Abstract

Zwitterionic homopolymer polysulfobetaine (PBET) gels were synthesized using free radical polymerization. The effect of temperatures on adsorption behavior of the gel and transition temperature of the polymer in various solutions of LiCl, KCl, NaCl, Al(NO3)3, Zn(NO3)2, and NaNO3 were studied. The tendency of poly(BET)s transition temperature in Cl solutions very identical. All of poly(BET) solution resulted in Upper Critical Temperature (UCST). Its number increased along with the elevation of salt concentration. The number declined again when the concentration was too high. BET gel successfully adsorbed various ions with the amount of adsorption tendency of LiCl < NaCl < KCl.

Abstract

Boiler as the steam generator is usually utilized as a turbine drive and other industrial processes. Boiler needs good treatment and surveillance to keep its best performance. Boiler water (BW) and boiler feed water (BFW) quality control is essential in boiler maintenance since it preserves boiler from crust, corrosion, and carry over, moreover, it also prevents boiler pipe to break. Boiler maintenance in sugar refinery factory is carried out by controlling the quality of BFW, Chemical injection (inner maintenance) and blowdown of boiler water. BFW mineral content (SiO2 , total hardness) is maintained as small as possible using a softener (cation resin) or demineralization unit (cation and anion resin). Chemical injection is performed by the addition of soda in order to control the pH of boiler water. Phosphate addition aims to tie up total hardness level which is caused by concentration process of water boiler and slipped of hard water from BFW. Blowdown process has purpose to reduce crust and corrosion caused by mineral concentrate inside boiler. The experiment was conducted by controlling pH of BFW from 7.5-8.5, maximum total hardness at 3 ppm, maximum SiO2  concentration at 3 ppm and maximum Total Dissolve Solid (TDS) at 100 ppm while BW was controlled its pH at 10.5-11, maximum total hardness at 20 ppm, maximum SiO2  concentration at 50 ppm, maximum Total Dissolve Solid (TDS) at 2000 ppm, and residual phosphate ion between 4 – 10 ppm. The experiment time was adjusted as a milled day or about for 140 days. The result of the experiment showed that the treatment had a good impact on the condition of the boiler drum pipe.

Abstract

Bioethanol is ethanol whose main ingredients are from plants and generally use a pharmaceutical process. Therefore, Indonesia still needs a more effective source of bioethanol as fuel. Bioethanol production from vegetable waste is a realistic solution, one example is waste from the brown sugar home industry. The purpose of this research is to innovate the production of bioethanol by utilizing sap sugarcane waste in a brown sugar industry home using the Enzyme Hydrolysis and Fermentation Method. The process of making bioethanol is the raw material preparation stage, the hydrolysis stage, and the fermentation stage. The first stage, the preparation of raw materials is done by filtering the molasses waste and then dissolving it with distilled water in 2000 mL Erlenmeyer. the second stage, the hydrolysis stage, is to hydrolyze the molasses solution according to the predetermined ratio variables, by going through two stages in the hydrolysis stage, namely liquefaction and saccharification. In the liquefaction process, -amylase is added at a temperature of 90oC and heated on a hot plate stirrer for 2 hours. Then the saccharification stage was carried out by adding the enzyme gluco-amylase at a temperature of 65oC for 4 hours. The third stage, the fermentation stage, was carried out with variations of bread and yeast tape with the additional variables of 5%, 10%, and 15% nutrient (2% urea and 3%). Fermentation will be carried out for 3 days. The results showed that the maximum sugar content was achieved by using a concentration ratio of sugarcane juice: water = 1:0 with an enzyme hydrolysis process of 196.08 g/L. The maximum bioethanol content after fermentation was 18.6% and reducing sugar of 10.98 g/L was achieved by using 10% baker's yeast at a concentration of sugar cane juice: water ratio = 1:1. The maximum bioethanol content after the fermentation process was 12.96% and the reducing sugar was 27.78 g/L was achieved using 10% tape yeast at a concentration ratio of sugarcane juice: water = 1:1.
