Abstract

The increased production of coconut has increased by the shell produced, even though this coconut shell has lignin content of 33.30% so it has the potential to be converted into charcoal through the pyrolysis process. Pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition process that occurs without air or with little air to convert biomass into charcoal. Coconut shell charcoal can be used for coal co-firing in developing new and renewable energy. This study aimed to obtain the best pyrolysis temperature and time in the manufacture of high-calorific value coconut shell charcoal in accordance with SNI 06-4369-1996. Coconut shell pyrolysis was carried out at temperatures of 350 °C, 450 °C and 550 °C and pyrolysis times of 2 hours, 3 hours and 4 hours. The results showed that charcoal with the highest calorific value was produced at a temperature of 450 °C and a pyrolysis time of 3 hours. The resulting charcoal had calorific value of 7,750.96 cal/g, yield of 30.10%, and contained 2.75% water, 2.70% ash and 9.50% volatile matter.

Abstract

The Chives’s Plant (Allium schoenoprasum) came from the wild ancestors that is the native of European and Asian. The ash of chive leaves contain considerable amount of metal, enabling its usage as catalyst in the making of biodiesel. Based on the Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX) characterization, chive leaf ash calcined at 600 ˚C contained 26.14% potassium oxide, 17.55 calcium oxide, 21.94% carbon, and 22.05% phosphorus pentoxide. The ash of chive leaves later on, used as the catalyst on the biodiesel making from the palm oil. The highest biodiesel yield of 94.42% was achieved at reaction temperature of 60 ˚C, 3% catalyst amount, ratio of oil and methanol 1:12, and reaction time 120 minutes. Based on its density, viscosity, moisture, and total glycerol biodiesel has met the Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) 7182:2015. However, the purity of biodiesel still haven’t met the standards, in which methyl ester content was 69.13% and the triglyceride was 18.83%.

Abstract

This paper reports the performance evaluation results of the wastewater treatment plant and the quality of the effluent from the palm oil mill of PT. Rohul Sawit Industri in 2021, which uses Ponding System methods. PT. Rohul Sawit Industri are allowed to reuse the results of their waste treatment into the Land Application System. The faculative waste is monitored once a month where the data is in accordance with the UKL–UPL matrix. In the liquid waste test, samples of liquid waste are taken from the last outlet which will be flowed to the study area, referring to the applicable water sampling method. The results of laboratory tests showed that for 6 months the pH was relatively constant between ​​7–8 and the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)  was always below 5,000 mg/L. Both of these parameters have met the quality standards that have been set in the Decree of the State Minister of the Environment No. 29th in 2003. The level of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in wastewater is between 1912.2 mg/L–9389.67 mg/L, oil and fat content in wastewater is between 6.1 mg/L–15.3 mg/L, Total Suspended Solid (TSS) liquid waste is between 700 mg/L–55,920 mg/L, ammonia levels in palm oil waste are around 62.5 mg/L–215.5 mg/L, Pb levels in waste are between 0 .08 mg/L–0.155 mg/L, Cu levels in waste are always less than 0.005 mg/L, Cd levels in sewage are always less than 0.01 mg/L, and Zn levels in waste are between 0.012 mg/L–0.098 mg/L. Based on this, the processing of liquid waste from the palm oil mill of PT. Rohul Sawit Industri is quite good because the quality of the liquid waste is still below the quality standard.

Abstract

The adhesive that is widely used today is the synthetic one, which is carcinogenic to humans. It is necessary to produce adhesives based on natural resources (bioadhesive) to reduce the use of synthetic adhesive. Gelatin is a compound that has amine groups, while adipic acid is an organic acid that has carboxylic groups in its chemical structure so they can be primary ingredients to make adhesive. The research objective is to reduce the use of synthetic adhesives with best quality of bioadhesive. The steps of making the adhesives included polymerization reaction and hydrolyzed palm oil addition. The polymerization reaction is carried out in batches at 90 ℃ and 1 atm with mole ratio palm oil to gelatin variety of 0; 0.04; 0.08; 0.17; 0.33; 0.5; and 1. The best result for tensile strength is the ratio of 0.33 mole ratio of palm oil to gelatin for 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 14 days of curing time, respectively 1575.71 kPa, 2197.30 kPa, 3387.31 kPa, dan 3708.23 kPa.

Abstract

Liquid waste from the textile industry contains harmful dyes that can damage the environment. Pollution to the environment can be minimized by processing dye waste before being discharged into rivers or sewers. The dye waste treatment process can be carried out using the adsorption method. The adsorbent used was non-activated and acid-activated eucalyptus leaf waste (HCl 2 M). The solution used as adsorbate is malachite green. This study aims to optimize the absorbance level of eucalyptus (Melaleuca cajuputi) leaf waste against malachite green dye using the Langmuir adsorption isotherm method. The variables used are the mass variation of the adsorbent, the contact time and the adsorption isotherm model. The absorption efficiency value produced by the adsorbent of eucalyptus leaf waste with 2 M HCl activation was 87.4279%. Meanwhile, the non-activated adsorbent is 86.0290%. For time variations of 10 minutes, 15 minutes and 20 minutes on 2 M HCl activated adsorbent resulted in an absorbance of 0.026; 0.022; and 0.02. Based on the graph of the relationship between Ce and Ce/Qe for the non-activated adsorbent, R2 was obtained at 0.7039 while the 2 M HCl activation was 0.966. So, the eucalyptus leaf waste can be used as an adsorbent without a carbonization process, only needs to be given activation treatment using an acid solution.

Abstract

Nanoparticles are materials that have superior properties compared to similar materials that are larger in size when used as raw materials. One of the nanoparticles that is trending and has many applications is zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). This study aimed to synthesize ZnO-NPs using kenitu leaf extract (Chrysophyllum cainito L.) and determine the effect of extract composition and pH on the size of ZnO-NPs. Kenitu leaf extract can prevent agglomeration in the synthesis of nanoparticles because it contains secondary metabolites such as antioxidants and polyphenols. ZnO-NPs were synthesized using green method by reacting kenitu leaf extract with zinc sulfate. The success of the synthesis was indicated by the similarity of the peaks of the synthesized compounds to the standard peaks of ZnO in X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and supported by the presence of Zn-O vibrations in the 405-768 cm-1 region in Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) analysis. Analysis of UV-Vis spectra showed that ZnO-NPs were relatively stable at wavelength of 308-330 nm with an absorption peak at 317 nm and a bandgap energy of 3.25 eV. The results of FTIR characterization showed the presence of vibrations of the carbonyl and hydroxy groups in kenitu leaf extract. The results of the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)  characterization showed that the ZnO-NPs synthesized using 10 mL kenitu leaf extract at pH 7 with 0.15 M zinc sulfate had predominantly spherical shape with a size of 14.10 nm. Based on experiment result addition of kenitu leaf extract may reduce the size of ZnO-NPs, while increase of mixture pH during formation reaction of ZnO-NPs may increase the size of ZnO-NPs.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of nanocrystalline cellulose and potassium chloride (KCl) to bioplastics from avocado seed starch and glycerol as plasticizer. In this study, nanocrystal cellulose obtained from palm fruit fiber was hydrolyzed using sulfuric acid (H2SO4) at a concentration of 50%. The starch used in this study was obtained from the avocado seed extraction process. On producing bioplastic, the casting method was used with the addition of nanocrystal cellulose as filler of 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% (%w), KCl as dispersing agent of 0%, 1%, 2%, and 3% (%w), and glycerol as plasticizer by 30 (%w). Based on the density test, the optimum value was obtained at 2% of nanocrystal cellulose and 2% of KCl with the value around 0.041 gram/cm3. The best water absorption values were 57.1% and 53.8% which obtained at 2% of nanocrystal cellulose and 1% of KCl. Scanning Electron Microscope test results showed uniformly distributed nanocrystal cellulose granules filling the surface of the bioplastic. The addition of KCl as dispersion agent give a good impact.

Abstract

The selection of a catalyst is imperative in extracting silica. Calcium is a heterogeneous base catalyst that is abundant in carbonate rocks. This study attempts to extract silica using an artificial carbonate solvent with variations of strong acid HCl (1 M, 3 M, 5 M), NaCl salt (1: 2, 1: 4) w/w ratio to distilled water, and H2O (1: 4) w/w ratio to carbonate. Characteristics of fly ash were analyzed using XRF and XRD to determine the elemental composition, crystal structure, and dominant constituent compounds. The solvent concentration and pH effect in extracting silica from fly ash is reviewed by setting the temperature parameter at 60 C, 120 minutes extraction time, and the ratio between fly ash and carbonate solvent 20 % w/v. The filtrate was verified using UV-Vis to determine the concentration of dissolved silica (SiO2) in the carbonate solvent. The examination results showed that the carbonate solvent with 3 M HCl was able to extract silica better than the other five solvents at 68.17 ppm.

Abstract

Adsorption is the process of fluid molecules contacting the surface of a solid material. This study aims to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) gas in biogas using natural zeolite-based adsorbent pellets by adsorption and desorption of CO2 from the adsorbent using air. CO2 removal was carried out to determine the percentage of CO2 removal efficiency with variations in biogas flow rates (100 mL/minute, 300 mL/minute, and 500 mL/minute) and variations in the type of adsorbent pellets (particle size, activation time, calcination time, and dealumination activation treatment). Determination of the percentage of CO2 removal is carried out by flowing the biogas into the column and contacting it with the adsorbent continuously for 30 minutes and the output gas is collected in a gas collector to analyze the remaining CO2 content. The results showed that the best CO2 removal was 97.7% using an adsorbent with a particle size of 140 mesh, 4 hours of calcination, 90 minutes of activation time, and dealumination activation at a flow rate of 100 mL/minute. The breakthrough characteristic curve presents the characteristic “S” profile at constant flow rate (100 mL/minute).
