Abstract

The sol gel process is one of the processes used in the manufacture of thin films on membranes because it can control the pore size in the resulting silica matrix. In addition, another way to build membrane size can be done by adding catalysts and precursors to be used. In this study, using a combination of tetraethyl ortho silicate (TEOS) and triethoxy vinyl silane (TEVS) precursors and citric acid as a catalyst to produce a silica matrix with mesoporous size so that it is suitable for application in the desalination process. The organo silica membrane was calcined at 350 C for 1 hour using the RTP calcination technique under vacuum, thus preventing the decomposition of carbon in the silica matrix. The membrane was dipcoated 4 times to obtain 4 layers. The FTIR (Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy) test was carried out to see the functional groups on xerogel, namely silanol, siloxane and carbon. In addition, the performance of this membrane is carried out by desalination through pervaporation using 0.3% NaCl feed water with variations in feed air temperature, namely 25, 40and 60. The resulting flux of air value increased with increasing feed water temperature, namely 6.1; 11.2; and 12.1kg.m-2h-1while the resulting salt rejection was 99.72; 99.64 and 99.23%. So that the organo silica membrane is suitable when applied to the desalination process through pervaporation.

Abstract

Calotropis gigantea stems (CGS) has the potential to use as biosorbent for adsorption of Cu(II) ions. In this study, the CGS biosorbent (CGSB) was prepared by drying and grounding. The effect of independent variables on adsorption capacity were investigated. As the result, the maximum adsorption capacity of 53.457 mg/g was obtained the optimal condition which was initial Cu(II) ions concentration of 567.47 mg/L, CGSB size of less than 230 mesh, CGSB mass of 1 g, temperature of 27 oC, pH 5, and contact time of 60 min. The CGSB surface morphology was analysed using SEM. The adsorption of Cu(II) ions fitted well with pseudo first-order adsorption kinetic (PFO-AK) model (R2=0.99), and the PFO-AK adsorption capacity and rate constant obtained were 70.194 mg/g and 0.0877 g/mg.min, respectively. The adsorption isotherm of Cu(II) ions was in accordance with Freundlich model (R2=0.99), and the intensity and volume constants attained were 0.876 and 1.017 L/mg, respectively. This result showed that physical adsorption occurred dominantly than chemical adsorption. The application of CGSB on the wastewater of initial Cu(II) ions concentration of 389.31 mg/L from ex-mine pool of acid mine drainage (AMD) in Jantang village, Lhoong District, Aceh Besar, Aceh Province resulted in adsorption capacity of 37.52 mg/g with adsorption efficiency of 66.13%.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effects of transesterification reaction temperature on the biodiesel properties and diesel engine performance. Biodiesel properties evaluated in this work included viscosity, density, and methyl ester content. Meanwhile, the diesel engine performance testing comprised the examination of the engines torque and power. The research was conducted in several stages, viz. producing biodiesel from fresh cooking oil with variations in transesterification temperature of 45, 55, and 65; testing the characteristics of biodiesel produced; blending biodiesel with petroleum diesel to result in B30 biodiesel fuel; and testing biodiesel fuel (B30) in diesel-engined vehicles. It was revealed that the higher transesterification temperature led to the lower biodiesel viscosity, the decreasing value of biodiesel density values, and the higher methyl ester content. Furthermore, it was also demonstrated that increase of the transesterification temperature resulted in the higher value of torque and power generated. However, compared to the petroleum diesel fuel (B0), biodiesel fuel (B30) exhibited the lower values of the engines torque and power. The highest average values of torque and power of B30 fueled diesel-engine were 108.11 Nm and 43.51 kW, respectively, provided by the biodiesel produced at the transesterification reaction temperature of 65.of 65.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the coffee-producing countries where production tends to increase from year to year. Currently, residuals from coffee-fruit processing such as coffee-skin and husks are thrown away without any use and this biomass residual contains several toxic chemicals such as alkaloids, tannins, and polyphenols. One of potential uses of coffee-industry by-product is to make activated carbon (ACs), which is made through a carbonation process and followed by an activation process. In this study, chemical activation was carried out using chemical activators ZnCl2 and NaOH. The purpose of this study is to prepare and investigate the characteristics of chemically activated coffee skin bio-char focusing on the surface properties and iodine adsorption capacity. Prior to carbon activation, a purpose built pilot-scale reactor was fabricated and tested at temperatures of 400 C and 500 C. The difference in carbonation temperature and variations in activator concentration alter the absorption properties. The results showed that the coffee-skin pyrolyzed at 500 C and activated by 2% NaOH solution exhibits the highest absorption value of 720.2 mg/g. Lower absorption values were observed in any ZnCl2 activator samples. SEM-EDS analysis result suggests significant changes in composition of the ACs before and after activation. Most of impurities are gone during activation and washing. The value of C atoms increases and the pores structure of the activated carbon are expanding showing suitable properties for adsorbent.

Abstract

The starting material for activated carbon was biomass from teak woodcutting, which consists of 47.5% cellulose, 14.4% hemicellulose, and 29.9% lignin. The surface area and iodine number of activated carbons are the factors determining the adsorption ability. This study aims to determine the effect of the activator type on activated carbon characters and test the absorption ability for waste cooking oil. The synthesis stages include carbonization, chemical activation, and then physics activation. The activation process consists of two steps. Firstly, the chemical activation via adding H2SO4, and H3PO4 at room temperature for 24 hours, the second, physical activation by heating at various temperatures of 300, 400, and 500 C for two hours. The characterizations of activated carbon include water content, ash content, iodine number, functional groups, and surface area. Furthermore, the activated carbon was used as an adsorbent for waste cooking oil for 60 minutes at 100 C with a stirring of 500 rpm. The results were analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at a maximum wavelength of 403 nm. The iodine numbers of activated carbon ranged 481.1-1211.4 mg/g and 494.8-1204 mg/g for H3PO4 and H2SO4, respectively.Activated carbon with H3PO4 of 15% and an activation temperature of 400 C has the highest surface area of 445.30 m2/g. The H2SO4 dan H3PO4 activators can be used to improve the quality of activated carbon in absorbing dyes in waste cooking oil, where the optimum concentration is 10-15% (v/v). The H3PO4 activator tends to produce a higher bleaching percentage than H2SO4.

Abstract

The new composite material Al(III)-TiO2 has been synthesized and applied as a modifier of graphene paste electrode for the determination of fipronil pesticide by cyclic voltammetry. The methods were to synthesis of Aluminum-Titanium dioxide (AT), preparation of graphene paste electrode with mass varied Al(III)-TiO2 (GAT) (0.05 g, 0.1 g, 0.2 g), and fipronil electroanalytic respons. Addition of Al(III)-TiO2 to the graphene paste electrode shows redox properties which are well characterized by a fast electron transfer process. Based on the results of measurements in a solution containing fipronil, it is known that fipronil is oxidized at a potential value of 0.26 V. Furthermore, the fipronil oxidation process on the GAT surface is influenced by diffusion control, this is powered by R2 value 0.91 when plotted between peak oxidation currents (Ipa) vs. root scan rate. Other results show that measurement linearity is in the range 0.01 to 0.09 g/L with a limit of detection (LOD) value of 0.0164 g/L. Moreover, GAT shows good stability in the determination of fipronil with% RSD equal to 5%.
