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

Biodegradable Foam (Biofoam) material has been made for application of styrofoam substitute food packaging material from a mixture of starch with chitosan as an additive. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of molding temperature on biofoam products and to determine the effect of chitosan addition on the physical, mechanical, and biodegrability properties of biofoam made from cassava peel starch (a) and banana peel starch (b) which is close to commercial biofoam standards. The production of biofoam uses variations in molding temperature of 125, 150 and 175 °C and variations in chitosan weight with variations of 0, 1, 2 and 3 grams. The resulting biofoam product was then tested for density, water absorption, compressive strength, biodegradation and functional groups with Fourier Transform Infrared  (FTIR). Based on the results of the study, it is known that biofoam that is close to commercial standards is found in the addition of 3 gr chitosan weight with a molding temperature of 125 °C with a density value of 0.423gr/cm3, water absorption of 42.54% and compressive strength of 0.0045 Mpa. As for biodegradation, biofoam products will decompose 55.17% for 55 days in 0 g chitosan weight with a thermopressing temperature of 175 °C. The spectrum results obtained on biofoam have C-H, C-O, C-N, N-H, C=O and O-H functional groups.

Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an alternative cellulose source that warrants more investigation due to its limited efficiency and high production costs. This research aims to investigate the generation of bacterial cellulose from tofu wastewater using Acetobacter xylinum without pretreatment. The experiment was run on two media: tofu wastewater with and without additional sugar. The fermentation was run in a dark cabinet using a static batch method in numerous fermenter trays, each with a working volume of 1000 mL. Each experiment used 900 mL of tofu wastewater medium plus an extra 100 mL inoculum (equal to 10% v/v), which was then cultured at room temperature and harvested on days 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30. The weight of nata de soya, BC, and residual sugar were all measured from the samples. The results of the experiments revealed that the best incubation time was 18 days. The fermentation employing tofu wastewater medium with added sugar yielded nata de soya of 227.3 g/L and BC of 32.2 g/L, while the medium without added sugar yielded 103.9 g/L and BC of 9.3 g/L. The medium with added sugar yielded higher BC productivity, 1.79 g/L.day, compared to 0.57 g/L.day in the medium without added sugar. On the other hand, the BC results per sugar consumption were 0.62 g BC/g sugar and 0.36 g BC/g sugar, respectively, for the medium with and without added sugar.

Abstract

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L) production in Indonesia based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) for 2020 reached 720.66 thousand tons and continues to increase every year. Increasing cocoa production can cause cocoa waste to increase as well. Cocoa waste handling can be overcome by producing bioethanol as a way to reduce the amount of waste produced. This study aims to utilize cellulose compounds from cocoa fruit waste in the production of bioethanol through several stages, namely delignification, enzymatic hydrolysis by cellulase enzymes and the fermentation process with the help of Zymomonas mobilis bacteria. The results showed that the lignin level decreased by 19.5%, the hemicellulose level decreased by 6.87% and the cellulose level increased by 27.45%. Hydrolysis and fermentation stages were analyzed using the response surface method (RSM) to obtain optimum conditions. Cellulose can be optimally hydrolyzed using a pH buffer of 2 and a temperature of 30°C with a glucose concentration of 21,703 mg/mL. The fermentation process can be carried out at optimum conditions using a fermentation medium pH 10 with an incubation time of 168 hours. The bioethanol level was analyzed using a refractometer and gas chromatography (GC) with a yield of 8.43% (v/v).

Abstract

Population growth causes an increase in the need for petroleum. However, petroleum as primary energy is currently increasingly limited in availability. Required alternative energy sources that can be renewed to overcome these problems, one of which is bio-oil. Bio-oil is produced by a pyrolysis process using biomass such as sugarcane bagasse, rice husk, and empty oil palm fruit bunches (EFB), by heating in the absence of oxygen. Kinetic studies on pyrolysis of this type of biomass (sugar cane bagasse, rice husk, and empty oil palm fruit bunches) were carried out using the thermogravimetric method. The Coats-Redfern method was used in this study. The purpose of this study is to obtain the most appropriate reaction kinetics model to represent the pyrolysis process for each type of biomass. In addition, to determine the optimal temperature used in forming bio-oil. Approximately 5 g of each biomass is used with a heating rate of 10°C/minute. Pyrolysis was carried out until the temperature reached 750°C. The results of the research on the selected kinetic model for each biomass is a geometric model with a correlation coefficient (R2) close to 1 and the optimum temperature for producing bio-oil is around 550 - 600°C.

Abstract

The coffee husk biomass from plantation products and compost from household waste processing is currently underutilized. Therefore, efforts are needed to enhance the value of compost and coffee husk as raw materials for producing syngas through co-gasification processes. Due to the low calorific values of these materials, it is necessary to add materials with higher calorific values. In this study, low-quality coal was used for this purpose. The research aims to investigate the influence of airflow rate and mass composition of raw materials on the quality of syngas which produced through the updraft co-gasification process. The stages conducted in this study include raw material pretreatment and characterization, gasification process, and syngas analysis. The experimental variables used were the percentage composition of raw materials, consisting of coffee husk and coal, and airflow rates of 10, 15, 20, and 25 liters per minute. The research results indicate that syngas with the highest Lower Heating Value (LHV) was produced from the co-gasification process using raw materials with a composition of 75% coffee husk and 25% coal, along with an airflow rate of 20 liters per minute. The LHV of the syngas was 5045.56 kJ/m3, consisting of 20.28% CO and 6.89% H2.

Abstract

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using plants has been interesting in recent years. In the present study, the silver nanoparticles were synthesized using a bioreductor from ketapang leaf extract (Terminalia catappa L.) assisted by sonochemical methods. This green synthesis provides an economic, eco-friendly, and clean synthesis route for silver nanoparticles. Different concentrations of AgNO3 precursors (0.5; 1.0 and 1.5 mM) were initially reacted with ketapang leaf extract with PVA 1% solution as stabilizers that were sonicated for 30 minutes. Silver nanoparticle colloidal solutions were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometers, Particle Size Analyzers (PSA), and Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM). Maximum absorption of silver nanoparticles was obtained at wavelength 420-450 nm. Based on UV data, the silver nanoparticles showed stability for up to 3 weeks. The XRD peaks indicated that the (111) crystallographic plane was more predominant than other planes. The average size of the silver nanoparticles was 79.7 nm from the PSA result. TEM imaging depicted that the nanoparticles were spherical. Finally, the result proved that the silver nanoparticles effectively removed the methylene blue up to 76.43% within optimum conditions (3 ppm of methylene blue, 15 minutes contact time, and 8% nanoparticle concentration).

Abstract

Textile liquid waste is pollution resulted from textile industry activities that often produce hazardous and toxic materials. Therefore, appropriate processing techniques are needed. There are many processing methods that can be used in treating this textile liquid waste, one of which is using membrane technology with phase inversion techniques. Membrane technology has advantages over other processing methods such as, being biopolymeric, relatively lower energy consumption, does not use chemicals in the processing process, and does not cause new waste in the processing process.  In this study, 3 variations of cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) concentration were carried out in the manufacture of membranes including, 13% CAP; 14% CAP; and 15% CAP. Membranes that have been made are then carried out several analyses, namely porosity analysis; flux analysis; rejection analysis; and color concentration reduction analysis. The results in this study found that the highest porosity value, rejection value and flux value were found in the CAP membrane with a concentration of 13%.  The CAP membrane has the best rejection value on reducing the remazol concentration of 43% with a membrane of 13% CAP.

Abstract

ZSM-5 can be synthesized from Lampung Natural Zeolite (ZAL) and rice husks as a source of additional silica. To speed up the synthesis time, ZSM-5 was synthesized using microwaves. Based on this, the synthesis of ZSM-5 was carried out using microwaves at a temperature of 140 oC with a power of 540 watts with time variations of 10, 15 and 30 minutes with the seeding method as a template replacement of 20%. Amorphous silica with a SiO2 content of 95.324% was extracted from rice husks with a suitable alkali solution. The influence of synthesis time on the formation of ZSM-5 has been carried out. The resulting product was characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and FTIR (Fourier-Transform-Infrared), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and BET (Brunaur, Emmet and Teller). The results of the analysis show that the results of the research show that the synthesis of ZSM-5 has been successfully carried out by changing the amorphous phase from natural Lampung zeolite and rice husks into ZSM-5 crystals using microwaves which can shorten the synthesis time 216 - 72 times faster than with heating. conventional, produces high crystallinity, provides small particle sizes with larger surface area, pore volume and pore diameter, and microwave radiation does not damage the Si-O bonds. The best sample was obtained at a synthesis time of 30 minutes with a crystallinity percentage of 96.76% and a specific surface area of 138.616 m2 /g.

Abstract

The world's high consumption of fossil energy increases carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The depletion of fossil fuel sources, combined with rising CO2 emissions, has prompted intensive research into renewable energy sources. Bioethanol is an environmentally friendly energy source that has the potential to reduce reliance on gasoline. Bioethanol is produced through the fermentation of monosaccharides. The first and second generations of bioethanol are derived, respectively, from food crops, agricultural waste, and plantations, while the third generation is derived from algae. However, the third generation bioethanol research is still being conducted intensively to develop an optimal process. Macro/microalgae are low-level plants that have the potential to become raw materials for bioethanol. Arthrospira platensis, a spirulina species, is a microalgae with a high carbohydrate content. Apart from that, this type of microalgae is easy to cultivate and grow. This research aims to determine the reducing sugar content which are monosaccharides produced from acid hydrolysis using a microwave at a temperature of 100 °C for 60 – 120 minutes with 0.2 M H2SO4 as the solvent. The hydrolysate obtained was then fermented anaerobically with Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a shaking water bath. The High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) test was carried out to identify the reducing sugar groups in the hydrolysate. Moreover, the solid content of the biochar remaining from the hydrolysis process was analyzed using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR). From the test results, it was found that the highest concentration of D-glucose (1.19 g/L) occurred at 90 minutes of the hydrolysis. In addition, the hydrolysis of microalgae was also carried out with 0.3 M H2SO4 solvent for 90 minutes. The hydrolysate was then fermented for 96 hours. From the distillation process, it was obtained a bioethanol yield of 2.89%.
