Abstract

Bíogas is very potential to be used as fuel because of its high content of methane. Biogas had also been developed and used by several industries as alternative fuels to substitute mineral oil, The disadvantage of biogas as fuel was its high content of hydrogen sulfide which is potentíal to pollute the ervironment. Because of this, biogas should be purified first before being used as fuel. Generally, the content of H2S can bereduced physically, chemically or biologically methods, but these methods have many disadvantages. Biogas purílìcation(also other gases) from the content of H2S using Fe-EDTA(Iron Chelated Solution) gave several advantages. The advantages were the absorbent solution can be regenerated that means a cheap operation cost, the separated sulfur was asolid (that is an economic commodity) or resídue that is easy to handle and is save to be disposal to environment. Iron Chelated Solutionwas made by solving the substance of salted iron to EDTA solution. The salt of FeCl2, was made by solving iron waste obtained from lathe machine to hydrochloric acid solution. The research of reduction of the content of H2S in biogas was conducted by contacting Fe-EDTA solution with biogas in an absorber column of 1 m height and 0. I m diameter The rich H2S solution from absorber was then flowed to the separator column to separate the solid of sulfur and its solution. The solution from separator column was then regenerated by oxidation in regenerator column. In regenerator column solution which is rich of iron reacted with oxygen from air to be Fe3. . The solution which is rich of Fe was then used again to absorb H2S in biogas. Biogas used during experiment was obtained from PT Indo Acidatama Tbk. The content of H2S in raw biogas was 2.8235 %. The result of the research showed that the concentration of absorbent influenced the reduction of the content of H2S. Absorbent solution with concentration of 0.2 M of Fe-EDTA was able to absorb 99 % of all H2S from 2.8235 % to 0.02 % in a column of I m height and 0.1 m diameter Absorbent solution with concentratíon of 0.1 M of Fe-EDTA was only able to absorb 59% of all H2S from 2.8235% to 1.2 %. The regeneration air flow rate also influence the reduction of the content of H2S in biogas. The higher the regeneration airflow rate the higher the reduction of the content of H2S.

Abstract

Mercury pollution in gold ore processing wastewater can cause environmental and health problems. A large amount of mercury pollution causes neurological disease, paralysis, loss of sense of taste, irregular speech, and death. One effective method to reduce mercury amount in the environment is adsorption. Adsorption performance is affected by several factors such as surface area of material, deacetylation degree (DD), and adsorption condition, which is indicated by contact time and mercury concentration. Nanochitosan is used in this research. Effect of deacetylation degree (85%; 87%; 95%), contact time (30;60;90;120 minutes), and variation of mercury concentration (5;10;15;20;25;30 ppm) on adsorption performance was investigated in this research. Nanochitosan in this research is characterized by FTIR, SEM-EDX, BET-BJH, and pH PZC. AAS measures adsorption performance in this research. The result shows that nanochitosan, which has the best adsorption performance, is nanochitosan with a deacetylation degree of 95%, at a contact time of 60 minutes, and mercury concentration is 15 ppm.

Abstract

Modeling of isotherm and adsorption thermodynamics in this study, leads to the determination of the classification of adsorption isotherms and the determination of the amount of energy and entropy to determine the impeccability of the process. As an adsorbent, a potassium persulfate crosslinked chitosan microcapsule was synthesized through a microencaptulation process using a solvent evaporation method with a carboxy methyl cellulose CMC coating. The characteristics of the chitosan microcapsules that were formed had a degree of deacetylation of 53,92 %, and a bn mutant diameter around 1-100 µm. Test materials used azo methyl orange dyes, which are often found in industrial waste and laboratory waste. Observations were made with variations in the concentration of methyl orange solution 5, 7,5, 10, 12,5, 15, 17,5 and 20 ppm at temperatures of 30, 40 and 50 ° C. The calculation results show that the adsorption isotherm model obtained approaches the Langmuir isotherm model. The results of the analysis of temperature effects obtained positive Gibbs energy change values (ΔG) so that the adsorption process takes place non-spontaneously. The values of  enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) of 33,86 kJ / mol and 0,0899 kJ / mol.K.  This indicates that adsorption occurs chemically adsorption, is endothermic and adsorbat is not completely adsorbed.

Abstract

A rapid growth of  textile industry creates a new problems  on environment, one of those is the presence of dye waste. Methylene blue is one of the dyes which is toxic to living things, one of those triggers cyanosis for human and bother photosyntesis  of algae. Therefore, it needs the effort to reduce, one of those is by adsorption. This study aims to determined the effect of dosage adsorbent variation and contact time variation to adsorb methylene blue. Adsorption is an adsorbate molecule absorption process that occurs on the surface of the adsorbent. This study used fly ash from PG. Pagottan and has been activated by NaOH. Measure method of this study using UV-Vis Spectrophotometry to measure concentration of methylene blue at maximum wavelenght. Based on data, NaOH-activated fly ash and non-activated fly ash  following Langmuir isotherm adsorption, it mean a monolayer site is formed. Adsorption capacity also increase after activation, it about 21,74 mg/g to 23, 25 mg/g. Based on the study fly ash has a potential as a new adsorbent.

Abstract

Cassava (Manihot utilissima) is a staple food beside rice and corn for Indonesia people. Cassava peel is a waste of cassava processing agroindustries such as  tapioca flour industry, fermentation industry, and staple food industry. This waste contains a fairly high carbon element of 59,31%. Cassava peel has the potential to be used as raw material for activated carbon because of its high carbon content. Activated carbon production involved some steps such as preparing raw materials, carbonization, activation, neutralization, and analysis of water content, ash, iodine number, and analysis of the pore surface area of activated carbon. Activated carbon was activated using NaOH and KOH with concentrations of 0.1; 0,2; 0,3; 0,4; and 0,5N. The results showed that activated carbon which activated with 0,4N NaOH and 0,5N KOH provided the closest parameter with SNI 06-3730-1995 standard. The use of NaOH activator can increase the surface area of activated carbon compared to KOH activator.
