Abstract

Research on the extraction of ß-carotene has been carried out intensively in recent years, considering the wide application of ß-carotene compounds, especially in the pharmaceutical and health fields. In the health sector, βcarotene has antioxidant compounds that can neutralize unstable molecules called free radicals. When the number of free radicals is too high in the body, it can cause cell and tissue damage which is known as oxidative stress. So the consumption of β-carotene should be increased. Various technologies are used for the isolation of ß-carotene from raw materials, such as maceration, soxhlet, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and supercritical liquid extraction (SFE). This study uses the maceration method with the consideration that the energy used is relatively low and refers to the heat-resistant nature of β-carotene. The purpose of this study was to analyze the addition of co-solvent diethyl ether to acetone solvent to the value of the extraction rate constant (k). In this case, the addition of a co-solvent can help transport β-carotene to the solvent effectively by increasing the yield of β-carotene produced. Quantitative analysis was carried out using calculations based on mass balance, pseudo- second-order, and Peleg to then conclude which model is by the resulting data. The final yield of β-carotene was 34.395; 103.287 and 108.974 µg/g for diethyl ether, acetone, and a mixture of acetone with diethyl ether (24: 1) v/v respectively. The value of the extraction speed constant for each solvent diethyl ether, acetone, and a mixture of acetone with diethyl ether was 0.8913; 1.03975, and 2.0975 (minute-1) based on the Peleg model and 0.00738 for each solvent; 0.00828; 0.0141 (gram/mg.minute) based on the pseudo second-order model.

Abstract

Penelitian ekstraksi minyak ampas kopi dengan pengaruh perbedaan suhu bertujuan untuk mengetahui suhu yang paling efektif dan penentuan laju ekstrakis pada ekstraksi minyak kopi. Proses ekstraksi ampas kopi dengan bantuan gelombang ultrasonik menggunakan variasi suhu berturut-turut yaitu pada 30, 40 dan 50°C. Kadar minyak (ml) yang didapatkan pada suhu 30°C sebesar 0,8; 1; 1,05; 1,1 ml. Pada suhu 40°C sebesar 1,1; 1,2; 1,3; 1,5 ml. Pada suhu 50°C sebesar 1,3; 1,5; 1,6; 1,8 ml. Data tersebut didapatkan pada masing-masing waktu 30, 60, 90 dan 120 menit. Nilai konstanta (k) kecepatan ekstraksi pada penelitian ini ditentukan dengan menggunakan model pseudo second order dengan hasil sebesar 0,040124; 0,040334; 0,029179 (gram/g.sekon) untuk masing-masing suhu 30, 40 dan 50°C. Dari hasil perhitungan energi aktivasi yang dihasilkan sebesar 1,32442 J/mol.K.

Abstract

Biodiesel is one of the promising alternative fuels, environmentally friendly, and has no adverse effects on health. In this study, biodiesel production was carried out using the in situ transesterification method. The raw material used was mahogany seeds with variations in raw material mass of 10 grams and 20 grams. The catalyst used was KOH with methanol as the solvent and n-hexane as the co-solvent. In situ transesterification was performed at a reaction temperature of 65°C, stirring speed of 400 rpm, and a reaction time of 40 minutes. The research results show that the mass of the raw material affects the biodiesel yield. At a raw material mass of 10 grams, a yield of 70.09% was obtained, while for a raw material mass of 20 grams, the yield was 82.00%. The biodiesel analysis results show that the density values for the 10-gram raw material mass variation are 0.8512, and for the 20-gram raw material mass variation, it is 0.8556. The water content is 1.46%, and the free fatty acid (FFA) content is 0.76 mg KOH/gram for the 10-gram raw material mass variation and 0.675 mg KOH/gram for the 20-gram raw material mass variation. The results of the biodiesel characteristic tests meet the SNI 7182:2015 standard.

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.
