarcane, and market white sugar). The effects of sugar concentration on the quality of the syrup were also studied. Sensory evaluation by the hedonic method was performed and statistical analysis data were carried out using SPSS. Microbiological analysis and shelf-life testing also have been done. The results of this study showed that respondents preferred syrup with palm sugar to sugarcane because of its light brown color and distinctive sweetness. The microbiological test reported that the syrup could only be consumed for less than the 5th day in a sealed glass bottle if it was placed at room temperature. Meanwhile, the syrup placed in the refrigerator (5 0C) could keep until the 5th day

Indonesia has abundant natural clay resources, including kaolin. In the Bangka Belitung Province, the kaolin reserves are estimated at 376,687,532 tons with identified reserve reaching 5,990,630 tons. The primary mineral constituents of kaolin are alumina and silica, which are essential raw materials for zeolite synthesis. Additionally, kaolin is widely utilized as a binder in various industrial applications. The research aimed to evaluated the potential of kaolin as a source of alumina and silica, as well as its effectiveness as a binder. This study investigated the influenced of calcination temperature and the composition of reactants (metakaolin, NaOH, and water) on the the performance of zeolite A pellets. The general process for yielding zeolite A pellets involved three main stages: transforming kaolin to metakaolin; preparing zeolite A powder and forming the pellets by mixing the synthesized zeolite A powder with calcined kaolin (metakaolin). In this study, kaolin was calcined at two temperatures at 570°C and 670°C, to produce metakaolin. The variables adjusted in the production of zeolite. The molar ratios of H2O to Na2O used in zeolite synthesis were varied at 37, 40, and 43, while the molar ratio of SiO2 to Al2O3 was maintained at 2.4, based on the chemical composition of the kaolin. Additionally, the Na2O to SiO2 ratio was kept constant at 2.5. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that the synthesized material was zeolite A. The performance of the developed zeolite A pellets was found to be comparable to that of commercial catalysts. The optimal synthesis conditions were achieved with an H2O/Na2O ratio of 43 and kaolin calcined at 670°C. These results demonstrate that Bangka kaolin serves considerable potential for use both as a source of alumina and silica, and as a binder.

Coconut shells are a prevalent agricultural waste product in Indonesia. Currently, there is a trend toward developing heterogeneous catalysts for the esterification reaction of vegetable oils to produce biodiesel. These catalysts are made from biomass carbon. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of using carbon precursors derived from coconut shells to create a heterogeneous acid catalyst for the esterification of waste cooking oil (WCO). Another objective is to identify the optimal esterification reaction conditions catalyzed by the developed sulfonated carbon catalyst, which exhibits the highest performance in converting free fatty acids (FFA). The coconut shells were carbonized using conventional methods and functionalized with concentrated sulfuric acid through dry impregnation. This process was conducted under various sulfonation conditions. The varied preparation parameters included the carbon-acid ratio (1:7.1, 1:10, 1:12.8, and 1:15.7% w/v), contact time (1 to 4 days), and calcination temperature (270C, 340C, and 450C). The charcoal and catalyst developed in this research were characterized through composition analysis using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and crystal phase analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The best catalyst preparation conditions were determined to be a carbon-acid ratio of 1:15.7% (w/v), a contact time of 3 days, and a calcination temperature of 340C. The optimal esterification reaction conditions were achieved using a mole ratio of methanol to WCO of 12:1, with a catalyst amount of 1.6%, for a duration of 1 hour at a temperature of 60C. This reaction resulted in a conversion rate of 84.6%.

Boiler bottom ash is one of the by-products produced from the combustion of palm shells and fiber in the boiler furnace at high temperature. These were usually disposed of on the land around the palm mill, causing environmental problems. In this research, non-activated and activated bottom ash treated with phosphoric acid were used as an adsorbent for removing free fatty acids (FFA) from crude palm oil (CPO) recovery. This study had two parameters. The first parameter is an adsorbent activator concentration with the variation level of 0, 5, 10, and 15 %. The second parameter is contact time with four levels involved in this research. They were 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours. The bottom ash adsorbent with a 10% concentration of phosphoric acid and a 3-hour contact time had the highest efficiency and capacity in removing FFAs from CPO recovery. The lowering of water and impurity content in CPO recovery after the adsorption process was in the range of 0.05% to 0.22% and 0.01% to 0.04%, respectively. The isotherm model was evaluated using the Langmuir and the Freundlich. The Isotherm model was fitted to the Freundlich, and this indicated multilayer adsorption with R2 = 0.9869.

Precipitated calcium carbonate (CaCO3) has advantages such as small white and fine particle size, high homogeneity, and uniformity of particle shape so it is a product that is much sought after by various types of industry. PCC synthesis must be accompanied by the use of an efficient type of reactor for the reaction. PCC can be synthesized via a carbonation method that utilizes CO2 gas. This research aims to optimize all processes that occur in the PCC production circuit using a CSBR reactor in the form of a tank reactor to optimize the PCC synthesis process from the previous reactor and accommodate the number of tools to be economical. This research aims to optimize all processes that occur in the PCC production circuit using a CSBR reactor in the form of a tank reactor to optimize the PCC synthesis process from the previous reactor and accommodate the number of tools to be economical. Based on the research results, the PCC synthesis process is influenced by the type of solvent, temperature, CO2 gas flow rate, reaction time, and reactor type. The performance of the CSBR reactor was carried out using variations of R1, R2, R3, and R4 using the carbonation method, resulting in the highest purity and yield of 94.6% and 92.08%.
