Abstract

Banana is one of the fruits that can thrive in Indonesia. This plant is often found in tropical soils with slightly moist soil conditions. However, banana peels are underutilized and are only disposed of as agricultural waste. On the other hand, the carbohydrate content of banana peels is still quite high, reaching 12.2% so it can be used as raw material for making bioethanol. Carbohydrates in the substrate cannot be directly converted into bioethanol but need to be pretreated first to break down polysaccharides into monosaccharides. In this research, the pretreatment process of carbohydrate hydrolysis from banana peels into reducing sugars is studied. From the studies, the reducing sugar concentration was obtained with banana peels substrate concentration of 20 g/L, 5 M of sulfuric acid concentration, and an optimum hydrolysis time of 70 minutes with the obtained reducing sugar reach 16.82 g/L. Reducing sugar can be converted into bioethanol by fermentation process with S. cerevisiae yeast. It is hoped that these studies can provide an initial impact on the development of alternative energy based on biomass and utilization of banana peel waste.

Abstract

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) is one of the biomass wastes that have a great potential of a bioenergy resource due to its natural properties, such as high calorific value. The conversion of EFB biomass into valuable biofuels can achieved through biochemical and thermochemical processes. Tar (bio oil), the liquid product from the pyrolysis is one of the most attractive biofuels. The study aims to determine the effect of temperature process of pyrolysis EFB on its tar production under droptube reactor. The results showed that maximum tar yield was 43,80% obtained at 500 °C. The EFB tar produced at 500 °C was also determined to have a higher of phenol compound at 51,9%. The high phenolic content indicates its potential to be used for the production of renewable phenolic resins. Hence, the present work of pyrolysis of EFB presents itself as a promising method to produce phenol rich tar (bio-oil) from biomass waste.

Abstract

The textile industry is a major contributor to pollution, with 10-15% of dyes lost in wastewater during processing, including Methyl Violet. The degradation products of these dyes are often carcinogenic. Conventional biological treatment methods are ineffective due to the complex nature of synthetic dyes. A study aimed to develop a new photocatalytic activity using a UV A lamp and sonolysis using a sonicator. The study modified TiO2/Activated Carbon from Rice Husk as a catalyst to degrade Methyl Violet and textile industry effluent effectively, which was dual benefits as an adsorbent-photocatalyst. Results showed that the degradation by sonolysis and photolysis was 12.99% and 79.16%, respectively. The degradation by photolysis was 14.95% and 94.12%. The light and catalyst with the highest percentage of degradation were TiO2/activated carbon with UV A light of 94.12%. This study aims to develop effective treatment techniques for the textile industry's dyes.

Abstract

One of the chemical contaminants in domestic wastewater is phosphate. High phosphate levels in water can cause algae bloom (eutrophication), which leads to a decrease in oxygen concentration in the water body and subsequently results in the death of aquatic organisms. Papaya seeds contain natural polymers in the form of proteins that act as natural polyelectrolytes, helping to reduce chemical contaminants in waste. This study aims to determine the most effective dose of papaya seed coagulant (Carica papaya L.) for lowering phosphate levels, turbidity and pH of domestic wastewater. An experimental method was used with varying sizes and doses of papaya seed coagulant: 70, 80 dan 90 mesh, and doses: 0.5 grams, 1 gram, 1.5 grams, and 2 grams, tested using a jar test. The reduction in phosphate levels in domestic wastewater was measured with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed the treatment of domestic wastewater for reducing phosphate levels using papaya seed (Carica papaya L.) coagulant can be achieved by adding 2 grams of coagulant with a particle size of 90 mesh. Under these conditions, the phosphate levels decreased from 2.1529 mg L⁻¹ to 0,1907 mg L⁻¹, with an efficiency of 88.96%. According to the Domestic Wastewater Quality Standard No. 68 of 2016, the maximum allowable phosphate concentration is 0.2 mg L⁻¹, making the research results close to the established standard. Additionally, turbidity decreased from 86.55 NTU to 26.40 NTU, while the pH level increased from 6.5 to 6.9. This study suggests that papaya seeds could be a cost-effective, sustainable alternative for domestic wastewater treatment, especially in reducing phosphate contamination and helping maintain water quality

Abstract

The rapid development of the palm oil industry, which cannot be denied, has an impact on the amount of industrial waste, particularly wastewater, requiring proper and effective treatment to reduce the impact of the damage. Wastewater treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) in an aerobic pond requires an adequate supply of oxygen so that its quality improves and becomes disposable, so it requires assistance from aeration media. A fine bubble diffuser was used as the aeration medium in this study. The aeration medium in this study was a fine bubble diffuser. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of installing a diffuser on the quality of the final wastewater, particularly the COD and BOD values, in the palm oil industry wastewater treatment. The analysis results for the wastewater parameters after the installation of the fine bubble diffuser revealed a significant reduction in the waste's COD and BOD values to 130 – 175 mg/L and 67 – 78 mg/L, respectively, making it more suitable for disposal to the environment.

Abstract

Solvent is one of the important components in chemical processes. The type of solvent that is often used in the paint and coating industry is a hydrocarbon-based solvent which consists of a diverse complex mixture of liquids and contains aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic (C5-C8) elements. Aromatic hydrocarbons are environmental pollutants that are known to be toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic, so a hydrocarbon-based solvent with an aromatic content of less than 1% is needed. An appropriate separation method for separating aromatic and nonaromatic components having close boiling points is extractive distillation with a sulfolane entrainer. In this study, a distillation system with a sulfolane entrainer was run using the process simulation software Aspen Plus with the aim of understanding the effect of the amount of sulfolane, feed stage and number of stages on the physical properties of hydrocarbon-based solvents. This simulation is focused on the variation of the ratio of sulfolane: crude feed (7:1, 7.5:1, 8:1, 8.5:1), the variation of the feed stage (10th stage to the 35th stage) and the variation of the number of stages (70, 75, 80). It was found that the number of stages did not affect the density and flash point of the solvent. An increase of number of stage will decrease the solvent flash point and density. Significant decreament also can be found when the sulfolane to crude feed ratio is increased. However, the physical properties of the current dearomatized solvent is close to the properties of commercial product namely SBP 65/70 from one of oil and gas companies.

Abstract

Nickel (Ni) deposits are depleting, while demand for the metal is increasing. To address this problem, valuable metals such as Ni and Fe can be extracted from secondary sources such as limonite-type laterite ores. The goal of this study was to investigate the influence of leaching temperature on Ni and Fe recovery, as well as the best kinetic model to represent the leaching process of these metals. Temperature has a considerable impact on the leaching process of Ni and Fe. Increasing the temperature from 30 to 90 oC can increase the recovery of Ni by 50% and Fe by 70 %. Ni and Fe recoveries were highest at 93.21 % and 95 %, respectively. Kinetic analysis of the two metals' leaching processes was also performed. It was discovered that the diffusion process controls Ni leaching, which can be represented using the Zhuravlev kinetic model, whereas chemical reactions on the surface of the unreacted core controls Fe leaching. The activation energies for leaching Ni and Fe are 36.53 and 40.32 kJ/mol, respectively. 1930 exp ((-36.53 kJ/mol)/(R.T))t=[(1-X)-1/3)-1]2 is the kinetic equation for Ni leaching. The kinetic equation for Fe leaching is 3903 exp ((- 40.32 kJ/mol)/(R.T)t=1-(1 X)1/3.
