Abstract

This work discusses the treated spent Residue Fluid Catalytic Cracking (RFCC) catalysts using sulfuric or citric acids to examine the impact of acid treatment on the catalyst physicochemical properties and structural characteristics. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and Brunauer−Emmett−Teller-Barrett−Joyner−Halenda (BET-BJH) methods. The catalytsts were performed in a continuous fixed-bed reactor for catalytic cracking of palm oil. Changes of the catalyst characteristics and catalytic performance testing of the catalyst after the acid treatment for palm oil cracking process were discussed. It was found that the acid treatment on the spent RFCC catalyst can increase the surface area and pore volume of catalysts as well as the crystallinity. The closed pores in the spent RFCC are opened by acid treatment by eliminating heavy metals. Concerning to the catalytic performance, the acid-treated catalysts had better performance than the non-treated catalyst, which could increase selectivity of the kerosene-diesel range fraction from 47.89% to 55.41%. It was interested, since the non-treated catalyst could not produce gasoline fraction, while the acid-treated catalsysts could produce gasoline fraction at selectivity range of 0.57 – 0.84%. It was suggested that both sulfuric or citric acids treatment could increase the cracking performance of spent RFCC catalyst by shifting the product to lower hydrocarbons.

Abstract

This research investigates the performance comparison between homogeneous (NaOH) and heterogeneous (CaO) catalyst in biodiesel production from waste cooking oil, specifically focusing on their application as fuel for portable stoves. The study examines the effects of catalyst type with NaOH concentrations of 1%, 2%, and 3%, and CaO concentrations of 4% and 6%, along with methanol-to-oil molar ratios (1:6 and 1:12) on biodiesel yield, product color, and flame characteristics. Results show that NaOH catalyst achieved higher yields (92.30%) at 3% concentration with a 1:6 methanol-to-oil ratio, while CaO catalyst reached maximum yields of 42.00% at 6% concentration with a 1:12 ratio. NaOH-catalyzed biodiesel consistently produced clear yellow coloration, whereas CaO-catalyzed biodiesel showed varying clarity depending on process conditions. In portable stove applications, NaOH-catalyzed biodiesel demonstrated superior performance with faster combustion rates (0.0607 ml/second) and blue flames, compared to CaO-catalyzed biodiesel's slower combustion (0.0412 ml/second) and yellowish-red flames.

Abstract

Kesuburan tanah yang menurun akibat penggunaan pupuk kimia secara berlebihan menjadi tantangan serius bagi petani di RT 10 dan 11 Kelurahan Tahtul Yaman, Kecamatan Pelayangan, Kota Jambi. Padahal, wilayah ini memiliki potensi besar berupa limbah organik rumah tangga dan limbah pertanian yang belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal sebagai bahan baku pupuk kompos. Urgensi kegiatan ini terletak pada perlunya solusi berkelanjutan yang ramah lingkungan dan ekonomis dalam pengelolaan kesuburan tanah. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat mengenai pembuatan serta pemanfaatan pupuk kompos sebagai alternatif pengganti pupuk kimia. Metode yang digunakan mencakup survei lapangan, sosialisasi materi, praktik langsung pembuatan pupuk kompos, dan diskusi partisipatif, yang dilaksanakan pada 19 Agustus 2024 dan melibatkan 20 warga. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam pemahaman masyarakat tentang manfaat dan teknik pembuatan pupuk kompos, serta terbentuknya kelompok kerja lokal sebagai bentuk keberlanjutan program. Selain itu, kegiatan ini dapat menunjukkan bahwa edukasi teknis yang terintegrasi dengan praktik langsung dan pendekatan partisipatif mampu memberdayakan masyarakat dalam mengelola limbah organik dan meningkatkan kesuburan tanah secara berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Polypropylene (PP) membranes exhibit advantageous characteristics for filtration processes, including chemical resistance, thermal stability, hydrophobicity, low cost, and mechanical durability, making them well-suited for long-term applications in water treatment, particularly for removing organic compounds. This study aims to evaluate the performance of hollow fiber PP membranes in the ultrafiltration of humic acid solutions, serving as a model organic contaminant. The experimental setup involved filtering a 15 mg/L humic acid solution in demineralized water at 1 bar for 120 minutes. Performance evaluation focused on three parameters: pure water flux, humic acid permeate flux, and rejection efficiency. The initial pure water flux reached 72 L/m²·h, decreasing to approximately 57 L/m²·h within the first 20 minutes, indicating membrane compaction. The humic acid permeate flux declined from 42 to 33 L/m²·h, attributed to fouling caused by physical and chemical interactions between humic acid and the PP membrane surface. Rejection efficiency dropped from an initial 90% to 75% by the end of the process. The observed performance degradation was linked to adsorption, pore blocking, and concentration polarization. Despite their structural advantages, PP membranes are prone to organic fouling; therefore, surface modification and feedwater pretreatment are recommended to optimize long-term performance.

Abstract

This study implemented project-based learning in a bioenergy engineering course at the Pondok Meja Campus, Universitas Jambi, involving 17 chemical engineering students during the first semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. Conducted over 13 weeks, the project involved biodiesel production from waste cooking oil using NaOH and CaO catalysts, followed by fuel application in a portable stove. The highest biodiesel yield was 92.3% (3% NaOH, 1:6 oil-to-methanol) and 42.0% (6% CaO, 1:12). The density ranged from 0.87 to 0.89 g/cm³, with stove fuel consumption rates of 0.0607 ml/s (NaOH) and 0.0412 ml/s (CaO). Evaluation involved class participation, lab performance, product presentation, and final reporting, yielding an overall project score of 87/100. Student feedback showed high agreement (mean 4.45/5) in teamwork, problem solving, critical thinking, time management, and proactiveness, supported by lecturer assessments (13.1/15). Challenges included equipment limitations and time constraints, yet all groups completed the project on time. This hands-on approach effectively achieved subject-specific and transferable skills, fostering engineering competence and readiness for real-world bioenergy challenges.

Abstract

Peat water is characterized by high acidity, turbidity, and poor sensory qualities, which limit its usability. This study evaluated the effectiveness of thermally activated coffee waste adsorbent (CWA) for peat water treatment. CWA was prepared by heating coffee waste at 250°C, followed by washing and drying at 60°C. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted using 1–3 g of CWA in 200 mL of peat water at 30°C, stirred at 150 rpm for 30 minutes. The results revealed significant improvements in water quality: pH increased from 3.85 to 4.62; turbidity was reduced by 99.37% (from 75 to 0.47 NTU); conductivity decreased by 30.7% (from 424 to 294 ?S/cm); and total dissolved solids (TDS) dropped by 93.3% (from 208 to 14 ppm). The Langmuir isotherm model (R² = 0.7297) provided a better fit than the Freundlich model (R² = 0.5845), indicating monolayer adsorption behavior with a maximum capacity of 0.1634 mg/g and a favorable separation factor (RL = 0.0057). Sensory evaluation confirmed enhanced color and odor. These findings support the use of CWA as a sustainable and low-cost adsorbent for improving peat water quality.
