Abstract

This research develops a biofertilizer production method using pineapple peel waste and elephant grass ash as raw materials. Pineapple peel contains nutrients that can improve soil fertility, while elephant grass, commonly used as livestock feed, has high silica content beneficial to the soil when used as fertilizer. The research aimed to produce a biofertilizer and examine the effects of material weight and fermentation duration on the levels of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K), assessing whether the results meet Indonesian National Standard (SNI) fertilizer requirements. The fermentation process lasted approximately 35 days. The fermented biofertilizer was analyzed using the Micro Kjeldahl method for Nitrogen, UV-Vis Spectrophotometry for Phosphorus, and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) for Potassium. The results showed the highest concentrations of Nitrogen (2.98%), Phosphorus (2.43%), and Potassium (3.39%) were obtained using 40 grams of elephant grass ash and 35 days of fermentation. The analysis indicated that increasing the amount of elephant grass ash and the fermentation duration resulted in higher N, P, and K levels. These findings align with SNI fertilizer standards, highlighting the potential of using sustainable and easily accessible materials to enhance organic fertilizer production efficiency.

Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of cellulose acetate were carried out using cellulose derived from corn stalks. Cellulose acetate was obtained through the esterification of cellulose, a natural biopolymer commonly sourced from wood or plant fibers. During the acetylation stage, the hydroxyl groups in cellulose were replaced with acetate groups from acetic anhydride. The acetylation process involved varying the volume of glacial acetic acid (CH₃COOH) at 25, 35, 45, 55, and 65 milliliters and reaction times of 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, and 2 hours, using 0.5 milliliters of 98 percent sulfuric acid as a catalyst. Cellulose was first extracted by delignification using 17.5 percent sodium hydroxide, followed by bleaching with 4 percent sodium hydroxide and 4 percent hydrogen peroxide. The results showed that increasing the volume of acetic acid led to an acetyl content of up to 40.4 percent and a degree of substitution of 2.5. Extension of the acetylation time to 1.5 hours also increased the yield of cellulose acetate to a maximum of 70.2631 percent before decreasing at longer durations. These optimal results, including 70.2631 percent yield, 40.4 percent acetyl content, and a degree of substitution of 2.5, were achieved with 65 milliliters of acetic acid and 1.5 hours of acetylation. FTIR analysis confirmed successful acetylation by identifying hydroxyl (O–H), carbonyl (C=O), and ester (C–O) functional groups.
