<![CDATA[Biofiltration is a promising method for gas purification due to its efficiency and low operating cost. One way to utilize biofiltration is in biogas purification where H2S is removed from the biogas product. The presence of H2S may cause severe corrosion in biogas processing facilities. By the use of biofilter, H2S is dissolved and adsorbed on packing material. This study investigated the adsorption process that occured during the beginning of biofilter operation. Na2S has been used as a model compound for H2S with packing material from snake fruit seeds. In this study, we have investigated the influence of liquid flowrate and inlet concentration of Na2S solutions. Na2S solution was fed from the top part of the column and trickled down through the snake fruit seed bed. The dissolved sulfide left the column from the bottom part which was then collected in a sample bottle and analized periodically with UV-VIS spectrophotometer. A one dimensional mathematical model of the adsorption column with respect to z direction was proposed to describe the adsorption behavior. In addition, Freundlich isotherm was used to describe the solid-liquid adsorption equilibrium. The experimental results showed that low flowrates i.e. 1.59 and 2.97 mL/s gave larger adsorption capacities than higher flowrate i.e. 3.96 and 5.58 mL/s. In addition, the influence of inlet concentrations to the breakthrough characteristics were found to be negligible. The fitting results estimated the values of DL=1.3174.10-7 m2/s, α=1.002.10-4 and n=12.661. As a result, it could be concluded that the axial diffusion had small influence on the adsorption of Na2S solution. In addition, the small value of α as well as large value of n indicated that the adsorption capacity of snake fruit seeds was relatively small.]]>

<![CDATA[Polymer injection is one method of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), where the polymer is dissolved in water, usually the formation water. Hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) polymer types are most commonly used. This study aims to investigate the effect of KYPAM HPAM polymer concentration and operating conditions upon the water injection in order to determine the optimal injection system. Viscosity of polyacrylamide solution was measured with a Brookfield viscometer. Variation in salinity is carried out by mixing formation water with distilled water, whereas for high salinity of formation water using evaporation method. Shear rate was varied in the range of 1-45 s-1, while solution temperature was varied in the range of 70 - 87°C , and the effect of H2S gas in the solution was conducted by saturating the solution using natural gas which has concentration of H2S as 100 ppm.The results show that the effect of salinity solution has the greatest influence on the decrease in viscosity of the solution when compared to the other factors. Decrease in viscosity was due to agglomeration process resulting precipitate of polyacrylamide in the form of vaterite and aragonite morphology. The result also show that an increase in shear rate resulting lower viscosity. The increase in temperature causes the viscosity of the solution decreases. Meanwhile, the presence of H2S in the solution reduces the viscosity of the solution due to chemical degradation.]]>

<![CDATA[Chitosan is valuable product that can be produced from crustacean shell wastes. Chitosan is important ingredient in various fields, for example food industry, biotechnology, pharmacy, medicine, and environment. The objective of this experiment was to obtain optimum conditions of chitin deacetylation process and to propose mathematical model of deacetylation reaction to be used in reactor design. This experiment used KOH solution at various concentration of 40 to 70% (weight fraction), temperature of 80 to 120oC, and reaction time of 4-6 hours. The results showed that optimum condition was achieved at the concentration of KOH of 60%, temperature of 100oC, and reaction time of 5.5 hours. At that condition, the degree of deacetylation (DD) of the chitosan produced was 80.79%, which well met the market standard of 80% DD. The mathematical model proposed in this study indicated that diffusion controlled the the overall rate of reaction.]]>

<![CDATA[Nowadays, Indonesia is facing serious problem related to the rapid generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) and dependence on fossil energy. Converting organic content of MSW into biogas through biological process by mean of anaerobic digester is one of promising proposals to solve the MSW problem. In order to optimize biogas production, this research studies the effect of Total Solid (TS) content and ratio of carbon to nitrogen (C/N) within organic fraction of MSW as raw material for biogas production. The organic fraction of MSW consists of vegetables and fruits waste which originated from traditional market.The experiments using various TS concentrations (10%, 15% and 20%) were conducted in batch reactors. The results showed that TS content of MSW raw material had significant effects on the total volume and CH4 concentration of biogas production. High water content in MSW raw material enhanced the hydrolysis of organic fraction as well as avoided the excessive Volatile Fatty Acid (VFA) concentration which posed the risk of inhibition on the anaerobic process. Based on the results, the TS concentration of 10-15% in the organic MSW would offer an optimum yield of biogas production. In order to examine the effect of C/N ratio, the organic MSW was modified using ZA fertilizer (36, 30, 20 and 10 C/N ratios). The C/N ratios of 20-30 produced high amount biogas and CH4 concentration compared to others. The C/N ratio should be maintained at the optimum value to prevent the accumulation of free ammonia which could cause problems in the anaerobic process.Based on the results, the biogas production from organic MSW would yield the optimum biogas amount and CH4 concentration when the TS concentration and C/N ratio were 10-15% and 20-30, respectively. This outcome would give recommendation on the water addition to the raw organic fraction of MSW and C/N modification when converting the organic fraction of MSW to biogas.]]>

<![CDATA[Polyphenol is antioxidant compound naturally present in plants e.g in cacao shell (Thebrema cacao L.). The cacao shell has high cellulose content (30-50%), and therefore it is potential to be converted into various types of products. Cellulose could be hydrolyzed to produce glucose, and glucose could be fermented to become lactic acid. However, polyphenol presence in the cacao shell is suspected to be inhibitory to fermentation process. This research aimed to figure out the polyphenol effect in lactic acid fermentation with glucose as substrate by the fungus Rhizopus oryzae. Polyphenol concentrations in the fermentation broth were varied with value of 0, 10, 15, and 20 g/L. Along the course of the experiment, lactic acid concentration was measured by means of gravimetric and conductometric method. Fungus growth was measured through dry mass method while consumption of glucose was observed by glucose determination with Nelson-Samogyi method. The results showed that polyphenol presence in fermentation system would decrease lactic acid production from 40.55 g/L (system without polyphenol) to 18.24 g/L (system with 20 g/L polyphenol). Microbe growth inhibition also observed from 3.68 g/L (system without polyphenol) to 0.51 g/L (system with 20 g/L polyphenol). However, polyphenol presence did not affect the total glucose consumption. Final glucose concentrations in all system were about 10.94 to 19.28 g/L. Some possible factors for this phenomenon were glucose conversion to another product and glucose utilization for cell maintenance. This research also found that the best kinetic model to represent the fermentation system was uncompetitive inhibition model.]]>
