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

In this review, the discussion emphasized on the growth mechanisms of atomic layer deposition which consists of a theoretical model and experimentally growth as well as the measurement testing as evidences. The deposition process description with some testing evidences can be used to facilitate in the effort to understand the basic concept of ALD growth mechanisms. Some metal oxides like Al2O3, HfO2, and TiO2 with these employed precursors are typically used for the detailed illustration during the reaction steps. Although the surface chemistry of ALD process has been well understood, systematic description which combine a theoretical and experimentally growth mechanism is still missing. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of ALD growth mechanisms and surface chemistry which eventually able to contribute on the thin film growth processing.

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.

Abstract

The electroplating process not only produces useful products but also produces waste. Copper is one of the elements contained in waste. Waste containing copper has a major impact on the environment and human health if there is no prior treatment. One way to reduce copper levels in electroplating waste is the electrocoagulation process. This study aims to investigate the efficiency of reducing the concentration of waste at various concentrations and types of electrodes and to determine the reaction rate constants of the first and second order reactions. 60, 80 and 100 mL electroplating waste were diluted with distilled water in a 500 mL measuring flask. The two plates were clamped using a statif and a 3/4 plate immersed in wastewater. The cathode and anode are connected to a 12 volt power supply with a distance between the electrodes of 2 cm and a stirring speed of 200 rpm. Samples were taken every 0; 40; 80; 120; and 160 minutes to test Cu content with AAS. Repeating the same steps for various types of electrodes, namely Al, Fe, and CuZn. The highest efficiency at various concentrations of 80 mg/L and types of electrodes of Fe were 67.66% and 92.82% in that order. The rate constants of the first and second order reactions are 0.0096 s-1 and 0.0058 ppm1 .s-1 respectively

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.
