Abstract

Jasmine flower (Jasminum sambac) contains essential oil compounds. Jasmine flower essential oil is a high-quality essential oil. Essential oils are volatile oils that have aroma similar to the original plant. Jasmine flower essential oil is sought due to its calming and anti-depression nature. In this study, the effect of extraction temperature, extraction time and solvent to jasmine flower ratio on jasmine oil was studied. The extraction was carried out at 30oC, 35oC, and 40oC for 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, and 5 hours by using n-hexane. The ratio of jasmine flower to n-hexanes were 1:3; 1:4; and 1:5 (w/v). Resulting jasmine oil was analyzed by GC-MS, and its quality was assessed according to SNI 06-2385-2006 which include colour test, refractive index analysis, acid number analysis, and ester number analysis. This experiment showed that increasing of extraction time, extraction temperature, and volume of solvent lead to increase of absolute yield of jasmine essential oil. The highest jasmine oil yield obtained at 11.69 %. The jasmine oil contained was 47.14 % benzyl acetate and had yellow color. Its refractive index, acid number, and ester number were 1.478, 20.92 mg KOH/gram jasmine essential oil, and 150.27 mg KOH/gram jasmine essential oil respectively.

Abstract

B30 is an environmentally friendly fuel used for diesel engines. B30 is very easily contaminated with water sourced from the production process and raw materials from the B30. This water content causes corrosion and has an impact on landfilling. A demulsifier is a way to break down the B30 and water emulsion. In this study, the demulsifier used was acrylate-based and mixed with polar and non-polar solvents. The addition of a demulsifier with a volume of 2 mL, 5 mL, and 10 mL in the stockpiling process with variations of 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours obtained an effect on the volume of water, where the volume of water increases with longer storage time. But the effectiveness of the demulsifier can be evaluated by potentiometrically measuring the water content and FTIR. The demulsifier that was made was also added with an antioxidant in the form of tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) with a concentration of 0.5 M and obtained more separate water layers than without the addition of TBHQ. To obtain the water content value after adding TBHQ, the coulometric and Fourier Transform Infra Red methods were used, which yielded higher results when compared to the absence of TBHQ. So that antioxidants and dimulsifiers have a positive effect on the process of storing diesel fuel.

Abstract

Water hyacinth is a freshwater plant that has a negative impact on waters, but has a high cellulose content (77.6%) and is still underutilized. One alternative in controlling the amount of water hyacinth is to utilize its potential cellulose content as an ingredient in xanthan gum. Fermentation was carried out with the help of Xanthomonas campestris and xanthan gum was obtained, which can be used as a polymer injection material to increase crude oil production in the oil refinery industry. The stages to obtain xanthan gum are delignification, hydrolysis, and anaerobic fermentation (28 °C) with a time variation of 24 hours to 120 hours with an interval of 24 hours. The cellulose hydrolysate variable is 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, and 2.5%. The yield of xanthan gum in this research was 18%, with a moisture content was 13% – 15% and an ash content was 3% –3.9%. The resulting xanthan gum was analyzed for its functional groups using Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) and was in agreement with commercial xathan gum.

Abstract

Biodiesel can be made by utilizing used cooking oil through a chemical process, namely through a transesterification reaction, namely changing the oil (triglycerides) into fatty acid methyl esters. Washing must be done to remove the remaining impurities in biodiesel. The dry washing method is purification by utilizing the adsorption process to remove impurities in crude biodiesel. Bentonite is an alternative adsorbent that can be used as dry washing in the biodiesel refining process because it is cheaper, abundant in nature and has a layered structure with the ability to swell. The purpose of the study was to determine the ability of bentonite activated with acid as a dry washing agent in biodiesel purification. The research method used is the dry washing process method using bentonite adsorbents. The application of bentonite adsorbent as much as 6 grams with a contact time of 3 hours is the best operating condition to produce biodiesel with a pH of 6 and a clarity value of 96.7.

Abstract

The high amount of plastic waste in landfills will pollute the environment. Direct combustion releases pollutants into the air, and recycling is only possible in small quantities. One method to overcome this problem is pyrolysis. However, pyrolysis requires a catalyst such as zeolite to accelerate the reaction rate, lower the activation energy, and improve the basic properties of the pyrolysis liquid. This study aims to characterize the activated natural zeolite Ende and determine the effect of the catalyst from the activated natural Ende zeolite on the activation energy, as well as the quality of the liquid resulting from the pyrolysis. Based on the research results, the activation process could change the degree of crystallinity became 36.63%, the surface area became 74.57 m2/g, the average radius became 20,21 Ã…, the pore volume became 72.34 cm3/g, and the number of acid sites became 4.342 NH3/g zeolite. Ende's active natural zeolite catalyst in the polyethylene pyrolysis process from plastic waste reduced the activation energy to 4,371.1 cal/mol in treating 0.10% catalyst composition from 1 kg of plastic. Increasing the temperature and catalyst improves the quality of pyrolysis oil, but the composition of the catalyst ratio is 0.10% of 1 kg of plastic.
