Abstract

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is palm oil processing industrial waste that cannot be discharged directly into water bodies. Therefore, this waste must be treated. One method that can be used to treat it is coagulation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of coagulant doses on the coagulation process for treating the POME through experimental and kinetic analysis. The alum dose was varied to 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 g/L. The volume of treated waste was 1 L. Before adding alum, the pH of POME was adjusted to 7.0 with the addition of technical grade NaOH. The coagulation process was carried out for 180 minutes at room temperature. Every 20 minutes, the pH of the liquid was measured and a fluid sample as much as ±50 mL was taken to be settled for 24 hours. Next, the total suspended solid (TSS) concentration in the supernatant was analyzed. The results showed that the addition of alum could decrease the liquid pH and increase the TSS of the liquid. The coagulation process for 180 minutes resulted in a TSS reduction efficiency of 33.3, 33.3, 37.1, 1.7, -17.8% at alum doses of 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 g/L respectively. The first-order kinetic model provided a better prediction than the second-order kinetic model with R2 values of 0.7876-0.9707 and 0.2746-0.8912, respectively.

Abstract

Methylene blue (MB) is wastewater from the textile industry. This dye is difficult to degrade naturally because it has a benzene group in its chemical chain. There are several ways to reduce waste, one of the economical ways is by using adsorption. In this study, MB was adsorbed using activated carbon from post-anthesis male flower palm oil (PAMF) waste which was activated using potassium hydroxide (KOH). The adsorption process was carried out at various temperatures (30, 40, and 50℃). The results showed that the addition of a KOH activator could increase the sorption capacity of methylene blue by 25.64%. The optimum temperature is suitable for the adsorption process of methylene blue with activated carbon of PAMF waste activated by KOH at a temperature of 30℃ with an adsorption capacity of 58.4793%. The adsorption equilibrium mechanism was studied using two types of adsorption isotherm models, namely the Langmuir and Freundlich models. Based on the data obtained, the MB adsorption process on activated carbon was compatible with the Freundlich model an R2 of 0.9557.

Abstract

Non Process Element (NPE) is an impurity substance that is not expected to be present in the caustic system because it can cause disruption to the process and affect the product quality. One way to minimize NPE input is through the process of clarifying raw green liquor into clean green liquor using the coagulation-flocculation method with PDADMAC and A-PAM chemicals. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of tandem flocculation agent system on lime mud NPE taking into account the quality standards of several Non Process Element (NPE) compounds in lime mud, as follows : P2O5 <1%, SiO2 < 0.5%, MgO < 0.75%, Fe2O3 < 0.3%, Mn2O3, and Al2O3 < 0.5%. The clean green liquor production uses variations in PDADMAC doses (0, 3, and 5 ppm), while the A-PAM dose is fixed at 7 ppm for each variation. The results show that the optimal dose ratio of PDADMAC: A-PAM from a technical point of view is the second variation ( PDADMAC 3 ppm: A-PAM 7 ppm), where the P₂O₅ value : 0.7159%, SiO2 : 1.4856%, MgO : 0.2234%, Fe2O3 : 0.2568%, Mn2O3 : 0.0055% , and Al2O3 : 0.5988%. But, the SiO2 and Al2O3 compounds at this dose ratio still exceed the lime mud quality standard. However, the dose ratio of PDADMAC 3 ppm : A-PAM 7 ppm showed more significant result than the other ratios.

Abstract

The biodegradable film is an attempt to reduce the use of plastics that cannot be decomposed by nature. This study described biodegradable films produced from arrowroot starch using the casting method. As a plasticizer and crosslinker, glycerol and citric acid are added. The investigation results indicate that the biodegradable film has a clear white color; the greater the amount of starch, the more opaque the color. The tensile strength test results also indicate that the biodegradable film’s tensile strength will be greater the more starch is used, but its percent elongation at break will decrease, or its characteristics will become less elastic. In contrast, adding citric acid demonstrates that the tensile strength decreases due to the hydrolysis of glycosidic linkages in starch.

Abstract

Public awareness of the dangers of using synthetic dyes has started to boost the prestige of natural dyes. The limitation of natural dyes is one of the causes of the limited use of natural dyes commercially. This research utilized purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) as a source of anthocyanins. The purpose of this study was the stabilization of anthocyanins from purple sweet potato through the co-pigmentation process. The first stage is the extraction of natural anthocyanin dyes from purple sweet potatoes using the microwave-assisted method, then stabilization of anthocyanins through a co-pigmentation process with variations in the addition of arabic gum, Fe-Alginate, and catechins at various concentrations as Total Anthocyanin Content (TAC), and stability test. The higher the concentration value of the co-pigmenting agent added to the extract, the higher the color shift, indicated by a decrease in the TAC value. The best copigmentation was obtained with green tea containing catechin concentration of 0.01 ml green tea/20 ml extract. with a TAC value of 0.1499 mg/L. Stabilization test against storage, co-pigmentation with catechins in green tea gave the best stability. While the stability against heating and oxidation, co-pigmentation with gum arabic will stabilize the condition of anthocyanin extracts.
