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.

Abstract

Papaya is a tropical plant that is widely cultivated in Indonesia. Papaya seeds have a high cellulose content, so that papaya seeds can be used as raw material for adsorbents (biosorbents). Biosorbent is used to reduce environmental pollution through the absorption of various types of liquid waste including heavy metals. Fe is an essential heavy metal if in excess amounts can cause toxic effects. One of the methodes to reduce  of iron ion in wastewater is  the adsorption method is using papaya seed biosorbents. The aim of study was to determine the effectivness of using papaya seedd as bioadsorbent  to reduce of iron ion in the wastewater. Papaya seed as the adsorbent agent activated ones was used in five particle size and contact time variations in order to determine the optimum particle size and contact time of papaya seed powder to absorb the heavy metals. The results show that the optimum adsorbent particle size was 100 mesh and the optimum contact time was 60 minute. The adsorption efficiency of (Fe) metal ions in wastewater was 60%, the adsorption capacity value was 0.365 mg/g.  Kinetic modelling of adsorption process is  pseudo second order.

Abstract

Granulation is a process of monoparticle attachment with a particular mechanism to form a bigger and compact particle which is called granule. Granulation application has been used on many industries like pharmacy and agriculture industries. Research about granulation has been done continuously to get predictive models for various cases. The model which is only applicable to the specific material used in this research is expected to be useful to optimize the perfomances of the granulator in the industries. This research aims to develop the kinetics model of granule size distribution of cassava flour and its connection to granulation time by varying the mass of tapioca starch as the binder in rotary drum granulator. 2 grams of Cassava flour and tapioca starch were mixed in the rotary drum granulator and then water was sprayed during the granulation process. The duration of granulation were 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes. The variations of mass of the binder used in this research were 1, 1,5, and 2 gram. The granules were dried in the oven at 80°C until 30 minutes, and afterwards the granules were screened through various screen layers with different mesh size. The results of this research show that binder mass variations do not influence the layering rate of granule, and the increase of binder mass will decrease the birth rate.

Abstract

Separation and capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) has become a very hot topic of discussion recently. The increasing amount of carbon dioxide in the environment makes environmental pollution very significant. Membrane technology is one of the alternative carbon separation processes that are increasingly in demand, because membrane technology provides excellent advantages in terms of energy requirements used, capital investment invested, and ease of operating equipment compared to other processes. Many membrane constituent materials can be used to be the basic material for making membranes, including polymeric materials. This review discusses the various polymeric materials that can be used as basic materials for gas membranes in terms of plasticization, constituent components, flexibility, and mechanical strength. It also provides an understanding of alternatives to improve the properties of polymer-based membranes.

Abstract

The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of the concentration and the type of nitrogen sources in the cultivation medium on the production of biomass and biochemical content (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) in the Spirulina platensis biomass. Types of nitrogen sources included NaNO3 and urea, where the concentrations were varied from 0.5 to 3.5 g/L. The results showed that the use of urea tended to produce more S. platensis biomass than the use of NaNO3. The best concentrations that produced the highest biomass were NaNO3 2.5 g/L (biomass 0.6745 g/L) and urea 0.5 g/L (biomass 0.7158 g/L). The use of urea also tended to produce a higher specific growth rate and a shorter doubling time than the use of NaNO3. The high concentration of nitrogen sources caused the pH of the medium to increase more rapidly due to the accumulation of ammonium in the medium. Using NaNO3 can produce biomass with a higher protein content (28.34-36.98%) than using urea (25.86-33.52%).

Abstract

Since corrosion causes considerable losses in many fields, including the economy, environment, society, industry, security, and safety, it is a major concern for the industrial and academic sectors. Damage control of materials based on organic compounds is currently a field of great interest. Because it is non-toxic, affordable, and effective in a variety of corrosive situations, pyrimidine has potential as a corrosion inhibitor. It takes a lot of time and resources to carry out experimental investigations in the exploration of potential corrosion inhibitor candidates. In this study, we evaluate the gradient boosting regressor (GBR), support vector regression (SVR), and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithms as predictive models for corrosion inhibition efficiency using a machine learning (ML) approach based on the quantitative structure-property relationship model (QSPR). Based on the metric coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE), we found that the GBR model had the best predictive performance compared to the SVR and KNN models as well as models from the literature for pyrimidine compound datasets. Overall, our study offers a new perspective on the ability of ML models to predict corrosion inhibition of iron surfaces

Abstract

Sugarcane leaves are one of the agro-industrial wastes derived from sugarcane plants. In this research, sugarcane leaves are used as raw material for pyrolysis which produces three main products: liquid, solid, and gas. The focus of this research is to identify the effect of temperature on pyrolysis, identify mass changes, identify decomposition, and identify the chemical composition of bio-oil. The pyrolysis was carried out using a Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFBr) reactor with pyrolysis temperature variations from 440oC to 520oC. Analysis of pyrolysis characteristics of sugarcane leaves are used thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), DTA, and GC-MS analysis. The results showed that the operating temperature had a significant effect on the pyrolysis process. The highest bio-oil found at 480oC, namely 34.33%. TGA results show that the decomposition process of sugarcane leaves is divided into 3 stages: 1) dehydration of water content occurs at <200oC, 2) active pyrolysis occurs from 200oC to 380oC, and 3) passive pyrolysis occurs at temperature from 380oC to 500oC. DTA results show that the thermal changes are affected by the pyrolysis heating rate. The highest bio-oil compounds are β-D-Glucopyranose 1,6-anhydro, acetic acid, and 2-Propanone 1-hydroxy-. This research proves that temperature has an important role in the pyrolysis process.

Abstract

The use of nanomaterial as a finishing agent in the textile industry continues to be developed. Nanoparticle zinc oxide (ZnONP) has anti-UV properties so that it can be used to protect the color of the fabric from fading. Constraints of using nanomaterial as a functionalization agent on fabric are the process of application and also its poor adhesion. This research aims to optimize ZnONP coating on cotton-indigo fabric so that ZnONP can be maximized adsorbed with good durability. Optimization is carried out by the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) method, with the independent variables are: ZnoNP Dispersion volume, the number of coating, and the method of coating (with and without sonication assisted). The response variable is the adsorbed ZnONP in fabric sample after the washing process. The number of coating and sonication-assisted coating gives significant results in increasing the number of adsorbed ZnONP.
