Abstract

Palm frond has been utilized only for raw source of animal feed, compost and organic fertilizer in plantation area. Oil palm fronds has calorific value of 15,184.05 kJ/kg with a density of 0.1383 g/cm3. Calorific value can be enhanced by densification.

Abstract

Molded pulp is an alternative packaging which has renewable and biodegradable properties. The use of molded pulp as packaging material still constrained due to the specific data that describes the characteristics of molded pulp has not widely publicized yet. This study was conducted to identify the characteristics of molded pulp as an alternative packaging material. Cornstalk was selected as raw materials which has abundant availabilty. Molded pulp packaging was manufactured by thermoformed methods. The thermoset nature of lignin in cornstalks would give possibilties in manufacture of molded pulp without using adhesive. The results showed the mechanical characteristics of binderless molded pulp from cornstalk pulp which have tensile index from 17.78 to 35.78 Nm/g, tear index from 9,25 to 26,09 mN.m2/g, and burst index from 0.901 to 1.5 kPa.m2/g. The effects of dependent variables on the mechanical properties of molded pulp were studied by statistical modelling using a polynomial second order. The empirical models were deduced to satisfactorily fit experimental data with the values of independent variables and allow to quantifiying the effects of each variables. The most influential factor on tensile and burst index of molded pulp was temperature of processing. Whereas, the processing pressure has greater influence on tear index of molded pulp.Keywords:material characterization; binderless, molded pulp; mechanical properties; statistical modelling.

Abstract

Reduced forest makes the availability of woods as the construction material on the wane. Oil palm frond has a potential to use to decrease utilization of woods directly. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of oxalic acid and thermal pretreatment to morphology and properties of oil palm frond based wood plastic composite (WPC). The temperature of pretreatment were varied at 100oC, 120oC, and 140oC with submersion time 15 minutes. The mass ratio of oil palm frond sized 100 – 200 mesh as filler and polypropylene as a matrix is 30:70. 2% paraffin as plasticizer and 5% maleic anhydride polypropylene as compatibilizer were use as an additive. WPC samples were prepared using internal mixer Labo Plastomill at temperature 180oC and rotor speed 80 rpm. Testing experiments were prepared to mechanical testing consist of tensile and flexural strength and physical testing consist of density, water absorption, and swelling thickness. Scanning Electron Microscopy was used as a morphology testing. The result showed that oxalic acid pretreatment significantly gives an effect to mechanical and physical properties. The best WPC in this study was treated in the 120oC using oxalic acid based on tensile strength with 23.785 MPa, flexural strength 43.2 MPa, density 0.975 gr/cm3, water absorption 1.44%, and swelling thickness 0.17%.Keywords: pretreatment, oil palm frond, wood plastic composite

Abstract

Petroleum reserves in Indonesia are increasingly depleted, requiring the use of alternative energy that is environmentally friendly and renewable like biodiesel. Biodiesel can be made by transesterification process of vegetable oils. Process of making biodiesel commonly use homogeneous catalyst which has the disadvantage the formation of by products such as complexity of the separation of catalyst. Therefore, in this study biodiesel was synthesized from calophyllum inophyllum oil by using geopolymer catalyst. Geopolymer catalyst is first synthesized by reacting sodium silicate, metakaolin, NaOH, and water. Several variations of the process variables were done to assess its influence on yield of biodiesel. The variables were used consist of a dependent variables and independent variables. The dependent variables were calophyllum inophyllum oil weight of 50 grams, 3%-wt of catalyst concentration, reaction time of 120 minutes, and stirring speed of 400 rpm, while the independent variables which variation molar ratio of oil:methanol 1:6 and 1:9 and variations of temperature 55 and 65 oC. Physical characterization were done including density 871 kg/m3, kinematic viscosity 4.38 mm2/s, acid number 0.41 mg-KOH/g biodiesel and flash point 140°C respectively accordance with the standards of Indonesian biodiesel (SNI 7182:2015).Keywords: biodiesel, catalyst, calophyllum inophyllum oil, geopolymer, yield

Abstract

Off-grade palm oil is a source of untapped vegetable oil. Off-grade palm oil can be used as an alternative raw material for biodiesel production despite having high content Free Fatty Acid (> 5%). Plant with a capacity of 30 tones of FFB yield 7-10% off-grade palm oil or 2-3 tons per hour. The catalyst used is potassium hydroxide because it has smaller ionization energy, making it faster to form a product when used as a catalyst. This research aims to produce biodiesel from low-quality raw materials and determine the effectiveness of the process by looking at the effect of process conditions such as reaction temperature, molar ratio and catalyst concentration on the yield of biodiesel. The biodiesel making process was carried out with two stages of the reaction, esterification and transesterification reactions due to high content of free fatty acid in the raw material. Data processing in this study was analyzed by response surface methodology (RSM) using Design Expert 8.0 program. Experiment runs were determined by central composite design (CCD), which consists of three variables, namely temperature, catalyst concentration and molar ratio of methanol to oil. The highest biodiesel yield was 88.56% (%wt) obtained under the conditions of reaction temperature 60 °C, the molar ratio of methanol to oil 8:1 and the concentration of 1% KOH base catalyst. The characteristics of biodiesel produced in the form of density, kinematic viscosity, acid number and flash point are in accordance with the standards of Indonesian biodiesel. Catalyst concentration have a significant influence on the yield of biodiesel.Keyword : off-grade palm oil, biodiesel, base catalyst, esterification and transesterification

Abstract

Off-grade palm oil is a source of vegetable oils that utilization is not maximized yet. It has ALB > 2% so must be process with esterification and transesterification. In general, biodiesel is produced through transesterification reactions using homogeneous catalysts. Homogeneous catalysts can be replaced with heterogeneous catalysts with easily separated and environmentally friendly. Waste iron powder can be used as catalyst support and provide metallic properties for separate product easily. This study aims to create a catalyst that has metallic properties and to study the transesterification reaction process conditions at transesterification process. Esterification process were reacted at 60 °C with time reaction 1 hour, molar ratio of methanol : oil of 12:1 and 1% H2SO4-w catalyst.

Abstract

The utilization from oil palm empty fruit bunches is still limited. One alternative to the utilization of oil palm empty fruit bunches is by extracting potassium hydroxide from the ashes of oil palm empty fruit bunches. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature and extraction time using the single-stage method on the yield of potassium hydroxide. The dry ash from oil palm empty fruit bunches is reashing in the furnace and sieved with a 200 mesh sieve then extracted using water as a solvent at a temperature of 70oC, 80oC, 9 oC and extraction time of 4, 5, 6 hours. Ash extraction of oil palm empty fruit bunches at 90oC and 6 hours resulted in a potassium hydroxide yield of 51.37%. The results showed that the yield of potassium hydroxide increased with increasing temperature and extraction time. Keywords: extraction, oil palm empty fruit bunch, potassium hydroxide, single-stage
