Abstract

Hydrometallurgical processes such as leaching of limonite ore to extract valuable metals including Ni and Co are often non-selective, including other metals in the leachate product. The leaching behavior of Cr from the chromite mineral contained in limonite ore is of concern due to the high Cr content of the leachate effluent. The pre-roasted process is frequently used to pre-treat limonite to increase the precious metal content. This study aims to determine the leaching behavior of Cr and the effect of pre-roasting on its kinetic parameters. The pre-roasting process was carried out at 280 and 610 oC for 4 hours. Observation of Cr leaching behavior was carried out in the leaching temperature range of 30-90 oC for 0-120 minutes using sulfuric acid solvent. The highest Cr recovery was achieved in pre-roasted ore leaching at 610 oC with leaching operating conditions of 2 M sulfuric acid, solid-liquid ratio of 5 g/50 mL, 200 rpm, for 120 minutes, at a leaching temperature of 90 oC, under these conditions Cr recovery reached 53.16%. The higher the roasting temperature, the lower the activation energy required for the leaching process. Cr leaching from raw and pre-roasted ore is controlled by the diffusion process through the ash layer with activation energies (EA) of 21.41, 18.64, and 14.71 kJ/mol for raw ore, pre-roasted ore 280 oC, and pre roasted ore 610 oC, respectively. The comparison of kinetics data from several roasting products for atmospheric leaching feeds will provide industry with information to integrated pyro-hydrometallurgical process to increase Cr production from laterite.

Abstract

Coffee, as a major commodity in Indonesia, produces a huge number of byproducts and residues during the processing process. Coffee wastes and byproducts produced during coffee berry processing are a major source of contamination and represent significant environmental challenges in the coffee production process. One promising alternative in utilizing coffee wastes is converting into energy source i.e, of biogas from coffee pulp. Coffee pulp has toxic components that act as a methane inhibitor; these type of biomass have a problem with the lignin degradation process, which binds cellulose and hemicellulose. The use of cow's rumen fluid for methane production from coffee pulp is still rare, particularly for rumen fluid. Chemical pretreatment was carried out using alkali-peroxide followed by rumen fluid pretreatment. The performance of biogas produced from coffee pulp (with and without pretreatment) using rumen fluid as an inoculum has been investigated. Biogas was produced in a semi-batch reactor with a working volume of 2 liters for 30 days. Removal lignin, SS, VFA, and biogas yield were measured. This study aims to determine the biogas production from coffee pulp using variation HRT 20 and 30 days. It can be concluded that chemical pretreatment of NaOH - H2O2 combination can reduce lignin up to 75.02%. The volume of biogas produced increased with chemical pretreatment and rumen fluid as compared to the substrate with only rumen pretreatment According to Gas Chromatography analysis, the methane gas obtained from chemical pretreatment and rumen with HRT 30 days is 47.93%, while the methane obtained from rumen pretreatment with HRT 30 days is 34.28%.

Abstract

The world is experiencing a crisis of scarcity of diesel fuel sources. The B30 program is to develop energy sources by utilizing alternative energy sources to prevent petroleum shortages. This program also supports research, namely making biodiesel using non-edible raw materials. Apart from that, another benefit of this research is to determine the effect of time on the yield of biodiesel production, knowing the effect of stirring speed on the diffusivity constant and reaction speed constant of the reactive extraction process. Biodiesel production in this research uses a reactive extraction process. The raw materials used are mahogany seeds, the solvent is methanol, chloroform as a co-solvent, and KOH as a catalyst. This process uses a temperature of 65°C, reaction time of 40 and 80 minutes, and varying stirring speeds of 200 and 300 rpm. The effect of time with a variable stirring speed of 200 rpm the longer the resulting yield increases, while at a stirring speed of 300 rpm the resulting yield decreases. The yield obtained at 200 rpm stirring was 82.363% (40 minutes), 87.6366% (80 minutes), 84.7605% (40 minutes), and 78.7204 (80 minutes). For the methyl ester diffusion constant, the stirring speed of 200 rpm is 8,20 x 10-8 dm2/minute, while the stirring speed of 300 rpm is 8,17 x 10-8 dm2/minute. The reaction rate constant is 1.99 dm3/mol min.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the efficiency and adsorption capacity of various concentrations of FeCl3 coagulants (100-300 mg/L) to reduce Cu2+ concentrations in wastewater as well as the kinetic parameters that affect the adsorption mechanism in the coagulation process when coagulant particles added to wastewater will stick to the surface of colloidal particles, which will then change the charge. Several adsorption kinetics models employed in this study include Pseudo-first order, Pseudo-second order, Elovich, and Intra particle diffusion. The applicability of the models produced in this work was evaluated by optimizing the non-linear equations, which provide values that are more precise and in agreement with real situations when compared to the linear kinetic models. These characteristics are measured based on the value of the coefficient of correlation (R2), Sum Square Error (SSE), and Chi Square (x2). The results showed that the highest efficiency value of the FeCl3 coagulant was 98.705%, with the value of the adsorption capacity increasing along with the concentration of the FeCl3 coagulant. The kinetic model created in this work has a very excellent fit in terms of experimental data values and prediction data.

Abstract

Research on synthesis copper nanoparticles has been carried out by the reduction method with a green synthesis approach using extracts of gambir leaves (Uncaria gambir Roxb). Gambir leaf extract contains polyphenol compounds uses as a natural reducing agent to reduce copper cation from variations of prekursor (CuSO45.H2O, Cu(NO3)2.3H2O and CuCl2.2H2O). The formation of copper nanoparticles (CuNP) colloid is visually shown by color change from light brown to dark brown. Absorption peak in UV-Vis spectrophotometer analysis at 405 -427 nm which is a specific wavelength of copper nanoparticles base on phenomenon of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed formation of CuNP with a face centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure. The result of Transmission Electron Microscope show the synthesized CuNP was spherical with particle size diameter 15nm for CuSO4 prekursor, 25 nm for Cu(NO3) prekursor and 28 nm for CuCl2 prekursor. The size of nanoparticles influenced of type prekursor anions. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized nanoparticles was also tested using pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that copper nanoparticles were promising antibacterial agents. Antibacterial activity test on copper nanoparticles were found to have higher antibacterial activity against Gram positive bacteria S. aureus than Gram negatif E. coli.
