Abstract

One of the problems the aircraft industry faces is equipment that has decreased performance in the period before planning. The solution to this condition is that a material that has hard properties and is corrosion-resistant is needed. Aluminium is a metal that is applied as equipment in the industry because it has the characteristics of being light, strong, corrosion resistant and easy to shape, but has properties that are easy to deform, have low hardness and wear resistance. Anodizing process has the characteristics to improve the surface properties of aluminium metal in physical and mechanical properties. The anodizing process of aluminium metal using sulfuric acid solution produces a thicker oxide layer than in other solutions, such as phosphoric acid solution. This research studied the effect of phosphoric acid concentration on process efficiency, oxide layer thickness, and the hardness of the anodized oxide layer in 16% sulfuric acid solution. Phosphoric acid solution concentration varied from 0; 0.5; 1;2;4; and 8% in 16% sulfuric acid solution at 5 Volts voltage or 1.12 A/dm2 current density with 25 minutes processing time. The results showed that the anodizing process in 16% sulfuric acid solution had the lowest efficiency of 19.3% after adding variations in the concentration of phosphoric acid. These conditions reached the optimum in 16% sulfuric acid solution with the addition of 1% phosphoric acid; 26.6 mg oxide mass; 50.33% efficiency; 90.48 mg/dm2 oxide layer thickness and 86.57 HV metal surface hardness

Abstract

One of the stages in the pulp industry that needs a lot of NaOH is MCO₂ (Medium Consistency Oxygen). However, the production process is impeded by the highly restricted availability of NaOH. Additionally, the significant fiber degradation that frequently takes place at the MCO2 stage may lessen the pulp's viscosity and strength. The study's components included pulp, ethanol, and NaOH. The goal of the research was to use less NaOH and to slow down fiber degradation by adding ethanol. The process involves adjusting the dose to obtain the optimum proportion of ethanol and NaOH, after which the temperature and reaction time are varied to produce pulp with higher quality. The results showed that at various doses, 50%:50% was the most optimum proportion of ethanol and NaOH with a kappa number 18, viscosity 1068.11 cP, and brightness 32.15%ISO. The best temperature that occurred in the optimum proportion of ethanol and NaOH was 85°C with a kappa number of 17.3, a viscosity of 1056.78 cP, and a brightness of 32.56%ISO. Meanwhile, the best reaction time for the optimum proportion of ethanol and NaOH occurred at 90 minutes with a kappa number of 15.6 viscosity of 1023,04 cP, and brightness 32.69%ISO

Abstract

Indonesia has initiated a zero-carbon emission plan; one strategy is to replace Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) with eco-friendly fuels like Dimethyl Ether (DME). However, high Operational Expenditure (OPEX) for CO2 conversion technology poses a challenge. This research aims to address these techno-economic barriers by examining how catalyst synthesis methods, specifically Ultrasonic (US) and coprecipitation (CP), impact the performance of the bifunctional catalyst Cu/ZnO/Zr/Al2O3 – H+ Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 (CZZA-HZSM-5) in DME synthesis. The catalysts are characterized using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method and tested in a fixed-bed reactor at 240°C and 27.6 bar, followed by a bubble reactor containing methanol. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) is used for analysis. The US method produces catalysts with higher surface area, pore volume, and average pore diameter than the CP method, with values of 45.93 m²/g, 0.3822 cc/g, and 1.6646 nm, respectively. Correspondingly, the US catalyst shows higher CO2 conversion and methanol yield, at 13.3% and 59.7%. DME as the final product is undetected in GC-MS analysis, likely due to differences in HZSM5 specifications, high reaction rates, and ΔG values above 1. This study enhances understanding of how catalyst synthesis methods affect CO2 conversion efficiency, crucial for developing sustainable fuel alternatives.

Abstract

The increase in fuel use along with the decline in production of petroleum exploration activities encourages efforts to find alternative fuels, one of which is biodiesel from PFAD (Palm Fatty Acid Distillate) with production reaching 6,000,000 tons while its utilization is still low. Biodiesel production from PFAD using Fly ash (FA)-SO3H catalyst which is a heterogeneous catalyst through esterification method. FA used in this study was wet impregnated using 6M sulfuric acid (H2SO4) for 24 hours, so that the highest acid concentration was obtained at a calcination temperature of 500 ⁰C of 1.1654 mmol/gram. The research was conducted with Response Surface Method (RSM) with Box Behnken Design model in Design Expert 13 software and 13 runs were obtained. The resulting model from RSM was obtained as optimum conditions at catalyst loading (%-w) 5-10, methanol:PFAD molar ratio (n/n) 10:1-30:1, reaction time 3-5 hours and temperature 60 ⁰C. Based on the experimental results and ANOVA, the high conversion is influenced by the high catalyst loading and methanol:PFAD ratio (n/n), with the conversion obtained of 72.89% at catalyst loading of 10%-w, methanol:PFAD molar ratio of 20 (n/n) and time for 5 hours.

Abstract

Municipal solid waste leachate contains landfill-produced organic contaminants. Leachate with the high organic content pottentially pollute nearby waterways. The high content of pollutants in leachate is represented by the measured Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) content. Therefore, leachate was carried out using the anaerobic method. The anaerobic approach was chosen because it can process high-organic waste and produce biogas, in which methane in biogas may be used as renewable energy. Leachate from old landfills is heavy in nitrogen, thus to optimize the anaerobic process, it must be mixed with high-carbon substrates. Water hyacinth, a fast-growing plant with a high carbon content, is a weed because it pottentially damage the ecosystem. This research begins by comparing the anaerobic reactor with a single substrate of leachate and a mixed substrate (leachate and water hyacinth). Water hyacinth was added with size variations of 1 mm; 5 mm; 10 mm; and 15 mm. From the four variations, the mixed substrate reactor had a higher COD reduction efficiency than the single substrate in all water hyacinth sizes. The optimum particle size of water hyacinth is 1 mm, resulted the highest COD reduction efficiency of 81% and the highest biogas cummulative volume of 4,230 mL. The addition of water hyacinth as an additional substrate statisticaly proven has a strong correlation to the increasing efficiency of COD removal compared to the biogas production.
