Abstract

Vegetable oil is one of the alternative sources of raw material for fuel oil to produce biodiesel. The conversion reaction process requires the help of a catalyst to break down triglycerides into methyl esters. Therefore, this study aims to determine the performance of catalysts made from coconut shells to convert bulk oil into biodiesel. The catalyst performance is focused on biodiesel's yield parameters through the influence factor of catalyst weight, molar ratio, and %FAME. This research was conducted in three stages, namely (1) catalyst preparation, (2) application of catalyst performance through the conversion process of bulk oil into biodiesel, (3) washing of biodiesel. The first stage was catalyst preparation carried out by utilizing a coconut shell, which was first made into charcoal, then activated using H3PO4 then sulfonated with H2SO4. The second stage was the conversion process of bulk oil into biodiesel using coconut shell catalysts through a transesterification process using variations in the catalyst's weight to bulk oil (0.5; 1; 1.5; 2; and 2.5% wt/wt) and bulk oil molar:methanol ratio (1: 3; 1: 6; and 1: 9). The third stage was the process of washing biodiesel using HCl. Based on this study's results, the best catalyst weight was 2% wt/wt with a molar ratio of 1: 9 resulting in the highest yield of 89% and the FAME of 80.36%.

Abstract

The effluent discharged from the batik textile industry often contains azo compounds and organic contaminants. One method employed to address these pollutants is the Electrofenton (EF) technique. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of electrofenton in reducing both color content and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) in batik dyeing effluent. The Electrofenton process was conducted in batch mode, varying electrode distances at 4 cm and 6 cm, H2O2:FeSO4 molarity ratios of (10:0.05) and (10:0.1), and electric voltage strengths at 6 volts and 8 volts. The research revealed that employing an electric voltage of 8 volts, an electrode distance of 4 cm, a contact time of 120 minutes, and a Fenton dosage molarity of 10:0.05 M resulted in a remarkable removal efficiency of 97.8% with a final concentration of 103 mg/L for color content. Additionally, for COD, employing the same parameters led to a removal effectiveness of 90.1%, with a final concentration of 730 PtCo. The impact of Fenton dosage on COD removal was statistically analyzed using the t-test. The computed t-value of 3.444 surpassed the tabulated t-value of 2.776, indicating a significant influence of Fenton dosage on COD removal.

Abstract

Elektrokoagulasi merupakan teknologi pengolahan limbah cair menggunakan tegangan listrik. Elektrokoagulasi memanfatkan prinsip elektrokimia untuk mengendapkan berbagai pengotor didalam limbah baik bahan organik maupun anorganik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh variasi jarak elektroda dan waktu proses elektrokoagulasi terhadap persen removal COD, TSS dan Intensitas warna. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan elektroda Al-Zn dengan ukuran 5x10 cm dan reaktor elektrokoagulasi 20x16x16 cm. Jarak elektroda pada proses elektrokoagulasi ini divariasikan yaitu pada jarak 2, 4 dan 6 cm. Waktu proses yang digunakan yaitu selama 220, 240, 260, 280 dan 300 menit. Tegangan listrik dalam proses elektrokoagulasi yang digunakan 12 volt. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Persen removal COD dan Intensitas tertinggi pada lama waktu elektrokoagulasi 300 menit yaitu 93,49% dan 95,5%. Sedangkan untuk persen removal TSS lama waktu elektrokoagulasi terbaik pada 280 menit sebesar 78,71%. Jarak antar elektroda terbaik menghasilkan persen removal COD, TSS, dan intensitas warna, pada jarak terbaik pada 2 cm.

Abstract

Arsenic contamination in wastewater poses serious environmental and public health risks because of its toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulation potential. This study investigated the synthesis and performance of magnetic zeolite nanocomposites (MZN) derived from coal fly ash (CFA) for efficient As(V) removal from wastewater. CFA obtained from the PT PLN Ombilin Power Plant, West Sumatra, Indonesia, was converted into zeolite NaA/NaX through an alkaline hydrothermal method and subsequently modified with Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles to enhance adsorption capacity and magnetic separability. The synthesized MZN was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analyses. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial arsenic concentration, and temperature on adsorption performance. The maximum As(V) removal efficiency reached 97.4% under optimum conditions of pH 6, adsorbent dosage of 2 g/L, and contact time of 120 min. Adsorption behavior followed the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, indicating monolayer chemisorption. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed a spontaneous and endothermic process. Regeneration tests showed that MZN maintained over 85% removal efficiency after five adsorption–desorption cycles, demonstrating its potential as an effective, reusable, and low-cost adsorbent for industrial wastewater treatment.
