Abstract

Waste production increases with the increase in population, urbanization rate and people's income. Garbage is a contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which can cause global warming. The Indonesian government is still committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and working to reduce / limit the increase in temperature below 1.50C. Karangasem Regency, is on the island of Bali, with a population in 2018 of 414,800 people. The population is spread across 8 sub-districts with the population growth rate in Karangasem averaging 0.88% per year. The distribution of the population will be directly proportional to the distribution of solid waste produced. It is important to do an inventory of GHG emissions to determine the amount of emissions in Karangasem Regency. The method for calculating municipal solid waste will be carried out using the First Order Decay method contained in the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) Guidelines. From the calculation results, GHG emissions have been obtained in each sub-district in Karangasem Regency. Total GHG emissions in 2019 amounted to 11,764 tons CO2-e, with the highest GHG emission contributor, namely Karangasem District with 2,302 tons CO2-e and the lowest being Sidemen District with 894 tons CO2-e. With this research, it is hoped that stakeholders will be able to make efforts (mitigation) that can reduce these GHG emissions.

Abstract

The development of renewable energy from microalgae sources is still being studied to overcome the world energy crisis, one of which is biodiesel from Spirulina platensis. However, the extraction process from Spirulina platensis to obtain oil leaving waste called Spirulina platensis residue (SPR). SPR still contains carbohydrates in the form of cellulose in cell walls and starch in plastids. Carbohydrates can be converted into bioethanol through the hydrolysis process. To optimize the enzymatic hydrolysis of carbohydrates, pretreatment is needed to break down the cell walls. One method of pretreatment is ultrasonication. This study aimed to determine the effect of ultrasonication pretreatment on enzymatic hydrolysis. Ultrasonication was carried out with time variations (15, 30, and 45 minutes) then continued hydrolysis at 40 oC for 8 hours using α-amylase and glucosidase (1: 1) enzymes. The results of hydrolysis in the form of reducing sugars were analyzed using the Nelson Somogyi method and obtained an optimal pretreatment time is 30 minutes with a reducing sugar concentration of 2.493,3 mg/L

Abstract

Silica is mainly used in the production of rubber, glass, cement, glass, ceramics, paper, cosmetics, electronics, paintings, healthcare and other industries. Kalirejo village has a potential abundant resource of silica minerals. However, to refine it, high cost of extraction should be done to obtain high purity of silica. Different refining methods influence different purity of the silica. The purpose of this research was to study the refining process of mineral rock silica from Kalirejo village, Kokap, Kulonprogo by emplying simple and cheap solid-liquid extraction. Extraction was done by varying the particle size at 100 - 200 mesh, while NaOH concentration was varied in 0.5 N to 5 N.  Results showed that minerals taken from Kalirejo village was dominated by silica (23%).  The largest extract (4.89 gram) was obtained at 200 mesh and using NaOH 5 N with yield of 15.07%. Higher NaOH and higher particle size enhanced the extraction yield. This finding could help small communities in Kalirejo village to enhance the quality of silica by employing simple and cheap extraction process.

Abstract

Sungai Suko, Drono village, Ngawen sub-district, Klaten district, is located near residential area and tofu factory, the possibility of water contamination is quite high, which is caused by household waste. This river water can be processed into clean water by a coagulation process of the Jar Test method using coagulant alum, PAC and chlorine. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum dose of coagulant in processing Suko river water into clean water using the Jar test method and knowing which coagulant is most suitable for processing the Suko river water into clean water. This research method is to use the Jar Test experiment to determine the optimum coagulant dose in processing Suko river water into clean water. The quality of the water samples before the experiment were tested which included the physical parameters, i.e. temperature, color, odor, and turbidity, also the chemical parameters, i.e. Fe, hardness, CO2, alkalinity, pH, COD, BOD, then the experimental results will determine the level of water clarity. The results showed that the optimum alum content in the experiment was 120 ppm by adding 6 mL of alum to 500 mL of water, the optimum level of PAC in the experiment is 200 ppm by adding 10 mL of PAC to 500 mL of water, and the optimum chlorine level in the experiment is 160 ppm by adding 8 mL of chlorine to 500 mL of water.

Abstract

Groundwater in the UPN Veteran Yogyakarta integrated campus complex smells and has a reddish brown color, and if the water also causes sediment in the water reservoir, it is assumed that the groundwater contains quite high levels of Ferro (Fe) and Manganese (Mn). Efforts are needed to reduce levels of Ferro (Fe) and Manganese (Mn) in accordance with the required regulations. The main focus of this research is to make a prototype of a clean water filter instrument to reduce levels of Ferro (Fe) and Manganese (Mn) in well water which functions to filter well water into clean water that is fit for consumption in accordance with the standards of the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia number 32 at 2017. Based on the results of the well water quality test, 4 water quality parameters have a value that exceeds the required quality standard threshold, namely the pH value, Ferro (Fe) content, Manganese (Mn) content, and Cadmium (Cd) content. The composition of the water filter media composition is designed based on the results of the preliminary test analysis of the quality of well water as an example of raw water. The water filter tube is made of 4 inch diameter PVC pipe with a length of 80 cm. The composition of the filter media consists of: activated carbon, 25 cm; ceramic powder, 25 cm; volcanic sand, 15 cm; and gravel, 10 cm

Abstract

Pemerintah Indonesia berusaha untuk menggurangi penggunaan bahan bakar fosil dengan mendorong adanya transisi ke sumber energi terbarukan. Bioetanol merupakan salah satu alternatif energi terbarukan yang mampu mengurangi penggunaan bensin di sektor transportasi. Bioetanol dapat diproduksi dari spirulina platensis residu (SPR) yang masih mengandung karbohidrat yang tinggi. Untuk memaksimalkan perolehan bioethanol diperlukan proses pretreatment yang sesuai untuk memecah dinding sel SPR sehingga diperoleh glukosa yang siap difermentasi. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan tiga metode pretreatment yaitu ultrasonikasi, autoclave dan enzimatis. Pretreatment dengan ultrasonikasi dilakukan dengan ultasonicator batch 40 kHz selama 30 menit dan menghasilkan glukosa sebesar 147,1154 mg/L. Sedangkan dengan autoclave pada suhu 121 oC selama 30 menit menghasilkan glukosa sebesar 21.15385 mg/L. Pretreatmen enzimatis dilakukan dengan menggunakan kombinasi enzim α-amylase dan amyloglucosidase (1:0; 0,75: 0,25; 0,5:0,5; 0,25:0,75 dan 0:1) pada suhu 40 oC selama 180 menit. Yield glukosa maksimum diperoleh pada pengguanaan enzim α-amylase: amyloglucosidase = 0,25:0,75 yaitu sebesar 33,15%.

Abstract

Indonesia biomass waste is a potential feedstock as a source of renewable energy since it can be converted into carcoal briquettes. However, the production of the briquettes using pyrolysis process using the agricultural waste was lacking. In this research, briquette was made from palm shells,  corncob and soybean stem wood due to its high availability and have high cellulose content. The purpose of this research was to produce briquettes from three kind of raw materials by employing pyrolysis process and compared the characteristics. The briquette was made from different type of raw materials (palm shells, corncob and soybean stem) and  the concentration of binder : 3-7 %. Pyrolysis was done at  500 °C, and 100 kg / cm2 of pressing pressure. Results showed that, the best charcoal briquette was achieved from palm shells by using 5% binder, which resulted 4,1% moisture content, 3.4% ash content,  15% volatile matter content, 77.5% carbon content,  7075 cal/g calorific value and  1.4 kg/cm2 compresive strength. It is found that the concentration of binder and raw material influenced the quality of the briquettes. In overall, the production of the briquettes by employing pyrolysis method could meet the standard.
