Abstract

Indonesian commercial biodiesel products are unstable due to polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). The urea inclusion compound (UIC) method is used during the fractionation process on PUFA to enhance its quality. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature, fatty acid ester metal (FAME)/methanol ratio, and crystallization time on increasing the concentration of PUFA concentrates and to produce high-performance biodiesel products with an iodine indicator <30–40 g I2/100 g. According to the most recent research, the UCF phase product is obtained at a combination of temperature and crystallization time of 20 °C and 4 h, respectively. It has an iodine number of 44.01 and an oxidation stability of 18.61 h, which is close to the criteria for high-performance biodiesel (<30 –40 g I2/100 g). Meanwhile, the results of this study obtained a UCF phase product that has an iodine number of 34.18 and yields 86.57% is obtained at a combination of temperature and crystallization time of 20 °C and 6 hr and FAME-methanol ratio of 6, respectively, which is close to the criteria for high-performance biodiesel (<30 –40 g I2/100 g). The longer complexation time and temperature significantly affected the FAME fractionation of the UCF phase.

Abstract

The practice of coal mining has been demonstrated to exert a detrimental impact on the surrounding environment, particularly through the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD) ponds, which have the potential to pollute water sources. The reclamation of AMD is necessary to treat wastewater to ensure its safety for discharge into the environment and subsequent use as clean water. This study aims to treat AMD by comparing ultrafiltration (UF) and pervaporation (PV) processes utilizing silica-pectin multichannel membranes. The membranes were fabricated by coating silica-pectin sol on an inner surface of multichannel tubular support. The UF process was conducted under various pressures (1-3 bar), while the PV process was tested at various feed temperatures. Both permeate were collected and analyzed using several parameters (pH, Mn, and conductivity). The results showed that the UF process is more effective in collecting permeate flux over 136.6 L.h-1.m-2 at 3 bar pressure. Meanwhile, PV performs high permeate quality with Mn and conductivity rejection of 99.9 and 96.5%, respectively. Both UF and PV processes exhibit slightly increasing permeate pH with a range of 4.5-5.6. It concluded that multichannel silica-pectin membranes successfully reclamation AMD to enhance water quality. In addition, the UF process is more affordable for recycling AMD with high permeate flux, pretty good Mn, and conductivity rejection of over 95%.

Abstract

The transition towards sustainable offshore oil and gas operations is increasingly important given the declining conventional energy reserves and growing environmental concerns. This research developed a concept design to enhance sustainability in offshore operations by integrating local solar and wind energy sources. The proposed hybrid system combines solar energy systems and wind turbines with traditional Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs), which have traditionally relied on natural gas. The study found that incorporating these renewable energy sources into the system significantly reduces carbon emissions, lowers dependency on fossil fuels, and improves overall operational efficiency. The main conclusion of this research is that integrating local renewable energy sources into offshore operations mitigates environmental impact, offers long-term cost savings, and enhances energy security. This framework provides practical solutions for the energy sector's transition towards greener, more resilient offshore operations.

Abstract

The automotive industry manufacturing has experienced rapid growth 2–3 times by 2050, with motorcycles constituting around 30% of vehicles worldwide, but this increase in production has significantly heightened the demand for raw materials and energy. A major challenge arises in managing material waste and waste heat generated during the manufacturing process. This research aims to develop a framework that optimizes the synergy between material waste recycling and waste heat recovery to enhance the sustainability of the motorcycle industry, reduce waste, and lower energy consumption. The design leverages waste heat from the melting process to preheat raw materials, raising temperatures from around 50 °C to 350 °C before melting, thereby reducing additional energy needs, lowering emissions, and decreasing operational costs. Utilizing waste heat for preheating not only mitigates environmental impact and thermal load but also significantly improves energy efficiency, ultimately resulting in cost savings and optimized resource use. Utilizing waste heat directly for preheating raw materials has effectively lowered energy consumption by as much as 30%. This approach not only improves operational efficiency but also decreases production costs and minimizes environmental impact, offering a more sustainable solution for the manufacturing sector.

Abstract

The shrimp processing industry generates substantial waste, including shells, heads, and tails, which, if not properly managed, can contribute to significant environmental issues, such as pollution and disease transmission. This study explores the conversion of shrimp waste into chitosan, a valuable biopolymer with applications across multiple industries, by utilizing its chitin, protein, and mineral content. The extraction process involved demineralization with 1M HCl, deproteinization with 3.5% NaOH, and deacetylation with 60% NaOH. The resulting chitosan exhibited high quality, characterized by a crystal structure, white color, odorless powder form, 73.7% degree of deacetylation (DD), 64% yield, solubility in acetic acid, and water content of 1.5%. This research highlights an environmentally responsible approach to shrimp waste management, providing a method for repurposing waste into a high-value material that meets industry standards, supporting environmental sustainability and circular economy practices.
