Abstract

Porang tubers (Amorphophallus oncophyllus) contain very high levels of glucomannan and have many benefits in various fields of health, pharmaceuticals, industry, and food. Apart from having great benefits, porang tubers contain calcium oxalate which can cause itching if consumed directly, irritation, and kidney stones. This study aimed to determine the decrease in oxalate levels in porang tubers using various concentrations and types of immersion media in porang. The types of immersion media are water, salt, alcohol, and vinegar. Water immersion was carried out at 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, and 70°C. Immersion with salt was carried out at concentrations of 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, and 14%. Immersion with alcohol was carried out at concentrations of 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60%. The vinegar immersion was carried out at concentrations of 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%. Oxalate levels were analyzed by the permanganate titration method. The results of immersion porang with dice and long slices in this study showed that water with a temperature of 50°C in the 5th immersion, alcohol with a concentration of 60% in the 5th immersion, salt solution with a concentration of 14% in the 5th immersion, and acetic acid with a concentration of 30% in the 5th immersion is the optimal result.

Abstract

First-generation biofuel is environmental quandary due to its impact to the forest conversion into plantation area. Not only environmental sector, first-generation biofuel has other issues on socioeconomic sector. It consumes crops as its feedstock which will be a conflict between food and energy source. This conflict will impact the vulnerable people as the raising food price. Molasses-based bioethanol is second-generation biofuel which more beneficial from environmental, economic, and social aspect. Molasses-based bioethanol production process generates waste named vinasse. Vinasse can’t be directly discharged to the environment due to its high organic matter concentration which is harmful to the waterbody, soil, and air. On the other hand, high organic matter contained in vinasse can be converted into biogas and is higher potential for molasses-based bioethanol plant. This study was preliminary study for processing vinasse using thermophilic anaerobic digestion specifically by temperature direct escalation and starvation method to the mesophilic originated inoculum. The result shows robust performance of thermophilic microbia which is an averment of compatible method for enriching thermophilic anaerobic microbia in mesophilic originated inoculum.

Abstract

The increased production of biodiesel which is used as an alternative fuel has led to an increase in the by-product in the form of glycerol. This glycerol byproduct can be utilized by converting it into other compounds such as ethanol. The production of ethanol from glycerol requires a catalyst that can break down the molecular size of glycerol, one of which is zeolite. One type of zeolite that is good to use is ZSM-5, because this type of zeolite has a high degree of thermal stability, acid stability and selectivity. The catalytic properties of ZSM-5 can be improved by impregnating metals from the transition group, in this study using Ni (nickel). The results obtained that the catalyst Ni/ZSM-5 has a total acidity value of 0.920 mmol/g and has a specific surface area of 138.754 m2/g. The highest ethanol product was produced at 4 hours of sonication, which was 20.362%.

Abstract

The most important part of the membrane synthesis process so that it has the desired pores is the solidification process of the membrane, the process begins with a change from one liquid phase into two liquid phases (liquid-liquid demixing). At a certain period during demixing, the polymer-rich phase solidifies; thus, a dense membrane matrix is formed. Parameters that determine the mechanism of membrane formation are based on thermodynamics including phase separation of Solvent-Polymer-Non-solvent which is explained through a phase diagram (Flory-Huggins Theory). This study aims to determine the initial prediction of the formation of CA-PBS membranes with various solvents used and variations of non-solvents in the best system, which is proven by its characteristics and performance when applied to desalination membranes which include ternary diagrams using cloud point data, solubility parameters with Hansesn solubility, the solvent-non-solvent diffusivity using the Tyn Calus Equation approach and the morphological proofing of the membrane through SEM photos, and the performance of the resulting membrane through salt rejection and permeate flux. The results of the difference in solubility parameters are can be predicted that using DMF solvent on the CA-PBS membrane can reduce the pore size and eliminate voids and macrovoids in the membrane morphology.

Abstract

The industries that produce the most liquid waste in Indonesia are the batik and textile industries. Napthol dyes are the most widely used dyes as dyes or batik dyes which are completely non-biodegradable and can cause cancer, digestive disorders, and weakening of the body's resistance due to disease and environmental pollution. One of the processing methods currently being developed to degrade color in liquid waste is the photocatalyst method. The photocatalyst method can use a photocatalyst semiconductor in the form of TiO2 with a supporting material in the form of SiO2. SiO2 as a supporting material can be obtained from the utilization of the local potential of Karangwuni Kulon Progo beach sand. Dye processing was carried out by varying the irradiation time and concentration of Naphtol Jeans. The degradation process was applied to a 25 ml sample solution with the addition of 5 gr/L catalyst for 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, and 120 hours of irradiation. This study resulted in the highest reduction in naphtol concentration at the concentration variable of 100 ppm with a percentage of 44.4687% and a long irradiation time of 120 hours.

Abstract

In a previous study conducted by Simo Tagne to designing a solar dryer based on mathematical equations for iroko wood in Cameroon, Africa. However, there is no complete simulation of the drying process on the tool, resulting in the lack of detailed elaboration of the iroko wood drying process. The purpose of this study is to simulate in detail the drying process on the tool using an ANSYS simulation. The model used in this simulation still uses the same mathematical model that has been studied before. This research begins by setting up the ANSYS application with the previous mathematical model, environmental conditions, and tool specifications. Furthermore, simulations are carried out using the ANSYS application with measurements of pressure, temperature, velocity and mass transfer. From this simulation obtained results for the distribution of pressure, temperature, velocity, and mass transfer. From all these distributions, it is sufficient to describe the drying process of the tool according to the mathematical model that has been studied previously.
