Abstract

Massive technological development is something that cannot be avoided in this life, because technological development is in line with scientific progress. Indonesia is a country that has abundant energy of various kinds source. Currently, energy use in Indonesia still comes from oil and gas earth, as well as coal which is non-renewable resources. Dependence on energy becomes main problem in energy supply national. Considering the need for it fuel every year continues has increased and is necessary anticipation of the availability of energy sources which is getting thinner while the price fuel oil increases. Every country in the world is now focusing on energy production through non-conventional sources. Biomass is an alternative energy source to replace fossil fuels (oil earth) because it has several beneficial properties, including being able to be utilized economically sustainable because of its renewable nature, no contains sulfur so the biomass does not cause air pollution. Besides being able to reduce waste, if managed properly biomass has high potential to be used as an alternative energy source in the form of biobriquettes. The method used in this research includes the preparation of salak skin raw materials, the carbonisation stage of salak skin, the starch adhesive preparation stage and the salak skin analysis stage, namely the analysis of calorific value and burning rate. Based on the results of the calorific value analysis and combustion rate analysis, it can be concluded that the biobriquette sample of salak skin with starch adhesive has met the provisions of the SNI No. 01-6235-2000 on charcoal biobriquettes. From the results of the study, it was also found that the Biobriket B sample, namely by using adhesive, has a high calorific value and burning rate compared to Biobriket A, namely without using adhesive.

Abstract

Isolation and characterization of hemicellulose from empty oil palm bunches have been carried out. The method used in the isolation is alkali extraction with NaOH solvent. Hemicellulose isolated from empty oil palm bunches was analyzed by organoleptic and solubility tests. Functional group analysis was carried out using FTIR, and morphology was performed using SEM. The highest yield of 12.84% was obtained from the variation of 0.5 N NaOH solvent. Organoleptic and solubility tests showed that the characteristics of hemicellulose isolated from empty oil palm bunches were by the characteristics of hemicellulose in general. The FTIR results of hemicellulose showed the specific absorption peaks of OH stretching, C-H stretching, C=O bending, C-OH bending, and C-C stretching. SEM photos show the rough and fibrous shape of the hemicellulose powder surface.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the adsorption ability of activated carbon and Fe-Cu modified activated carbon in the β-carotene adsorption process on Crude Palm Oil (CPO). Empty Palm Oil Bunches (TKKS) are used as a bio-sorbent for carbon production at a temperature of 500 ºC. The synthesized carbon was activated using H3PO4 and modified with Fe-Cu metal. CPO quality parameters such as Free Fatty Acids and Peroxide Number were analyzed to see the effect of adsorption on CPO quality. The β-carotene level in the CPO sample used is 472.1 ppm. The optimum conditions for using activated carbon in the β-carotene adsorption process are a mass variation of 8 grams with the β-carotene remaining after adsorption being 432.4 ppm, whereas by using Magnetic Activated Carbon, CPO β-carotene after adsorption remains at 426.1 ppm. Meanwhile, increasing the adsorption time causes the absorption of β-carotene to become greater. By using Activated Carbon the remaining β-carotene is 300.1 ppm after 120 minutes, whereas by using Magnetic Activated Carbon the optimum absorption time is faster and the amount of β-carotene absorbed is greater. The remaining βcarotene after absorption with Magnetic Activated Carbon was 288.7 after 90 minutes of adsorption. Apart from being able to absorb β-carotene, magnetic activated carbon is also better at reducing FFA and PV levels from CPO.

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether giving beluntas leaf extract has an effect on albumin levels and total serum protein in white mice induced with E.coli bacteria. RAL was used consisting of 3 treatments and 5 replications. White mice were induced and then given 0.5 ml of extract at a dose of 0.00 mg/kgBW; 300 mg/kgBW; and 600 mg/kgBB. The results showed that administration of the extract had a very significant effect on albumin levels and total serum protein in white mice. Giving the extract at a dose of 600 mg/kgBW gave the highest serum albumin levels but gave the lowest total protein levels. Giving the extract at a dose of 0.00 mg/kgBB; 300 mg/kgBW; and 600mg/kgBW in white mice were induced to give average albumin levels of 2,706 g/dL respectively; 2.844 g/dL; 4.454 g/dL and the mean total serum protein levels were 8.51 g/dL respectively; 8.86 g/dL; 8.8 g/dL.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the adsorption and desorption abilities of activated carbon and Cu-(TAC) composites in the β-carotene adsorption process on Crude Palm Oil (CPO). Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) are used as activated carbon and modified with MOFs Cu-(TAC). Activated carbon and Cu-(TAC) composites were characterized by XRD, SEM-EDX, and BET. The concentration of β-carotene absorbed during the adsorption process was analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The variations used to determine the optimum conditions for absorption of β-carotene were the mass variation of the adsorbent and the variation in the contact time between the adsorbent and adsorbate. The results of the characterization of activated carbon showed a sharp absorption in the presence of O-H, C-H and C-O groups indicating the presence of cellulose. Activated carbon is amorphous and the Cu-(TAC) composite has a crystal structure and its pore size is mesoporous. The optimum conditions for the use of activated carbon for β-carotene adsorption were the mass variation of 8 grams with 0.495 ppm of β-carotene and contact time at 120 minutes with 2.605 ppm of β-carotene. The optimum condition of the Cu-(TAC) composite in the β-carotene adsorption process was at 4 gram mass variation with 1.026 ppm β-carotene content and optimum contact time at 60 minutes with 6.384 ppm β-carotene content. The ability of desorption can be seen from the percentage of desorption showing activated carbon in the 150th minute with 96.252% while in the Cu-(TAC) composite in the 30th minute with 88.188%.

Abstract

Silica has silanol groups contained in it which have low binding ability because it has low acidity, resulting in low absorption effectiveness on silica. In order to improve the properties and to expand the field of utilization, a modification process is carried out on silica gel using GPTMS bridging compounds and sulfonate salts as modifiers. The study explains that CaCl2.2H2O with a desorption percent of 97.25% has a greater ability than NaCl which is only 83.93% in the desorption of Zn2+ cations. The study also explains that the optimum concentration of CaCl2.2H2O eluent in the desorption of Zn2+ cations is at 1mmol/L where the desorption yield is 93.74%.

Abstract

Although polystyrene (PS) finds widespread use in household applications, its non-biodegradable nature raises concerns about its environmental impact. Therefore, modifying PS by blending it with a biodegradable polymer such as poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) is essential. This study focuses on investigating the functional groups and structural characteristics of PS/PCL blends. In this study, we produce polyblend using the solvent casting method. On the other hand, the PCL employed in this study was synthesized using the bis(dibenzoylmethanato)zirconium(IV)chloride (bis(dibzm)2Zr) catalyst. Next, the FTIR analysis indicates a Van Der Wall’s interaction between PS and PCL. Therefore, we did not find any absorption of new functional groups outside of the PS and PCL functional groups. Next, the XRD analysis revealed that polyblend has a more crystalline structure than PS. Meanwhile, PCL has a more crystalline structure than PS/PCL polyblend and pure PS.
