Abstract

The use of Nata De Soya prepared from soybean wastewater as an adsorbent on magnesium (Mg2+) and calcium(Ca2+) cations caused hard water in the boiler raw water at PT. SMART Tbk has been studied. Nata De Soya has been activated with H2SO4 1N before use as an adsorbent for Mg2+ and Ca2+ cations in the boiler raw water. The study resulted demonstrated that the optimum mass of adsorbent to adsorb Ca2+cation was 2.5 g with adsorption capacity at 60.64%. Meanwhile, the optimum mass of adsorbent to adsorb Mg2+cation was 2.0 g with the adsorption capacity at 66.34%. The regenerated Nata De Soya adsorbent has been also studied to adsorb Ca2+and Mg2+ cations. In other aspects, the percentage of Ca2+ and Mg2+ cations decrease by 9.27% and 9.47%, respectively after Nata De Soya treatment to the boiler raw water.

Abstract

The effect of pyrolysis temperature on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and organic acid compounds from oil palm shell liquid smoke has been successfully conducted. In this study, variations of temperature were used at 600 to 950ºC with temperature intervals at 50ºC. Liquid smokes obtained were characterized using GC-MS and FTIR. The GC-MS and FT-IR analysis results showed the presence of organic acid compounds such as acetic acid and propanoic acid. In contrast, no found polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) compounds. The higher the pyrolysis temperature involved the higher the organic acid contents.

Abstract

Preparation of edible films from the peel of sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis L.) has been done by the addition of tapioca starch and glycerol as plasticizers. Edible films are made by mixing pectin and starch with 0.6; 1.2; 1.8; 2.4; dan 3.0 g variations, by adding glycerin with a fixed composition of 1 mL. Once homogeneous, printed on an acrylic plate and dried at 35 to 45ºC temperature in an oven for 2 days. Characterization of edible film physically by measuring thickness, tensile strength, and elongation. From the characterization obtained thickness 0.125 mm, tensile strength 0.32 kgF / mm2 and elongation 10.2 %. Analysis of nutrient content of edible film produces 75.583% carbohydrate content, 1.707 % protein content, 0.725 % fat content, 21.2 % moisture content, and 0,785 % ash content. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectrum analysis with absorption at 3603.03 cm-1 range showed hydroxyl group (OH), absorption at 2985.81 cm-1 and 2870,08 cm-1 ranges showed alkane group (CH), absorption at 1759.08 cm-1 range showed (C=O) group of carboxyl acid and absorption at 1168,86 cm-1, 1126.43 cm-1 dan 1064.71 cm-1 ranges showed (C-O) groups of carboxyl acid. Morphology test of SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) produces edible film is a flat, tight, and compatible surface structure. Antioxidant activities tests with the DPPH method produce an IC50 value of 49.667 mg/L. Antibacterial activities tests with Kirby Bauer method produce positive tests in Staphylococcus aureus bacterial with antimicrobial index 0.374 and Escherichia coli bacterial 0.337 and Standart count Plate test in the edible film as layer cake wrapping is obtained the colony numbers less than layer cake without edible film wrapping.

Abstract

Isolation and characterization of cellulose nanocrystal from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB), obtained from PTPN IV Adolina, by hydrolysis method using 54% sulfuric acid have been done. The isolation process was carried out in two stages; i.e. α-cellulose insulation from OPEFB, followed by isolation of cellulose nanocrystal from α-cellulose. OPEFB was de-lignification with 3.5% nitric acid and sodium nitrite, then the residue was treated with 17,5% sodium hydroxide, and bleached with H2O2 10%. Isolation of Cellulose nanocrystal was done using 54% sulfuric acid. The result of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis shows that the diameter of cellulose nanocrystal is 66,6 nm. FTIR spectra show the C-O-C stretch of α-cellulose and cellulose nanocrystal at 1141 cm-1, which indicates that there is glycoside bonding in the compound structure. The peak near 3200-3490 cm-1 is representative of the C-H and O-H groups. TGA curves show that α-cellulose occurs to decompose at around 315ºC, while cellulose nanocrystal occurs to decompose at 163ºC. The amount of char residue at 500°C in cellulose nanocrystal was remarkably higher compared to α-cellulose i.e. 30.5% and 7.2% respectively.

Abstract

Asphalt emulsion is a mixture of asphalt (55% - 65%), water (35% - 45%) and emulsifier material (1% - 2%). This research studied the effect of adding surfactant tween 80 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono-oleate) on the viscosity and activation energy. The research data was obtained by mixing asphalt, surfactant tween 80, and water and then heated at a certain temperature and viscosity values were measured using a Brookfield Viscosimetre at 500 rpm. The results show that the viscosity and the activation energy increase with the addition of surfactant tween 80: η = -49,82380 cp end Ea = 9,18452154 kJ/mol

The research about the effect of the addition of nano crystal cellulose (NCC) isolated from empty palm bunches (EPB) on the morphological and mechanical properties of natural rubber latex products was successfully conducted. This research was carried out in three steps: i.e isolation of α-cellulose from EPB, followed by isolation NCCs from α-cellulose using H2SO4 48.84% at 45ºC for 25 minutes, and manufacture of latex compound with varying filler NCC were 0, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, and 3.0. Manufacturing of natural rubber product was made with pour the NRL followed by vulcanized at 120ºC for 30 minutes. The sheet of NRL product was produced later characterized its mechanical properties through tensile test and surface morphology analysis by SEM. The optimum value of the tensile test result of the NRL product sheet was at the addition of 1,2 phr of NCC with values of tensile test, elongation at break, and Young’s modulus was 3.771 MPa, 877%, and 0.430 Mpa respectively. In addition, surface morphology analysis showed that the NCC was spread evenly.

Abstract

The research about comparison study of fabrication and characterization of bead chitosan hydrogel and yarn chitosan hydrogel from high molecular chitosan has been successfully conducted. High molecular chitosan was dissolved into 100 ml of 1, 1.5, and 2% of acetic acid and stirred until the chitosan was dissolved completely. The formed chitosan solution was then taken as much as 6 mL using a syringe and dropped slowly to form small beads into a Petri dish containing NaOH 0.3 M then string into a Petri dish containing acetone 1% and dried at ±50ºC. The bead chitosan hydrogel and yarn chitosan hydrogen results were characterized in which differences of functional groups on chitosan with beads chitosan hydrogel and yarn chitosan hydrogel that occurred in the highest spectra peaks was the band at 3433.29 cm-1, which indicated NH groups on chitosan had changed into an O-H group (3653.18 cm-1) on the bead chitosan hydrogels 1% and yarn chitosan hydrogel 1% which showed the existence of chemical interactions. The yarn chitosan hydrogel has better absorption capability compared to bead chitosan hydrogel. Due to the surface area of the chitosan yarn hydrogel being wider than the beads' chitosan hydrogel.

Abstract

The research on fabrication and characterization of high molecular chitosan film with hydrogel gelatin has been successfully conducted. High molecular chitosan was dissolved in a solution of 1% acetic acid and gelatin was dissolved with aquadest at ± 60 ºC. The formed chitosan and gelatin solution was poured into the glass plate glass and then dried in an oven at ± 50ºC for 24 hours. Volume number variations of chitosan and gelatin solution were 25% : 75%, 50% : 50%, 75% : 25%, respectively.The formed chitosan was characterized using tensile test, SEM, and FT-IR analysis. The tensile test results showed that film chitosan with no gelatin was 1.280 Mpa compared to the ratio between chitosan solution and gelatin solution were 25%: 75, 50%: 50%, and 75%: 25% which tensile test results were 2.156, 2.840, and 9.604 Mpa, respectively. The FTIR test also showed the difference between chitosan and chitosan-gelatin film functional groups where the band at 3433.29 cm-1, which indicated N-H groups of chitosan and changed to be OH groups in chitosan-gelatin film at 3653.18 cm-1 bands. This study also found that three films produced a relatively smooth surface and not rough.
