Abstract

The utilization of biomass waste as a substitute for conventional energy sources has gained popularity, and one possible source is the litter generated by eucalyptus plantations. The present study used thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) gain insight into the thermochemical characteristics of eucalyptus leaves. It was identified by heating the sample in a nitrogen environment from ambient temperature to 850oC at a rate of 10 oC/minute. Eucalyptus leaves have a high volatile matter (VM) content and a calorific value (CV) of 17.26 MJ/kg, according to the ultimate and proximate analysis. Additionally, the TGA results showed that eucalyptus leaves had a lower ignition temperature than other biomasses. Eucalyptus leaves began to devolatilize at 119 oC, reaching a peak temperature of 326 oC, and losing 68% of their weight as a result.

Abstract

Used oil more commonly referred to as used cooking oil is household waste that contains carcinogenic compounds which are very dangerous if consumed by the human, so that it does not become waste in the community can be used as raw material for making biodiesel. Used cooking oil processing can be done with the use of adsorbents so that used cooking oil becomes clear and its quality can be maintained. Palm Oil has the potential to be used as carbon which functions as an Adsorbent in the refining of used cooking oil. In this study, palm fronds were carbonized using pyrolysis with a temperature of 3500C then mashed and sifted with mesh sizes of 50, 70, and 100 mesh. Followed by the activation process using 0.1 M sulfuric acid solution (H2SO4) for 3 hours and then dried using an oven. The results of the study showed that the best turbidity was an adsorbent measuring 100 mesh with a mass of 4.5 grams, the final turbidity obtained with a value of 15.9 NTU with a total turbidity reduction of 108.6 NTU.
