Abstract

Research on the extraction of ß-carotene has been carried out intensively in recent years, considering the wide application of ß-carotene compounds, especially in the pharmaceutical and health fields. In the health sector, β-carotene has antioxidant compounds that can neutralize unstable molecules called free radicals. When the number of free radicals is too high in the body, it can cause cell and tissue damage which is known as oxidative stress. So the consumption of β-carotene should be increased. Various technologies are used for the isolation of ß-carotene from raw materials, such as maceration, soxhlet, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and supercritical liquid extraction (SFE). This study uses the maceration method with the consideration that the energy used is relatively low and refers to the heat-resistant nature of β-carotene. The purpose of this study was to analyze the addition of co-solvent diethyl ether to acetone solvent to the value of the extraction rate constant (k). In this case, the addition of a co-solvent can help transport β-carotene to the solvent effectively by increasing the yield of β-carotene produced. Quantitative analysis was carried out using calculations based on mass balance, pseudo-second-order, and Peleg to then conclude which model is by the resulting data. The final yield of β-carotene was 34.395; 103.287 and 108.974 µg/g for diethyl ether, acetone, and a mixture of acetone with diethyl ether (24: 1)  v/v respectively. The value of the extraction speed constant for each solvent diethyl ether, acetone, and a mixture of acetone with diethyl ether was 0.8913; 1.03975, and 2.0975 (minute-1) based on the Peleg model and 0.00738 for each solvent; 0.00828; 0.0141 (gram/mg.minute) based on the pseudo second-order model.

Abstract

Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) is the latest generation of solar cells with dyes as absorbers of photons from sunlight. At this time, the DSSC efficiency obtained is still relatively low so that research on DSSC is still being developed to produce DSSC with higher efficiency. One of the methods used to increase the efficiency of DSSC is polymerization of dyes. Polymerization of dyes aims to increase conjugated double bonds. The more conjugated double bonds, the more photons will be absorbed so that more electrons will flow. In this study, tannins were used as dyes. In the tannin polymerization process, crosslinking agents are used to bind tannin monomers with other tannin monomers. the variable in this study was the volume of the glutaraldehyde crosslinking agent (1.5 mL, 2.5 mL, 3 mL). The results of this study obtained the highest DSSC efficiency of 12.20% at a volume of 2.5 mL of crosslinking agent.

Abstract

This research describes the biogas purification process by reducing CO2 content using NaOH solution as an absorbent and methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) as a promoter in Wetted Wall Column (WWC). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of MDEA concentration and flow rate of NaOH + MDEA solution on CO2 absorption. The column is made of acrylic material with a diameter of 4.5 cm, height 50 cm, equipped with a tube with a diameter of 1.27 cm, height 45 cm. The tube is in the center of the column. The flow rate of absorbent solution for each run was varied as 150, 200, 250 and 300 ml/min and the concentration of MDEA for each run was 4% wt and 6% wt in 1 M NaOH. The biogas flow rate was 6 L/min, which was fed from the bottom of the column. The samples were analyzed by Gas Chromatography 2014 AT (SHIMADZU Corp 08128). The results showed that at 6% NaOH + MDEA solution, the solution flow rate of 150 mL/min was the best. Under these conditions, the output CO2 content is 13.306% and the output CH4 content is 81.737%. The results of the output CO2 content did not reach the 90% target because the biogas was contaminated by gas from the environment and the lack of control over the condition of the equipment during the absorption process.

Abstract

Batu Ampar Port is the largest loading and unloading port of the three existing loading and unloading port facilities in Batam and the largest port for manufactured goods used by companies to supply the industrial sector in Batam. In addition to having a positive impact, the Batu Ampar port also has a negative impact in the form of a decrease in environmental quality, especially the noise level generated by activities in the Batu Ampar Port area. In this study the noise sampling process used the Svantek tool, sampling was carried out for 24 hours with a time limit of 24 intervals, then sampling was carried out for 10 minutes at each time interval. The research results obtained were that from all sampling points the highest noise was in the East Pier area of 70 – 78.5 dB(A) at 08:00 – 23:00 WIB. While the area with the lowest noise level is in the BPJS flat area of 54.7 – 73.5 dB(A) at 06:00 – 05:00 WIB. It can be concluded that many of the noise values obtained exceed the quality standards in accordance with Kepmen LH No. 48 of 1996. This was due to several factors, namely loading and uploading of very dense containers which resulted in more and more work activities. Noise elimination measures in the Batu Ampar port area are important to do considering the results of noise measurements still exceed the quality standards, Barriers are one of the technologies that can be applied to reduce noise in the Batu Ampar port, Batam, both natural and artificial barriers, so the Batu Ampar port noise problem can be solved.

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.
