Abstract

Peanut oil is a peanut product that is used for the food industry. The high content of fatty acids in the form of oleic acid causes peanut oil to break down easily, so it is necessary to add antioxidants to inhibit the oxidation process.The natural antioxidant used is turmeric. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the addition of turmeric antioxidants on the peroxide rate of peanut oil. The research method for calculating the peroxide number uses iodometric titration. The results showed that the greater the concentration of turmeric simplicia added to peanut oil, the greater the antioxidant activity. The greatest antioxidant activity was obtained from the weight of simplicia 0.4 g with a long immersion period of 7 days, which resulted in a peanut oil peroxide value of 14.5 ml N / gr.

Abstract

Nowadays, biocomposite materials are required for particular needs. Coconut husk has a potential to be biocomposite using a resin produced by the laccifer lacca kerr (kerria lacca), an insect. This work was aimed to study the use of the lacca kerr resin to produce a biocomposite of coconut coir based. In the experimental, firstly, the cleaned coconut husks were chopped then mixed with lacca kerr resin and alcohol to make a composite dough. Then the dough were pressed with 130 psig at a 100oC within15 minutes. After that, the biocomposite was allowed to ambient temperature, then it properties were observed. To find the best product properties, the ratio of basic materials were varied. The ratio of coconut husk: lacca kerr resin was used ranged from 0.6 g/mL to 1.4 g/mL. The characterization of product properties were carried out based on ASTM D-638 and under guidance of the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 03-2105-2006. Based on results, it was found that the best biocomposite observed had properties such as density of 0.45 g/cm3 , water content of 8.8% (maximum SNI requirement of 14%), degree of swelling of 67.6%, tensile strength of 43.4 kgf / cm2 (minimum SNI requirement of 3, 1 kgf / cm2 ), Young's modulus of 1219.2 kgf/cm2 , elongation of 67.7%, conductivity of 1.8 10-8 /.m. Some of these characteristics have met the Indonesian national standard (SNI).

Abstract

Methylene blue is one of dying waste that causes harmful effect both enviromental and public health risks. A method to overcome the problem is to adsorb it with the activated carbon. Apart from that, corn cob is potential biomass with can convert to activated carbon. The aim of this research is to syntethic and to modify corn cob activated carbon with iron oxide. It is expected to increase the afinity of methylene blue to the activated carbon surface. The modification is done by wet impregnation and the effectiveness of the impregnated corn cob activated carbon is studied by analyse the persen removal of methylene blue in every interval time. The result show that in the concentration range of Fe load impregnation between 1%-3% which has been used, the corn cob activated carbon with concentration of Fe load 2% has the most optimum ability in methylene blue adsorption with the adsorption capacity 44,9%. Moreover, the effect pH shows that in acidic condition the adsorption of methylen blue is better than in netral condition

Abstract

Several factors that influence the coagulation process in reducing chemical oxygen demand (COD) in wastewater are processing time, coagulant dose and type of coagulant. The effect of these three factors on the reduction of COD in tempeh industrial wastewater during the coagulation process has been investigated by Hidayah (2018). However, kinetic studies in depth have not been done by Hidayah (2018). Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a new kinetic model that can predict the performance of the coagulation process. It is hoped that the kinetic model can be used in a wider range of operating conditions. In this study, the pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetic models were tested to get the best model. Based on simulation results, both models produced almost the same accuracy. For reason of simplification, the pseudo first order model was chosen as the basic model in this study. Furthermore, modifications were made to the pseudo first order model so that the effect of processing time, coagulant dose and type of coagulant appeared in the model. This kinetic model was successfully tested to predict the coagulation performance of study of Hidayah (2018) with an average Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 10.8%.

Abstract

Biogas is a product of the bio-decomposition process in anaerobic conditions. Methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are the compounds of biogas that act in determining the quality of biogas. When the CH4 level is high, the biogas will have a high caloric value; conversely, the increased CO2 levels result in low biogas heating value. One effort to purify biogas is the adsorption process using natural zeolite. Natural zeolite should be modified into ZSM-5 because it has a greater pore diameter than natural zeolite. It is expected that the increase of the efficiency of CO2 adsorption is more significant than natural zeolite. ZSM-5, which is altered from natural zeolite, will be compared to the effectiveness of CO2 adsorption compared to natural zeolite

Abstract

Foodstuffs need proper packaging to prevent spoilage. The use of conventional plastics for packaging has caused environmental problems. It is necessary to develop environmentally friendly packaging as biodegradable plastic. The purpose of this study was to isolate cellulose from corn cobs with three different procedures to determine the best procedure for producing cellulose, as evidenced by the color and results of FTIR analysis. The best cellulose yields are used to make biodegradable plastic films combined with starch and a glycerol plasticizer, sodium montmorillonite nanoclay filler, and clove leaf essential oil. The film that has been made is continued with characterization in the form of analysis of degradation ability, analysis of volatility mass fraction (%), analysis of swelling degree (%), and water solubility (%). The results of this study found that the best cellulose isolation was produced by a procedure 2. The results of the analysis of the degradation ability of the film showed that it was under SNI 7188.7: 2016 with the fastest degradation results within four days with the addition of SMMT. The results of the VMF (%) analysis showed that the presence of EO and SMMT in the composition causes the VMF (%) value to be below. The results of the SD (%) analysis show that the presence of SMMT causes the SD (%) value to increase while the addition of EO causes the SD (%) value to decrease. The results of the WS (%) analysis showed that the presence of SMMT causes the WS (%) to increase, while the addition of EO to the composition variation causes the WS (%) to decrease

Abstract

Spirulina plantesis is a cyanobacteria that has many purposes such as for cosmetics, and food industry. In addition, Spirulina platensis can accumulate polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a type of bioplastic. This review discussed the potency of Spirulina platensis as a source of bioplastics and cosmetics. From the review, Spirulina contained bioactive compound, C-phycocyanin, which can inhibit cell damage and is very potential to be applied for cosmetics. The PHB content in Spirulina tends to be small compared to other microalgae. To reduce the cost of PHB from Spirulina, the biorefinery concept can be applied, by recovery the bioactive components (C-phycocyanin), while the residue can be used as a source of PHB.

Abstract

Sand mining in Tanjung Alam Village, Sei Dadap District, Asahan Regency, which is carried out with a suction machine is thought to have a negative impact on the environment. This study aims to examine the effect of sand mining on erosion and sedimentation in that river. The analysis steps begins with measuring the river profile, measuring flow velocity, measuring river discharge, measuring sediment concentration, measuring rainfall, measuring slope and calculating the estimated rate of erosion. To calculate the estimated erosion rate in this study using the USLE method and to calculate the sediment load using SNI 3414: 2008 with the depth-integrating technique. Based on the calculation results, it is known that sand mining activity causes narrowing of the river profile, accelerates river flow, increases river discharge so that it increases the rate of erosion, and sedimentation. The highest sediment load value is at point 5 which is located downstream of mining 1 and 2 with a value of 2922.48 tons/day. While the highest estimated erosion rate is at point 5 with a value of 125.9 tons/ha/year which is included in the heavy category. Measurements at each sampling point prove that sand mining activities have a high impact on increasing the rate of erosion and sedimentation in rivers.
