Abstract

Oil contamination presents a major challenge to wastewater treatment systems due to its detrimental effects. This research explores the effectiveness of activated carbon derived from tamarind fruit shells as an adsorbent for removing oil from wastewater. The activated carbon was prepared using three different chemical agents: phosphoric acid, zinc chloride, and sodium hydroxide. Characterization of the resulting carbon materials was performed using XRD, FTIR, SEM, and BET analysis. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of initial oil concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time, temperature, and pH. The BET specific surface area, pore size and total pore volume for the optimum adsorption capacity of activated carbon using H3PO4 are obtained at 617.59 m2.g-1, 37.14 cm3.g-1 and 0.812 g.g-1, respectively. Optimal adsorption occurred at an oil concentration of 5000 mg.L-1, a dosage of 1 g.L-1, a contact time of 60 minutes, a temperature of 60°C, and neutral pH (7). Across all activating agents, the Langmuir isotherm best described the adsorption equilibrium, while adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model. Among the samples, activated carbon treated with H3PO4 demonstrated the highest adsorption capacity (1070 mg.g-1), followed by ZnCl2 (879 mg.g-1), and NaOH (643 mg.g-1). These results indicate that tamarind shell-derived activated carbon is a cost-effective and efficient solution for oil removal in wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract

The selection of purification technology for upgrading biogas to biomethane involves complex considerations, as each technology -such as pressure swing adsorption (PSA), membrane separation (MS), or chemical absorption (CA) - offers distinct advantages and disadvantages. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), provides a systematic framework to simplify and resolve such complexities. This research aims to apply AHP to critically compare purification technologies for biomethane. AHP method is implemented in four steps which includes determination of AHP structure (goal, criteria, sub-criteria and alternatives), formation of pairwise comparison matrices based on literature study and expert opinion, normalization and consistency calculation, and prioritization of alternatives. The criteria considered in AHP analysis of this study are technology capacity, cost, and environmental impact. Overall, PSA received the highest weight for state of technology. In terms of separation performance, CA achieved the highest scores for methane purity and methane retention. From a cost and environmental impact perspective, MS performed best.  However, despite its advantages, MS application is limited by its relatively lower maturity and limited scalability.  By evaluating alternatives based on AHP framework, PSA was identified as the top-priority option, with total weight score of 0.426, followed by MS with total weight score of 0.387 and CA with total weight score of 0.181. This study has successfully demonstrate the application of AHP to select purification technologies for converting biogas to biomethane.

Abstract

Asphalt is an aggregate binder in road pavement construction derived from the residue of the petroleum fractionation process, a non-renewable natural resource. Reliance on petroleum asphalt leads to resource scarcity and increased production costs. One alternative to reduce this dependence is the use of bio-asphalt substitutes, which utilize renewable natural resources derived from biomass. The abundance of biomass such as coconut shells, sawdust, and coffee husk in East Java, Indonesia, makes it a promising resource for bio-asphalt synthesis. This study analyzes the effect of biomass types and catalyst mass ratios on the characteristics of bio-asphalt from bio-oil pyrolysis and its mixture with petroleum asphalt, specifically the penetration (pen) 60/70. The research stages include biomass preparation, zeolite catalyst activation, biomass pyrolysis into bio-oil, evaporation into bio-asphalt, and mixture analysis. Optimal characteristics were achieved using a 6% w/w coconut shell biomass catalyst, resulting in a bio-oil yield of 47.27% and a density of 1.060 g/mL. The bio-asphalt yield was 3.41% when mixed with petroleum asphalt pen 60/70. The bio-asphalt exhibited a penetration value of 66.35, a softening point of 52°C, and a density of 1.042 g/cm³, in accordance with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 8135:2015.

Abstract

The escalating volume of plastic-based medical mask waste, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, presents an urgent environmental challenge that can be addressed through sustainable valorization. This study proposes a novel, integrated approach by evaluating the effectiveness of a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) temperature control system to minimize thermal fluctuations critical for consistent product selectivity of the pyrolysis process. A rigorous comparative evaluation of the Cohen-Coon (CC) and Internal Model Control (IMC) tuning methods demonstrated IMC's superiority, achieving a significantly shorter settling time of 114 minutes and a low overshoot of 0.45, ensuring stable isothermal operation. Pyrolysis process conducted under this optimized control condition (at 250°C for 5 hours) resulted in high liquid fuel yields and improved physical characteristics (density 785.8 kg/m3, viscosity 1.546 cSt). Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) confirmed that the liquid fuel exhibits hydrocarbon fractions highly similar to commercial kerosene and diesel. These findings underscore that the precision of the IMC-PID method is the key technical enabler for enhancing both process stability and the subsequent quality and yield of valuable liquid fuel derived from medical mask waste.

Abstract

Microalgae Navicula sp. TAD is a microscopic plant that has the potential to serve as an alternative source of pigments, requiring relatively short cultivation time, making it suitable for use as a sensitizer in dye-sensitized solar cells. This research aimed to isolate, characterize, and identify the photosynthetic pigments of Navicula sp. TAD, and subsequently test its photoelectric capability as a sensitizer material in solar cells. The study involved cultivating Navicula sp. TAD cells to obtain biomass, isolating pigments from dry biomass, purifying pigments using column chromatography techniques, characterizing pigments by scanning visible light absorption patterns, and fabricating solar cells with TiO2 paste, followed by testing the photoelectric capabilities of the solar cells. From the research, pigments such as β-carotene, chlorophyll a, xanthophyll, and chlorophyll c were obtained, with chlorophyll a and carotenoid contents of 29.9698 μg/mL and 18.4255 μg/mL, respectively. Solar cells sensitized with photosynthetic pigments showed the best photoelectric performance with crude pigment extract at a concentration of 30×10³ ppm, yielding Short-circuit current density (ISC) 1.93×10⁻⁵ A;  open-circuit voltage (VOC) 0.0465 V; fill factor (FF).58; and efficiency (η) 8.33×10⁻² %. Meanwhile, variations in pigment concentration of chlorophyll and xanthophyll at a ratio of 0:100 yielded ISC 9.96×10⁻⁵ A; VOC 0.1004 V; FF 0.45; and η 7.24×10⁻¹ %.

Abstract

Recently, fossil fuels have still become a main source of energy and chemicals. Biomass conversion has become a promising technology to convert biomass into bio-energy and bio-chemicals. Kelakai, as a potential biomass, is abundant in wetland areas such as Kalimantan (Indonesia) and many other Asian regions, so that low-rank coal (lignite). Co-pyrolysis, the combined pyrolysis of biomass and lignite, is an attractive technique considering to its potential to enhance the efficiency of pyrolysis products. In this study, the thermal decomposition behavior and kinetic of co-pyrolysis of kelakai and lignite at various mass ratio composition (1:0, 3:1, 1:1, 1:3, and 0:1) were investigated. The experiments were performed on a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The TGA result indicated that the kelakai highly decomposed at 257-400℃, while lignite was 286-500℃. Their blends were in between. In addition, thermogravimetric data were subsequently applied to a kinetic analysis based on the Arrhenius equation, with a first-order reaction. The kinetic analysis results, including activation energy and pre-exponential factor, were determined for the kelakai and lignite mixture were found to be in the range of 10.22-10.98 kJ/mol and 0.0651-0.1351 min-1, respectively. Knowledge of thermal decomposition characteristics of kelakai and its kinetics is essential for optimizing pyrolysis design. The co-pyrolysis kelakai and lignite resulted in the highest bio-oil yield of  26.86 wt% at the ratio of  0:1 and the lowest yield of 12.51 wt% for the ratio of 1:0, when using mixed ratios of kelakai and lignite, the highest yield was 24.60% (1:3) and the lowest yield was 21.18 wt% (1:1).

Abstract

The growing demand for alternative fuels has highlighted biodiesel as sustainable substitute for fossil diesel. In this study, biodiesel was produced from sunflower seed oil using heterogeneous catalyst synthesized from natural kaolin into sodalite via hydrothermal process. The synthesized catalyst was characterized using XRD, FTIR and SEM-EDS, confirming the transformation of kaolinite to sodalite. The transesterification reaction was conducted under varying methanol-to-oil molar ratios (1:12, 1:18, and 1:24) and temperatures (60, 65, and 70°C). A Taguchi orthogonal array (L9) was employed to statistically evaluate the effects of these parameters on methyl ester yield. Experimental results showed that both methanol ratio and reaction temperature significantly influenced biodiesel yield, with the highest yield of 90.44% obtained at 70°C and 1:18 molar ratio. Signal-to-noise ratio and ANOVA analysis indicated that the methanol-to-oil ratio was the most dominant factor (46.05%) compared to temperature (40.55%). The resulting biodiesel exhibited a flash point of 158°C, acid value of 0.06 mg-KOH/g, and iodine value of 84.06 g-I₂/100g, satisfying most ASTM D6751 and SNI 7182:2015 standards, though viscosity and density exceeded standard limits. Emission testing showed 16% reduction in CO emissions with increasing biodiesel blends, while NO and NOx emissions slightly increased.

Abstract

Matoa fruit is abundant in Papua and has not been optimally utilised. Matoa fruit consists of ash approximately 3.74%. The high ash and silica content make it highly suitable as a raw material for zeolite production. Zeolite can be used as a zeolite material to adsorb heavy metal Cu(II). Heavy metal pollution continues to increase with industrial growth. Heavy metals can harm human health. Innovation must continue addressing heavy metal pollution, such as Cu(II), to produce more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly technologies. This study aims to determine the ability of matoa fruit zeolite to adsorb heavy metal Cu(II). The characterization of zeolite was done using XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). The synthesis process involved preparing sodium aluminate and sodium silicate solutions, followed by controlled crystallisation at 105°C for 24 hours. The zeolites were tested for adsorption with the independent variable being zeolite mass, while the dependent variables were contact time of 48 hours and stirring time of 4 hours. SEM analysis confirmed the cubic morphological characteristics of matoa fruit zeolite, classifying the product as matoa fruit zeolite. The main findings of the study showed that matoa fruit zeolite can reduce Cu metal levels in sewage-polluted water with 88.85% adsorption at 0.5 g in 50 ml of test solution.
