Abstract

In this study, cellulose microfibers were isolated from bagasse fibers in three stages. Initially, the fibers were treated with 5 wt.% NaOH solution followed by bleaching with 5 wt.% H2O2 in an alkali condition (pH 11) to remove hemicelluloses and lignin. Whole cellulosic fibers were obtained by mechanically separating the fibers using a modified kitchen blender to produce cellulose microfibers. Morphological (Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)) and structural analysis of the treated fiber was performed using Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Morphological characterization identified that the diameter of the fibers varied between 20 nm to 20 µm and the FTIR analysis demonstrated that the treatments resulted in the gradual removal of lignin and hemicelluloses from the fiber. Furthermore, the XRD studies revealed that the combination of the chemical and mechanical treatment is an effective way to increase purity of cellulose (removal of amorphous lignin and hemicellulose) and break down the microfiber into shorter crystalline parts with higher crystallinity (77.25%) than raw bagasse (40.54%). Accordingly, changing the agitation time revealed that the cellulose crystallite size in the sample varied slightly with agitation time by using a blender (3.35 nm). Finally, the higher crystallinity and crystallite size improved the thermal stability of the cellulose microfiber confirming their suitability in the manufacturing biomaterial composites.

Abstract

The evaporation station has an important role in the sugar factory. This station aims to concentrate the sugar solution until it reaches its saturation point (± 60% Brix), so that the process of forming sugar crystals at the cooking station becomes easier. However, the evaporation station also contributes to the highest sucrose inversion compared other stations. Sugar solution (sucrose) is resistant to high temperatures, long periods of time, and low pH. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the evaporation station. To reduce the risk of sucrose inversion in the evaporation station, the sugar solution is heated in a pressure vessel (vacuum). Vacuum conditions can lower the boiling point of juice. Performance evaluation of evaporation station is measured by the total temperature drop (ΣΔT). The temperature drop is influenced by the distribution of pressure and temperature in evaporation, as well as the evaporation rate. The values of the parameters are compared with the literatures. The standard for the value of ΣΔT is 40, while the standard evaporation rate for the quadruple effect evaporation system with bleeding is 26 kg/(m2.hour). The results of the evaluation show that the highest ΣΔT value is 40.96 and the evaporation rate is 24.5 kg/(m2.hour), so it can be concluded that the operational condition of the evaporation station at PG Sindang Laut Cirebon is quite good. The evaporation system is also quite efficient. However, the evaporation rate is still categorized as inefficient

Abstract

A rubber compound is an intermediate product resulting from mixing rubber with other additives before being molded through a vulcanization process. Frequently, there is a delay between the compounding process and vulcanization, therefore proper storage procedures must be prepared. The presence of a vulcanizing agent, activator, and accelerator in the compound allows the vulcanization reaction to occur during the storage period. This study aims to analyze the effect of the storage time and temperature of rubber compounds on rubber vulcanization characteristics. The rubber compound is stored at room temperatures of 25oC and 32oC. On the 1st, 3rd, and 5th day of storage, the compounds were tested using a rheometer to obtain vulcanization parameter data. The values of MH, ML, ts2, tc90, cure rate index (CRI), and effective torque of each treatment were studied. The results showed that the storage time of the compound affected each of the observed parameters. In the range of 5 days, the longer time indicates the formation of polysulfide crosslinks in the rubber polymer chain network. Higher storage temperature also faster reaction rate during storage. The increasing number of cross-links resulting a longer induction period dan vulcanization time, lower CRI, and effective torque.

Abstract

Indonesia is currently amid a Covid-19 virus pandemic. One of the efforts that can be done to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus is to wash your hands with soap, or you can use a hand sanitizer. However, hand sanitizers are mostly made of chemicals, many people feel side effects including dry skin, dermatitis, and irritation. This research aims to make hand sanitizer products made from natural ingredients, namely from extracts of aur-aur grass (Commelina diffusa Burm F.). Phytochemical tests showed that aur-aur grass contained 5,188.73 ppm flavonoid compounds, 8,673.60 ppm total phenol (tannin), and 466.30 ppm alkaloids. The manufacture of hand sanitizers was carried out in four variations with each sample having aur-aur extract levels of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. Of the existing hand sanitizer products, all of them have a pH of ±5 and get good responses from satisfaction values ​​above 80%. Hand sanitizer products also can inhibit bacterial growth. The increase in extract levels in the hand sanitizer is directly proportional to the ability to inhibit bacteria, as shown by sample D which has an average inhibition zone of 9.77 mm.

Abstract

The bad effects of exposure to sunlights through the content of UltraViolet A (UVA) and UltraViolet B (UVB) in the long term can cause skin damage. One way of protection is through the using of sunscreen. This study aims to make a gel sunscreen from natural ingredients, polyphenolic compounds from oil palm leaf extract. The use of natural sunscreens has the advantage of the safety level of use when compared to synthetic sunscreens. The process of making sunscreen consists of several stages, namely raw material preparation (separating the leaves from the palm fornds, chopping, washing, and drying the palm leaves), extraction palm leaf by the maceration method (soaking and stirring powdered plam leaf with ethanol 96%) and making gel preparations by mixing palm leaf extract with methylparaben and a gel base, namely Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) and Carbopol. After the gel is made, the preparation is tested to obtain a sunscreen formulation that complies with SNI No 16-4399-1996. From the test results, several standard formulations were obtained, namely pH, spreadability, emulsion stability, antioxidant, viscosity, and SPF parameters. The best sunscreen gel product is the F2 (comparison of HPMC and Carbopol 70% : 30%) with a concentration of 1% palm leaf extract.

Abstract

Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit (TKKS) merupakan limbah organik yang sangat banyak dijumpai diperkebunan kelapa sawit. TKKS memiliki nilai guna yang cukup tinggi karena terdapat kandungan serat di dalamnya. Namun, pemanfaatan TKKS di Pabrik Kelapa Sawit (PKS) masih sebatas sebagai pupuk. Oleh karena itu, pada riset ini dilakukan pemanfaatan kelapa sawit sebagai bahan baku pigmen organik untuk pembuatan tinta printer. Pigmen organik pada riset ini dibuat melalui beberapa tahapan, antara lain penghalusan bahan dengan parang, pengeringan dengan sinar matahari, proses karbonisasi (pengarangan) pada suhu 450oC menggunakan serangkaian alat karbonisasi, penghalusan arang (karbon) TKKS, pengayakan serbuk karbon dengan screen mesh T200 dan tahap pembuatan tinta printer dilakukan melalui pencampuran karbon TKKS dengan aquadest, alkohol, dan gum arab. Tinta yang dihasilkan akan diuji viskositas, uji transmitansi cahaya, uji adhesi, uji densitas, dan uji performa tinta. Hasil riset ini menunjukkan bahwa produk tinta printer terbaik didapatkan pada komposisi massa 2 g karbon dengan 5 mL alkohol, yang dicampur dengan bahan perekat berupa 3,5 g gum arab dalam 22,5 mL aquadest. Hasil uji cetak, transmitansi dan adhesi telah sesuai dengan Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) namun untuk uji viskositas perlu diteliti lebih lanjut.
