Abstract

Energy cannot be separated from human life. Increased energy needs for human life that are contradictory to existing fossil fuel sources can cause an energy crisis. Biomass is an alternative energy source that is environmentally friendly, economical and renewable. Biomass energy is derived from plants such as wood, rice hulls, corn head, etc. The process of converting biomass into energy can be done in several ways. They are combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification. Gasification is a technology for converting solid materials into syngas (CO, H2, and CH4) which can be used as a fuel. One of the gasifiers that have been developed is a downdraft system. The solid material we use in this study is a mahogany wood powder which has a cellulose content of up to 46.8%. Through this research, we can find out the effect of the variable of raw materials weight towards the time of flame, the quality of the fire, and the amount of gas produced. The gas produced was tested visually by lighting the fire and instrumentally tested using a tool called Chromatography Gas to determine the composition of the gas. The biggest yield syngas is 70,71% with the 18,000 seconds gas release time on the variable of mahogany wood powder weight of 3500 grams. The highest CH4 and CO Gas concentrations were 1,868% and 15.902% on the variable of 3,500 gram mahogany powder weight. While the highest concentration of H2 gas is 20.965% produced with the variable of 2,500 gram mahogany powder weight. The results of this study indicate that the more feed in the gasifier, the greater the number and composition of syngas and the longer the gas release time.

Abstract

Activated charcoal is charcoal that has been activated for increasing its surface area by opening the pores so increases the adsorption power. The surface area of the activated charcoal is between 300 and 3500 m2/g. Adsorption power from activated charcoal is very large, i.e. ¼ to 10 times the weight of activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is a good adsorbent for the adsorption of gases, liquids, and solutions. Characteristics of activated charcoal are moisture content, ash content, and absorption of the iodine. Manufacture of activated charcoal begins with soaking for 24 hours using 2N H2SO4 solution after it was drained and then roasted to remove the remaining water. Moisture content test was done by weighing 1 gram of activated charcoal and then put it in the oven at 105-1100C temperature for 120 minutes. Ash content test was by weighing 1 gram of activated charcoal and put in the furnace at a temperature of 5000C for 30 minutes, raise the temperature to 8150C for 90 minutes. Determination of the absorption of iodine is to weigh approximately 0.5 grams of activated charcoal and mix it with 50 ml of iodine solution 0.1 N. Shake it for 15 minutes. Take 10 ml of the sample solution and titrate with natrium thiosulfate solution 0.1 N. Adding amylum solution of 1% as an indicator to the titration result becomes colorless.This research produced the optimum conditions of oven temperature 10000C for 60 minutes. Activated charcoal obtained under these conditions has a good adsorption capability with high levels of iodine absorption of 529.94 mg I2/g charcoal.

Abstract

PT Petrokima Gresik produces fly ash from coal burning about 8048,89 tons in 2015. In general, one ton of coal burning can produce around 0.15 to 0.17 tons of fly ash waste. Fly ash waste can be utilized as a mixture where the main elements of fly ash are aluminum and silica, fulfilling criteria as the material having cement and geopolymer properties. Geopolymer preparation can be done by the sol-gel method at low temperature, where the emission of CO2 gas produced is a minimum amount. The problem faced is finding the right composition of geopolymer so that it produces the maximum compressive strength. One way is by designing a Taguchi experiment. The choice of the Taguchi method is based on the advantages of this method that can combine experimental results through controlled factors and optimal levels so it can achieve the maximum compressive strength of geopolymer. This research used 3 levels (-1,0,1) and 4 factors of fly ash, the solid/liquid ratio (SL), the molarity of NaOH (A), Sand/pasta geopolymer ratio (P/PG). Anova test showed significant effect on compressive strength of fly ash, S / L and A with value of 12,27> 2,90; 61,12> 2,90; 19,477> 2,90. While the value for P / PG is 1.92 <2.90 where the value of F-statistic is less than F table which means P / PG does not significantly affect the compressive strength of Geopolymer. With S/N higher is better to know the optimum composition of fly ash, S / L, A and P / PG equal to: 370 gram; 2.33 (70:30); 9 Molar, and 1.5. The prediction of Geopolymer maximum compressive strength with Taguchi method was obtained 18,71 Mpa. Keywords:  Fly ash, Optimation, Taguchi, Geopolymer

Abstract

Vinasse contains some amine, carboxyl and hydroxyl groups in it’s organic acids. These groups when being combined with other materials can be synthesized into a raw material of coating material. This research aims to break vinasse chain by hydrolysis into amino acids. Hydrolysis is carried out at 110 °C  with a residence time of 60-150 minutes (with 30-minute intervals). In addition, the comparison between the volume of vinasse and HCl is  1: 1, 1: 2, 1: 3 and 1: 4. Then the material from the hydrolysis are analyzed their groups. Quantitative analysis is required to determine the composition of vinasse that will be added in the next polimerization processing. The result showed that the optimum conditions of hydrolysis process is at 2 hours and volume HCl with the ratio of 1: 3. FTIR analysis indicated the presence of carboxyl and amines groups on hydrolyzate. The long term  goal of this research is the use of vinasse as a coating material derived from biomaterials, as well as renewable materials. It could be expected that hydrolysis under acidic conditions can be an initial step to a coating material with vinasse as a raw material base. Keywords:  Vinasse, Polimer Resin, Hydrolysis, Coating Material.

Abstract

I²-MnO2 was prepared and used to activate peroxymonosulphate for degradation of aqueous phenol. The sample was characterized by N2 adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The catalyst is highly effective in heterogeneous activation of PMS to produce sulfate radicals for phenol degradation compared with homogeneous oxidatiom. I²-MnO2 could completely remove phenol in 30 min at the conditions of 25 ppm phenol, 0.4 g/L catalyst, 2 g/L PMS, and 25 oC. A pseudo first order model would fit to phenol degradation kinetics and activation energy was obtained as 38.2 kJ/mol.
