<![CDATA[Volumetric analysis is one of quantitative analysis methods; a very important method used in determining the concentration of substances in solution. The success of this analysis was determined by the existence of an appropriate indicator that can show the exact end-point of titration. Curcumin, a natural dye contained in the plant root of turmeric (Curcuma domestica val.) was able to function as an indicator for the color change from light yellow brown to brown at pH around 4.5 to 9.9. Curcumin is extracted from the tuber which result is called oleoresin extraction. In the case of extraction of oleoresin, the role of solvent, extraction duration, temperature, and the fineness of particles is very important. In the present work curcumin pigment was extracted from turmeric paste in ethanol as solvent at varying operating conditions; i.e temperature, duration of extraction, and particle size of turmeric powder. The extract was further distilled and weighed. The curcumin obtained at optimum conditions was then determined using a TLC Scanner. The use of curcumin as an indicator in volumetric analysis was done by mean of titration using a few acid-basic samples. The results were compared with results from titrations using phenolphthalein (pp) and methyl-orange (mo) as indicators. The results showed that the optimum condition of curcumin extraction were at a temperature of 70°C for 120 minutes with a turmeric particle size of 100 mesh. The curcumin produced had a relatively high concentration of 5.158 mg/mL. In order to use it as an indicator for the end-point of volumetric analysis, the curcumin should be diluted to obtain 5% solution and use as much as 4 drops of the solution for the titration.]]>

<![CDATA[Heavy metal Pb2+ is a highly toxic substance and is very dangerous for living creatures. Biosorption with fungi is one of the abatement methods to reduce the metal contaminant in environment. The present study aimed at determining the maximum biosorption capacity and the equilibrium model of Pb2+ biosorption by Trichoderma asperellum TNJ-63. Some Trichoderma asperellum TNJ-63 varied in amount were put into an erlenmeyer flask containing a solution of Pb2+ with an initial concentration of 100 ppm at room temperature. Variation of stirring speeds (80, 130 and 180 rpm) was also carried out to study its effect on the time required to reach equilibrium. The result showed that Pb2+ could be effectively adsorbed by Trichoderma asperellum TNJ-63 as the biosorbent and its biosorption could reach its maximum by as much as 98.24% (w/w). Calculation result showed that the mechanism of Pb2+ biosorption on Trichoderma asperellum TNJ-63 followed Freundlich isotherm model with an average error of 0.098%.]]>

<![CDATA[Pulp and paper wastewater contains a vast variety of chemicals including phenolic and chlorinated phenolic compounds. The toxicity of these two phenolic compounds in water has led to environmental problem due to resistance or complete recalcitrance to metabolic breakdown by the majority of living species. Phytoremediation is one of the most effective and economic way of reducing the toxic compounds in wastewater system. In this research enceng gondok (Eichhornia crassipes) was choosen as ortho-chorophenol phytoremediation agent. Experiment was conducted in 2 batch reactor systems; one reactor without nutrient addition and the other one with 1.06 mg/L of NPK addition as nutrition. Both systems were carried out over range of pollutan concentration of 0 -20 mg/L. Experimental result showed that the remediation of o-chlorophenol using enceng gondok was influenced by the initial concentration of pollutan. The rate of o-chlorophenol uptake increased when o chlorophenol concentration higher. It was shown that the highest o-chlorophenol uptake rate reached at 20 mg/L of initial concentration, in which its uptake rate was 4.59 times faster compared to uptake rate at 5 mg/L of o-chlorophenol concentration . With nutrient addition, the rate of o-chlorophenol uptake was 1.23 – 1.33 times faster than the process without nutrient addition. Experimental result also indicated that after 48 hours remediation , every five hundreds (500) gram of enceng gondok was able to adsorp more than 50 % of o-chlorophenol from its initial concentration.]]>

<![CDATA[Castor oil of Ricinus communis has potential as a raw material for biodiesel synthesis through catalytic alcoholysis process. Clinoptilolite type natural zeolite is one of solid catalysts that can be used in the alcoholysis process. In the present work, the alcoholysis was carried out in an autoclave reactor equipped with manometer, thermometer, sampling valve, and heating element. The reaction occurred at elevated temperatures with the use of clinoptilolite as a solid catalyst. The experimental data indicated that in a certain reaction time range, an increase in temperature and autoclave rotation speed lead to the increase of reaction conversion. Calculation results showed that the overall reaction rate was controlled by chemical reaction at the catalyst surface. The optimum condition of the alcoholysis process was obtained at reaction time of 60 minutes, temperature of 120C and autoclave rotation of 110 rpm with the use of alcohol-oil ratio of 12.56 mgek / mgek and 2.56% (w/w) catalyst. At the optimum condition, the conversion could reach as high as 0.73. The obtaining esters had a viscosity of 8.0 cst, -16.6°F pour point, 215°F flash point, ASTM color of 1, and heating value of 19,119 Btu/lb.]]>

<![CDATA[PT Petrokimia Gresik has seven NPK fertilizer plants with total production capacity of two million tons per year. The existing capacity is much higher in comparison with its design capacity. An effort to increase the production capacity was done simultaneously by process optimization, equipment modifications and operational method improvement. The present work was a case study from NPK Phonska Plant II; one of the plants that has already successfully increased its capacity from 1,320 tons / day to 2,400 tons / day or 182% of its original design capacity. The process optimization resulted in reduction of reaction path and process structure. Equipment modifications were done according to the new process, meanwhile improvement ofthe operational method was done through six sigma's methodology implementation. All improvement steps were done by local engineers and technicians of PT Petrokimia Gresik andthe achievement therefore becamea pride of all constituents involved in the project. The significant improvement in fertilizer production capacity also gave large contribution to the national effort in achieving and keeping self-sufficient foodstoke.]]>

<![CDATA[The problem related to the utilisation of Indonesian coal is the high sulphur and ash contents of the coal which may defect the combustor units and pollute the environment. Flotation is one of the methods to reduce the inorganic sulphur and ash in coal. Research on desulphurisation and deashing of coal from Mallawa (Sulawesi) was performed in a continuous flotation column. Variables which give maximum desulphurisation were studied and covered in this article, e.g. mixing ratio of crude palm oil (CPO) surfactant to coal. It was found that optimum mixing ratio of CPO to coal was 1:4, based on optimum conditions previously determined, i.e. resident time of 60 minutes, air flow rate of 1.22 l/min, pH 6.5 and coal particle size of 169 m. In these optimum conditions, the sulphur content was reduced from 3.3% to 0.93% or 72% sulphur recovery, while the ash content was reduced from 11.25% to 9.75%, the calorific value was maintained at 6000 kcal/kg. The desulphurised and deashed coal meets the specification criteria of the industrial fuel.]]>

<![CDATA[The need of glyphosate in Indonesia is increasing by about 0.75% annually. Nowadays, Indonesia imports the compound from China. In order to decrease the amount of imported glyphosate, it is necessary to produce it locally. This research aims at achieving primary reaction rate of producing glyphosate from neophosphonomethyl iminodiacetic Acid (NPMIDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and secondary reaction rate of aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) at various reactant ratios and temperatures. Palladium supported alumina (Pd/Al2O3) was used as catalyst. Five grams of NPMIDA was added into a-500 mL three neck flask, and 85 mL aquadest was poured into it. Then, 1 mL H2O2 was added into the three neck flask every 20 minutes.. The product was vacuum-filtered and reacted with 130 mL ethanol. Separation of glyphosate was performed by filtering and washing it with ethanol and diethyl ether. The purity of glyphosate product was analyzed using UV/Vis spectrometer.]]>

<![CDATA[PT Kaltim Methanol Industri (KMI) produces grade AA methanol which has a purity of above 99.85%. The overseas customers or consumers of the methanol product require that the methanol should contain trimethylamine (TMA) as low as possible (less then 50 ppb). TMA might be present either in the free form TMA or in the form of acidic coumponds in a solution such as found in the crude methanol. Free TMA has a low boiling point of 3°C (1 atm) and is easily separated from the methanol by distillation. Meanwhile, TMA in the form of acidic compounds is relatively difficult to separate by ordinary distillation. Generally, to eliminate the TMA, NaOH solution is injected to the distillation column. In the distillation column, a high pH (alkaline) will cause the TMA in crude methanol becomes more volatile and therefore be possible to remove it along with the off-gas. The condition of natural gas in the feedstock and the dynamic of the process plant cause the TMA content in the resulting methanol fluctuating. This study aimed at determining the possible causes of the increase of methanol content of TMA in the product either by natural factors or due to changes in the operating conditions prior to the separation process in the distillation unit. The study showed that the increase of CO2 content in the natural gas feedstock would increase the amount of TMA in the crude methanol. Addition of NaOH solution injection to the distillation column would help to decrease the TMA content in the final methanol product.]]>

<![CDATA[Bamboo can be utililized as biomass through torrefaction and densification processes and be used as solid fuel. In the present work, bamboo was cut into pieces followed by torrefaction process in a furnace. The product of the torrefaction process was then milled or ground to produce smooth powder which was then pressed to form briquettes. The resulting briquettes were characterized by determining their calorific value, proximate analysis, ultimate analysis and burning rate. The torrefaction process was successfully carried out in a temperature range of 200-300°C to obtain charcoal that had following properties: brittle, hydrophobic with decreasing moisture content. The experimental results showed that the calorific value was influenced by bamboo briquette density. Greater the density higher the calorific value of the resulting brequettes. In addition, the rate of burning was also determined by the density. The briquettes that had higher density had lower burning rate. The results showed that torrefaction and densification processes could increase carbon content and calorific value of the bamboo brequttes by 19-20% in a temperature range of 200 – 300°C.]]>
