Abstract

Alkyl plyglycosides (APG) is a nonionic surfactant which is environmentally friendly. Carbohidrate source as APG’s raw material supplied the hydrophilic group, and fatty alcohol acted as hydrophobic group. Some undesirable compounds formed during the APG synthesis and caused dark color. In direct synthesis, D-glucose reacts directly with decanol in molar ratio of D-glucose:decanol is 1:5 and 0,5 % of HCl as catalist based on weight of D-glucose for 1 hour at reaction temperature about 95 oC. And then the solution is neutralized with NaOH 50 % on pH 8-10. Added activated carbon with variation 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 % based on weight of solution at adsorption temperature with variation 30, 40, dan 50 oC, then filtrate and distilate the solution at vacuum condition. Product is analized using spectroscopy fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and spectroscopy UV-Vis. The highest percent of transmittance is about 44,90 % obtained at adsorption temperature 50 oC and amount of activated carbon 3 %.

Abstract

The purpose of this research are to study the effect of sugarcane bagasse powder concentration, hydrolysis temperature and time on the yield of glucose and the level of glucose by recycle vinasse process. Raw sugarcane bagasse as primary material was obtained from sugarcane juice shop. Observed variabels were concentration of sugarcane bagasse, hydrolysis time and temperature. Sugarcane bagasse is powdered by blender and then mixed with aquadest (2,94; 3,85; 4,76%) and hydrolized in the hydrolysis tank. The hydrolysis process occured at 1, 1,5 and 2 hours and temperature 135, 150 and 165°C. The hydrolysis products were tested for its glucose, lignin and cellulose composition. After that, the product was fermented in order to produce bioethanol. The fermented product was filtered for its vinasse and it will be used as the feed of hydrolysis recycle process. Result showed that yield of glucose increases as the increase of sugarcane bagasse powder concentration, hydrolysis time and temperature. But, yield of glucose increases from 1 until 1,5 hour of hydrolysis time and then decreases from 1,5 to 2 hour of hydrolysis time. The highest yield of glucose (31,022%) was obtained at concentration 2,94%, 165 °C and 2 hours of hydrolysis time. Lignin and cellulose level fluctuated as the increasing of hydrolysis temperature. This might be caused by the non-uniform composition by the raw materials.

Abstract

Curcumin is a pigment in Curcuma domestica Valet, which has an orange-yellow crystal appearance, and commonly being used as a colouring agent. Extraction method which is used in extracting curcumin from Curcuma domestica Valet is one stage extraction. This research studied a multi stages extraction of curcumin from Curcuma domestica Valet. The purposes of this research is to find the best condition in extracting curcumin using multi stages extraction method, to increase the efficiency rate in curcumin extraction. This research used ethanol as a solvent, and effect from variables such as extraction time, solvent concentration, and number of extraction stages are observed. Extraction times are 60 minutes, 120 minutes, and 180 minutes. Variations of ethanol concentration are 50%, 70%, and 96%. Stage numbers of extraction are two stages extraction and three stages extraction. Extracts of curcumin are examined with qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis. The best condition of multi stages curcumin extraction is determined based on yield and content of curcumin. The maximum yield obtained in this study was 12% with conditions 180 minutes extraction time, 96% ethanol concentration, and two stages extraction. The highest content of curcumin obtained is 16% with conditions 180 minutes extraction time, 96% ethanol concentration, and three stages extraction. Content means a fraction of yield. These results show that increase in extraction time, solvent concentration, and stage numbers of extraction will increase the yield and content of curcumin extracted from Curcuma domestica Valet.

Abstract

Bioplastics are plastics which can be degraded by microorganisms and is made from renewable materials. Plastic film is made from potato starch (contain of starch that founded in potatoes is 22-28%), glycerol as a plasticizer and acetic acid as a catalyst. The purpose of this reasearch is to determine glycerol variation and starch weight effect on the characteristics of potato starch plastic films. Manufacture of plastic films use blending starch method with potato starch weight variations (10 g, 15 g and 20 g) and glycerol volume variations (0 ml, 1 ml, 2 ml and 3 ml). Bioplastic analysis are FTIR test, tensile strength that is supported by SEM analysis. The results obtained in the FTIR analysis does not form a new cluster on potato starch plastic film, neither on the plastic film with or without glycerol. FTIR results obtained in two plastic film are the change of OH, C = C, and CH groups strain. The strain value of OH group on potato starch is 3579.88 cm-1 turned into 2978.09 cm-1 for plastic film without glycerol while the plastic film with glycerol to be 3541.31 cm -1 and 2970.38 cm-1. C = C group is 1635.64 cm-1turned to 1697.36 cm -1 and 1697.36 cm -1. As for CH group is 2873.79 cm -1 turned to 2877.79 cm -1 and 2870.08 cm -1. And tensile strength of plastic film decreased with increasing glycerol volume. Maximum tensile strength of plastic film occurs when potato starch weight is 10 g and glycerol volume is 0 ml is 9.397 MPa. While SEM results obtained confirm on tensile strength plastic film, where there are voids, indentations and insoluble starch clump starch that can affect the value of tensile strength plastic film.

Abstract

Eucalyptus urophylla plants (family: Myrtaceae, order: Myrtales ) usually are used only wooden parts for the manufacture of frames, pulp and paper, whereas their leaves can be used to produce essential oils in the pharmaceutical usage. The aim of this research is to extract the essential oils from leaves of Eucalyptus urophylla with soxhlet extraction method, in order to obtain maximum recovery of essential oils with good quality. Prior to the extraction process, the fresh leaves of Eucalyptus urophylla were reduced so that its size become 1 × 1 cm, and then dried in an oven at a temperature of 70 °C for 1 hour after being wrapped in a filter paper, after that followed by the extraction of the leaves using a variety of solvents, namely 96 % ethanol, n-hexane and dichloromethane, then proceed with the analysis of essential oil products (cineol content analysis). In this study, experiments were conducted with a variety of treatments such as the ratio of the volume of solvent to yield, the ratio of the mass of leaves of Eucalyptus urophylla to the yield on 5 cycles , and temperature of the solvent to yield. The conclusions of this research are the best extraction results with maximum cineol value (29.17 %) was obtained using dichloromethane solvent, while using 96 % ethanol produced the maximum yield of extract.

Abstract

By using a semi-efficient vulcanization system, Alkanolamide (ALK) was incorporated into kaolin-filled natural rubber compound at 1.0; 3.0; 5.0 and 7.0 parts per hundred rubber (phr). An investigation was carried out to examine the effect of ALK on tensile properties of the kaolin filled-natural rubber compound. It was found that ALK exhibited higher tensile modulus, tensile strength, and elongation at break up to 5.0 phr of ALK loading and then decreased with further increasing of ALK loading. Crosslink density measurement proved that 5.0 phr loading of ALK in the kaolin-filled natural rubber system exhibited greatest tensile properties due to its highest crosslink density formation.

Abstract

Rice husk is material waste that is usually just burned. However, this practice is causing air pollution problems. One effort to help overcome the problem of agricultural waste is recycling technique with an emphasis on the process of composting. Many efforts can be made ​​to speed the composting process. The treatment was performed by the addition of slurry at the beginning of composting process with the addition of as much as 1, 2,and 3 liters and the addition of slurry during composting process by adding 0,5;1; and 1,5liters of slurry every 3 days once. At each treatment was added 1 kg of fine compost. The condition which almost meets quality compost by SNI 19-7030-2004 and most precocious and decomposesis the compost with the addition of as much as 1, 5 liters every 3 days where the temperature is 32,8 oC obtained, the water level is 35,1,99 %, the ratio of C / N is 7.58 and pH is 9,59. This thing indicates that the slurry from biogas fermentor can accelerate the maturity of compost making so that it is more easily broken down or decomposed.
