Abstract

Free Fatty Acids (FFA), which include unsaturated fatty acids like oleic and linoleic acid and saturated fatty acids like palmitic and stearic, are present in most oil compositions. The various negative impacts of FFA require these compounds to be eliminated.  This research aims to separate FFA using Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE) and determine the levels of FFA using acid-alkalimetric titration in corn oil and palm oil. FFA extraction was carried out for 4 minutes with a solvent ratio of 9,5 ml diethyl ether + 40 ml ethanol + 0,5 ml water. By adding 1M Na2SO4, re-extraction was carried out for 3 minutes. The results obtained were 0.95% FFA levels in corn oil and 1.26% FFA levels in palm oil. FFA levels of both oils are still below the SNI FFA percentage of 3%; besides that, it is found that the FFA levels in palm oil are higher than in corn oil

Abstract

This study presents the preparation of silica aerogel/MgO composites using bagasse ash as a silica source and MgCl₂·6H₂O as the MgO precursor. Sodium silicate was extracted from bagasse ash and converted into silicic acid through ion-exchange treatment. Silica aerogel formation was achieved through gelation, followed by surface modification using TMCS and HMDS. Magnesium oxide was incorporated via co-precipitation with MgCl₂·6H₂O and subsequently stabilized through calcination. The composites were characterized using FTIR, XRD, and BET–BJH analyses. XRD results revealed a hybrid amorphous–crystalline structure, with silica predominantly in the amorphous phase and MgO in the crystalline phase. BET analysis showed a pore volume of 0.50 cm³/g and a specific surface area of 121.99 m²/g, while the pore-size distribution confirmed its mesoporous nature. FTIR spectra indicated the presence of functional groups corresponding to Si–O–Si, Si–C, C–H, and Mg–O, confirming the successful integration of MgO into the silica aerogel framework. These findings demonstrate the successful preparation of silica aerogel/MgO composites from bagasse ash under ambient-pressure drying conditions.
