Abstract

Bentonite and carbon bagasse adsorbents are used to study the effects of temperature and absorption time on the physico-chemical properties of refined used cooking oil. Any extended use of outdated cooking oil will have an impact on the body's health since it causes fat cells to accumulate in various vital organs. Used cooking oil can be cleaned by using adsorbents like bentonite, bagasse, and activated carbon. This study investigated the effects of temperature and adsorption period on the purification results of used cooking oil using activated carbon adsorbents comprised of bagasse and bentonite. In this study, a factorial group randomised design was used. First, there is a 1:1 adsorbent to substrate ratio. Secondly, there are four adsorption temperature levels: 30°C, 60°C, 90°C, and 120°C. The third factor is adsorption time, which are: 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. Counting the quantity of acids, peroxides, and free fatty acids was one method of data analysis. The best results are obtained when used cooking oil is refined using activated carbon, bagasse, and bentonite at 120°C for 90 minutes of adsorption. The result is an acid number of 0.913, a peroxide number of 2.532, and a free fatty acid content of 0.459%.

Abstract

Nanotechnology has become a significant focus of research in efforts to address various challenges across multiple fields, including the synthesis of metal nanoparticles using natural bioreductors. This study explores the use of basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum) as a natural bioreductor for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag). The extract from basil leaves is rich in flavonoids, which serve as reducing agents in the green synthesis process of silver nanoparticles. The research methods include the preparation of basil leaves, extraction of simplicia, phytochemical analysis, and testing the bioreduction of Ag+ ions. The results indicate that the addition of basil leaf extract effectively reduces Ag+ ions to Ag⁰, marked by a color change in the solution to yellow-green within 60 minutes. The uniqueness of this study lies in utilizing basil leaves as an environmentally friendly bioreductor in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. These findings have broad potential applications in catalysis, sensing technologies, and cosmetics.

Abstract

The reduction of FFA levels in used cooking oil as a biodiesel raw material is generally done by the esterification process. Another method that can be used to reduce FFA levels is through the adsorption method. The adsorbent used is bottom ash waste. This study aims to determine the effect of bottom ash adsorbent variation and determine the best variation based on Taguchi analysis. This research uses Taguchi data processing technique with 2 factors and 3 levels. The first factor is adsorbent mass with variations (5% m/v, 10% m/v, and 15% m/v). The second factor is the length of adsorption time with variations (30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes). The testing parameters included FFA content, acid number, density, and viscosity. The results of this study were analyzed using the Taguchi method which shows the variation of adsorbent mass and time for FFA content is the variation of 5% m/v adsorbent mass and 30 minutes adsorption time which can reduce FFA by 35.2%, with an acid number value of 3.029 mg KOH/g, density of 0.903 g/cm3 and viscosity of 4.463 sCt in samples that successfully reduced the FFA value by 35.2%.

Abstract

Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) is one of the modern technologies that offer advantages in terms of time and efficiency compared to conventional methods. However, few studies still examine the effect of mass variation on the yield of essential oil produced through the MAE method. This study aims to evaluate the effect of variation in the mass of pepper leaves on the yield of essential oil obtained by the MAE method. This study also aims to determine the optimum mass that gives the highest yield. The extraction was carried out at a microwave power of 600 Watts, a temperature of 105 ºC for 2 hours, using water as a solvent for various pepper leaf masses. The effect of material mass variation on essential oil yield was analyzed and compared. The results showed that the essential oils obtained had a specific gravity of 0.8717, a refractive index of 1.485 Brix, and an acid number of 0.9211 mg/g, respectively. Furthermore, the results also obtained the optimum mass of pepper leaf material at 300 grams with a yield of 0.27%. We believe this study can be a reference for selecting the best mass of material from pepper leaves for essential oil production for further research.

Abstract

Waste cooking oil is household waste that can pollute the environment and damage aquatic ecosystems if not properly treated. In Indonesia, its production reaches 6.46–9.72 million kiloliters per year. To address this issue, effective adsorbent materials such as cellulose aerogels are needed. This study utilizes teak sawdust waste as a cellulose source for aerogel production. The delignification process using NaOH yields cellulose pulp, which is then converted into cellulose aerogel. This cellulose aerogel was tested for its adsorptivity towards waste cooking oil, showing the highest absorption capacity at 100°C delignification variation, amounting to 0.27 grams of waste cooking oil per gram of cellulose aerogel with 76.15% of the waste cooking oil adsorbed. TGA analysis confirmed that the aerogel has higher thermal stability compared to the original teak sawdust waste, and SEM analysis revealed the porous structure of the aerogel supporting its adsorptive capacity. The results show that cellulose aerogel from teak sawdust waste is effective in absorbing waste cooking oil and has great potential as an environmentally friendly solution for water pollution, supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Number 6 on clean water and sanitation.

Abstract

Korosi merupakan salah satu fenomena penurunan kualitas baja secara bertahap karena adanya reaksi dengan lingkungan. Hal ini dapat berakibat fatal karena dapat mengurangi umur serta kekuatan dari suatu bangunan konstruksi. Carbon steel merupakan material pada rangka konstruksi yang sering digunakan namun memiliki kelemahan mudah terkorosi. Pemanfaatan inhibitor merupakan salah satu cara yang paling efektif untuk mengendalikan laju korosi. Salah satu senyawa yang dapat digunakan untuk menurunkan laju korosi adalah flavonoid dan tanin yang dapat diperoleh dari kulit bawang merah (KBM) dan daun belimbing wuluh (DBW). Pemanfaatan KBM dan DBW sebagai inhibitor alami atau Green Corrosion Inhibitor masih jarang dilakukan pada reaksi korosi Carbon Steel. Pada studi ini menggunakan metode ekstraksi maserasi dengan menggunakan pelarut etanol 70% untuk mendapatkan ekstrak dari serbuk KBM dan DBW serta metode selisih penurunan berat untuk mengetahui laju korosi pada pelat baja karbon. Variasi fraksi massa serbuk KBM dan DBW masing-masing adalah 1,24%; 2,48%; dan 3,72% (w/w). Sampel baja karbon direndam selama 72 jam dan kemudian dilakukan uji korosi dengan mengalirkan air laut selama 30 hari pada sampel. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan ekstrak KBM dan DBW dapat memperlambat laju korosi sehingga berpotensi untuk dimanfaatkan sebagai Green Corrosion Inhibitor.

Abstract

A Hybrid System Based on Solar Panels and LPG offers an alternative energy solution that combines renewable solar energy with LPG for improved efficiency and reliability. Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity, which can be used immediately or stored in batteries for later use, such as at night or during cloudy weather. Solar energy is eco-friendly, renewable, and widely available. However, when solar energy is insufficient, LPG is used as a backup fuel for a generator to ensure continuous power supply. Although not renewable, LPG is cleaner than other fossil fuels like coal or oil. The hybrid system's advantage lies in its efficiency, as solar panels reduce LPG consumption, while LPG ensures uninterrupted power. This combination makes the system more reliable by providing energy even when one source is unavailable. Despite the use of LPG, this system is more environmentally friendly than relying solely on fossil fuels, as it reduces the overall need for LPG. Keywords: Solar Cells, LPG, Hybrid
