Abstract

The tetraethyl orthocycate (TEOS) is mainly used as a silica precursor. Silanol content of silica material is the main cause of low hydrostability which led to resulting in poor performance, especially in water treatment. The stronger bond strength formed by incorporating a carbon structure from triethoxy vinyl silane (TEVS). The xerogel fabrication resulted in the composition of TEOS: TEVS: EtOH: HNO3: H2O: NH3 to be 0.9: 0.1: 38: 0.00078: 5: 0.0003.   . The purpose is to study the structure of organosilica xerogel calcined at 350oC, 450oC and 600oC in the Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) using rapid thermal processing. The deconvolution of FTIR spectra calculated using the Fityk software. The result of the best xerogel peak shows at calcination of 450°C with peak area siloxane of 15.39, silanol of 3.32 and silica carbon of 3.85.

Abstract

Contamination of soil by the activities of exploration, production and disposal of oil waste into the environment causes serious damage to the environmental ecosystem, the target of processing by the activated sludge as a model for remediation of petroleum contaminated site. Optimization of oxygen supply becomes special attention in aerobic bioprocess for optimizing the growth of microorganisms to degrade total petroleum hydrocarbons. Thus, the study was focused on determining the performance of dissolved oxygen in degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons by ex situ activated sludge. The research used biological methods (bioremediation), with the ratio of contaminated soil to water was 20:80%(w/v) and a soil size 40/50 mesh.  The degradation process was carried out with 15% and 20% (v/v) activated sludge put into the bioreactor slurry with a capacity of 4 liters and stirring was 90 rpm at a temperature of 30oC as well as aeration and nutrient injection into the bioreactor. TPH analysis was measured by the gravimetric method. The results obtained showed that the performance of dissolved oxygen increased well in the bioreactor slurry at 15% (v/v) and 20% (v/v) activated sludge concentrations was 3.31–8.57 mg/L and 3.5–8.21 mg/L respectively, which had an impact on the level of TPH degradation, namely from 18,000 µg/g to 2870 µg/g and 18,000 µg/g to 1970 µg/g during the 49 days remediation period. In general, activated sludge shows good performance throughout the remediation period.

Abstract

Palm oil is one of the plantation crops that have high economic value and is growing rapidly. The wider the area of oil palm plantations in Indonesia, the more palm oil mills will process palm fresh fruit marks and produce waste from processed palm oil, namely solid waste and liquid waste. Each tonne of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) processed at the plant will potentially leave waste of about 23% empty palm oil, 4% wet decanter solid, 6.5% shell, 13% fiber, and 50% liquid waste. This review will discuss the utilization of palm oil mill liquid waste (LCPKS) which is organic material that still contains many benefits such as nutrients, therefore the application of liquid waste is an effort to recycle some of the nutrients (recycling nutrients) which is followed by harvesting fresh fruit bunches (FFB) from oil palm so that it will reduce the cost of fertilization which is classified as very high for oil palm cultivation. During the processing of oil palm fruit into palm oil in the palm oil industry, the remaining process is obtained in the form of liquid waste. If done properly, the liquid waste of the palm oil industry is considerable potential and can increase the added value of waste itself.Keywords: liquid waste industry, palm oil, utilization

Abstract

Corrosion is a chemical phenomenon that often occurs in iron materials that are exposed or immersed in a medium either liquid or air. As a result of this corrosion is fragility and damage to the object so that the object cannot function properly. The purpose of this research is to prevent or slow down the occurrence of corrosion by adding chemicals called corrosion inhibitors which work by forming a protective layer on the surface of objects in the form of metal or iron.In this study, inhibitors were used in the form of NaOH solution with variations in the concentration of 0.1; 0.5; 1; 1.25; 1,5; 5 and 10 N are dissolved in water media and the iron immersion process is carried out at temperatures of 40, 45, and 50 °C. Soaked iron bars are measured for surface area and volume as well as weighing before and after the immersion process so that the corrosion rate is obtained with various variables used. Based on the research results obtained corrosion rate increases with increasing temperature and the addition of NaOH concentration inhibitors. Optimal temperature and concentration to inhibit the rate of iron corrosion is at an immersion temperature of 45 ° C and a concentration of 0.1 N NaOH with a corrosion rate of 0.084875 mpy.

Abstract

Proper processing to overcome the abundance of plastic waste is needed. Currently, pyrolysis technology is one method that can overcome plastic waste. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process, which breaks down long alkyl chains into hydrocarbons at high temperatures. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature on yield and heating value using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) method. The pyrolysis of plastic waste is carried out with HDPE plastic material. The pyrolysis process is carried out in a reactor with 50 grams of feed at various temperatures of 500, 550, 600 and 650⁰C. The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that there is a decrease in yield and calorific value with increasing temperature. The results of the analysis concluded that temperature had an effect on the yield produced and the calorific value of the product. The best yield was obtained at 35.86% and a heating value of 10530.461cal / g at a temperature of 100oC. Based on the results of data analysis using the ANOVA method, it was found that the experimental hypothesis was that temperature had an effect on yield and calorific value.

Abstract

The presence of heavy metal mercury (Hg2+) in liquid waste has caused serious problems to environmental pollution. One of the most effective method to reduce the levels of heavy metals mercury (Hg2+) in liquid waste is adsorption. Rice husk ash is highly potential to adsorb heavy metals in water because it is a porous material with a high silica content. Therefore, rice husk ash can be used as an adsorbent for heavy metals in liquid waste. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of mercury (Hg2+) that can be adsorbed from the column adsorption process using adsorbent of rice husk ash and to determine the optimum mass of rice husk ash as an adsorbent. The research was conducted using a series of simple adsorption column tools with a circulation time of 120 minutes. While the independent variables were adsorbent particle size of 50, 100, and 200 mesh. Measurement of mercury (Hg2+) levels was carried out on samples before and after treatment with Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The results showed a significant decrease in Hg2+ levels with the optimum adsorbent particle size of 200 mesh. The value of the adsorbed Hg2+ ion content reached 101.670 mg/L in the adsorption process using adsorbent with 200 mesh particle size .
