Abstract

The selection of a catalyst is imperative in extracting silica. Calcium is a heterogeneous base catalyst that is abundant in carbonate rocks. This study attempts to extract silica using an artificial carbonate solvent with variations of strong acid HCl (1 M, 3 M, 5 M), NaCl salt (1: 2, 1: 4) w/w ratio to distilled water, and H2O (1: 4) w/w ratio to carbonate. Characteristics of fly ash were analyzed using XRF and XRD to determine the elemental composition, crystal structure, and dominant constituent compounds. The solvent concentration and pH effect in extracting silica from fly ash is reviewed by setting the temperature parameter at 60 C, 120 minutes extraction time, and the ratio between fly ash and carbonate solvent 20 % w/v. The filtrate was verified using UV-Vis to determine the concentration of dissolved silica (SiO2) in the carbonate solvent. The examination results showed that the carbonate solvent with 3 M HCl was able to extract silica better than the other five solvents at 68.17 ppm.

Abstract

Adsorption is the process of fluid molecules contacting the surface of a solid material. This study aims to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) gas in biogas using natural zeolite-based adsorbent pellets by adsorption and desorption of CO2 from the adsorbent using air. CO2 removal was carried out to determine the percentage of CO2 removal efficiency with variations in biogas flow rates (100 mL/minute, 300 mL/minute, and 500 mL/minute) and variations in the type of adsorbent pellets (particle size, activation time, calcination time, and dealumination activation treatment). Determination of the percentage of CO2 removal is carried out by flowing the biogas into the column and contacting it with the adsorbent continuously for 30 minutes and the output gas is collected in a gas collector to analyze the remaining CO2 content. The results showed that the best CO2 removal was 97.7% using an adsorbent with a particle size of 140 mesh, 4 hours of calcination, 90 minutes of activation time, and dealumination activation at a flow rate of 100 mL/minute. The breakthrough characteristic curve presents the characteristic “S” profile at constant flow rate (100 mL/minute).

Abstract

An edible film serves to protect and improve food quality. One of the ingredients that can be used is pectin. However, edible films made from pectin have fragile mechanical properties, so snakefruit peel is added as a filler to improve mechanical properties. Edible films were prepared with concentrations from 0%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 6% (wt), pectin, glycerol (C3H8O3), calcium hloride dihydrate (CaCl2.2H2O) and Tween 80. It was stirred with magnetic stirrer, printed and dried in an oven to test the properties. As a result, the addition of snakefruit peel affected the thickness, swelling, degradation and antimicrobial. The thickness obtained is between 0.024 mm - 0.0172 mm. The swelling results obtained ranged from 0.0409 - 0.0137. The best degradation results were obtained on day 5th, with varying concentrations of 6% snakefruit peel. The results of the study on antimicrobial activity showed that maximal inhibition with varying concentrations of 6% snakefruit peel with an inhibition zone of 20.8 mm.

Abstract

B30 is an environmentally friendly fuel used for diesel engines. B30 is very easily contaminated with water sourced from the production process and raw materials from the B30. This water content causes corrosion and has an impact on landfilling. A demulsifier is a way to break down the B30 and water emulsion. In this study, the demulsifier used was acrylate-based and mixed with polar and non-polar solvents. The addition of a demulsifier with a volume of 2 mL, 5 mL, and 10 mL in the stockpiling process with variations of 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours obtained an effect on the volume of water, where the volume of water increases with longer storage time. But the effectiveness of the demulsifier can be evaluated by potentiometrically measuring the water content and FTIR. The demulsifier that was made was also added with an antioxidant in the form of tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) with a concentration of 0.5 M and obtained more separate water layers than without the addition of TBHQ. To obtain the water content value after adding TBHQ, the coulometric and Fourier Transform Infra Red methods were used, which yielded higher results when compared to the absence of TBHQ. So that antioxidants and dimulsifiers have a positive effect on the process of storing diesel fuel.

Abstract

Water hyacinth is a freshwater plant that has a negative impact on waters, but has a high cellulose content (77.6%) and is still underutilized. One alternative in controlling the amount of water hyacinth is to utilize its potential cellulose content as an ingredient in xanthan gum. Fermentation was carried out with the help of Xanthomonas campestris and xanthan gum was obtained, which can be used as a polymer injection material to increase crude oil production in the oil refinery industry. The stages to obtain xanthan gum are delignification, hydrolysis, and anaerobic fermentation (28 °C) with a time variation of 24 hours to 120 hours with an interval of 24 hours. The cellulose hydrolysate variable is 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, and 2.5%. The yield of xanthan gum in this research was 18%, with a moisture content was 13% – 15% and an ash content was 3% –3.9%. The resulting xanthan gum was analyzed for its functional groups using Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) and was in agreement with commercial xathan gum.

Abstract

Biodiesel can be made by utilizing used cooking oil through a chemical process, namely through a transesterification reaction, namely changing the oil (triglycerides) into fatty acid methyl esters. Washing must be done to remove the remaining impurities in biodiesel. The dry washing method is purification by utilizing the adsorption process to remove impurities in crude biodiesel. Bentonite is an alternative adsorbent that can be used as dry washing in the biodiesel refining process because it is cheaper, abundant in nature and has a layered structure with the ability to swell. The purpose of the study was to determine the ability of bentonite activated with acid as a dry washing agent in biodiesel purification. The research method used is the dry washing process method using bentonite adsorbents. The application of bentonite adsorbent as much as 6 grams with a contact time of 3 hours is the best operating condition to produce biodiesel with a pH of 6 and a clarity value of 96.7.
