Abstract

Crystal violet is a dye that has many uses, but its waste can be harmful to humans and the environment. Adsorption is the most useful method for removing crystal violet waste compared to other separation methods because of its efficiency and viability. Cassava peel is a material that has potential to be an adsorbent. Cassava peel is suitable as an adsorbent because of its high cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin content. In carrying out adsorption, getting the most appropriate isotherm model is important for predicting the adsorption parameters and the adsorbent system. This study aims to obtain an adsorption isotherm model that is the most suitable for the adsorption of crystal violet by cassava peel biosorbent with high accuracy and to obtain a combined model of the adsorption isotherm model that is the most suitable with the mass balance equation to predict removal efficiency. This research was conducted using secondary data using MATLAB as a supporting tool to perform a non-linear regression and Newton-Raphson iteration. In this research, we conclude that Sips model is the most suitable model with qms = 374,3 mg/g and 0,5933 site heterogeneity. For predict adsorbent mass ratio: adsorbate volume minimum ratio but removal efficiency stay at ≥ 90%, we obtain a correlation factor: m/V = -1.10-11Co4 + 2.10-8Co3 – 2.10-5Co2 + 0.015Co + 1.2686.

Abstract

Biobriquette is a solid fuel derived from raw materials that can be renewed continuously because it is made from a mixture of biomass such as wood, twigs, leaves, grass, straw and other agricultural wastes. The research aims to examine the effect of variations in the composition of raw materials and particle sizes were 50 mesh, 70 mesh, 100 mesh, and 120 mesh. This research was started by carrying out the pyrolysis process on the raw material with temperature 350 oC for sixty minutes, then the refined pyrolysis charcoal powder was mixed with starch adhesive 10% of the weight of the raw material which was then manually pressed cylindrical. The measurement results in this research were compared with quality parameters based on Indonesian National Standard (SNI), Japan, England, and America. The best result for this research is obtained at a ratio of rubber fruit shells and wood twigs 1:5 with a particle size of 100 mesh, that is with inherent moisture of 4.50%, ash content of 2.19%, volatile matter of 13.73%, density 2.2502 g/cm3, and caloric value 6,653.60 cal/g.

Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is biomaterial from bacterial fermentation that contain high purity of cellulose, but 90% of BC pellicles retained water from the fermentation process. In this study, BC was modified with glycerol immersion in different concentrations (0%; 2,5%; 5%; 7,5%; 10%). For wide application, water content on BC must be removed by drying. Various oven drying condition are temperature 80 °C and 120 °C and time 60 minutes. The physical and mechanical properties of the dried BC biofilm were determined including tensile strength and elasticity. BC biofilm bound was identified by FTIR and EDX. The results showed that glycerol concentration was able to increase biofilm elasticity from 3.46% to 27.743%. However, glycerol immersion above 7.5% caused a decrease in the tensile strength of BC biofilm. The drying variation of 120 °C produces the highest tensile strength of 7.161 MPa when soaked in 7.5% glycerol. The drying variation of 80 °C produced a biofilm with the best elasticity of 27.473%. The results of FTIR and EDX analysis confirmed that there were differences in the contents of the modified BC.

Abstract

The bio-oil from bagasse has poor physical characteristics, so it requires a combination with other materials, such as durian peel. This study aims to produce high-quality bio-oil from the best composition ratio of bagasse and durian peel. The study used variations of sugarcane bagasse and durian peel compositions (0:1; 1:0; 1:1; 2:1; 3:1) at a pyrolysis temperature of 400 °C for 5, 6, and 7 hours using an 83.1 L upright cylindrical reactor. The bio-oil with the best characteristics was found at a 1:1 ratio, with yields of 32.28%, 38.82%, and 40.8%, pH values of 2.7; 2.8; 2.9, and viscosities of 0.952 cSt, 0.928 cSt, and 0.908 cSt. The results show that adding durian peel improves the bio-oil characteristics.
