Abstract

In this study, sulfonated carbon cryogel (CC) doped with zinc was prepared and used as a solid catalyst. Carbon cryogel was prepared by mixing urea and furfural, freeze-drying, and calcination. The CC was then sulfonated and impregnated with zinc (II) nitrate for ethyl levulinate production from ethanolysis of glucose. Experiment results showed that different types of catalyst prepared from CC precursor had different catalytic effects on the ethanolysis of glucose. Sulfonated carbon cryogel doped with zinc (SCC-Zn) which prepared at a calcination temperature of 300 °C showed better performance as a catalyst for the ethanolysis reaction of glucose. In addition, the 10 wt.% of Zn was recommended as optimum loading for the impregnation on the catalyst. The ethyl levulinate yield of 19.6 mol% was obtained at 180 °C for 6 h with 0.15 g catalyst loading and 0.4 g of glucose feed. The selected SCC-Zn catalyst was further characterized by using FTIR, TGA XRD, and SEM-EDX to evaluate its physical and chemical properties as a catalyst.

Abstract

Microalgae contain a significant amount of carbohydrates that can be converted further to produce valuable compounds. To extract carbohydrates from microalgae, sub-critical water extraction (SWE) is a viable and novel method. Compared to other existing chemical and biological extraction methods, SWE is more economical, effective, and efficient in terms of process conditions. This process uses high temperature and pressure of water at just below supercritical conditions to keep water at a liquid state. This study aims to investigate the factors that affect the extraction yield of carbohydrates from microalgae Nannochloropsis sp. using the SWE process. The extraction was carried out at a temperature of 160 – 320 oC, a duration of 5 – 25 min, and microalgal biomass loading of 5 - 25% w/v. The kinetics study was conducted in an extraction time of 5 – 25 min at 200 oC and 5% (w/v) biomass loading. A simplified kinetic model based on a consecutive reaction was used to describe carbohydrate production and decomposition via SWE. It was found that the maximum yield of total carbohydrate was 18.04 g/100 g which was obtained at 200 oC, 10 min, and 5% (w/v) microalgal biomass loading. The carbohydrate concentration was decreased as the temperature, extraction time and microalgal biomass loading increased. This result indicated that the SWE is a promising extraction method for carbohydrate recovery from microalgae, and the factors investigated here had a significant effect on the extraction process. The proposed kinetic model was also able to capture the experimental data well within the range of operating conditions studied in this work.

Abstract

Biodiesel or fatty acid methyl ester is a fuel derived from vegetable oil and animal fat. In this study, biodiesel is produced from transesterification of waste cooking oil and methanol (methanolysis), using immobilized Thermomyces lanuginose (TLIM) within ultrasonic-assisted conditions. The enzymatic transesterification is used due to environmental concerns and also the high yield of biodiesel. The limitations in the mass transfer rate of the product and longer reaction time have drawn attention to more efficient technology. One of them is ultrasonic-assisted to reduce reaction time and increase the catalytic activity of the enzyme. Various parameters have been examined in this study, such as reaction time, methanol to oil ratio, the effect of temperatures, and temperature dependency of immobilized Thermomyces lanuginose (TLIM). The highest biodiesel yield of 69.3% was obtained after 6 hours of reaction at a temperature of 35°C and using three step-wise addition of methanol to oil ratio 3:1. Our study showed that the TLIM is sensitive to methanol to oil molar ratio above 1:1. Further research on the temperature dependence found that the TLIM activation energy in the reaction is 11.9 kcal/mol, which is within activation energy for an enzymatic reaction.

Abstract

Eucheuma cottonii (E. cottonii), Ganoderma lucidum (G. lucidum), and Gracilaria sp. are plants that contain high phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, saponins, and tannins. In this work, the phytochemicals were obtained using the subcritical water extraction (SWE) process. The SWE method uses water as a solvent in subcritical conditions. Therefore, the SWE process is an environmentally friendly process for extraction. In order to run the SWE process optimally, measurement of the extraction rate of SWE is needed. Calculation of the extraction rate of SWE process used first and second-order models according to Lagergren equation. SWE process was started by setting temperatures from 140 to 180oC at a pressure of 7 MPa and solvent flow rate of 1 ml/min. Before starting the extraction, the raw material was loaded into the extractor. The raw materials used were E. cottonii, G. lucidum, and Gracilaria sp. The extraction process was carried out for 3 hours, and the product was collected every 30 minutes. The collected product was put into a sample bottle and dried using a freeze dryer. After that, the products obtained were balanced by an analytical scale. Based on the result, the optimum temperature for the SWE process was 180oC for E. cottonii and G. lucidum and 160oC for Gracilaria sp. The yields of the SWE process under the optimum temperature were 85.37%, 58.42%, and 75.73% for E. cottonii, G. lucidum, and Gracilaria sp, respectively. The extract contained phytochemical compounds detected by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. The kinetics model of extraction rate for all variables exhibited a second-order kinetics model that indicated that the extraction process was influenced by more than one factor.

Abstract

The density of ionic liquids is an important design parameter for its utilization as a chemical process solvent. In this study, a generalized Pitzer-type correlation for calculating the density of ionic liquids with the use of reduced temperature (TR), reduced pressure (PR), and acentric factor (ω) as parameters is proposed. Experimental density data were obtained from several references through the IUPAC Ionic Liquids Database. Expansion of the terms as well as integrating the ionic liquid molecular weight was attempted to determine the accuracy improvement of the model in predicting densities at 0.1 MPa. Then, the obtained model was modified by further truncation to include the pressure effects for densities at higher pressures. MATLAB software was used to determine the optimal virial coefficients for the proposed correlations. The percent average absolute deviation (%AAD) was applied to calculate the variation between the experimental and calculated density values. It was concluded that the eight (8) coefficient correlation equation with molecular weight for densities at 0.1 MPa had a %AAD of 4.7537%. Upon modifying the correlation to include pressure effects, the resulting modified equation had an overall %AAD of 4.7174%.

Abstract

Empty palm oil fruit bunches (EPOFB) are lignocellulose which is abundantly available in Indonesia. EPOFB has big potential as raw materials to substitute wood in nanocellulose manufacture. The production of nanocellulose from EOPFB consists of various stages, such as preparation by grinding and sizing, α-cellulose isolation, acid hydrolysis, and freeze-drying. α-cellulose isolate from POEFB through delignification using 17.5% NaOH (w / v) at 80oC for 30 minutes and bleaching using 10% H2O2 (v / v) at 70oC for 15 minutes. The bleached cellulose was then hydrolyzed by acid hydrolysis process using 64% H2SO4 for 45 minutes with temperature variations to determine the effect of temperature on the size of nanocellulose. Obtained nanocellulose then dried with the freeze-drying method at a temperature of 50oC for 6 hours. The nanocellulose morphology was characterized using SEM analysis, and FTIR analysis was done to determine the presence of cellulose and lignin.  The smallest average diameter obtained at 50oC temperature is 86.8 nm with a 51.5 – 66.5 nm distribution range.

Abstract

In the present study, amino-functionalized carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) were prepared from sugarcane bagasse using a simple one-pot hydrothermal method. Both ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic (EDTA) & ethylenediamine (EDA) were used as carbon and amino sources, respectively. The emerging utilization of natural carbon precursors is critically essential considering its low cost, eco-friendly, and unexploited by-products (e.g., sugarcane bagasse), which may have sustainable economic and strategic benefits. The as-prepared N-CQDs were characterized using High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The influences of amine groups were investigated. The as-prepared N-CQDs photoluminescence intensity increased and quenched significantly with EDTA and EDA amino-functionalization, respectively, with the highest quantum yield at 21.21%, 2.4 times higher than non-functionalized CQDs. Furthermore, the amino-functional groups can alter the CQDs structure and particle size ranging from 4.197±1.058 nm to 9.704±1.428 nm. Hence, the N-CQDs produced exhibit highly tunable photoluminescence and particle size potentially applicable in diverse applications.

Abstract

The present work deals with the mechanical properties of hybrid nanocomposites made of epoxy/glass fibre dispersed with different weight percentages of nano-α-Al2O3 powder . The nanoparticles were synthesized by a high energy ball milling technique (60 and 200 nm).. The effect of nano-α-Al2O3 size and content (wt%) on mechanical properties, such as tensile, flexural, interlaminar shear stress (ILSS) and hardness was investigated. The addition of nano-α-Al2O3 enhanced all measured mechanical parameters because of their higher surface area and interfacial polymer-metal interaction. The nanoparticle-embedded laminates showed an improvement in flexural strength and hardness compared to laminate without nano-α-Al2O3. Among all the wt% of varied sizes of nano-α-Al2O3, the highest tensile strength was shown by the addition of 0.5 wt% 200nm nano-α-Al2O3 (167.80 N/m2). The highest flexural strength (378.39 N/m2) Vickers hardness (86.72) were observed for laminates containing 1.5 wt% of 60nm nano-α-Al2O3, while the highest ILSS (31.21 Ksi) was observed for 0.5 wt% of 60nm nano-α-Al2O3. This study showed that there was a higher interaction between the nanoparticle and polymer resin, which led to increasing the mechanical properties of the laminate. This finding show that diversifiying the application of these hybrid materials was possible by adding nano-alumina.

Abstract

Hydrothermal processing is appraised as one of  advanced technologies for wet solid waste handling. In this study, herb residue was subjected to hydrothermal treatment. Calorific value, yield, and also proximate analysis of obtained hydro-char were investigated. A cylindrical reactor with an internal volume of 2.5 Litres made of stainless steel and a low-tech component was used in the experiment. The reactor was equipped with a stirrer to ensure heat transfer took place through the entire parts of the solid-water mixture. Solid products were dried by a microwave oven before analysis. The results show that the final temperature, holding time, and solid-water ratio have various effects on the hydro-char yield, calorific value, and proximate analysis of the hydrothermal products. The hydro-char yield decreased with the increase in final temperature and holding time. Meanwhile, the highest hydro-char yield was obtained at the solid-water ratio of ¼. The hydro-char calorific value increased with the increase in final temperature, holding time, and solid-water ratio. The rise in final temperature, holding time, and solid-water ratio resulted in  a lower moisture content and volatile matter but higher fixed carbon. Meanwhile, the ash content increased with the solid-to-water ratio.

Abstract

Kedondong is an underutilized fruit cultivated in a small scale in Malaysia and it contains nutrients that can be preserved through drying. The dried product can be sold as a premium fruit snack that could generate revenue for the producer. We studied the drying of peeled and unpeeled kedondong fruits using hot air (60-80°C). This study aims to investigate the drying kinetics (drying rates and effective diffusivities) of kedondong fruits and model the drying curves using thin layer models. Ten thin layer models were employed and solved using non-linear regression. Drying kinetics showed that only falling rate periods were observed, which implied that internal diffusion was the dominant mechanism for moisture release. Mathematical models showed that Modified Hii et al. (I) and (II) models were able to predict the drying curve well with the highest R2 (0.9992-0.9999), the lowest RMSE (8.0 x 10-4 - 2.5 x 10-3) and the lowest χ2 (4.0 ×10-5 - 2.0 x 10-4). Peeled  samples showed higher effective diffusivities (average 3.2 x 10-11 m2/s)  than unpeeled samples (average 2.7 x 10-11 m2/s). The activation energy was lower in peeled samples (25.8 kJ/mol) as moisture diffusion could occur more easily than unpeeled samples (32.1 kJ/mol). Results from this study provide kinetic information that can be used in scaling up of dryer and optimizing dryer performances.
