Abstract

Abundant supplies of coal make this compound as alternative fuels, especially for the industry. However, using of coal has shortcomings; incomplete combustion of coal produces solid waste that often called the fly ash. Results of mineral analysis showed that fly ash contain metal oxides such as silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3) and iron (Fe2O3). The presence of silica and alumina components allows fly ash to be synthesized into materials that have structure similar to zeolite. This material is known as zeolite like materials (ZLM).This study aims to synthesize ZLM of fly ash as adsorbent material. To determine the successful of synthesis also has been analyzed physicochemical properties of zeolite-like material. Then the results are used as adsorbent of textile dyes.The results showed that fly ash can be synthesized into zeolite-like material, this is indicated by the increasing of physicochemical properties. The experiment shown that the adsorption ability of fly ash in the reduction of textile dyes after modifiedis better.

Abstract

The use of fuel oil from year to year until now has experienced a rapid increase, due to increasing population growth in vehicle operations and the development of industries that require fuel. The position of renewable energy has not been able to shift the position of petroleum fuels to the needs of the world market. The RCC unit is secondary processing that converts heavy fraction hydrocarbons to light fraction hydrocarbons with the help of using catalysts into high-value petroleum products such as Naphtha, LPG, and Light Cycle Oil. RCC unit has three main parts of the process, namely riser, stripper, and regenerator, with the use of the main raw material of residue and using a catalyst. This paper aims at reviewing recent journals concerning the catalyst applied in the RCC unit. The basis of the RCC unit to be reviewed is from an existing RCC unit in Indonesia. The development of research on catalysts and regeneration technology in the RCC unit has experienced rapid development until now. It is expected that this paper can contribute to the future development and application of catalysts for the RCC unit, both for national and international levels.

Abstract

Cement is a national strategic commodity. Based on data from the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia in 2017, the total installed capacity of the national cement industry is 92.7 million tons per year with a consumption rate of 65 million tons per year. The raw materials for the cement production process are limestone, iron sand, clay, silica sand, and gypsum. A comparison of the composition of each raw material influences the type and characteristics of the cement produced. Gypsum is a raw material that affects the quality of the final cement product. Gypsum acts to regulate the hardening time and inhibits the binding time so that it can be used for a long time. This research was conducted to study the effect of gypsum composition on setting time in the Portland Composite Cement (PCC) production process. Gypsum was Tanjung Jati gypsum. Variation of gypsum composition were 0-5% -weight.  Based on SNI 15-2049-2004, the minimum initial setting time is 45 minutes and the maximum final setting time is 375 minutes. Based on the results of the research, PCC cement with 0 - 5%--weight gypsum met these standards. Increased gypsum composition causes an increase in both initial and final setting time.

Abstract

Nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles have been proven and can be used in a variety of important applications. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the production process of NiO nanoparticles using the industrial co-precipitation method in terms of engineering and economic evaluation. Specifically, research was conducted by varying raw materials, product selling prices (GPM), equipment prices, and number of employees, which are compared with several economic parameters such as total investment cost (TIC), gross profit margin (GPM), break even point (BEP), payback period (PBP), net present value (NPV), and cumulative net present value (CNPV). The results showed that the PBP analysis showed that the investment would be profitable after more than 4 years with minimum product sales (GPM) of at least 90% and an increase in the price of raw materials no more than 15% of the ideal price. From this economic evaluation analysis, we can conclude that this project is feasible to run.

Abstract

White Portland cement is a fine, gray or white powder, which consists of a mixture of hydraulic cement materials consisting mainly of calcium silicate, aluminate, and aluminoferrite. The manufacture of white portland cement requires special raw material requirements and manufacturing processes, such as raw materials containing very low iron oxides and manganese oxides. Various tests were carried out to obtain white cement of good quality and meet Indonesian National Standards or Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI). The tests included raw material testing (Lost on Ignition test, LOI) on various compositions and LOI test, % SO3 test, and color test on white Portland cement. The results showed that the greater the % SO3, the strength of white Portland cement will decrease and the greater the LOI, the white Portland cement will be easily damaged. So from the results of the study obtained a good raw material composition for white Portland cement is 89% white slag, 4% limestone, and 7% gypsum. All test results meet Indonesian National Standards or SNI.

Abstract

Alkylation of olefin and isoparaffin produces spent acid waste containing high concentration of hydrocarbon. The content of sulphuric acid and hydrocarbon in spent acid put this waste into hazardous waste classification, therefore must be treated to avoid environmental pollution. Hydrocarbon separation can be carried out using precipitation. Two precipitation methods were applied to precipitate hydrocarbon, namely neutralization, and antisolvent precipitation. Neutralization was conducted using NaOH, CaCO3, and CaO. Meanwhile, antisolvent precipitation was performed using water. Precipitation of hydrocarbon using CaCO3 and CaO showed very satisfying results. On the other hand, NaOH was failed to precipitate hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbon was also precipitated using water as antisolvent at ratio of spent acid:water (g/ml) of 200.

Abstract

A study has been made in making purple sweet potato flour through the hydrolysis process using dilute citric acid. Sweet potatoes cut 3-5 mm, soaked in citric acid in various concentrations for a certain period, washed and drained. Sweet potatoes were then roasted at 70 degrees Celsius for 24 hours and then sieved with a mesh size of 200. The sieve results were analyzed for their physical, physicochemical content and compared with wheat flour. Soaking purple sweet potato using 0.01% citric acid produces purple sweet potato flour which is brightly colored, fine flour, decreasing the ash content with a very slight acid flour odor. The carbohydrate content of sweet potatoes is almost the same as wheat flour, and the fiber content of sweet potatoes is higher.
