Abstract

Biodiesel is one of the solutions to the many uses of fossil fuels. Biodiesel itself is a fuel derived from vegetable oil (plant or vegetable fat) called biofuel. In this study, biodiesel used is based on sunan candlenut. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum time conditions (1.5; 2; 2.5 hours) and the comparison of solvents with candlenut (0.25; 0.2; 0.17) in the manufacture of candlenut oil, as well as knowing the process of making biodiesel. The method used is the manufacture of hazelnut oil by extraction using Soxhlet. The resulting oil was esterified using methanol with sulfuric acid catalyst at a reaction temperature of 60 0C for 60 minutes. The volume ratio between oil and methanol is 4: 1 followed by transesterification at 50 0C for 30 minutes. In the research, the results were optimum time and the number of solvents for good extraction at 2 hours and the ratio of solvents to hazelnut was 0.17. The resulting biodiesel density was 0.82 gr / ml, viscosity was 4.07Cp, FFA value was 1.4%, and the saponification rate was 274.4. From these data it can be said that the Biodiesel produced is approaching the Indonesian National Standard.

Abstract

Coconut (Cocos nucifera) is one of the most abundant tropical plants in Indonesia. It is proven that in 2020 the total area of coconut plantations in Indonesia reached 3,377,376 hectares. Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is one of the diversified coconut products with high commercial value. In this study, the production of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) was carried out by fermenting tempeh yeast and with the help of the bromelain enzyme as a catalyst. This is because the bromelain enzyme is a type of protease enzyme that acts as a protein breaker in the oil contained in the coconut milk emulsion. Research has shown that the concentration of the bromelain enzyme affects the yield of VCO. Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) with the addition of 6 grams of bromelain enzyme, 30 hours of fermentation time, and the use of 2 grams of tempeh yeast resulted in the highest yield value of 9.2% and free fatty acids (FFA) of 0.21%. This is because the higher the bromelain enzyme concentration, the more it will bind to protein as a substrate. In addition, the longer the fermentation, the more hydrolysis that occurs in the oil, so that the fermentation time also affects the concentration of free fatty acids of VCO. Analysis of fatty acid content was carried out using the GCMS method and showed that the highest fatty acid content was lauric acid at 54.27%. While the physical characterization of the resulting VCO is in accordance with SNI 7381:2018, which has a distinctive smell of coconut aroma, a distinctive taste of coconut oil, and is colorless.

Abstract

The process of making water emulsion in palm oil biodiesel is assisted by using two types of surfactants with different HLB values, namely Tween 80 and Span 80. This study aims to determine the characteristics of palm oil biodiesel emulsion made using a homogenizer with different HLB values, surfactant composition and water content in each sample. Density, viscosity, stability and microscopy tests were carried out to determine the characteristics of palm oil biodiesel emulsion. The results were obtained in the form of the highest density and viscosity values found in samples with high HLB values, surfactant composition and water content, while for stability test results were found in samples with low HLB values, surfactant composition and low water content. This shows that the difference in the value of HLB used will affect the amount of surfactant composition and moisture content in the sample composition and will affect the density, viscosity and stability of the palm oil biodiesel emulsion formed.

Abstract

Industrial wastewater is a source of water pollution that dominates today. Wastewater is known to cause damage to the environment, health and threatens the availability of clean water. Industrial wastewater is a problem because it contains a lot of dangerous heavy metals, one of which is Lead or Pb(II).' Adsorption technology has become one of the most exciting technologies because of its good performance. Adsorption media currently popular for the study is adsorption using agricultural waste. One of the agricultural wastes that can be used as biosorbent is grapefruit peel (Citrus maxima). The functional groups in grapefruit peel are ether, pedophilic, carboxyl, carbonyl, and hydroxyl. These functional groups are essential in binding heavy metals from the aquatic environment. In this study, grapefruit peel was modified into a Ca-alginate immobilized biosorbent. The analyzes that will be carried out include the characteristics of the biosorbent, namely the water content and ash content test, the FTIR test to determine the functional groups contained in the biosorbent, the SEM-EDX test to assess the appearance of the biosorbent, as well as analysis of the initial and final levels of Pb(II). Based on the results obtained, the best percentage decrease in Pb(II) levels was obtained with operating conditions of pH 4.7, contact time of 90 minutes, and Pb(II) concentration of 100 mg/L with a percentage decrease in Pb(II) levels of 89%.

Abstract

In the last ten years, the batik industry has experienced very rapid growth. This provides benefits but also has adverse effects on humans and the environment because the sector generates waste. Batik liquid waste contains chemical compounds that can increase the COD value. Alternative treatment of liquid waste from batik factories is the biosorption process using biosorbent from chicken egg shells and tea dregs. This study aimed to investigate the effect of variations in the biosorbent ratio, contact time, and initial pH of the sample on changes in COD. In this study, the acid activation method was used to increase the ability of the biosorbent to absorb the COD content in the batik industry wastewater. This research method uses the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) method, where the biosorbent made is then contacted with batik wastewater to determine the decrease in COD levels contained in it. The critical value was achieved when the material ratio was 12.3270 grams of eggshell, with a contact time of 47.1281 at a pH of 1.71281. The best results were obtained in sample 5 with a biosorbent ratio of 11.25:3.75, contact time of 50 minutes, and initial pH 2 with a decrease in COD levels of 77%.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the characteristics and optimization of biodegradable films based on pectin from breadfruit peel. The study was employed using a factorial design with multiple variables: pectin (2 and 4 grams), sorbitol concentration (10% and 20%) and drying temperature (1200C and 1400C) were studied. The results obtained from eight samples showed that the water vapor transmission rate was in the range of 3.525 - 6.952 g/m2.day. The best-achieved water vapor transmission rate (3,525 g/m2.day) was obtained at specific operating conditions, namely 4 grams of pectin, 20% of sorbitol concentration and drying temperature of 1400C. In this study, the most influential factor for water vapor transmission rate is pectin weight with the value effect of -1.238. The highest tensile strength test and percentage elongation were 116.55 kgf/cm2 and 10%, respectively. The FTIR analysis showed that the pectin from breadfruit peel was according to commercial pectin standard, by the presence of OH and ester (COOH) groups. The SEM Analysis showed  that the molecular structure of edible films did not look porous, dense, but not flat on its surface, thus less permeable to air.
