Abstract

Energy cannot be separated from human life. Increased energy needs for human life that are contradictory to existing fossil fuel sources can cause an energy crisis. Biomass is an alternative energy source that is environmentally friendly, economical and renewable. Biomass energy is derived from plants such as wood, rice hulls, corn head, etc. The process of converting biomass into energy can be done in several ways. They are combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification. Gasification is a technology for converting solid materials into syngas (CO, H2, and CH4) which can be used as a fuel. One of the gasifiers that have been developed is a downdraft system. The solid material we use in this study is a mahogany wood powder which has a cellulose content of up to 46.8%. Through this research, we can find out the effect of the variable of raw materials weight towards the time of flame, the quality of the fire, and the amount of gas produced. The gas produced was tested visually by lighting the fire and instrumentally tested using a tool called Chromatography Gas to determine the composition of the gas. The biggest yield syngas is 70,71% with the 18,000 seconds gas release time on the variable of mahogany wood powder weight of 3500 grams. The highest CH4 and CO Gas concentrations were 1,868% and 15.902% on the variable of 3,500 gram mahogany powder weight. While the highest concentration of H2 gas is 20.965% produced with the variable of 2,500 gram mahogany powder weight. The results of this study indicate that the more feed in the gasifier, the greater the number and composition of syngas and the longer the gas release time.

Abstract

Plastics waste has become a major issue for environment. Since it invented in 1907 plastic has become most used component on our daily lives. Plastic has many adavantages compared to other materials. In general plastic has a low density, light, varying strength and low manufacturing cost. However, plastic cannot degraded naturally and when not used anymore it will pollute the enviroment. One of method to degrade plastic is pyrolysis. In this method plastic will degrade to hydrocarbon which can used as liquid fuel. Pyrolysis of plastic occurs at high temperature of about 400 oC under free oxygen environment and produces small moleculer weight molecules. This research was conducted to determine the composition products of pyrolysis selective plastic at 450 oC in previous research. The method which used to separate products of pyrolysis is distillation with temperature between 50 oC to 240 oC to obtain liquid fuel as products of pyrolysis plastic. The results of this research were the distillate at 170 oC, 190 oC, 200 oC, 210 oC, 220 oC and 240 oC with volume 2 mL, 4,7 mL, 2,3 mL, 2,5 mL, 5,0 mL and 4,9 mL. And the most products component of pyrolysis plastic in previous research was obtain at 190 oC, 220 oC and 240 oC.

Abstract

So far, liquid waste from the tempe industry has yet to be utilized and is only disposed of in sewers to the environment. The liquid waste from tempe consists of soluble proteins from soybeans, which can give rise to a sour smell, and there are tiny particles that settle, so it is necessary to treat the waste before it is discharged into the environment. Alum is one of the coagulants that can be used to treat liquid waste. This research contributes to determining the effect of alum as a coagulant in tempe industrial wastewater to obtain optimal results. The optimum results in question are an increase in DO levels and a decrease in COD and TSS levels in the tempe industrial wastewater so that the resulting conditions are not dangerous if the waste is disposed of into the environment. The variables observed in this study were pH, DO, COD, and TSS comparing each variable. The variable used in this study was the weight of the alum coagulant with a stirring speed of 300 rpm for 90 minutes and standing for 24 hours. In this study, there is a correlation of variations in coagulant weight. The optimum results obtained were from 100 ml of waste. The optimum DO value produced was 8.4 mg/L at an interpretation of 10 grams of coagulant weight. The optimum COD concentration obtained was 18612.5 mg/L at a variation of 20 grams of coagulant weight. The optimum TSS concentration obtained was 102 mg/L with 25 grams of coagulant weight variation.

Abstract

From the beginning to the refinement process, the batik production process is indicated using chemicals that contain heavy metal elements so that the waste also still contains these heavy metal elements. If the waste material is not treated correctly, then the waste material can pollute the environment. Batik waste has carcinogenic properties because synthetic dyes still contain many heavy metals. Heavy metal pollution causes environmental damage and is dangerous to health. Chicken bones can be used as heavy metal adsorbents because, chemically, the main composition contains about 85% of minerals: calcium phosphate, 14% calcium carbonate, and 1% magnesium. The results showed that the chicken bone charcoal could adsorb the color from deep blue to clear yellow, a decrease in pH from 12 to pH 7, and a decrease in Cu metal content decrease by 50.19% and 19.36% for Cd metal. The metal content of the adsorption results has met the waste requirements with SNI 6889.67-2009 for Cu metal <0.003 mg/l and SNI 6989.16:2009 for Cd metal <0.01 mg/l. AbstrakProses produksi batik dari awal hingga proses penyempurnaan diindikasikan menggunakan bahan kimia yang mengandung unsur logam berat, sehingga limbahnya juga masih mengandung unsur logam berat tersebut. Limbah cair dari produksi batik perlu diolah dengan baik, agar limbah cair tersebut tidak memberikan dampak buruk atau mencemari lingkungan. Limbah batik memiliki sifat karsinogenik karena pewarna sintetis yang digunakan masih banyak mengandung logam berat. Pencemaran logam berat menyebabkan kerusakan lingkungan dan berbahaya bagi kesehatan. Tulang ayam dapat digunakan sebagai adsorben logam berat karena secara kimia komposisi utama mengandung sekitar 85% mineral yaitu kalsium karbonat, kalsium fosfat, dan magnesium. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa arang tulang ayam mampu menyerap warna dari biru tua menjadi kuning jernih, penurunan pH dari 12 menjadi pH 7 dan penurunan kandungan logam Cu sebesar 50,19% dan logam Cd sebesar 19,36%. Kandungan logam hasil adsorpsi telah memenuhi persyaratan limbah dengan SNI 6889.67-2009 untuk logam Cu <0,003 mg/l dan SNI 6989.16:2009 untuk logam Cd <0,01 mg/l.
