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

In this study, bioplastics made of Konjac glucomannan have been successfully prepared via film casting method. The effects of addition of beeswax content (i.e. of 0%, 0.5%, and 1%,), as well as glycerol content (i.e. 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%) on the properties of the bioplastics have been investigated. The bioplastics produced have been characterized for their tensile strength, percent elongation, swelling degree, and biodegradability. The results of this study, showed that most of the bioplastic samples have weight loss of about 95% after the drying process as well as the finished film. The addition of beeswax and glycerol concentrations also increased tensile strength and percent elongation of the bioplastics. The highest value of tensile strength occurred at bioplastic film with a concentration of 1.5% beeswax and 1% glycerol (i.e. Sample C3) with a value of approximately 3.5 MPa. Whereas, the highest percent elongation value occurred at bioplastic film with a concentration of 1.5% beeswax and 1% glycerol (i.e. Sample C3) with a value of approximately 23.29%. These tensile and percent elongation values were higher or comparable to other bioplastic samples made from starch of different raw materials reported by literatures. In the other hand, the addition of beeswax and glycerol decreased the degree of swelling. The degree of swelling for all the bioplastic film samples were in the range of 316.77 – 481%.

Abstract

Biofoam is a biodegradable material that can substitute the use of styrofoam. Biofoam can be produced from Rhizopus sp. mycelia. In the development of biofoam from fungal mycelia, mycelia act as a reinforcement or binder for the substrate (media) because mycelia grow and spread throughout the substrate. Therefore, optimization of the growth medium of Rhizopus sp. by varying the substrate composition and incubation temperature had been done in this research. The substrate consisted of sugarcane trash (particle size 20, 40, and 60 mesh), starch (soybean, sago, and rice), CaCO3, and distilled water. Rhizopus sp. inoculum that had been mixed with the substrate was incubated at certain temperatures (29 and 35°C) for 7 days. The FESEM-EDS analysis of starches showed that soybean has more nutrients than rice and sago starch. The optimum substrate for the mycelia growth of the Rhizopus sp. is TK 1, which consists of 20 mesh sugarcane trash, soybean flour, CaCO3, and distilled water with an incubation temperature of 29°C. That mycelia grew well and evenly distributed throughout the TK 1 substrate with an average length of ± 1.3 cm. The mycelia distribution throughout the media can also be seen by morphology analysis using Kayence digital microscope.The suitable substrate composition and incubation temperature can optimize the growth of Rhizopus sp. mycelia.

Abstract

Particleboard is a product of wood technology engineering made of wood particles and other lignocellulosic materials which are bonded with synthetic adhesives. As an information, utilization of natural adhesive for particleboard is still limited. This study aimed to determine the influence of hybrid adhesive made from citric acid and sucrose for particleboard properties composed of Sengon veener by-products and sorghum stalk. The hybrid adhesive content used was 15% of citric acid and 25% of sucrose that calculated from the dry weight of particles. The mixture ratio of hybrid adhesive for both citric acid and sucrose were 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100 (% w/w). The manufacture of particleboard was set on target density of 0.8 g/cm3 under a press temperature of 200o C for 10 minutes. Mostly, the properties of particleboard were shown to be affected by the adhesive content and composition ratio between citric acid and sucrose and met the Japan Industrial Standard A 5908:2003. The value of modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, internal bond, and screw holding were ranged about 1.21-3.49 GPa, 12.77-20.24 MPa, 0.18-0.90 MPa and 167.71-321.27 N. Particleboard with 15% of citric acid content and the mixture ratio both citric acid and sucrose of 50:50 has the best physical and mechanical properties and met the requirement of Japan Industrial Standard A 5908:2003.

Abstract

Diacylglycerol (DAG) is one of the oil derivatives that have relatively high economic value. It has considerable prospects in the global market, which can be synthesized chemically by glycerolysis of oil/fat containing triacylglycerols. The process uses an alkaline catalyst such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at the temperature of 210-260 °C. The present study utilized a free fatty acid compound from cocoa bean processing waste as alternative raw material for producing DAG. The reaction system using a MgO catalyst and tert-butanol as solvent was known to be more favorable. The solvent can increase the solubility of oil in glycerol so that the reaction temperature can be lowered to 70-90 °C. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature and the ratio of glycerol/FFA on the glycerolysis process and to determine the optimized variables that result in a maximum conversion. The glycolysis reaction was optimized with two factors using a central composite design, i.e., reaction temperature and glycerol/FFA ratio. The selected fixed variables were catalyst loading (3.5 wt%), the mass of FFA (10 grams), stirring speed (400 rpm), reaction time (4 hours), and volume of solvent (20 mL). The optimization process was evaluated using the response surface method, which shows that the optimum condition was achieved at a glycerol/FFA ratio of 5 g/ml and a reaction temperature of 90 °C. The experiment carried out under these optimum conditions resulted in 97.5% conversion, while the two-order polynomial model developed using RSM was able to predict the conversion of 96.7% under the same condition.

Abstract

The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of the type and dose of coagulants on the color removal of POME through the coagulation process. The coagulants used in this study were alum and poly aluminium chloride (PAC). The dose of coagulants was varied to 2, 4, 6, and 8 g/L. The results of this study showed that the optimum dose for coagulant of alum was 6 g/L and the optimum dose for coagulant of PAC was 8 g/L, in which these doses resulted in color removal efficiencies of 80.65±10.30% and 94.12±1.00%, respectively. The PAC coagulant was more effective than the alum coagulant. The kinetic models used to predict the color removal efficiencies were the first- and second-order kinetic models. Based on the kinetic analysis, the MAPE of the first and second-order kinetic models was 9.17-28.28% and 5.48-21.62%, respectively. It means that the second-order kinetic model can predict with higher accuracy than the first-order kinetic model. By the second order kinetic model, the reaction kinetic constant of the coagulation process at alum coagulant of 6/L and PAC coagulant of 0.021 and 0.057 /min, respectively.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) with different concentrations (0,2,4,6,8,10%) isolated from water hyacinth on tensile strength, elongation, and biodegradability of corn starch bioplastics. CNC isolation was conducted, including alkalization, bleaching, acid hydrolysis, and sonication. After the isolation process, CNC was characterized based on functional group, crystallinity, and morphology surface. Then, the production of starch bioplastic using solution casting was carried out with the addition of CNC. The results showed chemical treatments affected the functional group, increasing the crystallinity index, and removing the fibril structure in water hyacinth fibers. Likewise, the addition of CNC to starch bioplastic fluctuated the tensile strength and elongation. In the biodegradability test, the physical appearance of the bioplastic completely changed. Then, the optimum mass reduction occurred in the 6% CNC on the 10th day.

Abstract

Lignite is the lowest rank coal which has less economic value. Corn cobs are solid waste biomass as a by-product of corn processing. The processing of these two materials can produce a product in the form of hybrid coal through the co-pyrolysis process. This study aims to determine the optimum temperature and mixing ratio of co-pyrolysis of lignite and corn cob and to characterize the hybrid coal produced by co-pyrolysis. The lignite is dried and crushed to a particle size of 20-50 mesh. Corn cob was cleaned, cut into pieces, and sieved to a size of 0.4-2 mm. Then it was dried using an oven at 105oC for 24 hours. Lignite and corn cob were mixed with a ratio of 3:1, 1:1, and 1:3 (mass of lignite: mass of corn cob). The mixture of materials is inserted into the pyrolysis reactor as much as 400 grams. The pyrolysis process was carried out at temperatures of 350ºC, 400ºC, 450ºC, 500ºC, and 550ºC for 1 hour by flowing nitrogen gas into the reactor with a flow rate of 1.5 L/minute. The results showed that increasing the mixing ratio and co-pyrolysis temperature would decrease the yield of hybrid coal. Increasing the pyrolysis temperature will increase the calorific value of hybrid coal. Still, the effect of the mixing ratio of lignite and corn cob shows a decrease in heating value at a mixing ratio of 1:1 and an increase in a mixing ratio of 1:3. Other parameters such as moisture content and volatile matter content decreased with increasing temperature and mixing ratio. In contrast, ash content and fixed carbon content increased. So, an optimum temperature and mixing ratio of 450ºC and 1:3 is the best condition to get hybrid coal that met the requirements to be a solid fuel.

Abstract

Kapok (Ceiba pentandra) is one of the natural fibrous sources with a high content of cellulose. The natural kapok used contains 54.3% of cellulose, 11.3% of hemicellulose, and 19.11% of lignin. Kapok is a potential material to be explored by isolating the fiber, then converting into nitrocellulose. The effect of nitric acid concentration on the nitration process and characterization of material were investigated. Kapok fiber was isolated by delignification and bleaching process. Delignification was done in the presence of 5% (w/v) of NaOH and 30% (v/v) of H2O2 for alkaline and acid hydrothermal treatment, respectively. Kapok was washed until neutral pH and dried in an oven at 100 oC for 4 h to get kapok fiber (CK). For the nitration process, CK 5% (w/w) was added to a solution of 15% (v/v) phosphoric acid and variation of 15%, 20%, and 25% of nitric acid. The mixture was stirred at 10 oC, 300 rpm, for 30 min. The solid CK was separated and poured into hot water for 5 min and continuously washed with demineralized (DI) water and sodium hydrogen carbonate until neutral pH. The nitrocellulose (KN) was produced after the material dried. The smooth surface of fiber and diameter around 14.5-19.1 µm was changed into a plat fiber of 13.3-21.2 µm after hydrothermal treatment. The crystallinity index (CrI) of CK was increased up to 58.17% based on X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) observation. The degree of substitution (DS) was calculated by data spectra of Fourier Transform-Infra Red (FT-IR) analysis of a specific functional group for N-O and C-O stretching vibrations. The DS optimum value was achieved at about 0.885 at concentration of 20% nitric acid (NK20). The synthesis of nitrocellulose kapok fiber-based has potential as a functional material.

Abstract

The utilization of biomass and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste as raw material for refuse-derived fuel (RDF) has been studied. However, physical such as density and hardness are still not widely used. This study aimed to determine the relationship between variations in the composition of PET and physical garden waste density and hardness on the quality of the caloric value of RDF. Density measurements were carried out with the Ultrapyc 1200e instrument. While for hardness, using the Shore D method. The Shore D Hardness test is a standardized test that involves evaluating the amount of depth that may be penetrated by a certain indentation. The lowest density is RDF pellets for food waste at 1,537 kg/m3 and consists of RDF pellets for plastic waste at 2,560 kg/m3. In line with the density, the hardness value increases with the addition of the PET composition. The density and hardness values in the RDF mixture show a simultaneous relationship to the heating value. The highest caloric value achieved is the use of 100% PET as pellets which can reach 5765 kcal/kg.
