Abstract

An application of EVAL based mixed matrix membrane adsorbers containing a strongcation exchange resins (Lewatit SP 112 WS) for capturing of Lysozyme (LZ) has been investigated.The preparation and performance of the mixed matrix membrane adsorbers is studied with 1-octanol as additive. The membranes in this study are prepared by immersion precipitation out of a DMSO solution containing 14% EVAL and with or without 14% 1-octanol. All membranes contain 65% resin based on dry solids. The morphology of the membranes are characterized using scanning electron microscopy.The membrane structure demonstrated open and interconnected porous structure with large resin particles are distributed in membrane structure. The MMM adsorber proved high adsorption capacity for capturing and concentrating LZ in feed solution. The Mixed matrix membranes (MMM) concept was anticipated as a moderate process with an increasedcapacity and a maximum adsorption capacity of 166 mg LZ/g membrane. The MMM act in protein separations both as protein purifier and concentrator and is an attractive alternative for packed bed systems because of its high capacity, high throughput, robustness, and ease of scaling up.Keywords: Mixed Matrix Membrane (MMM), Lysozyme (LZ), Adsorption, Membrane adsorber

Abstract

Production of composites was done by mixing the filler and matrix. The common matrix used to produce composite is plastic ore with types of poly propylene, poly ethylene and others. To know the characteristics of composite boards made from recycled plastic type poly ethylene so this research was conducted. This research aims to create a composite board made of solid waste sawdust and straw as a filler and recycled plastics as the matrix and to find out more details of the influence of variable solid waste types and ratio of solid waste weight and plastic toward the quality of the composite board product. Composite board manufacturing process was carried out by hot press method at a temperature of 145 oC for 20 minutes. The composite board products are tested on value of hardness, tensile strength, and thermal value. The results showed that the use of sawdust as a filler resulted the composite hardness value that is better (R79,5) compared with straw (R67) at a ratio of filler composition: matrix of 80:20 respectively. The use of sawdust also gives the value of tensile strength of 6.86 MPa that is better than the using a straw that valued of 3.62 MPa at composition ratio of filler: to matrix (60:40). Largest amount of heat needed to melt the composite boards are 31.19 J/g and 14.02 J/g at composition ratio sawdust: recycled plastics of 80:20 and at composition ratio straw: recycled plastics of 80:20, respectively.

Abstract

In this work, the ultrasound-assisted transesterification of used frying oil (UFO) was studied. A two-step pretreatment of degumming and esterification was conducted to prepare UFO as raw material for transesterification. The esterification and transesterification was performed by using ethanol as solvent in the presence of ultrasonic irradiations operating at frequency of 40 kHz. The esterification was carried out with oil to ethanol ratio of 1:10, temperature of 60oC and reaction time of 4 hours in the presence of 1 wt .% H2SO4 as an acid catalyst. Meanwhile, the transesterification reaction was carried out with oil to ethanol molar ratio of 1:8, 1:10, 1:12, 1:15; KOH catalyst concentration of 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25 and 1.5 wt.%; and reaction temperature of 40, 50 and 60oC. The highest biodiesel yield of 65% obtained at ultrasound-assisted transesterification condition of oil to ethanol molar ratio of 1:12, reaction temperature of 50oC and KOH concentration of 1 wt.%. The results of analysis of some parameters of the product showed biodiesel has fulfilled the specifications according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 04-7182-2006 number.Keywords: Biodiesel, Esterification, Used frying oil, Transesterification, Ultrasonic

Abstract

The possibility of utilizing residual forest biomass to produce valuable chemicals was investigated. An outer layer of a bark of Hinoki (Chamaecyparis obutusa) tree, a Japanese cypress, was used as a sample material. Experiments were carried out in a semibatch reactor apparatus that allows the study of the effect of reaction temperatures in a single run. Analysis of the products by GC-MS reveals formation of useful compounds such as furfural, some aromatic compounds (1,3-di-tert-butyl benzene and 2,4-di-tert-butyl phenol), and fatty acids (myristic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid).Keywords: fatty acids, furfural, high temperature water treatment, hinoki, residual biomass

Abstract

Composting is nowadays a general treatment method for agriculture waste such as empty fruit bunch. This research article reported the composting process of the empty fruit bunches. The effect of addition of white rot fungi (Phanerochaete Chrysosporium) as an activator on composting product was studied. Experiment results indicated that white rot fungi is a good activator to improve degradation process of the empty fruit bunch become an organic fertilizer. White rot fungi has capable to increase composting period become shorter in compare with original composting without addition of white rot fungi. The organic fertilizer product as regulation issued by the Standar Nasional Indonesia (NSI) can be achieved in duration of 3 months, while for original process without addition of white rot fungi longer degradation time is necessary.Keyword: Composting, empty fruit bunch, white rot fungi

Abstract

The adsorption of an anion dye, methyl orange, from aqueous solutions on polymer based carbon coated monolith was studied in a batch system. The kinetics of adsorption with respect to the initial dye concentration was investigated. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were applied to describe the experimental data. Equilibrium data fitted well to the Freundlich model for concentration range (0 160 mg/L). The maximum adsorption capacity of the carbon with BET surface area of 431 m2/g obtained from the Freundlich model was 36.72 (mg/g) (L/mg)1/n. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were employed to describe the kinetic data. The experimental data fitted well to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with constant rates 5.42x10-4 and 2.22x10-4 g/(min-mg) for initial concentrations 50 and 100 mg/L, respectively.

Abstract

The world now is facing two energy related threats which are lack of sustainable, secure and affordable energy supplies and the environmental damage acquired in producing and consuming ever-increasing amount of energy. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, increasing energy prices reminds us that an affordable energy plays an important role in economic growth and human development. To overcome the abovementioned problem, we cannot continue much longer to consume finite reserves of fossil fuels, the use of which contributes to global warming. Preferably, the world should move towards more sustainable energy sources such as wind energy, solar energy and biomass. However, the abovementioned challenges may not be met solely by introduction of sustainable energy forms. We also need to use energy more efficiently. Developing and introducing more efficient energy conversion technologies is therefore important, for fossil fuels as well as renewable fuels. This assignment addresses the question how biomass may be used more efficiently and economically than it is being used today. Wider use of biomass, a clean and renewable feedstock may extend the lifetime of our fossil fuels resources and alleviate global warming problems. Another advantage of using of biomass as a source of energy is to make developed countries less interdependent on oil-exporting countries, and thereby reduce political tension. Furthermore, the economies of agricultural regions growing energy crops benefit as new jobs are created.Keywords: energy, gasification, sustainable, wet biomass
