Abstract

Surfactant is an amphipilic chemical structure which contains the hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups. Surfactant has ability to lower surface tension between two liquids. Surfactant has been used in many industries, such as cosmetics, food, textile, petroleum, and pharmacy industry. Nowdays, most of surfactant used in industries are still based on petroleum resources. The applicationsof this nonbiodegradable surfactant in industry promote environmental problem. Biosurfactant is a biodegradable surfactant that produced from microorganism or natural resources. Biosurfactant produced from microorganism contains Rhamnolipid and Lipopeptide. Surfactin and Dactomicin made from microorganism with antibacterial activity are the examples. Bottle necks of the production of biosurfactant form microorganism are their slow process, high purification cost, and high product price. Biosurfactant from natural resources are potentially produced in large scale due to their fast process and relatively cheap raw material. Metil Ester Sulphonate (MES) is one of biosurfactant produced from natural resources (from palm oil). The other example is biosurfactant from esterification of carbohydrate and carboxylic acid. This paper reviews the literatures dealing with biodegradable surfactant development which can be used as a reference of a research path way and an industrial scale production of biodegradable surfactant.

Abstract

Natural dyes can be obtained from the pigments that contained from leaves, fruit, and rind of the plants. Dragon fruit peel is one of the potential  natural pigment source. Almost 30-35% of the peel fruit is often simply thrown away as trash. Dragon fruit peel  provides natural red color produced by pigment called anthocyanin which can be used as a subtituent from synthetic dyes to natural dyes. This research was objected to find the optimum conditions for anthocyanin extraction of dragon fruit peel. Simple extraction was carried out by using 80% ethanol solvent with  variable ratio of the amount of material and solvent (1: 9 to 1:13), temperature (50◦ to 80◦ C) and time (1 to 5 hours). Optimum result was obtained from a ratio F: S 1:11, temperature 50◦C, for 3 hours.

Abstract

Natural zeolite is a mineral that are widely available in Indonesia. Among many other benefits, the natural zeolite can be used as an adsorbent to reduce water pollutant caused by ammonia compounds and combination of derivatives. This research aimed to study the effect of different acids on zeolite characterizatics as adsorbent of ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH). The effect of acids addition  on natural zeolite was studied by varying the concentration of H2SO4(0,5 N; 3 N and 5 N) and concentration of H3PO4 (0,5 N; 3 N and 5 N). In this study, zeolite surface was observed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). Results were showed that the amount of NH4OH adsorbed on H- zeolite has a maximum (23,6 mg/gram zeolit) at 5 N H2SO4. From the NH4OH uptake experiment, it was noted that zeolite obtained from H-Zeolite-H2SO4 has higher NH4OH adsorption capacity than that of zeolite obtained from H-Zeolite-H3PO4. The adsorption capacity of H-Zeolite-H2SO4, H-Zeolite-H3PO4, are 23,6 mg/g and 12,9 mg/g, respectively. FTIR analysis was showed that NH4OH adsorbed on the surface of H- zeolite on Brønsted acid peak.

Abstract

Pertumbuhan otomotif di Indonesia terus mengalami peningkatan. Maka tak heran jika kebutuhan pendukungnya seperti pelumas juga mengalami peningkatan pula. Di Indonesia, kebutuhan akan pelumas atau oli mencapai angka 300 juta liter pertahunnya. Kira kira 40% pelumas akan dibuang ke lingkungan menjadi limbah non biodegradable dan bersifat sebagai limbah B3. Untuk menunjang lingkungan yang mendukung pembangunan berkelanjutan, dunia membutuhkan pelumas biodegradable atau biopelumas. Biopelumas dapat menyamai karakristik dan menggantikan fungsi pelumas berbasis petroleum. Bahan dasar biopelumas pada saat ini adalah minyak nabati melalui serangkaian modifikasi secara kimia dapat diubah menjadi senyawa mono, di atau tri ester. Ester dari minyak nabati menunjukkan sifat sifat fisika dan kimia lebih baik dibandingkan dengan pelumas petroleum. Baik sifat fluida pada temperatur rendah meliputi titik tuang, titik beku dan viskositas. Juga sifat tribologi (keausan) dan stabilitas terhadap oksidator pada temperatur tinggi. Dalam makalah ini dijelaskan mengenai perkembangan terbaru beberapa proses produksi bio pelumas ramah lingkungan berbasis ester sebagai formula generasi baru yang  menunjang  pembangunan berkelanjutan
