Abstract

This research aimed at determining the optimum value between calcination temperature (X1), calcination time (X2) and %wt KF (X3) toward optimum basicity of KF/Ca-MgO catalyst. Approximately 2-4%wt KF was added to the KF/Ca-MgO catalyst using the impregnation method to assist the Ca-MgO, at 450-550 ºC and a calcination time of 2-4 hours. Furthermore, its basicity was analyzed using Tanabe's titration method. The use of Variance Analysis (ANOVA), indicated that calcination temperature (X1) factor achieved the highest basicity of KF/Ca-MgO catalyst, as indicated by its high F-value (16.46262) and low p-value (0.0067). The correlation between each operating variables and the responses were shown in a mathematical equation. The optimization value is estimated by limiting the calcination temperature from 415.9 to 584.1 ºC, with a calcination time ranging from 1.32 to 4.68 hours, and %wt KF of 1.3182 to 4.6818 % that obtained 1.18 mmol/g for the optimal catalyst basicity.

Abstract

In this present study, Nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized using the hydrothermal method and characterized using powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD), UV-vis and Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectroscopies, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX) methods. The result of the characterization indicates that the synthesized sample has a pure cubic phase of NiO with roughly spherical shape morphologies and respective estimated crystallinity and microstrain values of about 78% and 5.1. Test of the photocatalytic activity of the synthesized sample towards the model contaminant dye methylene blue (MB) shows a degradation efficiency of 46% in a period of 2 h under nature sunlight irradiation at natural pH and that the reaction could satisfactorily describe both pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. So, this synthesis method may potentially be used for the effective elimination of toxic organic pollutants from water and wastewater over prolonged exposure under natural sunlight without adding any oxidant or adjusting the pH of the reaction medium.

Abstract

Scrap printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the most abundant wastes that can be found in the landfills in Malaysia and this disposal certainly poses serious detrimental to the environment. This research aims to investigate optimum temperature for pyrolyzing waste PCBs, find out the best catalyst to be used in accelerating PCBs’ pyrolysis, select suitable ratio of catalyst to PCBs for higher oil yield and examine kinetics pyrolysis of the waste PCBs’ decomposition. Operating temperatures ranged from 200 to 350 ˚C of PCB’s pyrolysis were conducted with the optimum temperature obtained was 275 ˚C. Fluid cata-lytic cracking (FCC) catalyst, zeolite socony mobil-5 (ZSM-5), H-Y-type zeolite and dolomite were used to accelerate PCB’s pyrolysis at 275 ˚C and FCC was identified as the best catalyst to be used. Differ-ent ratios of FCC to waste PCBs such as 10:90, 20:80, 30:70, 40:60 and 50:50 were applied in the pyro-lysis at 275 ˚C and ratio of 10:90 was selected as the suitable ratio to be utilized for maximum yield. The kinetic study was done through thermogravimetric analysis on waste PCBs under various heating rates and different particle sizes. The GC-MS analysis revealed that compounds detected in the pyro-oil have the potential to be used as fuel. © 2014 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The ring opening bulk polymerization of ε-caprolactam catalyzed by Maghnite-H+ was reported. Maghnite-H+ is a montmorillonite silicate sheet clay was prepared through a straight forward proton exchange process. The effect of the amount of catalyst, and temperature was studied. Increasing Maghnite-H+ proportion and temperature produced the increase in ε-caprolactam conversion. The kinetics indicated that the polymerization rate is first order with respect to monomer concentration. Mechanism studies showed that monomer inserted into the growing chains with the acyl–oxygen bond scission rather than the break of alkyl–oxygen bond. © 2014 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The new kinetics equation has been proposed and applied to the sorption of Cd(II) and Zn(II) onto green sorbent horse dung humic acid (HD-HA). This work aims to study the new kinetics equation and to compare its parameters with Lagergren and Ho kinetics equation in the same system. HD-HA was extracted and purified by Stevenson’s methods and then characterized by detection of its functional group, UV-Vis spectra, and total acidity. The sorption study of this work was investigated by batch experiment in pH optimum 5. Langmuir’s monolayer sorption capacity (b) of Cd(II) and Zn(II) onto HD-HA was 1.329×10-3 and 1.070×10-3 mole.g-1, respectively. Langmuir equilibrium constant (KL) of Cd(II) and Zn(II) sorption was 5,651 and 6,399 (mole/L)-1, respectively. The kinetics parameters were determined by Lagergren, Ho, and the new kinetics equation. The best linearity (R2) and the most fitted sorbed metal ion in equilibrium (xe) with the experimental data was the Ho kinetics equation. However, the correct value of sorption rate constant (ka) was not really known, because the ka resulted from Ho and Lagergren kinetics equation can not be compared with another parameter and there is no scale to measure the correctness of this value of ka. In this work, the correctness value of ka of the new kinetics equation can be measured by ka/kd equal to K, and this K should be equal to KL. The values of K of Cd(II) (3,452 (mole/L)-1) and and Zn(II) (10,898 (mole/L)-1) were quite similar with KL. Additionally, the value of intercept from linear regression of this new kinetics equation (Cd(II) = 6.8517; Zn(II) = 6.0408) was highly similar with the manually calculation of -ln(xe/ab) (Cd(II) = 7.0638; Zn(II) = 6.9838). These new kinetics equations also reveal that Lagergren sorption rate constant (kLag) is the complex function of ka(ab-xe2)/xe).

Abstract

The hydrolysis process of pineapple leaf fibers has been carried out using sulfuric acid, nitric acid, bentonite catalyst, and activated bentonite catalyst. The sugar content of the hydrolysis product was identified using the phenol-sulfuric acid method by UV-Visible spectrophotometry. The disposal of pineapple leaf is a big problem even though it has high cellulose content (70–80%) and very promising to produce sugar by hydrolysis process. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effectiveness of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts related to sugar levels in pineapple leaf fiber. The variables in this study were the sampling time during the hydrolysis process at a temperature of 100 °C and the addition of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. The homogeneous catalysts were sulfuric acid and the nitric acid meanwhile heterogeneous catalyst was thermally activated bentonite and acid-activated bentonite. The results obtained highest sugar content reached at 150 minutes using chemical activated bentonite catalysts at 6.459 g/L and the addition of catalysts affected sugar yields, speed up the reaction, bentonite as a good catalyst, and gave good prospect for ethanol production in further process.

Abstract

The TiO2-pillared montmorillonite nanoparticles (TiO2-Mt) were prepared by the sol-gel method, then applied for the elimination of dyes in solution: CI Direct Yellow 106 (DY106) (azo dye) and CI Disperse Violet 1 (DV1) (anthraquinone dye) by the sonocatalytic, photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic processes, in order to test the efficiency of photocatalysts, while photolysis, sonolysis, and sonophotolysis tests have been done previously. The photocatalysts (TiO2-Mt) were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Fluorescence analysis (XRF), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) methods, thermal and thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTA) and the zero load point (pHpzc). Aqueous solutions of dye of an initial concentration (50 mg/L), in the presence of 1 g/L of photocatalyst, were irradiated using a mercury lamp (Hg) of 40 Mw/cm2 and put in contact with an ultrasonic probe with a frequency of 20 kHz and a power of 750 W, providing the ultrasound. The results obtained indicate that a weak, good and better dye degradation rate has been observed successively by the application of the sonocatalytic, photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic processes, where the latter has shown a synergistic effect, while the photocatalyst TiO2-Mt/MW showed significant efficiency during the degradation, due to the beneficial effect of the microwave calcination mode. Copyright © 2020 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

In this work, the Sumatera bentonite was sodium-pillarized in a new low-temperature and restricted time preparation route and then applied in anionic surfactant sodium lauryl sulphate removal. Structure characterization used Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscope - Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. A strong peak at 22° and 35.66° in XRD analysis was detected as Sodium-pillar that increased crystallinity, then the functional changes of dehydration in lattice structure were detected in 1013 cm−1 by FTIR analysis. The morphology and compositional transformation were analyzed by SEM-EDX and BET analysis, denoted by increasing particle shape and sodium intercalant composition homogeneity. Moreover, the surface area increased from 61.791 to 66.086 m2/g. The sodium lauryl sulphate adsorption by bentonite-Na reached maximum capacity at 8.403 mg/g, which is higher than the pristine bentonite (5.747 mg/g) under the optimum condition. The adsorption mechanism is feasible, endothermic, and conformed to the pseudo-second-order and Freundlich adsorption model. The new route proposed for sodium intercalation effectively improves the Sumatera bentonite adsorption ability to remove sodium lauryl sulphate waste.
