Abstract

The loading of gold using strong base anion exchange resin in non-ammoniac resin-solution (NARS) systems has been studied. The loading of gold onto ion exchange resins is affected by polythionate concentration, and trithionate can be used as the baseline in the system. The results also show that resin capacity on gold loading increases due to the increase in the equilibrium thiosulfate concentration in the NARS system. Gold loading performances show the need of optimization the equilibrium concentrations of thiosulfate in the NARS system.Keywords: equilibrium, gold loading, resin capacity, thiosulfate, trithionate

Abstract

The kinetics and mechanism of cadmium and zinc adsorption on palm kernel shell based activated carbons (PKSAC) have been studied. A series of batch laboratory studies were conducted in order to investigate the suitability of palm kernel shell based activated carbon (PKSAC) for the removal of cadmium (cadmium ions) and zinc (zinc ions) from their aqueous solutions. All batch experiments were carried out at pH 7.0 and a constant temperature of 30+-1C using an incubator shaker that operated at 150 rpm. The kinetics investigated includes the pseudo first order, the pseudo-second order and the intraparticle diffusion models. The pseudo-second order model correlate excellently the experimental data, suggesting that chemisorption processes could be the rate-limiting step.Keywords: adsorption, cadmium, kinetics, palm kernel shell, zinc

Abstract

Starch is modified for three reasons. First, modified starch provides functional attributes in food applications that native starches normally cannot provide. Second, starch is abundant and readily available. Third, starch can provide an economic advantage in many applications. Process for the production of modified starch comprised the steps of (1) extracting starch from potato and sweet potato, and (2) modifying the starch to produced pre-gelatinized, acid modified, and cold water swelling starch. Tapioca gives the best performance when modified by pre-gelatinization and cold water swelling. The characteristic of the pre-gelatinized tapioca were swelling power 979,782%, water holding capacity 480,391%, moisture contents 8.48%, ash content 0,006%, dan yield 93,358%.Keywords: acid modified, cold water swelling starch, modified starch, pre-gelatinized

This research studied the synthesis of Polyurethane (PU) Membrane from Carrageenan and 2,4 toylulene diisocyanante (TDI). The PU membrane made from the Gracilaria sp of red seaweed has rendement of 60.5% from the total weight of the dried sea grass. The produced Carrageenan has pure properties with containing many OH groups which can be used to synthesize membrane. The dope solution to produce good membrane was made at the temperature of 60 oC for the reaction of 5 minutes by varying concentration of carrageenan 5-35 % (b/v). PU membrane was constructed using petri dish with the thickness of about 0.1 mm. To control the thickness of the membrane, the volume of dope solution was used about 12 mL, and the membrane was produced with 10 cm in diameter. The membrane had been synthesized at the temperature of 60 oC with varied concentration of Carrageenan 15% (b/v) to the toylulene diisocyanate (TDI). The produced membrane has the optimal properties with the tensile strength of 340 kgf/mm2, the elongation percentage of 9%, the glass temperature transition of 243.6 oC and the melting point of 423.02 oC.

Abstract

Adsorption of heavy metal ion Cu(II) onto modified lignin from sawdust waste have been presented. The ability of lignin from sawdust waste to adsorb the copper ion has been evaluated by varying adsorption time, pH of solution, and adsorption capacity.

Abstract

The ability to produce potable water economically is the primary purpose of seawater desalination research. Reverse osmosis (RO) and multi-stage flash (MSF) cost more than potable water produced from fresh water resources. Therefore, this research investigates a high-efficiency mechanical vapor-compression distillation system that employs an improved water flow arrangement. The incoming salt concentration was 0.15% salt for brackish water and 3.5% salt for seawater, whereas the outgoing salt concentration was 1.5% and 7%, respectively. Distillation was performed at 439 K and 722 kPa for both brackish water feed and seawater feed. Water costs of the various conditions were calculated for brackish water and seawater feeds using optimum conditions considered as 25 and 20 stages, respectively. For brackish water at a temperature difference of 0.96 K, the energy requirement is 2.0 kWh/m3. At this condition, the estimated water cost is $0.39/m3 achieved with 10,000,000 gal/day distillate, 30-year bond, 5% interest rate, and $0.05/kWh electricity. For seawater at a temperature difference of 0.44 K, the energy requirement is 3.97 kWh/m3 and the estimated water cost is $0.61/m3. Greater efficiency of the vapor compression system is achieved by connecting multiple evaporators in series, rather than the traditional parallel arrangement. The efficiency results from the gradual increase of salinity in each stage of the series arrangement in comparison to parallel. Calculations using various temperature differences between boiling brine and condensing steam show the series arrangement has the greatest improvement at lower temperature differences.Keywords: desalination, dropwise condensation, mechanical-vapor compression

Abstract

Biodiesel is one of the alternative energy to replace petroleum diesel. Biodiesel is produced by transesterification of vegetable oil into alkyl ester and glycerol as by-product. The vegetable oil based put biodiesel as a renewable and environmentally friend energy source. Research on making of solid catalyst ZrO2/Al2O3 for biodiesel production from jatropha oil has been done. The catalysts were prepared by impregnation method with different amount of Zr (2, 5, 15, and 20%) and the components were characterized by using XRD. Transesterification reaction was done by reacting jatropha oil with methanol and catalyst with the ratio of oil to methanol of 1:6, reaction temperature of 60oC, and reaction time of 3 hours. Biodiesel produced were analyzed for their yield and composition using GC-MS. The biodiesel products were also characterized for their viscosity, density, acidic and saponification value. Characterization of catalysts showed that components of synthesized ZrO2/Al2O3 were ZrO, ZrO2, and Al2O3. The highest yield of biodiesel produced was resulted from transesterification reaction using catalyst with 2% Zr. GC-MS results showed that methyl esters of biodiesel produced confirmed with fatty acids in jatropha oil with methyl oleic is the highest. Characteristic of the biodiesel has met the quality standard of ASTM, prEN and SNI.Keywords: biodiesel, katalis, minyak jarak, ZrO2/Al2O3

Study on the use of copper zinc oxide supported on alumina catalyst for steam reforming of methanol to hydrogen has been done. The aim of this work is to study the catalytic properties of copper based catalysts used in the steam reforming of methanol. This method is known as one of the most favorable catalytic processes for producing hydrogen on-board. The catalyst was prepared by impregnation method with Cu loading of 5%, 10%, and 15%,. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that the catalyst compositions are Cu, CuO, ZnO, and Al2O3. The reactions were carried out in the fixed bed tubular reactor operating at temperatures of 150oC, 200oC, 250oC, 300oC, and 350oC and atmospheric pressure. The product was analyzed using Shimadzu Gas Chromatography GC 8A with mole sieve 5A and porapak-N column 80/100 mesh. The performance of the catalyst shows that the highest methanol conversion was 86% over Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst with 15% of Cu loading. The selectivity and yield of hydrogen was 66% and 57% respectively over Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst with 15% of Cu loading.
