Abstract

The high amount of plastic waste in landfills will pollute the environment. Direct combustion releases pollutants into the air, and recycling is only possible in small quantities. One method to overcome this problem is pyrolysis. However, pyrolysis requires a catalyst such as zeolite to accelerate the reaction rate, lower the activation energy, and improve the basic properties of the pyrolysis liquid. This study aims to characterize the activated natural zeolite Ende and determine the effect of the catalyst from the activated natural Ende zeolite on the activation energy, as well as the quality of the liquid resulting from the pyrolysis. Based on the research results, the activation process could change the degree of crystallinity became 36.63%, the surface area became 74.57 m2/g, the average radius became 20,21 Ã…, the pore volume became 72.34 cm3/g, and the number of acid sites became 4.342 NH3/g zeolite. Ende's active natural zeolite catalyst in the polyethylene pyrolysis process from plastic waste reduced the activation energy to 4,371.1 cal/mol in treating 0.10% catalyst composition from 1 kg of plastic. Increasing the temperature and catalyst improves the quality of pyrolysis oil, but the composition of the catalyst ratio is 0.10% of 1 kg of plastic.

Abstract

Fly ash has the potential to be used as a raw material in the production of silica gel. This study aims to characterize fly ash and silica gel, determine the effect of NaOH concentration and aging time on the manufacture of silica gel, and determine the trapping power of silica gel. In this research, the production of silica gel begins with the washing of fly ash using HCl. Next, NaOH is added with varying concentrations of 1.5 N, 2.5 N, 3.5 N, and 4.5 N. The formed Na2SiO3 is then mixed with H2SO4 of 3 N concentration, with aging times of 12 hours, 15 hours, and 18 hours. The highest yield of silica gel is 49.61% at a NaOH concentration of 4.5 N and an aging time of 15 hours. The highest water vapor adsorption capacity of the silica gel is 883.00 mg/g at a NaOH concentration of 3.5 N and an aging time of 15 hours. SEM-EDX characterization results indicate a diverse morphology and size for both fly ash and silica gel. The SiO2 content in fly ash is 41.64%, while in silica gel, it is 41.42%. FTIR characterization of fly ash and silica gel reveals the presence of functional groups such as silanol (Si-O), siloxane (Si-O-Si), and hydroxyl (Si-OH) which are active sites in silica gel.

Abstract

Batteries are single-use energy. Battery waste disposed on the ground will produce waste that is difficult to decompose naturally. Batteries contain chemicals that are toxic to soil fertility, such as potassium and sodium. One way to utilize battery waste is to turn it into bio-batteries. This research aims to minimize the waste of batteries and kepok banana peels that are underutilized by making environmentally friendly bio-batteries. This study also determines the voltage, current, and power of kepok banana skin-based bio-batteries. The method used is to conduct biobattery trials using paste from kepok banana peels. The results showed that kepok banana peels could conduct electricity to be used as a paste for bio-battery. The most significant voltage generated is 1.38 volts, while the largest current generated is 0.95 A. This bio-battery can last an average of 3 days 8 hours or 92.5 hours.

Abstract

Glucose is a simple sugar that can be used as an sucrose alternative. Rumbia starch is rich in carbohydrates and abundant in Indonesia, potentially being used as a raw material for the production of glucose powder. The process involves starch hydrolysis, evaporation, and drying. The purpose of this study was to obtain optimal conditions of reducing sugar content, evaporation, and drying temperature based on variations in starch and water ratio (1:3, 1:4, 1:5, and 1:6), evaporation temperature (100 °C and 115 °C), and drying temperature (50 °C, and 70 °C). From this study, the optimal ratio of starch and water was 1:4 with a reduced sugar content of 99,77%. The optimal evaporation temperature was 115 °C, the brix content obtained is 85%, and the optimal drying temperature was 70°C, the water content obtained is 3,60%. Based on SNI of glucose, the glucose powder products meet the standard for water content and ash content. However, only in the ratio of starch and water 1:4 and 1:5, the reducing sugar content met the SNI of glucose.

Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is biomaterial from bacterial fermentation that contain high purity of cellulose, but 90% of BC pellicles retained water from the fermentation process. In this study, BC was modified with glycerol immersion in different concentrations (0%; 2,5%; 5%; 7,5%; 10%). For wide application, water content on BC must be removed by drying. Various oven drying condition are temperature 80 °C and 120 °C and time 60 minutes. The physical and mechanical properties of the dried BC biofilm were determined including tensile strength and elasticity. BC biofilm bound was identified by FTIR and EDX. The results showed that glycerol concentration was able to increase biofilm elasticity from 3.46% to 27.743%. However, glycerol immersion above 7.5% caused a decrease in the tensile strength of BC biofilm. The drying variation of 120 °C produces the highest tensile strength of 7.161 MPa when soaked in 7.5% glycerol. The drying variation of 80 °C produced a biofilm with the best elasticity of 27.473%. The results of FTIR and EDX analysis confirmed that there were differences in the contents of the modified BC.

Abstract

Plate and Frame Heat Exchanger (PFHE) is a plate and frame type heat exchanger that is efficient and effective in improving energy efficiency. Research using PFHE aims to determine the effect of increasing the flow rate of hot fluid on heat exchanger performance. This research was conducted at a flow rate variation of 0.7 L/min, 0.9 L/min, 1.1 L/min, 1.3 L/min, 1.5 L/min, 1.7 L/min, and 1.8 L/min with 180 seconds of testing each variation and recording data every 2 seconds. The cold fluid used is tap water and the hot fluid used is distilled water. The results showed that with the increase in hot fluid flow rate, the performance of PFHE also increased because the effectiveness of NTU (Ɛ-NTU) increased. The Ɛ-NTU value of unidirectional flow is 25.37% - 44.87% and in the opposite direction 37% - 68.39%. The largest Ɛ-NTU value in the countercurrent flow indicates that the countercurrent flow is more effective than the unidirectional flow. In addition, increasing the flow rate increases the Reynold's number (Nre) and Nusselt's number (Nu) which indicates the greatest convection heat transfer occurs at the highest flow rate.
