Core Subject : Science,
This journal presents articles and information on research, development and applications in biomass conversion processes (thermo-chemical conversion; physico-chemical conversion and bio-chemical conversion) and equipment to produce fuels, power, heat, and value-added chemicals from biomass. A biorefinery takes advantage of the various components in biomass and their intermediates therefore maximizing the value derived from the biomass feedstock. A biorefinery could, for example, produce one or several low-volume, but high-value, chemical or nutraceutical products and a low-value, but high-volume liquid transportation fuel such as biodiesel or bioethanol (see also alcohol fuel). The high-value products increase profitability, the high-volume fuel helps meet energy needs, and the power production helps to lower energy costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from traditional power plant facilities. Future biorefineries may play a major role in producing chemicals and materials that are traditionally produced from petroleum.

Abstract

This research is about the application of Bacterial nano cellulose (BNC) as a reinforcing material in the making of liner test paper. BNC was obtained from the fermentation of banana peel extract using Gluconacetobacter xylinum bacteria obtained from the making starter of nata de coco. The reason for using banana peel waste is because it’s available in large number all across Indonesia. BNC is mixed with secondary fiber as a raw material for making liner test paper. From the experimental handsheets results, strength properties and absorption properties were then tested. Variations in the composition of the use of BNC are 0% (blank), 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% of the handsheet dry weight. The BNC is also applicated on surface sizing as a substitute for the surface sizing agent. The results of this study indicate that BNC can be used as an alternative raw material on wet end and on surface sizing, because both applications can increase the strength properties of liner test paper, and can reduce the use of chemical additive. The highest increase in strength properties of liner test paper was obtained at the composition of nano cellulose 30% and using surface sizing. Ring crush index is 14.02 Nm / g, concora index is 12.73 Nm / g, bursting index is 3.78 KPa.m² / g, ply bonding is 388.57 J / m². The absorption properties of paper increases but it has a low prosity. The highest cobb size results are obtained at 30% BNC composition, which is 45.30 g / m2 without using surface sizing and 41.83 g / m² using surface sizing. The highest porosity value is obtained at 30% BNC composition, which is 158 s / 100cc using surface sizing. This research is expected to be a reference for further research in the field of BNC, as the alternative raw materials besides wood in paper making.

Abstract

Sugar palm or aren (Arenga pinnata) is a traditional source of starch widely cultivated throughout Indonesia. Despite its potentiality to be used as feedstock for food industries, there has been very little research reported on sugar palm starch characterization and modification. This paper describes a preliminary experimental study on the chemical modification, i.e. phosphorylation of sago palm starch using low level of Sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), and characterization of some important physicochemical and functional properties of the modified products. Starch phosphate synthesis was conducted at an initial pH of 9, reaction temperatures of 120-140 oC, and STPP intakes of 0.5-1.5%-weight based on dry starch. The experimental result shows that Degree of Substitution (DS) of the obtained products is accessible in the range of 0.0013 – 0.0068. An increase in reaction temperature as well as STPP intake leads to products with higher DS values. The modified starch products exhibit higher swelling power (16.57-24.81 g/g) and solubility (9.12-22.79 %-w/w) compared to native sugar palm starch (swelling power and solubility of 14.50 g/g and 7.91 %-w/w, respectively). Phosphorylated starch products also have significantly improved paste clarity clarity and water/ oil absorption capacity compared to native sugar palm starch. The result suggests that phosphorylation is a promising method to enhance the properties of sugar palm starch.

Abstract

This study characterizes the saccharide sugar contained in whole sweet corn seeds by extracting using Ultrasound Assisted Solvent Extraction for 60 minutes with 24 kHz frequency using ethanol solvent with concentrations of 70%, 75%, 80%, and 85%. The concentrated extract was then characterized by using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) method. Sample test conducted were tested to odor, color and shelf life of extract and determination of water content, ash content, and characterization of saccharide sugar from GCMS test. The odor and color test results show that the extract had a distinctive smell of sweet corn, yellow, and had the ability to store good extract in the condition of the room. The water content of each sample ranged from 3% - 9% with the lowest water content was in 85% concentration sample which was 3.62%, while the ash content ranged from 1.5% with the highest ash content which was in 85% concentration sample which was 1.59%. The results of characterization were identified by 3 compounds having the highest percentage of 2-Furaldehyde, Hexamethyl Cyclotriloxane, and 1,2,4-Trimethyl Benzene with the percentage of 26,94%, 9,95% and 13,82% respectively. 2-Furaldehyde includes heterocyclic aldehyde group sugars, whereas Hexamethyl Cyclotriloxane and 1,2,4-Trimethyl Benzene belong to the class of organosilicon and aromatic hydrocarbons. 2-Furaldehyde or Furfural serves as a tongue nerve stimulator and has great potential to be developed as an important non-petroleum-based chemical raw material. The GCMS results provide information that the obtained 2-Furaldehyde has a molecular formula C5H4O2 or C4H3OCHO which is a monosaccharide group which is aldose with the number of C atoms classified as pentose. The retention time was 3.062 minutes with a mass peak of 300 m/z with molecular weight was 96 g/mol.

Abstract

Meningkatnya kesejahteraan masyarakat Indonesia berdampak positif bagi peningkatan jumlah pasar tradisional dan komoditas perdagangannya. Namun, permasalahan sampah yang ditimbulkan oleh kegiatan perdagangan tersebut masih belum dapat ditangani dengan baik. Tidak hanya itu, sampah pasar tradisional yang hanya ditimbun di area tempat pembuangan akhir (TPA) telah menyebabkan pencemaran lingkungan berupa kontaminasi air tanah, emisi gas rumah kaca dan masalah kesehatan. Sampah pasar tradisional memiliki potensi yang besar untuk diolah menjadi biogas melalui metode anaerobic digestion. Dengan adanya mikroorganisme, proses ini mampu mendegradasi sampah organik menjadi bahan organik yang stabil dan biogas (metana dan karbondioksida). Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi proses tersebut adalah adanya senyawa-senyawa antibiotik yang terkandung dalam sampah. Senyawa capsaicinoid dalam sampah buah cabai merupakan senyawa yang berperan dalam rasa pedas cabai memiliki pengaruh negatif terhadap kinerja mikroorganisme dalam mendegradasi sampah menjadi biogas. Pengaruh konsentrasi buah cabai terhadap produksi biogas ini belum banyak diteliti dan diketahui sehingga perlu dilakukan penelitian untuk menentukan konsentrasi minimal yang menyebabkan proses inhibisi (penghambatan).Hasil penelitian membuktikan adanya pengaruh konsentrasi buah cabai (capsaicinoid) terhadap produksi biogas. Sampah pasar tradisional dengan konsentrasi 8 g VS/liter yang diumpankan terhadap konsorsium mikroorganisme tanpa adanya buah cabai menghasilkan yield biogas yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan sampah yang tercampur buah cabai. Semakin tinggi konsentrasi buah cabai semakin besar pengaruh penghambatannya (inhibition). Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan menurunnya yield biogas yang dihasilkan. Konsentrasi buah cabai yang menghasilkan yield optimal diperoleh pada nilai konsentrasi 5 dan 8 g VS/liter untuk cabai merah dan cabai rawit secara berturut-turut. Yield tertinggi biogas dan gas metana ialah  35 dan 12 ml/g VS (cabai rawit). Persentase reduksi VS relatif cukup tinggi mencapai 75%.The rising of Indonesian welfare has a positive impact towards the number of traditional market and its commodity. However, the problem of waste as a result of the market activity still not handled properly. Moreover, the waste of traditional market which remains in the landfill resulted in pollution such as groundwater contamination, green house emission and also health problems.The waste of traditional market has a big potential to be processed as biogas through anaerobic digestion method. With the presence of microorganism, this process is capable of degrading organic waste into stable organic material and biogas (methane and carbon dioxyde). One of the factor which affecting the process are the antibiotic components contained by the waste. Capsaicinoid which found in chili is the component which responsible to provide the spicy taste, has a negative effect towards the microorganism in degrading the waste into biogas. The effect of chili towards biogas production is not widely known that needs to be investigated, therefore a research needs to be conducted to determine the minimum concentration which resulted in inhibition process. The research result shows the influence of the concentration of chili (capsaicinoid) towards biogas production. Traditional market waste with 8g VS/litre which exposed to microorganism without the existence of chili reulted in higher amount of biogas than the one which mixed with chili. The bigger the concentration of chili, the bigger the inhibition. This is demonstrated by the the decreasing number of the yield of the biogas. The concentration of chili which can resulted in optimal yield production obtained at concentration value of 5 and 8 g VS/ litre for red chili and cayenne pepper respectively. The highest yield of biogas and methane are 35 and 12 ml/g VS (cayenne pepper). The VS reduction percentage is relatively high to 75%.

Abstract

Free Fatty acid  resulting from hydrolisis of  various types of oil enzymatically has been great interest recently to save energy, in other hand  that the product are environmentally friendly.  Lipases as biocatalysts for synthesis reactions  will  be  dissolved with the product, making difficult their reuse. Efficiency can be done with the use of enzyme immobilization, which can be used for repeated reaction. The products of free fatty acids from coconut oil by hydrolysis of lipase can be used as a natural substrate for making flavor  that can be consumed and safe for health. The effect of free lipase and  immobilization of lipase on hydrolisis  were studied.   Reaction time of hydrolisis was varied as 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes. The  variation  of concentration of lipase  addition was 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 % .  The types of treatment were used in this research free lipase and the immobilized lipase. The results shows that the highest conversion on hydrolisis of coconut oil  by using free lipase treatment  was performed by 6 % of lipase addition  with reaction time 60 minutes that are 52,31%. While, the highest conversion on hydrolisis of coconut oil by using the immobilized lipase was shown  by 8% of lipase addition with reaction time 120 minutes that is 56,01%.  The results of the hydrolysis process in the form of fatty acid was used as the base material esterification process resulting ester product (natural flavor). Ester yield was produced by free lipase esterification was 28,21 and 32,14 % in immobilized  lipase  esterification.

Abstract

The type of plastic waste that is often a problem in many cities in Indonesia is Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), his is due to the plastic waste plastic waste bags has no longer economic value. One of the goals of plastic waste processing is usng it as a raw material for the Waste Garbage Power Plant (PLTSa). The most profitable in handling plastic waste by converting plastic waste into fuel oil as an alternative energy source because plastic is basically derived from petroleum. Plastic also has a fairly high heating value equivalent to gasoline and diesel fuel. Some studies related to plastic processing have not been integrated from the production process to downstream products in the form of electric products to get the overall level of plant efficiency. Therefore a research of plastic waste power plants needs to be done at the prototype level to determine the performance of the fuel and the level of efficiency of the resulting assemblers. The Pyrolysis Reactor Prototype Unit can be used to convert plastic bottle waste into liquid fuel with a yield of 56.26% carried out at a process temperature of 170 oC and the resulting heating value reaches 19644 Btu/lb close to the heating value of Pertamina Gasoline. The generator system performance test for the liquid fuel mixture (BBC) with Gasoline and Diesel has an optimal mixture ratio in the BBC - Bensi / Solar mixture 3: 2 with an optimal load of 800 Watt. In the generator system performance test for liquid fuel mixture (BBC) with Gasoline/Diesel is more optimal for comparison of BBC fuel with Gasoline, because for the BBC mixture with Gasoline in all generator system comparison values occur ignition. Whereas BBC with Solar does not ignite at a ratio of 0: 5, 1: 4 and 2: 3.

Abstract

Distillery wastewater from the bioethanol industry contains a high level of organic content which can be converted into biogas. However, the presence of toxic compounds in this wastewater could inhibit biogas production. Therefore, prior detoxification of distillery wastewater is required. Fenton, one of the Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) methods, was selected due to its high performance to degrade organic pollutants, short reaction time, and the process is simple and easy. Additionally, this method can also be used as a pretreatment for biogas production. This paper aims to study the improvement of biogas production from distillery wastewater by applying AOP Fenton as a pretreatment method. The experiment consists of two stages, the first was application of AOP Fenton to the distillery wastewater in order to determine its effect on the concentration of COD and some toxic compounds such as phenol and sulfate. The second stage was biogas production through anaerobic digestion process, which was carried out under two conditions of raw materials: (i) distillery wastewater without pretreatment of AOP Fenton as a control and (ii) distillery wastewater that has been treated with AOP Fenton as pretreatment. Results show a remarkable decrease in COD concentration by 45%, phenol (63%), and sulfate (18,6%) from distillery wastewater after applying AOP Fenton. It implies that the application of AOP Fenton significantly detoxified distillery wastewater. As a biogas pretreatment, this method also increased biogas production by 33% higher, from 2.399 mL (without pretreatment) to 3.191 mL (with pretreatment). It indicates that AOP Fenton increased the biodegradability of distillery wastewater. Thus, it was easier to be converted into biogas.

Abstract

Palm sugar is used as a natural sweetener that is added to food and beverages. The nutritional content in palm sugar can be enriched with the addition of antioxidants derived from red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum). The antioxidant activity of red ginger is 75.61% higher than that of emprit ginger and elephant ginger. The problem that arises during the production process of granulated palm sugar is the drying process that has not considered chemical characteristics, especially water content. The requirement for water content of palm sugar according to SNI 01-3743-1995 is a maximum of 3%. Moisture content is the main parameter that determines the quality of granulated palm sugar to long shelf life. Water content can affect other chemical characteristics such as sucrose, reducing sugar, ash content, calories, protein, fat, and carbohydrates. This optimization is using RSM (Response Surface Methodology) CCD model (Central Composite Design) on Software Statistica 10 with 20 treatments. The independent variables used were time (4-6 hours), material weight (100-300) grams, and material size (10-26 mesh). Data processing with Statistica 10 software resulted in the optimum water content condition of 2.9019%, with the drying process conditions covering 6.68 hours, material weight 368.18 grams, and material size 31.45 mesh. Validation was carried out to test the accuracy of the optimization results from Statistica 10 Software. The validation of the moisture content results obtained a value of 2.9016%, with an error percentage of 0.0003%. The chemical characteristic test was applied to the granulated palm sugar as a result of optimization so that the value of sucrose (96.5967%) was obtained, reducing sugar (6.0434%), ash content (1.8660%), calories (379.93%), protein (2,4268%), fat (0.3972%), and carbohydrates (91,5379%)
