Abstract

The increasing world population, rapid industrialization, urbanization, and economic growth have led to a continuous increase in the consumption of fossil fuels to meet the ever-increasing demand for energy. Continuous emissions from burning fossil fuels will create a need to find appropriate and sustainable substitutes for fossil fuels. Biodiesel is the right alternative solution for diesel engines because it is renewable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. Waste cooking oil (WCO) from the food, non-food, restaurant, and household sectors is produced on a large scale in every country and can contribute to environmental pollution if proper disposal systems are not applied. Instead of throwing it landfills Environmental pollution can be minimized by recycling WCO. This study evaluates the potential of using WCO to produce biodiesel using zeolite synthesized from fly ash as a heterogeneous alkali catalyst through a transesterification reaction. The reactor in this study used a 1,000 ml three-necked boiling flask equipped with a condenser, cooling tank, and pump. Stirring and heating during the process of biodiesel production using a magnetic stirrer and a hot plate. The thermometer is used to measure the reaction temperature. Optimization of biodiesel production from zeolite catalyst synthesized from fly ash based on variations in the ratio of methanol: oil (8:1; 10:1; 12:1; and 14:1), catalyst weight (1, 2, 3, and 4% weight), and temperature (45 oC, 55 oC, and 65oC). Zeolite from fly ash produces biodiesel with a yield of 91.67% with optimum operating conditions reaction time of 60 minutes, methanol oil ratio of 8:1, operating temperature 55oC, and the amount of catalyst 1% by weight. This experiment confirms the possibility of utilizing fly ash waste for the application of catalysts in biodiesel production.

Abstract

Burning coal in a Coal-Fired Power Plant produces by-products like fly ash and bottom ash. Zeolite synthesized from the ash in Teluk Sirih Coal-Fired Power Plant was applied as a catalyst in the biodiesel transesterification reaction. Zeolite synthesis used the hydrothermal method with acid pretreatment. The operating conditions for fly ash zeolite are a 2.4-molar ratio SiO2/Al2O3 and a crystallization time of 6 hours. The bottom ash zeolite used a 2.0-molar ratio SiO2/Al2O3 and a crystallization time of 8 hours. The performance test of the synthesized catalyst was carried out in the transesterification reaction using waste cooking oil as a raw material with a free fatty acid content of 0.7%. The synthesized catalyst was characterized using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and Bruneuer-emmet-teller. The biodiesel with the highest yield was analyzed based on SNI 7182: 2015. The synthesis results of the catalyst produced type A zeolite, shown by the typical X-ray diffraction pattern and supported by the morphological test results using a cube-shaped. The surface area of zeolite fly ash and bottom ash is 12.87 m2/g and 5.13 m2/g. The test showed fly ash zeolite had the highest biodiesel yield of 89.66%. Based on the characterization using SNI 7182: 2015, the color and free glycerol met the standards, while density 40 C, kinematic viscosity 40 C, acid number, total glycerol, methyl ester content, and water content did not meet the standards.

Abstract

Based on a report by Van Lier (1917), it was written that the Sawahlunto community had utilized coal exposed to the surface as fuel for cooking long before the exploitation and exploration activities by the Dutch East Indies Government. The term used for the coal was charcoal tongue (daagzoom), and the community used boats on the Ombilin River to sell the commodity to South Sawahlunto. Based on historical records from PT Bukit Asam, an entity that was once the largest coal mine manager in Sawahlunto in the era of independence, the species and utilization of coal increased significantly after the discovery of coal reserves around the Ombilin River, as much as 205 million tons by Willem Hendrik de Greve in 1867. Pioneering mining was carried out by the Dutch East Indies Government in 1876 and began operating in 1891, with production records in 1892 of 48 thousand tons and peak production in 1995 of 1.2 million tons based on data from PT Bukit Asam. Of the many mining business permits (IUP) managed by several companies, both state-owned and private, several former mining areas have been appropriately reclaimed and become tourist areas. However, some former mining areas need to be appropriately managed and have turned into critical land. On the other hand, there are several mining company assets that are currently not being utilized, as well as the Ombilin Steam Power Plant (PLTU), which is still operating using coal fuel. Is it possible to utilize critical former mining areas to plant energy crops whose harvests can be processed in such a way by a business unit into renewable fuels to be used as alternative fuels, for example, by a power plant? By doing so, it is hoped that Sawahlunto, which has long been known as a fuel producer, can maintain its status as a Fuel Producer. This article will present this potential, including stakeholders who can be involved in realizing it.
