Abstract

Cashew shell waste can be utilized as a raw material for one of the tile paint and brake oil industries. The conventional extraction process mostly provides less mass transfer, so the extraction process is slow and not maximal. Excessive amounts of solvents are often used but make the process expensive and pollute the environment. The right solution in extracting is with the help of ultrasonic. This study aims to obtain an optimization of cashew oil extraction process using ultrasonic waves with a frequency of 42 kHz. The effect studied was the ratio of cashew powder to n-hexane solvents and extraction time. The surface response method with the design of Central Composite Design was used to obtain a mathematical model that illustrates the relationship between the yield of cashew shell oil to the ratio and time of extraction. The results showed that the optimum condition of cashew nut oil extraction in the comparison composition of cashew skin powder against n-hexane solvent was 1: 3.25 (g / g) for 90 minutes with a yield of 36.15%. Cashew skin oil contains anacardic acid, cardanol, and other phenol compounds.

Abstract

A life cycle assessment (LCA) has been performed on sorbitol production from glucose, which aims to quantify and evaluate the environmental impacts that produced from the process. SuperPro Designer software was employed to perform the process simulation, while SimaPro was used to quantify the LCA.Potency of global warming, acidification, eutrophication, photochemical oxidants creation, abiotic depletion, and ozone layer depletion were evaluated. A gate-to-gate LCA study of sorbitol production showed that global warming potential (GWP) had the largest impact to environment with the value of 3.551 kg CO2 eq/kg sorbitol. Glucose and electricity consumption were known as two major contributors to GWP, and hydrogen reactor was the main consumer of electricity. The use of glucose were responsible for more than 50% of total environmentalimpact in each category. Performing heat integration in sorbitol processing is highly recommended for gate-togate system to reduce energy demand, thus decreasing the environmental impacts. Therefore, this LCA study may be applied to perform a sustainable improvement on sorbitol production process.Keywords: sorbitol; life cycle assessment; global warming potential

Abstract

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engine that attracts the world attention. Indonesia is one of the biggest coconut producers in the world. Coconut meat waste is known to still contain up to 24% wt of vegetable oil. The potential of this coconut waste can be used for producing biodiesel that has economical value. This research uses coconut waste as the main raw material. The biodiesel production process is carried out by in-situ transesterification method with methanol as the solvent and reactant; and calcium oxide powder as the catalyst. The catalyst is activated by stirring and heating in methanol. The oil percentage in the coconut waste obtained from soxhletation is 20 % wt. The ratio of methanol to coconut waste of 12.5:1 (v/w) and catalyst to coconut waste of 3.5 % wt results the biodiesel yield of 96.43 % mol. The biodiesel flash point at this variable is 116 °C. This value has met the Badan Standar Nasional (BSN) standard

Abstract

The use of bottles made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) has been increasing along with the development of ready-to-drink products. This type of packaging is very popular with the beverage industry because it is easily formed, strong, transparent, hygienic and economical. The increase in the use of PET bottles has an impact on the amount of waste that also increases so that it can become an environmental problem if it is not handled properly. The waste is still untapped in Indonesia, its utilization has only reached the stage of producing PET chopped which are then exported to countries that have beverage bottle recycling industries. This study aims to review the handling of used bottle waste, processing methods, shortcomings and advantages of products where this review is based on industry data and scientific articles. The consumption of beverages in PET bottle packaging which is increasing every year is a very promising potential for the development of research and the construction of industries related to processing used PET bottles in Indonesia

Abstract

The utilization of chemical flooding to improve oil production in a large scale has many used for the oil field. Some cases have a success, and the others have fail when full scale project implemented. Before chemical flooding conducted, once of the recommended best practice to be done is chemical compatibility based on the reservoir characteristic of the layer as a target in improving oil recovery. Hence, coreflooding test in the laboratory to be an important thing to conduct in other to knows and determine the chemical performance after screening phase. The study of coreflooding test in the laboratory, shows that the measurement of surfactant and polymer properties have a good results to be used as an injection fluid in other to improve oil production. Surfactant - polymer injection which has concentrations of 3000 ppm and 1000 ppm with injection mechanism of 0.3 PV surfactant and 0.2 PV polymer gives the result of improving oil production it about 12.89%. Furthermore, based on the qualitative analysis obtained that the used of surfactant SS-B8020 as an injection fluid shown that plugging has not occurred in the reservoir rock pores, it means that the injection fluid was compatible with these reservoir rock.
