Abstract

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a derivative cellulose which is soluble an in water (hydrophilic colloid). This material effective to bind water to provide a uniform texture and increase viscosity. The aim  of this study is to utilize banana peel as a raw material to synthesis CMC and determine the best conditions in the process of synthesis CMC from banana peel. The materials used were banana peel, water, aquades, NaOH, Natirum monochloroacetat and glacial acetic acid. The variables in this study were NaOH concentration, natirum monochloroacetat mass, temperature and reaction time. In this  research consists of four stages there are preparation of raw materials, alkalization, carboxymethylation, and neutralization. The results of this research  shows the variatioon NaOH concentration 20%  and  temperature of 45oC degree, mol rasio of  cellulose:sodium monochloroacetat 1:1,6 with a reaction time of 120 minutes obtained the highest substitution degree of 0,73-0.812. The FTIR analysis shows the presence of the O-H, C-H, C = O, C-0, CH2 and 1,4 β-glycoside function groups known to have the same function groups as the commercial carboxymethyl cellulose.

Abstract

In this work a heat pipe type solar water heater using R178 as a refrigerant is studied experimentally. The objective is to investigate the effect of initial vacuum pressure on the performance of the solar water heater. An experimental apparatus that consists of three difference solar water heaters has been designed and fabricated. The heat pipe is filled with R178 and vacuumed at an initial pressure. The pressure is varied from 35 cm Hg, 40 cm Hg, and 45 cm Hg. The experimental apparatus is tested by exposing to solar irradiance in Medan city of Indonesia. The experiments are carried out for three different days. The averaged solar intensity at the first, second and third experiments are 497.76 W/m2, 405.27 W/m2, and 333.83 W/m2, respectively. The results show that maximum temperature of the hot water varies from 51.14oC and 62.22oC. In the first experiment, thermal efficiency of the solar water heater at initial vacuum pressure 35 cm Hg, 40 cm Hg, and 45 cm Hg are 30,94%, 32,01% and 34,38%, respectively. The similar trends are also shown in the second and third experiments. These facts suggest that R178 can be used as a refrigerant in a heat pipe solar water heater with a good performance. The higher vacuum initial pressure of the heat pipe results in higher thermal efficiency. The higest thermal efficiency of the present study is 45.92%. It occurs at initial pressure and average irridiance of 45 cm Hg and 333.83W/m2.

Abstract

Red spinach (Alternanthera amoena voss) contains vitamins, protein, and flavonoids. Flavonoid is polyphenol compounds having properties as a free radical catcher.The purpose of this research is to obtain the kinetic rate of flavonoid mass transfer from red spinach.Extraction is one of the way to take flavonoids contained in solids with the assist of solvents. Mass transfer in liquid solid extraction occurs by diffusion. The determination of mass transfer coefficient (KC) is to conduct the rate of mass transfer of flavonoids from solids. In this study, the effect of temperature on the extraction of flavonoids from red spinach with water solvent is observed.

Surfactant is a molecule which has hydrophilic group and a lipophilic group which can unify a mixture consisting of water and oil. Alkanolamide is a type of widely used nonionic surfactant for various purposes. In this study, we observed the effect of temperature and reaction time on the synthesis of palmitoyl ethanolamide surfactant from palmitic acid and lauroyl ethanolamide from lauric acid with zirconium (IV) chloride as catalyst in mixed solvent. This research was conducted using amidation reaction at temperature variation of 55oC, 65oC, 75oC, 85oC and 95oC, reaction time variation of 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, and 5 hours, mole substrate ratio at 1:10, solvent ratio at 2: 1 (v / b), catalyst concentration 5% (w/w), and stirring rate at 250 rpm. Then the product was analyzed by FT-IR spectrophotometry. Based on this research, the optimum condition to synthesis palmitoyl ethanolamide surfactant was obtained at 55 oC and temperature 65 oC to synthesis lauroyl ethanolamide surfactant at reaction time of 3 hours for both of them.

This study aimed to determine the best adsorption capacity, compounds contained in activated carbon and burn off that produced. In this study, activated carbon have been prepared from the bark of Salacca zalacca by physically activating using a microwave. The 70 gram  bark of Salacca zalaccawas pyrolised in a furnace with flowing gas N2 with temperature 500 oC for 120 minutes followed by microwave activation at 2450 MHz with power 600 W, 800 W and 1000 W for 20 minutes, 40 minutes and 60 minutes. The results showed the best burn off on microwave power 1000 W with 60 minutes activation time of 90,25%. The best activated carbon adsorption capacity at 800 W microwave power for 20 minutes is 19,96 mg/g. The best allowanced percentage at 800 W microwave power with 20 minutes activation time is 99,82%. Characterization of Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FITR) showed the presence of C=O (carbonyl) bonds indicating the presence of carbon-active substances. After pyrolysis forms a C≡C (Alkuna) bond which indicated more carbon was produced. This is supported by the characterization of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) showing the surface morphology of rough and irregular activated carbon and the amount of carbon and oxide content on activated carbon of 44,44% and 28,54% sequentially.
