Abstract

This research focuses on the use of tannin components in tamarind seed coats as a mordant and natural dye in cotton fabrics. Tannins were extracted from the tamarind seed coat by boiling method and then the tannin content was determined. The tannin extract was then used as a natural mordant with the addition of metallic copper sulfate (CuSO4) mordant. Tannin extract is also used as a dye on fabrics with the addition of sodium sulfate (NaSO4). The color strength of the tannins in the fabric was analyzed using a spectrophotometer from the rinse water. The results showed that the cloth that had been given the mordant had a stronger color strength than the cloth without the mordant. The use of mordant was varied at concentrations of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25%-owf. The results of the analysis showed the most optimum tannin concentration at 15%-owf. The concentration of tannin used in the coloring process was also varied at concentrations of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25%-owf. The results of the analysis show that the concentration of tannin used in the dye does not affect the strength of the color, but only affects the brightness of this color.

Abstract

This research investigated the performance of hematite-gamma alumina (Fe2O3/γ-Al2O3) catalyst in biodiesel production from palm oil. A full factorial experimental design was utilized to analyze the effect of hematite content, catalyst loading, and methanol-to-oil ratio on catalyst performance. From the experiment, biodiesel in the range of 73.6 to 87.6% FAME content was obtained. It was concluded that the catalyst composition, the methanol-to-oil ratio, and the catalyst loading have a significant effect on the FAME content of the biodiesel. Hematite has strong affinity for fatty acids, so a larger hematite surface area will result in a higher fatty acid absorption capacity. The addition of excess methanol can reduce the contact inhibition between the reactants and the active site of the catalyst, thereby increasing the conversion rate of the reaction. Moreover, a higher amount of catalyst loading can result in an increase in the FAME content when accompanied by an increase in the hematite content of the catalyst.
