Abstract

Indonesia is one of the leading Pulp and paper producers globally, with an estimated annual growth rate of 3.5%. However, domestic production has not yet fully met the domestic needs and export demand for paper. Currently, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and chlorine dioxide (ClO2) are the primary bleaching agents used in Pulp and paper production. This research aims to evaluate the effects of H2O2, ClO2, and temperature on product quality parameters, specifically the tensile and tear indices. The variations of ClO2 used are 2%, 0.4%, and 0.7%; H2O2 concentrations are 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.4%; and the temperatures used are 75°C and 85°C. The study found that the addition of ClO2 at a concentration of 0.7% resulted in the highest tensile index of 76.9 N.m/g and a tear index of 3.5 m.N.m²/g. The addition of H2O2 at a concentration of 0.1% resulted in a tensile index of 83.9 N.m/g and a tear index of 9.4 m.N.m²/g. Temperature variations did not significantly affect the tensile and tear indices, with the tensile index reaching 9.35 m.N.m²/g. The addition of H2O2 is essential as it enhances the bleaching process and improves the mechanical properties of the Pulp, which is beneficial for optimizing bleaching conditions to enhance product quality, thus meeting both domestic needs and export demands

Abstract

The first stage of this research was to make polystyrene grafted with maleic anhydride for making the couping agent with other filling compound. In the second stage, the polystyrene matrix grafted with maleic anhydride was combined with filler material derived from palm oil mill waste using the dry mixing method with an internal mixer. Among several variables tested, the optimum composition of the polymer composite was found to be Polystyrene grafted with maleic anhydride: sludge: boiler ash in a ratio of 60:25:15. This composition exhibited a Young's modulus of 856.752 MPa, a tensile strength of 6.057 MPa, and an elongation at break of 0.775%. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) testing revealed a glass transition temperature of 403.22°C, a crystallization temperature of 426.39°C, and a cross-linking indication temperature of 478.64°C. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) tests showed an even distribution of the material. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy indicated a decrease in absorption peaks at 3024.94 cm⁻¹ and 3025.15 cm⁻¹, while the polystyrene characteristics at the wave number 1600.57 cm⁻¹ appeared sharper. The sound absorption test results met the ISO 11654:1997 standard for the rating level of sound absorption coefficient in materials, achieving Class D and C sound absorption with an αₙₓ value ranging from 0.328 to 0.793.

Abstract

This research aims to process remaining shampoo products originating from the sampo industry into vehicle shampoo so that it has sales value and also has good quality. Determining the formulation for making this vehicle shampoo uses the trial and error method. After that, the variation data obtained will be tested through a pH test, density test, viscosity test, foam power test and corrosivity test. The results obtained are that the remaining variation data for the 25 mL shampoo product is the most optimal data because it meets the requirements for pH, density, viscosity and foaming test results. The results obtained from the variation data to make the best formulation were 47% remaining shampoo, 8% LAS, 8% NaCl (0.5 N), 8% NaOH (0.1 N), 0.4% Essense (Bubble Gum). %, and Aquadest 30%. This formulation produces a pH value of 7.18. Meanwhile, the density is 1.0257 g/cm3. The viscosity of this composition is 2.999 Pa.s. The stability of the foam power is 66,7% and the corrosion resistance test results get a value of 0.145655 mm/year or in the "Good" category in terms of corrosion resistance.

Abstract

The Cisadane River is a very important ecosystem for the people of the city of Tangerang. Its utilization has the potential to produce waste that can damage aquatic life so that it becomes one of the sources of the problem of decreasing water quality both physically and chemically. One of the efforts made to overcome the problem of Cisadane river water is to use water purifiers derived from natural materials so that they do not endanger health and can bind heavy metals. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding snail shells to the water quality of the Cisadane river in industrial areas, urban areas and slums in terms pH value, TDS value and Pb heavy metal. The experimental procedures in this study were snail shell preparation, Cisadane river water sampling, Sampel analysis before application, snail shell powder application, and Sampel analysis after application. The results of analys show that the clarity level of Cisadane river water ranges from 19 NTU to 59 NTU, the pH value ranges from 7.2 to 7.9, the TDS value ranges from 60 mg/l to 170 mg/l and the heavy metal content is 0.0047 mg /l. The conclusion of this research is that there is an increase in the level of clarity with the addition of snail shells by 45%, there is not visible effect of the snail shells addition’s on the pH value and content of Pb heavy metal. And there is an increase in the TDS value after adding snail shells.

Abstract

Indonesia's pulp and paper production capacity was 5.5% of global production capacity in 2021. As an effort to support the development of the pulp and paper industry in Indonesia, pulp from empty oil palm fruit bunches (EFB) waste which are currently abundant is being tried to develope as raw material for brown paper. To simplify the process of developing pulp quality from EFB, the authors tried to design a rotary digester on a laboratory scale as a EFB digesting machine. The steps used in this research are assembling digester, making pulp, and finally analyzing the data. The digester machine was successfully designed to carry out the pulping process with operating conditions at a pressure of 7 bar, a temperature of 160°C, and a stirrer speed of 80 rpm with a maximum capacity of 1.3 L. The designed rotary digester is capable of producing pulp with an optimal yield level (43%) under reaction conditions, a temperature of 100°C and a NaOH concentration of 5%.

Abstract

Mercury (Hg) is a highly toxic heavy metal with no biological benefits, posing significant environmental and health risks upon exposure. This study investigates the adsorption characteristics of chicken eggshell-derived adsorbents for the removal of Hg from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent preparation involved washing, drying, calcination, and KOH activation. Results indicated that the 170-mesh size adsorbent exhibited the highest adsorption efficiency, achieving a 99.70% removal rate of Hg. adsorption capacity tests revealed values ranging from 79,90 to 88,90 mg/g, conforming to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) for activated carbon. Functional group analysis using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) identified a significant increase in aldehyde and ketone groups post-activation. The adsorption process reached equilibrium within 90 minutes, with optimal removal efficiency observed at an initial Hg concentration of 3,0 mg/L. These findings suggest that chicken eggshell-based adsorbents are a cost-effective and efficient solution for mitigating Hg contamination in wastewater, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional methods.

Abstract

The synthesis of acetins from glycerol is achieved through esterification assisted by a solid acid catalyst and microwave irradiation. Diacetin and triacetin, suitable as biofuel additives, are produced using biogenic silica from bamboo leaves, which is chemically activated with strong acid and calcined. No research has utilized silica catalysts derived from bamboo leaf ash to produce diacetin and triacetin. This study aims to employ bamboo leaf-based heterogeneous catalysts to enhance triacetin selectivity, simplify product purification and separation, and enable catalyst reuse. Furthermore, microwave application can accelerate the reaction time. The best total selectivity for diacetin and triacetin was obtained under operating conditions of 3% catalyst concentration, a 1:6 molar ratio, and 60 minutes of microwave irradiation. The yields of diacetin and triacetin under these conditions were 65.80% and 18.70%, respectively. GC-MS and FTIR analysis confirm the presence of monoacetin, diacetin, and triacetin, with a total selectivity for diacetin and triacetin of 84,50%.
