Abstract

The damaging process known as microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) can be triggered by the bioactivities of microorganisms. The occurrence of this phenomenon can be attributed to the presence of biodiesel in carbon steel diesel mixture storage tanks, since the biodegradability of the fuel promotes microbial development and the MIC process. In this work, the effects of different biodiesel concentrations (B0, B15, B20, B30, and B100) on biocorrosion in ST-37 carbon steel caused by three species were investigated. Some of the species confirmed to be involved are S. marcescens, B. megaterium and B. lichenisformis. These three species are undoubtedly able to survive in a biodiesel-based media. In addition to producing EPS, a species that may slow the rate at which carbon steel corrodes, biodiesel can be utilised as a supply of nutrients. Nonetheless, the diverse life cycles of microbes have the potential to accelerate corrosion of carbon steel. The average corrosion rate with the effect of B. lichenisformis is lower than the other two species, notably in the B100, with fewer colonies than S. marcescens and B. megaterium.Some of the species confirmed to be involved are S. marcescens, B. megaterium and B. lichenisformis.

Abstract

Bioethanol implementation as a renewable fuel has yielded economic, social, and environmental benefits, including reduced fossil fuel consumption, enhanced energy diversity and supply security, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and support for agricultural communities. These impacts underscore the importance of advancing innovation and optimizing processes to increase bioethanol production. Therefore, basic knowledge of chemical engineering in bioethanol fermentation is important to be learnt as a preliminary study, such as reaction kinetics and transport phenomena. This work studies the reaction kinetics and mass transfer in continuous fixed bed biofilm plug flow reactor modelling to predict anaerobic Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation performance, which is still not studied comprehensively. This modelling provides an overview of the influence of various independent variables, namely temperature, initial substrate concentration, cell concentration, superficial flow rate, reactor diameter, and solid particle diameter on various dependent variables, namely final product concentration, residence time, reactor length, reactor volume, product productivity, and pressure drop. The most sensitive parameters related to product productivity are temperature and cell concentration, so in its implementation, the temperature must be controlled at its optimum temperature, and the inoculum must be prepared with high cell concentration. For the next study, it is recommended to study the optimization of reactor design and operation (i.e. the pumping system, cooling system, and pH control of the reactor) and the implementation of the reactor on the plant scale.

Abstract

The increasing accumulation of CO2, the primary greenhouse gas (GHG), in the Earth's atmosphere has caused significant environmental problems and adverse climate change. Photoreduction offers promising method to convert CO2 into high value chemical compounds, such as formic acid, which can serve as a hydrogen carrier. The process of photoreduction efficiency can be enhanced by using photocatalyst capable of operating across two distinct photosystems each having a different spectrum based on the sensitivity of light. This study aims to investigate the impact of the photocatalyst preparation conditions on the activity of the resulting photocatalyst and identify which is the most effective one on the formic acid production. Photocatalysts based on Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) composed of zinc and chromium was synthesized, resulting in Zn-Cr LDH, which was subsequently enhanced by incorporating Cu and Cu₂O. The operating temperature varied at 60 ℃ and 100 ℃. The highest yield of formic acid of 21,62 μmol.gcat-1.hr-1 was obtained at a reaction temperature of 100 ℃ using 0.3Cu@Zn-Cr LDH. This photocatalyst shows increased activity when the reaction temperature is increased to 60 ℃ and 100 ℃. In contrast, 0.3Cu2O@Zn-CrLDH showed a decreased activity at the elevated temperatures. This discrepancy attributed to the self-oxidation mechanism of Cu and Cu2O; while the oxidation of 0.3Cu@Zn-CrLDH results in Cu2O which retains photocatalytic activity, the oxidation of 0.3Cu2O@Zn-CrLDH leads to inactive CuO. This study provides valuable insight into the material design and demonstrates the potential of Cu-modified Zn-Cr LDH for sustainable CO2 reduction applications.

Abstract

Seaweeds are large-scale multicellular marine algae categorized based on color as Chlorophyceae, Rhodophyceae, and Phaeophyceae. No information has been provided on the conditions affecting the production of mesoporous activated carbon from one member of the described aquatic plants, namely Sargassum sp. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the impact of the main factors and their interactions on Sargassum sp.-derived activated carbon manufactured (SAC) by hydrothermal carbonization and CO2 activation methods. A mathematical approach was employed using a multilevel factorial design with the main factors being the activator type (ZnCl2, CaCl2, & KOH), hydrothermal temperature (200, 225, & 250oC), and activator ratios (2 & 4). Meanwhile, the response variables were yield and BET surface area (SBET) of SAC. Morphological, functional, crystallographic, and porosity characterization was carried out on the samples. The SAC-Ca-200-2 sample had the highest yield, with the value being 26.5 percent of weight. The activators having the highest specific surface area (SBET) were SAC-Zn-250-4, SAC-Ca-225-2, and SAC-K-250-2, with 1552, 1368, and 1799 m2/g, respectively. The pore size distribution in SAC products ranged from 2.16 to 10 nm in diameter. The analysis conducted indicated the activator type and interaction with its ratio substantially impacted the SAC yield value; besides, only the activator type affects the formation of high surface area pores.

Abstract

This work investigates synthesizing activated carbon obtained from rubber seed shells utilizing several activating agents (KOH, CaCl2, and ZnCl2) for supercapacitor applications. Activated carbon was produced from a rubber seed shell using hydrothermal carbonization at 275 °C for 60 minutes and a 120-minute activation treatment at 800 °C. Various activating agents pronounced impacted the pore architecture, surface area, crystallinity, and level of graphitization, which collectively determined the electrochemical characteristics of the resulting materials. Incorporating activation agents enhances the specific surface area and influences the extent of graphitization of activated carbon. The specific surface area of activated carbon products ranges from 367 to 735.2 m² g⁻¹. Further investigation through electrochemical analysis, conducted with a carefully engineered two-electrode system, demonstrated a peak electrode capacitance value of 246 F g-1 at 50 mA g-1 for an ACZn-based supercapacitor. Supercapacitor cells’ energy and power densities reached significant levels, measuring 5.47 Wh kg-1 and 246 W kg-1, respectively. The RSS-derived activated carbon-based supercapacitor exhibited remarkable longevity in a 5000-cycle test, with consistent capacitance retention and coulombic efficiency of 100.11% and 100%, respectively. This work presents a sustainable pathway for producing activated carbon electrodes, contributing to the global circular economy and demonstrating considerable industrial potential.

Abstract

This study investigates tin (Sn) based electrodes supported by graphite for the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (ECO2R) to formic acid, comparing precipitation and impregnation synthesis methods. Electrodes were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Chronoamperometry, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The precipitation method yielded higher Sn content (91.22%) and superior thermal stability (3% mass loss at 1000°C vs. 45% for impregnation). Morphological analysis through SEM revealed precipitation-synthesized electrodes exhibited more uniform Sn particle distribution across the graphite surface, while impregnation resulted in larger Sn agglomerates with less homogeneous coverage, significantly influencing electroactive surface area and catalytic performance. The electrochemical performance of electrodes was tested using H-cell. CV showed decreased cathodic current for Sn/C electrodes compared to pure graphite in CO2-saturated electrolyte, while chronoamperometry indicated slightly better sustained performance for precipitation-synthesized electrodes with stabilized current densities after 3 hours of operation. EIS analysis suggested the precipitation method yields a marginally lower ohmic resistance (28.8 Ω vs. 29.8 Ω), resulting in a more favorable electrode structure for overall catalytic activity. Both methods showed lower ohmic resistance than that of pure graphite (38.1 Ω), the precipitation-synthesized Sn/C electrode emerged as the preferred selection for ECO2R to formic acid, balancing high Sn content, thermal stability, superior durability, and better Faradaic efficiency. The observed performance differences were attributed to distinct metal-support interactions formed during synthesis, with precipitation creating stronger metal-carbon bonds that enhance stability but potentially limit certain active sites necessary for optimal CO2 reduction kinetics. This comprehensive characterization revealed that the precipitation-synthesized electrode offers the most promising foundation for further development, potentially through process optimization, hybrid synthesis approaches, or targeted doping strategies to enhance catalytic activity while maintaining the advantageous stability characteristics.

Abstract

Demand of natural gas is predicted to increase since many valuable products can be produced. Water and heavy hydrocarbon content are the key for gas pipeline facility. To meet requirement of natural gas transportation, dehydration unit (DHU) and hydrocarbon dew point control unit (DPCU) are necessary to avoid water and hydrocarbon condensation during transmission. The conventional dehydration technology, TEG contactor, can lower water content from 1,304 mg/m3 to 80.35 mg/m3 where the maximum limit of water content in natural gas is 97 mg/m3 to prevent hydrate formation. DPCU is installed to remove heavy hydrocarbon, especially C5+. Integration of JT valve and turboexpander was employed to obtain the low gas dew point. The hot gas stream that entered the JT valve was observed. The lower hot bypass gas was applied, the lower hydrocarbon dew point and the more condensate flowrate was achieved. The highest power generation can be gained at low hot gas flow ratio which also influenced the exit pressure and temperature of compressor. In pipeline simulation, the pressure and temperature drop occurred at the high hot gas rate. To examine the arrival condition, dew point curves were generated and showed that the limitation of hot gas flow ratio has to be below 0.6 to prevent heavy hydrocarbon condensation in pipeline.

Abstract

Indonesia is among the world’s largest palm oil market countries leading to significant growth in the domestic palm oil industry. However, the increase in palm oil trading has also led to a rise in the production of waste known as Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). Currently, the majority of factories use open ponds for POME processing, but this method is considered ineffective for treating POME. To address this issue, researchers are exploring photocatalytic technology, which utilizes light energy (UV, visible, sunlight) to produce radical compounds that act as oxidizing agents for POME degradation. In this study, ZnO was employed as a catalyst. The XRD and UV-vis DRS characterizations confirmed that ZnO had a hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure with a band gap energy of 3,22 eV. The photocatalytic activity test results revealed that using 0.5 g/L ZnO catalyst proved to be efficient in degrading organic content in POME. The percentage of chemical oxygen demand (COD) degradation reached 22.85%, color degradation reached 48.53% and the reaction rate kinetics constant of COD degradation was at 2.6´10-3 min-1.

Abstract

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can potentially be used to overcome issues with battery powered light buoys and their frequent maintenance. In this study, a phototrophic sediment microbial fuel cell (PSMFC) was chosen, as the microalgae provide oxygen to be reduced on the cathode and to release the necessary nutrients for the bacteria on the anode. To achieve this, we studied the effect of illumination, the period of the illumination, and the distance between 9-cm2 stainless steel mesh electrodes on the performance of the MFC. The illuminated cells were able to produce higher OCP (max. 205.2 mV) and higher power density (max. 0.68 mW/m2). However, the highest current was achieved during the unilluminated variation (max. 5.3 μA unilluminated and 3.3 μA illuminated). Prolonged illumination produced a higher OCP, current, and power density. A longer electrode distance produced a higher OCP, power density, and current. SEM analysis showed that biofilm formation tended to be scattered at lower electrode distance and more clumped (filling the anode area) at higher electrode distance. Through FTIR analysis, it was found that all MFC variations had the same organic matter, but a more concentrated organic content was found in the MFC at longer electrode distances.
