Abstract

Solketal is a chemical that can be made by combining glycerol with acetone. This compound can be used as a fuel oil additive to improve the cold flow properties of liquid transportation fuels, reduce specific emissions, aid in the reduction of gum formation (oil sap), increase oxidation stability, and increase the octane number by up to 2.5 points to accelerate the initiation process in motor fuel combustion. The addition of solketal, a bio-additive material in biodiesel, is expected to reduce emissions from diesel engines. Solketal can reduce glycerol waste created from biodiesel synthesis in addition to reducing resultant emissions because glycerol waste can be used as the primary raw material in the process manufacture of the solketal. The purpose of this research is to find out The catalytic process of glycerol and acetone using Amberlite IR 120 Na catalyst was traced using gas chromatography analysis. Solketal formation analysis using gas chromatography was used in this study. According to the results of gas chromatography analysis, the solketal produced without going through the distillation process has a purity of 23.54%, while the solketal produced after going through the distillation process has a purity of 38.94% when compared to the synthetic solketal produced by Sigma Aldrich, which has a purity of 95.67%. To manufacture solketal with a higher level of purity, the batch method was improved by adding a distillation process step to remove the water content and acetone that was still present in the sample.

Abstract

Response Surface Methodology-Central Composite Design (RSM-CCD) is widely employed in the process of optimizing the applications of coagulants for wastewater treatment. The experiment aims to evaluate the effect of the FeSO4.7H2O concentration and settling time on removing the chromium hexavalent (Cr (VI)) from wastewater by coagulation-flocculation using RSM-CCD. This experiment was carried out based on the results of the model and optimization using the RSM-CCD to obtain the removal efficiency of Cr (VI) as well as determine the influence of the concentration of FeSO4.7H2O (X1) and settling time (X2). The RSM-CCD experimental design uses a two-factor and two-level design with 13 experimental runs and 5 center points. Inter-variable regression coefficients are also produced with the elimination of Cr (VI). The ANOVA test results showed a fairly significant figure for the assembled model. The model validation results show that the proposed model is compatible with the experimental results. RSM optimization shows optimum conditions based on experimental FeSO4.7H2O coagulant concentration variables and coagulation time at 150 mg/L coagulant concentration and 60 minutes of time, and the prediction results based on RSM-CCD optimization using Design Expert show the most optimum condition at 165,562 mg/L coagulant concentrations and 60,527 minutes of time.

Abstract

The world is experiencing a crisis of scarcity of diesel fuel sources. The B30 program is to develop energy sources by utilizing alternative energy sources to prevent petroleum shortages. This program also supports research, namely making biodiesel using non-edible raw materials. Apart from that, another benefit of this research is to determine the effect of time on the yield of biodiesel production, knowing the effect of stirring speed on the diffusivity constant and reaction speed constant of the reactive extraction process. Biodiesel production in this research uses a reactive extraction process. The raw materials used are mahogany seeds, the solvent is methanol, chloroform as a co-solvent, and KOH as a catalyst. This process uses a temperature of 65°C, reaction time of 40 and 80 minutes, and varying stirring speeds of 200 and 300 rpm. The effect of time with a variable stirring speed of 200 rpm the longer the resulting yield increases, while at a stirring speed of 300 rpm the resulting yield decreases. The yield obtained at 200 rpm stirring was 82.363% (40 minutes), 87.6366% (80 minutes), 84.7605% (40 minutes), and 78.7204 (80 minutes). For the methyl ester diffusion constant, the stirring speed of 200 rpm is 8,20 x 10-8 dm2/minute, while the stirring speed of 300 rpm is 8,17 x 10-8 dm2/minute. The reaction rate constant is 1.99 dm3/mol min.

Abstract

Phytoremediation utilizes metal-trapping plants to recover water as the main source of contamination, Pistia Stratiotes L. is a hyperaccumulator plant that is considered capable of reducing hexavalent chromium levels in wastewater. This is evidenced by the results obtained on each of the variables investigated, namely the effect of contact time and the number of plants. Where, the effect of contact time on the most optimal reduction in hexavalent chromium concentration on day 10 is 22.55 mg/ L with an efficiency value of 54.89 %. While the effect of the number of plants on the reduction in the most optimal metal concentration was found in the first reactor with the number of plants 4, chromium concentration was 23.16 mg/ L with an efficiency value of 54.89%. This means that the longer the phytoremediation process will affect the decrease in chromium levels in waste samples but has no effect on the number of plants used if the plant mass is not calculated before treatment. The recommended kinetic models for phytoremediation systems using P. Stratiotes L plants are Richard's Pseudo First Order and Pseudo Second Order. However, when viewed from the prediction value and experimental data, Pseudo Second Order Kinetic Models are considered suitable to describe the phenomenon that occurs in this study, with an SSE value of 1.0042 and a reaction rate constant of 1.1662 day-1 to 1.5623 day-1.

Abstract

PT. XYZ uses a reverse osmosis (RO) system in demin water treatment. One of the weaknesses of the RO system is the formation of fouling on the membrane, which can reduce the performance of the membrane, so it is necessary to carry out an appropriate cleaning process to remove deposits on the surface of the membrane, restore the separation characteristics, and restore the normal capacity of the system. This research aims to examine the effect of cleaning on the performance of reverse osmosis membranes in the PT. XYZ with requirements for reverse osmosis membrane type FILMTEC BW30–400 IG. The research was conducted for 8 weeks by collecting data on the reverse osmosis control box and control room in the form of product flow rate, feed conductivity, and product conductivity. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the effect of cleaning on membrane performance can only extend the life of the membrane and cannot meet the specifications for the working parameters of the reverse osmosis membrane, which can be seen in the salt rejection, salt passage, and flux values obtained in this study.

Abstract

Industrial wastewater generated by nickel mining has a high content of heavy metals, one of which is Chromium Hexavalent or Cr(VI) metal. Commonly used methods in reducing Cr(VI) metal concentration are coagulation and adsorption. This method is the most economical, simple and highly efficient method. This research uses the coagulation - adsorption integration system method, which is a combination of coagulation and adsorption methods in stages and uses the same wastewater. The purpose of this research is to see the performance of alum, FeSO4 and a combination of alum: FeSO4 as coagulant and fly ash as adsorbent in the removal of Cr(VI) levels in wastewater samples. Also, the efficiency of using the coagulation - adsorption integration system in the removal of heavy metal levels. The adsorption capacity value of this process can also be calculated. The resulting data were then evaluated using a spectrophotometer visible to assess the reduction of Cr(VI) concentration in wastewater. Based on the experiment, alum type coagulant with a waste and coagulant composition ratio of 2:3 and a stirring time of 60 minutes can reduce Cr(VI) levels to 14.18 mg/L from 100 mg/L. The addition of the adsorption process using fly ash helped reduce the concentration of heavy metal Cr(VI) to 12.15 mg/L and the highest efficiency value was 87.9%, and the adsorption capacity value was 0.087 mg/gram.

Abstract

Sorghum plants contain bioactive compounds such as phenolic compounds and proanthocyanidins. The presence of these compounds is extremely valuable for use as antioxidants in health care. This study aims to determine the total phenolic content, total proanthocyanidin content, and antioxidant activity of purified red sorghum extract using the ultrafiltration membrane method with different transmembrane pressure. At pressures of 8, 9, and 10 Bar, an ultrafiltration process was carried out using a polyethersulfone (PES) membrane with a molecular weight cut-off size of 10 kDa. The total phenolic content was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu method and identified using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at 760 nm. Total proanthocyanidin content was measured using the acid-butanol method and then analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at 550 nm. The DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method will be used to determine the antioxidant activity of purified red sorghum extract. The results of the measurements show that the higher the transmembrane pressure, the higher the concentration of phenolic and proanthocyanidins content, and that the purified red sorghum extract has a high antioxidant value (IC50 = 66.852 ppm).

Abstract

A technique for reducing the contamination of heavy metals in wastewater is the coagulationflocculation method. The approach has various advantages, including a simple process, readilyavailable chemicals, inexpensive equipment costs, and an excellent capacity to remove pollutants. The goal of this research is to see how well Mn-containing wastewater can be reduced using alum and calcium hydroxide as coagulants. The adsorption capacity of the coagulant combination in the floc generation phase of the coagulation-flocculation process can also be calculated. The technique used is coagulation-flocculation, with modifications made to the coagulant content and stirring duration. The data was then evaluated using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) to assess the decrease Mn concentration in wastewater. According to the experiments, the combination of alum and calcium hydroxide coagulants with a mass composition ratio of alum:calcium hydroxide (150 mg:50 mg) and a stirring time of 15 minutes has the highest efficiency of 89.35% and is directly proportional to the adsorption capacity value of 446.75mg/gram.
