Abstract

ABSTRAK: Proses ekstraksi minyak atsiri menjadi penting diperhatikan untuk menghasilkan rendemen yang lebih tinggi. Ekstraksi minyak sereh wangi yang biasa dilakukan adalah dengan maerasi, destilasi fraksinasi bertingkat, soxhlet dan proses konvensional lainnya. Hasil ekstrak dari minyak sereh wangi dengan komponen paling tinggi adalah sitronelal yaitu 35%. Sitronelal bermanfaat untuk pembuatan parfum, aerosol, detergen dan masih banyak yang lainnya. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan sintesis sitronelal dari sereh wangi menggunakan ekstraksi dengan bantuan gelombang mikro. Alat ekstraktor dibuat dengan memodifikasi alat ekstraktor berupa microwave yang diberi labu alas bulat sebagai media untuk bahan sereh wangi dan pelarut metanol dan n-heksan. Variabel yang berpengaruh antara lain waktu dan volume pelarut. Waktu yang digunakan 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 menit, daya sebesar 10, 20, 30, 50 W dan variasi volume pelarut metanol sebanyak 50, 100, 150 dan 200 ml.  Hasil penelitian diperoleh dengan waktu yang singkat dengan variabel beda daya diperoleh dalam waktu 5 menit diperoleh ekstrak sitronelal sebesar 30,1%. Pada volume yang rendah 50 ml diperoleh ekstrak sitronelal sebanyak 32,5%. Hasil perolehan sintesis sitronelal menggunakan bantuan gelombang mikro dan pelarut etanol ini lebih kecil dibandingkan ekstraksi evaporasi yang dapat mengekstrak sitronelal hingga mencapai 36%.Kata Kunci: ekstraksi; gelombang mikro; sitronelal ABSTRACT: The process of extracting essential oils is important to note in order to produce a higher yield. The extraction of citronella oil is commonly done with maerasi, stratified fractionation distillation, soxhlet and other conventional processes. The extract from citronella oil with the highest component was citronellal which was 35%. Sitronelal is useful for making perfumes, aerosols, detergents and many others. In this study, citronellal synthesis of citronella was done using microwave extraction. The extractor is made by modifying the extractor in the form of a microwave which is given a round bottom flask as a medium for the ingredients of citronella with metanol and n-hexan solvent. The variables that influence include time and volume of solvent. Time used 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 min, power 10, 20, 30, 50 W and variation of methanol solvent volume of 50, 100, 150 and 200 ml. The results obtained with a short time with variable power difference obtained within 5 minutes obtained 30 cm of sitronelal extract. At a low volume of 50 ml citronellal extract obtained as much as 32.5%. The result of citronellal synthesis using microwaves and ethanol solvent is smaller than evaporative extraction which can extract citronellal up to 36%.Keywords: extraction; microwave; citronellal

Abstract

Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) adalah sel pembangkit listrik yang menggunakan membran elektrolit sebagai sarana transportasi hidrogen/proton. Membran yang banyak digunakan adalah Nafion. Akan tetapi NafionÒmemiliki masalah metanol crossover, tidak tahan terhadap suhu tinggi dan harganya mahal. Pada penelitian ini difokuskan pada pembuatan membran pengganti Nafion untuk aplikasi DMFC. Membran yang digunakan untuk DMFC adalah dari jenis PEEK. Membran PEEK telah dimodifikasi dengan menggunakan proses sulfonasi pada suhu 60oC selama 3 jam dan ditambahkan clay sebagai filler dalam pelarut n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). Karakteristik membran dapat dilihat dari morfologi membran, struktur membran, permeabilitas metanol, konduktivitas proton. Hasil penelitian menunjukan dengan sulfonasi 60oC selama 3 jam dianggap sebagai kondisi optimum pada penelitian sebelumnya, dengan penambahan clay 1%, 3%, 5% wt, penambahan sebanyak 1% dianggap sebagai penambahan optimum, menghasilkan konduktifitas 2.02E-03 S/cm, swelling 51.85% (air) 52.74% (metanol), permeabilitas 1,2E-05 cm2/s (refraktometer)1.5E-05 cm2/s (kurva kalibrasi), pengujian dan perhitungan permeabilitas dengan menggunakan 2 cara, yaitu refraktometer dan kurva kalibrasi hasilnya tidak jauh berbeda, sehingga kedua cara tersebut dapat digunakan, sehingga komposit sPEEK-Clay dengan penambahan 1% Clay yang optimum dapat digunakan untuk membrane pada DMFC.

Abstract

Bioethanol is an alternative fuel that has potential to replace the oil fuel. The bioethanol feedstock can be derived from the green algae Spirogyra sp that is rarely exploited. High carbohydrates content in the Spirogyra sp algae is highly potential to be developed into ethanol through chemical and biological processes. This research is done through several stages: preparation of raw material, hydrolysis using sulfuric acid 0,2 M, and fermentation using Saccharomyses cerevisiae in an anaerob condition. The objective of this study is to find out the optimum reaction time and optimum quantity of Saccharomyses cerevisiae in the fermentation process. Variations of reaction time and yeast quantity are applied; those are 3, 4, 5 and 6 days for reaction time, and 0,5%; 0,75%; 1%; 1,25%; 1,5%; and 1,75% for yeast quantity. The stoichiometric calculation is used to analyse the result of this experiment. The result shows that the optimum duration for the fermentation is 5 days and the optimum quantity of yeast is 1% by weight. The condition of fermentation process must be held in pH of 4,5 and temperature of 30oC. The produced alcohol in those condition is 0,0613 mol.

Abstract

In this research, the effect of ultrasonic on the transesterification reaction of waste cooking oil to biodiesel is studied. The biodiesel production from waste cooking oil is conducted in two process stages. All reactions are conducted with the ultrasonic power of 750 watt and frequency of 20 kHz. The first stage is the esterification process that aims to reduce the free fatty acid (FFA) contents using acid catalyst. The esterification reaction is carried out in certain condition. The second stage is the production of biodiesel through transesterification using alkaline catalyst. The parameters being studied are the effect temperature and ultrasonic amplitude to the transesterification reaction. The results shows that the FFA content can be reduced to 0,77% using sulfuric acid catalyst 1% by weight of oil, methanol to oil ratio of 6:1 and a reaction time of 60 minutes. Then, the oil is converted into biodiesel using KOH catalyst. The obtained conversion is 83% with the catalyst amount of 1% by weight of oil, methanol to oil ratio of 6:1, frequency of 20 kHz, amplitude of 50%, temperature of 60oC and reaction time of 40 minutes. The biodiesel has a density of 879 kg /m3 , 5,67 cst of viscosity, flash point of 158oC, pour point of 16oC, water content 0,0642% and caloric value 8521,1 kkal/kg.

Abstract

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) method has been applied and is growing in number of textile wastewater treatment. Textile industries are commonly using synthetic dyes in the dyeing process and will produce coloured-wastewater that is still contain of organic compound and is hard to be degraded. One of most frequently used synthetic dyes in textile industries is direct dyes. Direct dyes wastewater consists of azo bound whereby difficult to eliminate the colour and the concentration itself, thus an appropriate treatment such as AOPs is considered. The AOPs process to degrade direct dyes wastewater in this research uses a combination of H2O2 with catalyst MnO2. Parameter variation that carried out, are the variation of the ratio of wastewater and H2O2 volume, namely 1:1; 2:1 and 1:2. Whilst the using of mass of catalyst MnO2 is 1 g for each sample variation, namely 1 g for 250 ml and 500 ml H2O2. The results obtained after the BOD, COD and pH tests, are 230 mg/l, 784 mg/l and 5,26 respectively. This result is showed by the sample with variation 2:1 which is delivering the lowest values of BOD, COD and pH amongst the three sample variations mentioned
