Abstract

Cocoa is one of Indonesian-main plantation commodities. During the cocoa seed drying process, there are two types of waste that are cocoa pod and cocoa sweating. Since the organic compounds contained in cocoa sweating is high enough, it is possible to anaerobically treat this wastewater in order to recover either intermediate or end products. Preliminary study showed that the existence of H2 in the reactor would block acetic acid formation. Therefore, the aim of this current experiment was to decrease hydrogen partial pressure by flushing various nitrogen gas flow rate to shift the intermediate products during the cocoa sweating anaerobic treatment. The experiments were carried on a Circulating Bed Reactor (CBR) which contained organic compounds around 100,000 mg/l COD. Then, the reactor was flushed continuously with nitrogen gas as without flushing, 125 ml/min, 500 ml/min and 750 ml/min. The results show there was a possibility that the introduction of nitrogen gas into the reactor could shift the profile of the intermediate product formation. At lower nitrogen gas flow rate more ethanol was formed than acetate formation, although at higher nitrogen gas flow rate the formation of acetate was still low enough.

Abstract

Disinfection process was applied as the last step of the water treatment to kill pathogenic bacteria in  the  water. However,  according to  several studies, the  ozonation  disinfection  process could form undesired by-products.  One of the by-products  potentially  affecting human life is bromate  produced from bromide ionic-containing  water. This study was carried out to examine the effect of raw water  characteristics  and  pH  on  bromate  formation.  Also,  the  performance  of bromate formation for a period of exposure time was analyzed. Raw waters taken from four different areas around Bandung were exposed to ozone introduced to a reactor with a flow rate of 2 L/min. The pH of the raw waters varied from 4, 7 to 10.  The  results  show  that  there  was  no  evidence  of  an  initial  bromide  ion concentration,  whereas  a  change  in  pH  value  gives  a  significantly  different outcome. In  acidic condition  (pH of 4) the  bromate  formation tends to decrease, whereas  when  the  pH  value  increases  to  a  pH  of  10,  the  bromate  formation increases.  Therefore, for drinking water  with a  neutral pH,  when bromide ions are  detected  in  the  raw  water,  the  drinking  water  may  be  toxic  due  to  the presence of bromate.

In the process of tofu production, the significant usage of water results in tremendous amount of wastewater. Treatment of tofu wastewater has become an obstacle because of the high capital cost and limited resources. Biological treatment using microorganism, more specifically bacteria, is a potential alternative to be developed because the technology is relatively simple and has a low energy usage. An example of this kind of treatment is Anaerobic Baffled Reactor, which is a modification  of conventional  septic tank with the addition of baffles. In this experiment,  a laboratory- scale  Anaerobic  Baffled  Reactor  with  five  compartments  was  used.  The  degradation  of organic  matter  in each compartment was studied. Tofu wastewater used in this experiment was from a tofu industry in North Bandung Area with soluble COD 8.000 mg/L. Reactor was operated at HRT of 96 and 72 hours. Steady-state condition achieved was indicated  by the stabilized  soluble  Chemical  Oxygen  Demand.  The highest  Volatile  Fatty  Acid and ethanol production occur in the 48th  hours of reactor operation. Significant organic removal occur on HRT of 96 hours at 53,34%. The production of biogas as methane was 14,0-14,6% (v/v) at HRT 96 hours and 29,1-29,6% (v/v) at HRT 72 hours showing a dominant acidogenesis process compared to methanogenesis process.Key words: Anaerobic Baffled Reactor, biogas, Soluble Chemical Oxygen Demand, tofu wastewater, Volatile Fatty Acid

Abstract

Abstrak: Secara umum, air limbah industri pulp and paper mengandung produk ekstraktif, karbohidrat, dan lignin. Lignin dan senyawa chlorinated organic merupakan senyawa utama yang menjadi concern dalam potensi pencemaran lingkungan. Pengolahan biologi secara konvensional hanya dapat mengolah sebagian senyawa organik yang terkandung dalam air limbah karena beberapa senyawa dalam air limbah industri pulp and paper merupakan senyawa persisten. Advanced oxidation process (AOP) merupakan alternatif dalam mendegradasi senyawa resistan yang terdapat dalam limbah cair industry pulp and paper. Prinsip pada proses AOP adalah pembentukan hidroksil radikal (OH*) yang merupakan molekul dengan kemampuan oksidasi yang sangat kuat sehingga dapat mendegradasi senyawa organik kompleks menjadi CO2 dan H2O. Salah satu teknologi AOP adalah O3/H2O2 (peroxone). Penggunaan metode ini lebih efektif jika dibandingkan dengan penggunaan O3 atau H2O2 secara sendiri-sendiri Pada penelitian ini akan dilakukan proses AOP menggunakan O3/H2O2 untuk mendegradasi lignin. Variasi feeding rate ozon, H2O2, dan waktu dilakukan pada sampel limbah cair untuk mengetahui kondisi optimal. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa penambahan dosis H2O2 pada proses ozonasi dapat meningkatkan efisiensi proses. Namun pada konsentrasi H2O2 berlebih dapat menjadi scavenger sehingga menurunkan efisiensi proses. Kondisi optimum diperoleh pada feeding rate ozon 26,7 ppm/dtk dan dosis H2O2 selama 2 jam pada pH asli limbah (7-8). Penyisihan COD pada kondisi tersebut sebesar 28% dan penyisihan lignin sebesar 88%. Biodegradabilitas air limbah menunjukkan peningkatan. Rasio BOD/COD meningkat dari 0,11 menjadi 0,33. Kata kunci: Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP), ozon, hidrogen peroksida, lignin Abstract: In general, pulp and paper wastewater contain extractive products, carbohydrates and lignin. Lignin and chlorinated lignin are the main compounds that could be potentially pollute environment. Conventional biological treatments only treat organic compounds partially because some organic compounds in pulp and paper wastewater are persistent organic compounds. Advanced oxidation process (AOP) is an alternative to degrade resistant compounds that contained in wastewater from pulp and paper industry. The principle of AOP is formation of hydroxyl radicals (OH*) which is a molecule with a very strong oxidizing ability that can degrade complex organic compounds to CO2 and H2O. O3/H2O2 (peroxone) is one of AOP?s technologies. This method is more effective then uses O3 or H2O2 alone. This study conducted AOP process using O3/H2O2 for lignin removal. Variations of ozone feeding rate, H2O2, and reaction time conducted to determine the optimal condition. Results showed that the addition of H2O2 doses on ozonation process can improve the efficiency of the process. But the excedd concentration of H2O2 could be a scavenger thus reducing the efficiency of the process. The optimum condition obtained in the ozone feeding rate of 26.7 ppm/sec and 100 mg/l dose of H2O2 for 2 hours at the original pH of wastewater (7-8) with 28% COD removal and 88% lignin removal. Ozonation combined by H2O2 increased biodegradability of wastewater. BOD/COD ratio increased from 0.11 to 0.33. Keywords: Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP), ozone, hydrogen peroxide, lignin

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menangani limbah yang terjadi dari industri biodiesel. Air limbah yang dihasilkan dari industri biodiesel diperkirakan memiliki kandungan organik yang cukup tinggi. dengan demikian perlu dipertimbangkan untuk mengolahnya dengan proses anaerob, sehingga berpotensi untuk mendapatkan produk samping berupa biogas (gas metana). Namun demikian, proses aerob sebagai kelanjutan degradasi secara anaerob harus pula ditinjau, karena masih adanya kandungan organik yang tersisa setelah proses anaerob. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa efisiensi proses anaerob masih kecil yang ditunjukkan oleh hasil uji Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) yang hanya sekitar 30%, akan tetapi dari uji Anaerobic Toxicity Assay (ATA) tampak bahwa limbah cair tidak menghambat pertumbuhan mikroorganisme metanogen. Kinerja proses aerob juga belum menunjukkan hasil yang maksimal, karena efisiensi biodegradasi baru sekitar 75-80%. Hal ini karena proses aerob seharusnya ditujukan untuk mengolah lebih lanjut efluen proses anaerob.
