Abstract

Agarwood is a resin from agarwood-producing plants that are given certain stimulants, thus stimulating the tree's defense system. The defense system produced is in the form of a sweet-smelling phytoalexin compound, better known as agarwood. Stimulants that can stimulate the formation of Gaharu are biological inoculants and chemical inducers. In this research, the biological inoculant used the Fusarium oxysporum fungus, and the chemical inducer used salicylic acid. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of using a combination of Fusarium oxysporum and salicylic acid in producing agarwood resin. The combination treatment of Fusarium oxysporum and salicylic acid was carried out using the injection method on Aquilaria malaccensis tree branches, and induction was carried out for 3 months. This research shows that the TLC test results in all treatments contain aloes, which is proven by the discovery of phenolic and terpenoid compounds. The combination treatment produces a color change intensity that is not darker and has a broader color change zone compared to the single treatment. Therefore, it can be concluded that the combination of Fusarium oxysporum and salicylic acid is less effective in producing Gaharu than the single treatment.

Abstract

Paper is generally made using cellulose, which comes from wood, as raw material. However, if wood is used without stopping, it will cause global temperatures to rise and depletion of wood resources. One alternative to replacing wood in paper production is to use empty fruit bunch (EFB) waste and sweet corn husks. This research aims to obtain optimum conditions from variations in the ratio of raw materials and cooking process solutions and to obtain cardboard paper quality under SNI 0123:2008. The method used in this research is raw material preparation, and the pulp-making process uses the organosolv method. From the results of this research, the characteristics of pulp and paperboard obtained under optimum conditions at a raw material ratio of 30:70% w/w with a cooking solution ratio of 30:50:20% v/v have a cellulose content of 60% w/w, a tensile index of 5 .83 kN/m, absorption capacity 2.35 gr/m2, and grammage 428.67 gr/m2. From these data, it can be concluded that cardboard paper is produced from EFB raw materials and sweet corn husks with a raw material ratio of 30:70 %w/w and a cooking solution ratio of 30:50:20 %w/w using the process organosolv has met SNI 0123:2008 standards on tensile index, absorption capacity and grammage regarding the quality requirements for paperboard.

Abstract

TiO2-modified and Ni-impregnated bentonite catalysts have been synthesized and characterized to determine their physicochemical properties. Ni(NO3)2.6H2O was used as a precursor for impregnation. The physicochemical properties determined include surface acidity by acid-base titration method, FTIR spectrum, and XRF and XRD data. The highest surface acidity value was obtained from the Ni-TiO2/bentonite catalyst sample of 1.57 mmol/g. The results of FTIR analysis showed that the peak at wave number 3441 cm-1 in TiO2/bentonite shifted to 3458 cm-1 in Ni-TiO2/bentonite. The distribution of bentonite content after being pillared with TiO2 = 8.68% and impregnated with NiO = 0.58%. The success of nickel metal impregnation into the TiO2/bentonite support was obtained from XRD data, which was marked by the appearance of a typical Ni peak at 2θ = 37.70° d = 2.38 Å, 2θ = 39.39° d = 2.28 Å, 2θ = 43.02° d = 2.10 Å, 2θ = 51.38°d = 1.77 Å.

Abstract

Wood, as a basic material for the furniture industry, creates waste problems in the form of wood sawdust. Wood sawdust is a material that can be utilized by processing it through a pyrolysis process to produce liquid smoke and charcoal. Charcoal resulting from sawdust pyrolysis of Azadirachta excelsa, Durio zibhetinus, Swietenia mahagoni, and Coffea sp. wood has different characteristics. Pyrolysis was carried out at 300–350 °C for 6 hours. Characterization was carried out using SEM-EDS and XRD. Based on the research, it is known that the character of the charcoal resulting from pyrolysis using XRD shows that the charcoal composition of each wood has similar characteristics, as indicated by the presence of a broad peak at 2 theta 25° indicating that the charcoal formed has an amorphous structure. In comparison, the 2 theta peaks of 17° and 29° respectively, indicate the presence of lignin and CaCO₃ in charcoal. The morphological structure of the charcoal surface based on the results of SEM analysis shows a similarity in morphology between Swietenia mahagoni and Coffea sp. Wood charcoal with small pore diameters and distances apart, as well as between Durio zibhetinus and Azadirachta excelsa wood charcoal, which resembles a honeycomb structure. The composition of charcoal resulting from pyrolysis shows that the largest component of charcoal is carbon with a percentage of 45.4-56%, calcium with a percentage of 10-15.2%, and oxygen with a percentage of 22.5-38.4%, with minor components in the form of aluminum, boron, silicon, and potassium.

Abstract

This study classifies the Seurapoh plant (Chromolaena odorata Linn) collected from various locations across Aceh Province. The analysis aims to determine the influence of geographic differences on the origin of Seurapoh plants by performing classification and authentication. Seurapoh leaf samples in this study were obtained from several locations, including Aceh Besar, Sabang, Southwest Aceh, South Aceh, Aceh Jaya, Bireun, Bener Meriah, and Central Aceh. Classification of Seurapoh leaf extracts was carried out using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), while authentication was conducted using Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). The PCA score plot analysis results indicate that it can explain a total data variance of 62%. Based on the PCA score plot, samples generally form three distinct groups: Group 1 consists of samples from the highland region of Gayo, specifically Central Aceh (TA) and Bener Meriah (BM); Group 2 consists of samples from the coastal areas of Aceh, namely Southwest Aceh (ABD), South Aceh (AS), Aceh Jaya (AJ), and Bireun (Br); and Group 3 comprises samples from geothermal manifestation areas of Seulawah Agam and Jaboi. The classifications derived from PCA analysis were subsequently authenticated using LDA. The LDA analysis results indicate that the LDA model, based on cross-validation, accurately predicts the origin locations of Seurapoh leaf samples with a 100% accuracy rate.
