Abstract

Abstract - Increased production capacity of the tofu factory has an impact on increasing waste. Tofu liquid waste is one of the untapped wastes and even just thrown away. Besides, the tofu industry needs water for its processing, so more wastewater produces more than tofu solid waste. Wastewater from the making tofu process produces liquid waste which is a source of pollution for humans and the environment that will disrupt the ecosystem and environmental health.The right process for handling tofu wastewater is by an anaerobic process that converts the liquid waste fermented by bacteria into methane gas. This methane gas can be used as a new energy resource and this energy can be used for cooking or frying tofu.The results of the research are from 500 liters of tofu liquid waste treated, 149.6 liters of biogas were obtained in 21 days. It increased the quality of biogas as seen from the increase in CH4 levels by 70%, temperature in the digester by 32oC, volume in 149.6 liters, and decreasing H2S levels by 9 ppm, CO by 13 ppm, O2 by 15.1%. Based on the test results, the maximum fermentation time is 21 days.

Abstract

A facile and eco-friendly process for the synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) was carried out via hydrothermal and microwave treatment using Rambutan and Pandan leaves as carbon sources. The effects of synthesis methods on the optical and physical properties of CQDs, and the sensing activity of CQDs through Cu2+ detection are presented in this study. From the analysis, the band-gap energies of CQDs are found to be ranging from 2.52 to 3.51 eV. The CQDs solutions exhibit significant fluorescence property, in which bright cyan fluorescence can be detected under Ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation at wavelength of around 405 nm. The CQDs synthesized from Pandan and Rambutan leaves using hydrothermal method show quantum yield (QY) values at around 2.46% and 2.70%, respectively.  The FT-IR analysis recorded existing functional groups on the surface of CQDs to be of hydroxyl and carbonyl groups, which can serve as adsorption sites for the detection of Cu2+. Furthermore, this study indicates that CQDs emission from Pandan and Rambutan leaves using hydrothermal method shows the best turn-off behavior when detecting the presence of Cu2+ with minimum limit of detection (LoD) as low as 123 µM.

Abstract

Energy problems in Indonesia are issues that are not easy to solve. If the energy needs dominated by BBM continue to increase without any changes in the pattern of energy use, then Indonesia's sustainability and energy security will be disrupted. Therefore, Indonesia really needs alternative energy. Biogas is an alternative energy produced from the anaerobic degradation of organic compounds and can be a substitute for natural gas and fossil fuels. Cow's blood which is a waste from slaughterhouses can be used as a substrate for anaerobic biogas production by rumen and molasses. The objectives of this study are (i) To examine the comparison of the concentration of blood and molasses added to the volume of biogas produced, (ii) To examine the effect of pasteurization on blood on the volume of biogas produced, (iii) To examine the effect of initial system pH regulation on the volume of biogas produced, (iv) Assessing the pH setting and without adjusting the pH after measuring the volume of biogas produced. This research was conducted by making variations in the composition of feeds, pH stabilization, and blood pasteurization. The process of biogas formation is carried out for 40 days at room temperature with the response of quantitative results in the form of biogas volume every 2 days. Biogas production in cow's blood gets the best results at C/N 30, using pH 8. Pretreatment of blood pasteurization and pH stabilization also shows the best biogas results.
