Abstract

Indonesia faces the challenge of dependency on fossil fuels, making the utilization of Biomass as a renewable energy source increasingly important. Cocoa pod husk, an abundant agricultural waste, has the potential to be converted into high-quality solid fuel through the torrefaction process. This study aims to analyze the effect of sulfuric acid (H?SO?) solution concentration and torrefaction temperature on the characteristics of carbon produced from cocoa pod husk, as well as to compare the results with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 8675-2018. The methods used include biomass preparation, soaking with various H?SO? concentrations (0, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1 M), and torrefaction at different temperatures (250, 275, 300, 325, and 350 °C). The product characteristics were analyzed using proximate analysis, calorific value testing, and SEM EDX. The results showed that increasing the acid concentration and torrefaction temperature significantly reduced the moisture, ash, and volatile matter content, while increasing the fixed carbon and calorific value. The optimum condition was obtained at 1 M H?SO?. soaking and 350 °C torrefaction, producing carbon with 0.17% moisture, 3.00% ash, 61.79% volatile matter, 35.04% fixed carbon, and a calorific value of 8071.34 cal/g. All parameters met the SNI 8675-2018 standard, indicating that acid-pretreated and torrefied cocoa pod husk has strong potential to be developed into high-quality solid fuel.

Abstract

Soil contamination by heavy metals such as lead (Pb) is a serious environmental problem that can reduce soil quality and endanger living creatures. This study aims to analyze the bioaccumulation potential and remediation ability of Eisenia fetida earthworms and Metaphire javanica earthworms in Pb-contaminated soil. This study was conducted on a laboratory scale using four reactors, namely two reactors with earthworm treatment and one reactor with a control without treatment. The study was conducted over 40 days with sampling once every 10 days. The results showed that Eisenia fetida earthworms had the highest Pb reduction effectiveness of 67.19%, followed by Metaphire javanica earthworms at 48.80%. These results indicate that Eisenia fetida earthworms are more effective bioaccumulators than Metaphire javanica and have high potential as bioremediation agents for Pb-contaminated soil Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 15 (Life on Land) SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being)

Abstract

The Community Partnership Program (PKM) is implemented as a form of community service to enhance the quality and effectiveness of organic fertilizer production by the Simantri Ternak Sekar Pasti Wangi group. This activity focuses on two main aspects: quality testing and effectiveness testing of solid and liquid organic fertilisers produced from livestock waste. Cows. The activity began with socialisation and discussions among members of the livestock farming group regarding the importance of standardising the quality of organic fertilisers. Next, fertiliser samples were taken for laboratory testing to determine the macro- and micronutrient content of the organic liquid fertilisers. In addition to quality testing, field effectiveness tests were also conducted by applying the fertilizer to plants. The test results showed that the organic fertilizer produced by the group has considerable potential in enhancing plant growth. However, several aspects require improvement, such as the levels of specific nutrients. The targets achieved in this activity are that partners understand and master the technique of making POC from 20% to 85%, partners are also expected to be able to apply POC to plants directly from the initial ability of 40% to 80%, partners can increase income by at least 25% by producing POC and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers by replacing it with urine sap POC. This activity can reduce environmental pollution by 95% through the processing of cow urine waste into an organic liquid fertilizer.

Abstract

Batik industries, ranging from household-scale to large-scale, generate wastewater containing high levels of organic compounds, dyes, and other pollutants such as COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Total Suspended Solids), which are difficult to degrade. Wastewater treatment is necessary to reduce pollutant content to meet environmental quality standards. Therefore, this study investigates the effectiveness of the Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) using the electro-Fenton method. The objective of this research is to analyse the effectiveness of and optimise the ElectroFenton process for reducing COD and TSS in batik wastewater. The study aims to determine the optimal combination of current intensity, contact time, and molar ratio of H2O2:FeSO4 that yields the highest removal efficiency. Based on the survey, the electro-Fenton treatment achieved a COD removal efficiency of 77.14% under conditions of 5 amperes current, 55 minutes contact time, and ratio of 10:0.3. At a current of 3 amperes, a contact time of 55 minutes, and a ratio of 10:0.3, the TSS removal efficiency was 98.3%.

Abstract

Contamination of river water by suspended particles and organic matter increases total suspended solids (TSS) and turbidity, degrading water quality and posing risks to aquatic ecosystems and public health. This study evaluated the performance of chitosan derived from green mussel shells (Perna viridis) compared to polyaluminium chloride (PAC), a conventional coagulant, in reducing TSS and turbidity. Chitosan was selected due to its cationic polymer properties, which are obtained through the conversion of chitin, enhancing its coagulation–flocculation effectiveness. The experiment employed a jar test with variations in pH (5, 7, and 9), coagulant dosage, and standardized mixing protocols. Results showed that chitosan achieved optimal performance at pH 5 with a 150 mg/L dosage, resulting in 82% TSS removal and 87% turbidity reduction. In contrast, PAC performed best at pH 7 with a 20 mg/L dosage, achieving 85% TSS removal and 87% turbidity reduction. Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) results indicated that PAC produced larger and more uniform flocs (Xav = 1796.71 nm; PI = 0.403) compared to chitosan (Xav = 1070.28 nm; PI = 0.444). Although PAC had slightly higher efficiency, chitosan from mussel shell waste shows strong potential as an environmentally friendly coagulant for treating river water.

Abstract

The electroplating industry generates wastewater containing hazardous heavy metals such as copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni), which can contaminate aquatic and terrestrial environments. Initial tests showed Cu and Ni concentrations of 92.6 mg/L and 76.23 mg/L, respectively—far exceeding the permissible limits. To address this issue, an environmentally friendly treatment technology was employed, using a subsurface-flow constructed wetland planted with Cyperus papyrus. The study used combinations of soil and rice husk biochar media at weight ratios of 1:0, 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1. Aeration pretreatment was conducted for 24 hours before wastewater was introduced into the subsurface flow wetland. The hydraulic retention times were 0, 5, 10, and 15 days. The results indicated that the 2:1 media combination under aerated conditions achieved the highest removal efficiencies—93.02% for Cu and 96.81% for Ni on the 15th day. Plant tissue analysis revealed the highest metal accumulation in the roots, with Cu and Ni contents of 0.315 mg/g and 0.241 mg/g, respectively.

Abstract

Coal fly ash is a significant byproduct of coal combustion that poses environmental risks if not properly utilized. Rich in aluminosilicates and naturally porous, fly ash can serve as an environmentally friendly, low-cost adsorbent for industrial wastewater treatment. This study aims to investigate the effect of HCl concentration and activation time on the characteristics and adsorption capacity of coal fly ash as an adsorbent. Chemical activation with HCl was performed to enhance adsorption capacity by dissolving impurities, increasing pore volume, increasing surface area, and improving silica content while reducing aluminium levels. The results indicated that the HCl-activated fly ash exhibited the highest iodine adsorption value of 778.38 mg/g, exceeding the SNI standard of 750 mg/g, demonstrating excellent adsorption performance. XRF analysis revealed 78.1% SiO? and 3.96% Fe?O? contents, suggesting that HCl-activated fly ash has great potential as an effective, economical, and sustainable adsorbent for industrial wastewater treatment.
