Abstract

Clay is an abundant material that is widely used as an adsorbent in pristine or pillared form. Pillared clays feature better properties, e.g. higher specific surface area, thus they can adsorb a higher quantity of adsorbates compared to pristine material. In this work, a preparation of pillared clay using Indonesian natural bentonite and its potential for ethylene removal are presented. The novelty is that a pillaring agent of cobalt (mixed with aluminum) was used, which not only served as a pillar but also as an active metal adsorbent for ethylene. Natural bentonite was pillared using Al (NO3)3.9H2O and Co (NO3)2.6H2O. The resulting material was then calcined at 250 °C. The final material was characterized by N2-sorption analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The cobalt to aluminum ratios used were 1:9, 1:3, 1:1, 1:1/3, and 1:0. From characterization, the Co-Al pillared bentonite featured a specific surface area of up to 114 m2/g (pristine bentonite = 42 m2/g). In the adsorption test, an enhanced ethylene uptake of up to 6 times (at ambient temperature) compared to pristine bentonite was obtained. Thus, the results highlight the potential of cobalt oxide/pillared clay as ethylene scavenger.

Abstract

Metana merupakan sumber energi alternatif yang sangat potensial dan melimpah serta  menghasilkan emisi CO2 yang lebih rendah ketika digunakan sebagai bahan bakar karena kandungan C dalam molekul metana jauh lebih kecil dari kandungan H nya. Selain ada dalam bentuk gas, metana di alam juga bisa berada dalam bentuk metana hidrat. Setiap  volume metana hidrat mengandung sebanyak 164 volume gas metana dalam keadaan standar (STP). Proses terbentuknya metana hidrat di alam dapat diadopsi sebagai metode penyimpanan gas metana. Pada penelitian ini akan dilakukan percobaan pembentukan metana hidrat pada karbon mesopori dengan jumlah air yang bervariasi untuk mengetahui kandungan air optimum untuk membentuk metana hidrat secara efektif. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengadsorpsi gas metana pada karbon berpori yang basah dengan metode static volumetric. Untuk mengetahui rasio yang optimum terhadap proses terbentuknya metana hidrat, maka pada penelitian ini dilakukan percobaan dengan rasio berat air dibandingkan karbon berpori 0,5 ; 1 ; 1,5 ; 2. Sistem adsorpsi dikondisikan pada suhu 275 K dengan maksud untuk menghindari terbentuknya es (sistem dikondisikan diatas titik beku air). Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa rasio air : karbon mesopori yang memberikan jumlah metana hidrat yang paling besar adalah pada R = 1

Abstract

Red ginger oleoresin contains components that can be used as antioxidants. Release kinetics studies are used to provide doses to achieve the desired drug concentration. The purpose of this study was to determine the release kinetics of red ginger oleoresin microcapsules based on changes in chitosan concentration and volume of cross-linker and determine the diffusion coefficient of red ginger oleoresin through microcapsule walls. Red ginger oleoresin microcapsules were prepared from a mixture of red ginger oleoresin in chitosan solution and stirred to form an emulsion. After that, it was added to corn oil and stirred again to form a second emulsion. Glutaraldehyde saturated toluene was added dropwise after finished added the 25% glutaraldehyde solution and remains stirred for 2 hours. Red ginger oleoresin microcapsules were separated and washed with petroleum ether and hexane, then dried in an oven. Microcapsules inserted in the release medium (simulated intestinal fluid) without enzymes, and then the samples were analyzed using a UV-vis spectrophotometer to determine the absorbance. The release kinetics models used were zero order, first order, Higuchi, Korsmeyer-Peppas, and Hixon-Crowell. The highest correlation coefficient (R2) was obtained from the Korsmeyer-Peppas release kinetics model, R2 = 0.73-0.85 with the value of n = 0.39-0.41. Based on the n value, the release mechanism of red ginger oleoresin microcapsules was Fickian diffusion. The diffusion coefficients obtained were 2,807 x 10-13 - 3,675 x 10-13 cm2 /sec.

Abstract

Carrageenan recovery process was developed for Eucheuma cottonii by investigating the effects of distilled water, KOH (0.1-0.5 N) and NaOH (0.1-1.0 N) as the solvent on carrageenan yield and gel properties. Extraction process was carried out with a constant ratio of seaweed weight to solvent volume (1: 50; g/mL) at 80oC.  A certain amount of the liquid sample was withdrawn at regular interval time for analysis. Filtrate was separated from residue by pouring ethanol. The precipitated carrageenans were collected and oven dried at 50-60oC to a constant weight. The extraction product was found to have virtually identical infrared spectra to the reference samples of kappa-carrageenan. Distilled water was the most efficient solvent with regard to yield but certainly not gel strength. Increasing KOH concentration led to carrageenan containing less sulfate content. In extraction process using alkali, the ion exchange occurred between cation from alkali solution and anion from sulphate in the seaweed. Compared with cation of sodium, the cation of potassium was able to form helixes aggregation indicated by the higher gel strength value. Alkali concentrations affected the gel strength of the extracted carrageenan significantly.ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan proses ekstraksi karagenan dari rumput laut Eucheuma cottonii dengan mempelajari pengaruh jenis pelarut pada tahap ekstraksi, yaitu air suling, KOH, dan NaOH terhadap rendemen dan sifat gel karagenan.  Ekstraksi dilakukan dengan perbandingan bobot rumput laut – volume pelarut dijaga tetap yaitu 1:50 g/mL pada 80oC. Cuplikan diambil setiap interval waktu tertentu untuk dianalisis. Karagenan dalam filtrat diendapkan dengan etanol dan serat yang dihasilkan dikeringkan sampai bobot konstan. Spektrum infra merah menunjukkan bahwa karagenan yang dihasilkan identik dengan jenis kappa. Air suling merupakan pelarut yang efisien untuk mendapatkan rendemen yang tinggi, tetapi kekuatan gel karagenan yang dihasilkan rendah. Konsentrasi KOH semakin tinggi akan menghasilkan karagenan dengan kadar sulfat semakin rendah dan kekuatan gel meningkat.   Pada tahap ekstraksi menggunakan alkali, terjadi peristiwa pertukaran ion antara kation dalam pelarut dengan ion sulfat dalam rumput laut. Dibandingkan dengan kation Na, kation K mampu membentuk agregasi heliks yang terindikasi berdasarkan kekuatan gel yang lebih kuat.

Abstract

Wastewater in the tannery industry is the main waste due to the use of a great amount of water and chemical substances in the process. Wastewater which contains chromium from the tanning materials potentially causes physical and chemical changes in the environment. Chromium is harmful heavy metal which is non-degradable and able to cause danger towards environment and human health. Therefore, it is important to employ treatments before discharging the wastewater to the environment. One of the known methods to reduce the content of heavy metal is precipitation using sodium hydroxide. However, precipitation alone can not meet the strict quality standard for tannery industrial wastewater. Adsorption using bagasse fly ash (BFA) is a key promising tertiary method to achieve the high treatment standard. BFA is a low cost adsorbent since it is prepared from solid waste from sugar industry. This research aims to study optimum operating condition of the implementation of a combination of precipitation and adsorption methods for reducing chromium (III) in the tannery industrial wastewater.Initially, this study used synthetic waste to obtain optimum conditions for adsorption method. The optimum conditions were then tested using real waste from tannery industry. Synthethic waste used in this process was Cr(NO3)3.9H2O. Adsorption process used both activated BFA as well as raw (un-activated) BFA. Concentration of crom (III) in the filtrate was determined by AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrocopy). Parameters of the study were pH of the precipitation, and pH of the adsorption.Results of this study showed that the optimum pH to chrom (III) concentration reduction is achieved from the combination of precipitation at pH of 8 and adsorption at pH of 5. The effectiveness of the concentration reduction of chromium using combination of both of these methods managed to lower the concentration of chromium from initial concentration of 544 mg/l to 0,18 mg/l (using activated BFA), with the effectiveness of chromium reduction 99.97%. This result complies with the standard based on Yogyakarta Governor's decree number 7/2010 about wastewater quality standard for wet blue leather industrial activities, which is 0,4 mg/l.

Abstract

The production of batik produces wastewater which contains mixture of complex organic macromolecules. In this study, a sequential process of electrocoagulation-electrooxidation (EC-EO) using electrodes of aluminium-graphite and PbO2-graphite was proposed as an alternative method for treating wastewater of naphthol from batik dyeing process. The effects of parameter of current density of in the range of 3.7-7.90 mA/cm2, and the effect of electrical voltage to the decrease of color intensity. The electrocoagulation-electrooxidation method was carried out in a batch reactor with a capacity of 1.3 L, where the first 20 minutes is the electrocoagulation process and the next 100 minutes is the electrooxidation process. The samples were drawn at 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 minutes and their color intensity was analyzed using spectrophotometric method. The results showed that the highest decreased value was at 99,78% at the current density (7,53 mA/cm2) during 120 minutes with electricity consumption 14,40 kWh/m3. The higher the density of the current, the greater the decrease value of color intensity in the liquid naphthol waste.  ABSTRAKProduksi kain batik menghasilkan air limbah yang mengandung campuran makromolekul organik kompleks dengan warna pekat.

Efek dari parameter berupa kerapatan arus (3,77, 5,65, 7,53 dan 7,90 mA/cm2) terhadap penurunan intensitas warna dipelajari dalam penelitian ini. Metode kombinasi ini dilakukan dalam satu reaktor batch dengan kapasitas 1,3 L, dimana 20 menit awal adalah proses elektrokoagulasi dan 100 menit berikutnya adalah proses elektrooksidasi.

Abstract

A B S T R A C TDelignification is a fundamental step in bio-refinery for lignocellulose feedstock processing. Hydrotropic delignification is considered as a promising alternative compared to other conventional delignification processes due to the use of mild chemicals. In this paper, a quantitative description of hydrotropic delignification for a cylindrical biomass particle is presented by using fundamental concepts of chemical kinetics and transport processes. The development of hydrotropic delignification model was based on following assumptions: i) lignin in the biomass is immobile, ii) delignification is considered as a simultaneous process which involves intra-particle diffusion of hydrotropic agent followed by second order reaction for lignin and hydrotropic chemical, as well as intra-particle product diffusion. Finite difference approximation was applied to solve the resulting partial and ordinary differential equations. The simulation results of the proposed model may describe the concentration profiles of lignin, hydrotropic agent and soluble product distributions in a cylindrical solid particle as a function of radial position and time. In addition, the model could also predict the concentration of hydrotropic agent and soluble product in the liquid phase as well as the yield and conversion as a function of time. A local sensitivity analysis method using one factor at a time (OFAT), has been applied to investigate the influence of particle size and hydrotropic agent concentration to the yield and conversion of the hydrotropic delignification model. Validation of the proposed model was conducted by comparing the numerical results with an analytical solution for a simple case diffusion in cylinder with constant surface concentration and in the absence of chemical reaction. The validation result showed that the hydrotropic delignification model was in good agreement with the analytical solution.Keywords: cylindrical particle; delignification; hydrotropic; modelling; simulation A B S T R A KDelignifikasi merupakan tahap penting dalam proses biorefineri biomassa berlignoselulosa.
