Abstract

The use of synthetic dyes as dyes is increasing so that the waste is polluting the environment. One of the dangerous wastes that damages the environment and causes health problems is rhodamine B dye. The removal of rhodamine B dye is carried out by adsorption using an adsorbent that has been modified to provide magnetic properties. The aim of the research is to synthesize magnetic adsorbent nanoparticles using the co-precipitation method and use them to reduce the concentration of rhodamine B dye in artificial wastewater at various time variations. The study shows that magnetic nanoparticle adsorbents were successfully synthesized using the precipitation method. The adsorbent particles provide a magnetic effect on external magnetic forces, which shows that the adsorbent nanoparticles are magnetic. The application of magnetic adsorbent nanoparticles showed that the longer the adsorption time, the percentage of rhodamine B dye removal increased. The highest removal was obtained at 86% at an adsorption time of 90 minutes and an adsorbent mass of 4 g.

Abstract

The accumulation of market waste and coconut shells poses a significant environmental challenge, necessitating effective management strategies by both local governments and academic institutions. This study explores the conversion of organic market waste into Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) through a dry fermentation (peuyeumization) process using 5% EM4 bio-activator over a 21-day incubation period. Concurrently, coconut shells were carbonized to produce high-carbon Coconut Shell Charcoal (CSC). Both RDF and CSC, ground to a 100-mesh particle size, were utilized to produce cylindrical bio-briquettes (7 cm height, 3.6 cm outer diameter, 1.6 cm inner diameter) using a compaction method. Various RDF:CSC ratios (0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, and 100:0) were tested with three concentrations of tapioca starch adhesive (6%, 8%, and 10%). The quality of the resulting briquettes was evaluated based on the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 01-6235-2000), assessing parameters such as moisture content, ash content, density, fixed carbon content, and calorific value. Combustion characteristics were further examined through ignition time and combustion rate measurements. The optimal briquette was produced at a 25:75 RDF:CSC ratio with 6% adhesive, achieving a weight of 30 g, density of 0.46 g/mL, fixed carbon content of 75.51%, moisture content of 5.25%, ash content of 5.91%, calorific value of 6117.38 cal/g, ignition time of 63.78 minutes, and combustion rate of 1.55 g/min. These findings indicate that the bio-briquettes meet the calorific standard of young coal, supporting their potential use as an environmentally friendly alternative fuel.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Jangka salt contains NaCl, CaCl₂, MgCl₂, CaSO₄, MgSO₄, Na₂SO₄, H₂O, dust, soil, and fine sand, with NaCl content of less than 78%, categorizing it as low-quality salt. This salt can be refined to increase its NaCl content to 92%-100% through gradual physical and chemical purification processes, as well as using ion-exchange resin, resulting in high-quality salt. One of the advantages of high-quality salt is its use as a raw material for producing chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide through the electrolysis process. The results can be used in various industries for water treatment, soap production, plastics, paper manufacturing, and other chemical industries.Keywords: Chlorine gas, sodium hydroxide, salt, purification, electrolysis.

Abstract

The transformation of oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) incineration ash into granular potassium fertilizer offers a promising approach to recycling agro-industrial waste while producing value-added products. This study focuses on the formulation of EFB ash-based granules using tapioca starch as a natural binder, and examines the effects of binder weight and drying time on granule yield, pH, K₂O content, and moisture content. Tapioca starch was incorporated at five  different weight (5, 10, 15, 20,  and 25 g) to evaluate its influence on granulation performance. The results showed that increasing tapioca starch content significantly improved the granule yield, achieving a maximum of 67.91% at 15 g. However, there are no granular formed. The granular formed at weight of binder 25 g that resulted 67.22% yield and 36.72% Potasium. The pH of the granules slightly decreased with increasing binder dosage. Moisture content was influenced by both the binder weight and drying time; higher starch content retained more water. This study demonstrates that tapioca starch is a viable biodegradable binder for producing eco-friendly granular fertilizers from EFB ash, supporting sustainable waste valorization and agricultural practices.

Abstract

Biorang briquettes are solid fuels derived from a mixture of powder and adhesive to form a specific shape according to the desired results through a pressing process. The purpose of this study was to determine the variation in particle size and carbonization temperature of palm shell waste on the results of biorang briquette testing. This study used two independent variables, namely the particle size of palm shell charcoal 10 mesh, 20 mesh, 40 mesh, 60 mesh and 80 mesh and the carbonization temperature of 4000C, 450 0C, 500 0C, 550 0C and 600 0C. The results showed that the higher the temperature and particle size of palm shell charcoal, the lower the water content, ash content and flame duration, while the volatile content increased with increasing temperature and particle size.

Abstract

Melinjo fruit peel waste has various components or compounds that function for the body and can be used for natural food coloring. The compounds found in red melinjo fruit peel are phenolics, flavonoids, lycopene, vitamin C, and β-carotene. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of variations in extraction time and solvent type on flavonoid content and antioxidant activity. This study was conducted by varying the maceration extraction time for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days, the types of solvents used were distilled water and 70% ethanol. The results of melinjo fruit peel extract on the effect of extraction time on both solvents, the longer the extraction time, the better the results. Depending on the type of solvent used, the 70% ethanol solvent produces a more complex extract because ethanol is active in the extraction of flavonoids, and the Aquadest solvent can only extract components that are only soluble in water. The effect of varying the extraction time using the solvent types of distilled water and 70% ethanol on the flavonoid content test showed a maximum increase in flavonoid levels on day 5. And in the antioxidant activity test, the effect of extraction time shows that the longer the extraction the higher the %inhibition, the type of 70% ethanol solvent produces an antioxidant value of 2.42 μg/mL, which is more effective to use because it produces a higher %inhibition compared to Aquadest solvent with a value of 5.45 μg/mL.

Abstract

Cooking oil is one of the basic human needs as a food processing ingredient. Using cooking oil repeatedly and continuously during thefrying process will reduce the quality of the cooking oil. One way to process used cooking oil is by adsorption using an activated carbonadsorbent. In this research, adsorbents used sugar cane bagasse, rice husks and coconut fiber were used using the column adsorptionmethod. Also, with sampling times of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 (minutes). This research aims to determine the comparativeeffect of adsorbent variations and the effect of adsorption time on the reduction of free fatty acids, water content, peroxide value and density. Sugarcane bagasse, rice husks and coconut fiber were activated using 0.1 N NaOH for 2 hours, where the activation aims to increasethe pore diameter or produce new pores. The results of the research that has been carried out are that the best reduction in free fatty acidswas in the rice husk adsorbent type with an adsorption time of 90 minutes, resulting in free fatty acids of 1.84%. And the best peroxidevalue obtained was 6.6 mg/g. From the results of this research it can be concluded that rice husk adsorbent is better in reducing free fattyacids and peroxide value using the column adsorption method.
