Abstract

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is the largest liquid waste from crude palm oil production. This liquid waste still contains a lot of chemical components, solid deposits, and oil which is dangerous if released directly into the environment. The residual oil and grease components contained in POME can be further extracted and converted into fuel fractions. This study investigates the conversion of residual oil from POME into fuel fractions through hydrocracking. A ZrO2/Sarulla natural zeolite (SNZ) catalyst was used, characterized by a particle size of 1-1.5 µm, a surface area of 73.3 m2/g, a pore volume of 0.161 cc/g, and a pore diameter of 3.35 nm. The effect of catalyst mass was studied, with the total conversion increasing to a certain extent with increasing catalyst mass, however, an increase in coke formation decreased the product yield. The highest gasoline fraction selectivity was obtained with a catalyst mass of 0.09 wt% (~42%), while the kerosene fraction was most obtained with a catalyst mass of 0.15 wt% (~40%). The liquid product with a catalyst mass of 0.15 wt% had the highest HHV of 44.2 MJ/kg, a 12% increase from the HHV of POME oil residue (39.4 MJ/kg). The results demonstrate the potential of using residual oil from POME as a source for fuel production and the use of natural zeolite-based catalysts as hydrocracking catalysts.Keywords: Biofuel; Hydrocracking; Natural zeolite; Oil extracted; Palm oil mill effluent

Abstract

The lignocellulosic component contained in palm frond waste has potential as an alternative fuel by converting it into bio-oil through a pyrolysis process. However, bio-oil has poor quality when compared to conventional fuels. Therefore, the Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) process has been widely developed as a promising way to improve the poor physicochemical properties of bio-oil. In this study, a bimetallic CuO-ZnO catalyst loaded on mordenite zeolite was used as a catalyst for HDO bio-oil from palm fronds. Optimization efforts were made on several parameters that affect the reaction including temperature, catalyst mass, and reaction time. This study aims to improve the quality of bio-oil and determine the effect of variations in reaction parameters on the physicochemical properties of upgraded bio-oil. The optimum condition found was the HDO process with a catalyst mass of 3.5 wt% at 325 °C for 120 min. The physicochemical properties of bio-oil after the upgrading process were successfully improved from those of raw bio-oil. The result is a decrease in water content and total acid number, an increase in C and H content accompanied by a reduction in oxygen content with a degree of deoxygenation reaching 72.9%, and an increase in higher heating value (HHV).

Abstract

Sansevieria (Sansevieria trifasciata) fibers and water hyacinth (Eichhornia Crassipes) fibers as natural fiber producers with good quality have good potential to be developed. This study aims to examine the production and characteristics of composites made from sansevieria fiber and water hyacinth fiber with a polyester matrix through the employment of the hand lay up method. This composite uses variations in the composition of the fiber mixture by soaking 5% NaOH for 2 hours at room temperature, for the resulting composite material. The resulting composite material is then subjected to a bending test to determine its mechanical properties, utilizing the ASTM D638 test standard. Based on the conducted research, the most favorable outcomes in terms of bending test results and modulus of elasticity are observed with a 10% incorporation of sansevieria fiber, yielding an average of 5.520 MPa for bending test and an elastic modulus of 7.444 MPa. Alternatively, when combining both fibers, the optimal mixture consists of 20% sansevieria fiber and 20% eceng gondok fiber, resulting in an average bending test value of 7.503 MPa and a modulus of elasticity of 7.873 MPa.
