Abstract

Biogas production process is an alternative method to reduce dependency on non-renewable fossil-based energy consumption and also can reduce greenhouse gases production both domestically and industrially. The existing biogas technology is suitable to be adapted in small-micro-medium enterprises and domestics, specifically for those who raise cattle. The case study was performed by observation of biogas production with various wastes as feed, namely cow dung, quail manure, and wastewater of tofu production. The study conducted via direct interviews with stake holders and visitations to the instalations. Based on our observation, biogas production from cow dung exhibits the shortest retention time compared to the others, aside from the value of C/N ratio of the biogas feedstocks. The presence of biogas production installations are significantly reducing the energy supplies among the users. Beside as biogas product, the instalations also produce solid and liquid fertilizers as by-products and have relatively high economic value. Socio – engineering problems based on the application of biodigester are also studied.

Abstract

ABSTRAK. Studi mengenai struktur kristal suatu material sangat penting dalam mengetahui baik tidaknya material, terutama untuk aplikasi teknologi penyimpanan energi listrik seperti baterai ion litium. Semakin murni dan baik suatu struktur kristal material, maka semakin baik efisiensinya dalam menjadi bahan baku material katoda baterai. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah sintesis dan analisis karakteristik struktur kristal prekursor NMC811 oksalat (Ni0,8Mn0,1Co0,1C2O4) dari senyawa Mixed hydroxide precipitate atau MHP dengan presipitan asam oksalat. Sintesis prekursor NMC811 dilakukan dengan mereaksikan MHP (Ni 51,43% wt) dengan asam asetat agar diperoleh larutan nikel asetat. Sejumlah garam kobalt dan mangan ditambahkan kedalam larutan sehingga komposisi nikel:kobalt:mangan senilai 8:1:1. Endapan prekursor diperoleh dengan penambahan presipitan larutan asam oksalat. Endapan prekursor yang berhasil diisolasi dianalisis dengan X-ray diffractometer (XRD) untuk evaluasi struktur kristalnya. Berdasarkan analisis XRD MHP memiliki puncak difraksi yang kurang tajam dengan lebar pita yang relative besar sehingga menandakan bahwa MHP memiliki sifat kristal yang buruk. Sementara itu, Prekursor NMC811 oksalat memiliki puncak difraksi yang tajam. Hal ini membuktikan prekursor memiliki sifat kristal yang baik dengan kemurnian yang tinggi. Oleh karena itu, Prekursor NMC811 oksalat dengan bahan baku MHP dapat digunakan untuk bahan baku material katoda baterai ion litium tipe NMC811. ABSTRACT. The study of the crystal structure of a material is very important in knowing whether or not the material is good, especially for the application of electrical energy storage technology such as lithium ion batteries. The purer and better the crystal structure of a material, the better its efficiency in becoming a battery cathode raw material. The purpose of this study was to synthesize and analyze the characteristics of the crystal structure of the precursor NMC811 oxalate (Ni0,8Mn0,1Co0,1C2O4) from Mixed hydroxide precipitate or MHP with oxalic acid as a precipitate. NMC811 precursor was synthesized by reacting MHP (Ni 51.43% wt) with acetic acid to obtain a nickel acetate solution. A number of cobalt and manganese salts are added to the solution so that the nickel:cobalt:manganese composition is 8:1:1. The precursor precipitate was obtained by adding oxalic acid solution as a precipitate. The isolated precursor precipitate was analyzed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) to evaluate its crystal structure. Based on XRD analysis, MHP has a diffraction peak that is less sharp with a relatively large bandwidth, indicating that MHP has poor crystalline properties. Meanwhile, NMC811 oxalate precursor has a sharp diffraction peak. This proves the precursor has good crystalline properties with high purity. Therefore, the NMC811 oxalate precursor with MHP raw material can be used as the cathode material for the lithium ion battery type NMC811.

Abstract

Abstract. The high food industry waste can cause pollution including a pungent odor and the emergence of bacteria that cause disease. Egg shells are confectionery waste that is commonly found in household waste and the food industry. The accumulation of eggshell waste can cause various diseases such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, and cramps in the stomach caused by Salmonella bacteria. Thus, further processing of egg shells is required. In this study, eggshell waste was processed into heterogeneous catalysts of CaO. This heterogeneous CaO catalyst has the potential to be used as a catalyst in the manufacture of biodiesel. In this process, egg shells are processed by the calcination method. The variables used are shell type and calcination temperature. The shell variables used were chicken egg shells, duck egg shells, and quail egg shells. While the temperature variables used are at temperatures of 600 ºC and 800 ºC. To determine the quality of heterogeneous CaO catalyst, characteristic tests were varied out in the form of SEM-EDX and FTIR. From the analysis, the most effective results were in the form of chicken eggshell variables at a calcination temperature of 800 ºC.Keywords:Calcination, CaO, Catalyst, Shell, Waste

Abstract

Abstract. Nickel Catalyst is one of the common catalysts found in chemical industries. However, this catalyst has a limited lifetime indicated by having performance or activity drop so it is potentially become dangerous waste if the handling is not proper. The spent nickel catalyst needs to be processed to recover and avoid pollution towards the environment. The Hydrometallurgy method is a proper method to process nickel catalyst waste. The purpose of this research is to investigate the characteristic of a regenerated nickel catalyst when it is treated with HCl and H2SO4 as the lixiviant. In this research, the spent nickel catalyst was treated with HCl and H2SO4 in the presence of 2% H2O2 reductant under room conditions and mixing rate at 200 rpm for 30 minutes of reaction. The leaching filtrate was precipitated using NaOH solution while the formed precipitate was heated at 800 °C for 3 hours. The regenerated catalyst was characterized using FTIR and SEM-EDX. The SEM images showed regenerated catalyst prepared using the HCl solution has a different morphology compared to the one using the H2SO4 solution. Based on FTIR analysis, both samples exhibit Ni-O and C-O groups. Based on elemental analysis, the highest nickel concentration was obtained by using HCl with a Ni content of 25.98%w/w, compare to sulfuric acid (H2SO4) with a Ni content of 10.94%w/w. The Ni content can be improved by the addition of a washing step after the sintering process.Keywords:Hydrometallurgy Nickel Catalyst, Waste, Leaching, Sintering

Abstract

Abstract. The use of activated carbon in Indonesia is expanding along with the increasing demand for activated carbon. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to search for raw materials and methods for producing activated carbon to produce high-quality activated carbon. Sorghum stalk (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is used as a new precursor for the formation of activated carbon by utilizing a ZnCl2 activator followed by pyrolysis in a furnace with a temperature of 800°C. This study aims to determine the effect of drying and the concentration of activator agents on activated carbon production. The ZnCl2 activator concentrations used were 15% and 30%. The results showed that the activated carbon obtained through the withdrawal process with a ZnCl2 concentration of 30% had the highest carbon content, namely 100%. Test results with FTIR spectroscopy showed that the activated carbon samples had groups (C-H), (O-H), (C≡C), (C=O), (C=C), and (C-O). In addition, the SEM test results showed that the surface of the activated carbon formed had many pores. With the presence of activated carbon from sorghum stem waste, it is hoped that this product can reduce the contaminants contained in wastewater.Keywords: Activation, Activated Carbon, Waste, Pyrolysis, Sorghum, ZnCl2
