Abstract

ABSTRAK. Pertumbuhan industri pabrik kelapa sawit masih cukup potensial di Indonesia. Kajian produk samping hasil produksi pabrik kelapa sawit ini masih belum diolah dengan optimal. Pemanfaatan fly ash sebagai salah satu produk samping masih sangat perlu dikembangkan. Silika merupakan komposisi penyusun fly ash pabrik kelapa sawit yang sangat diminati saat ini karena memiliki potensi aplikasi dalam berbagai tujuan seperti pengolahan limbah, material semikonduktor, dan bahan aditif pertanian. Penelitian pengolahan silika dari abu hasil proses pembakaran tidak terlepas dari metode ektraksi yang sangat bergantung dari karakteristik kelarutan silika terhadap pelarutnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi karakteritik kelarutan silika yang berasal dari fly ash pabrik kelapa sawit dalam larutan berupa basa kuat (NaOH) dan asam lemah (C6H8O7). Aktivitas kelarutan silika dalam pelarut asam dan basa dilakukan dengan memvariasikan konsentrasi pelarut yaitu 1 M, 2 M, dan 3 M. Proses pelarutan silika dilakukan pada temperatur 60oC dalam waktu 60 menit. Karaketrisasi fly ash dilakukan dengan menggunakan instrumen XRD, XRF, dan SEM yang menunjukkan bahwa senyawa penyusun utama fly ash adalah CaO 68,894% dan SiO2 19,189 % yang terkandung dalam mineral kalsit, portlandite, dan kuarsa dengan morfologi yang heterogen serta ukuran partikel berkisar 200 μm – 300 μm. Hasil pelarutan menunjukkan bahwa kelarutan silika tertinggi diperoleh dalam pelarut asam sitrat 2 M yaitu sebesar 26,35 %.Kata kunci: Kelarutan, Silika, Asam Lemah, Basa Kuat, NaOH, (C6H8O7) ABSTRACT. The growth of the palm oil mill industry still has quite potential in Indonesia, but the study of by-products produced by palm oil mills is immobile and not managed optimally. The use of fly ash as one of the by-products urgently necessities to be developed. Silica is a constituent composition of palm oil fly ash that is in great demand today because it has potential applications in various purposes such as sewage treatment, semiconductor materials, and agricultural additives. Research on silica processing from ash from the combustion process is inseparable from the extraction method which is highly dependent on the characteristics of silica solubility to the solvent. This study aims to provide information on the characteristics of silica solubility derived from palm oil mill fly ash in a solution in the form of strong bases (NaOH) and weak acids (C6H8O7). The solubility activity of silica in acidic and alkaline solvents is carried out by varying the solvent concentration of 1 M, 2 M, and 3 M. Silica dissolution process is carried out at a temperature of 60oC within 60 minutes. Fly ash characterization was carried out using XRD, XRF, and SEM instruments which showed that the main constituent compounds of fly ash were CaO 68.894% and SiO2 19.189% contained in calcite, portlandite, and quartz minerals with heterogeneous morphology with particle size between 200 μm – 300 μm. The dissolution results showed that the highest silica solubility was obtained in a 2 M citric acid solvent, which was 26.35%.Keywords: Solubility, Silica, Weak Acid, Strong Base, NaOH, (C6H8O7)

Abstract

CV. Amna Lab Aromaterapi Small and Medium Enterprises have started the citronella oil business in 2018. Some of its products such as soap, aromatherapy spray, propolis, and body oil have arrived in several big cities in Indonesia. However, since the Covid-19 pandemic, these SMEs have experienced difficulties, especially regarding the large capital costs and the price of citronella which has fallen drastically to 100% of the original price. Under these conditions, SMEs are constrained in the process of increasing productivity and lack production technology as well as marketing and management. The Community Service Team of the ATI Padang Polytechnic offers solutions to overcome these problems by providing alternative processing of citronella oil-based products to be aromatherapy candles and educating the SMEs on the product marketing strategies through e-commerce applications. The community service team tried resolving the delinquent by determining the amount of citronella oil that should be included and the composition variations of stearic acid, vegetable oil, and paraffin. The variations were tested in order to find the right comparison in making aromatherapy candles based on citronella oil. The team also searched and studied several references to analyze marketing strategies in accordance with SMEs CV. Amana Aromatherapy Lab. Considering the result of the experiments, it was identified that 1% of citronella oil could be added to the wax mixture while the exact composition of oil and paraffin was 1: 2. The stearic acid was unsuitable to applied since the candle product easily melted. E-commerce marketing strategies were used by utilizing advertisements on internet searches to expand the promotions.

Abstract

Penggunaan fly ash (FA) pabrik kelapa sawit (PKS) sebagai adsorben dapat meningkatkan nilai guna dalam pengolahan limbah padat PKS. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji kemampuan FA sebagai adsorben untuk pemucatan (bleaching) crude palm oil (CPO). Adsorben FA diharapkan dapat mengurangi atau menjadi alternatif pengganti adsorben komersial bleaching earth (BE) di industri refinery minyak sawit. Penelitian diawali dengan proses aktivasi adsorben FA secara kimia (penambahan larutan asam oksalat) dan fisika (pemanasan menggunakan furnace). CPO dilakukan degumming terlebih dahulu menggunakan asam fosfat. Selanjutnya, adsorben hasil aktivasi dan adsorben komersial BE digunakan dalam proses bleaching CPO dengan jumlah adsorben dan suhu bleaching yang divariasikan. CPO hasil bleaching dilakukan uji warna dengan lovibond tintometer untuk menentukan kemampuan penyerapan adsorben. Penurunan warna CPO terendah diperoleh pada adsorben FA dengan aktivasi kimia pada konsentrasi asam oksalat 1,5 M (FA 1,5 M) dan aktivasi fisika pada suhu 400°C (FA 400°C) masing-masing sebesar 16R/16Y dengan jumlah adsorben 1,5% dan suhu pemucatan 120°C. Berdasarkan hasil uji gum, penggunaan dosis adsorben 1,5% menunjukkan tidak adanya sisa gum pada CPO hasil bleaching. Selain itu juga dikaji kemampuan penyerapan dari kombinasi adsorben FA dan BE dengan rasio yang divariasikan. Penurunan warna CPO terbaik sesuai standar mutu industri refinery sebesar 17R/17Y diperoleh pada rasio adsorben BE:FA sebesar 1:3 (adsorben campuran BE:FA 1,5 M dan BE:FA 400°C). Kadar FFA CPO hasil bleaching secara keseluruhan mengalami kenaikan dibanding dengan CPO awal yaitu sebesar 7,719%.
