Abstract

The current consumption of fuel oil, especially gasoline and diesel oil, is increasing. Along with the decline in production, national oil production activities encourage efforts to find alternative fuels as a substitute for oil-based energy supplies. Bio-oil is an environmentally friendly alternative fuel for diesel that can be used as fuel. In this study, the raw materials were palm oil empty bunches and polypropylene plastic waste. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the ratio of raw material for oil palm empty fruit bunches and polypropylene, the effect of co-pyrolysis temperature on the yield of bio-oil and determine the characteristics of the resulting bio-oil. This study used the variable ratio of oil palm empty fruit bunches and polypropylene (100:0, 80:20, 70:30 and 60:40) and co-pyrolysis temperature (400, 450, 500 and 550 °C). The results showed that the highest yield of bio-oil was obtained, namely 41.6% with a ratio of EFB: PP (80:20) at temperature of 450 °C. The characterization of the product obtained was density of 0.891 g/ml,  viscosity of 4.18 cSt,  pH of 3.38 and  calorific value of 43.2 MJ/kg.

Abstract

Wastewater contains pollutants that can disturb the balance of the ecosystem in the form of health problems, water quality degradation and others. According to Said, (2008) the problem experienced in almost all cities in Indonesia is wastewater pollution. The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution of conditions and performance values, factors that influence the conditions and performance of Communal WWTPs in Sleman Regency Yogyakarta. The method used in this study is an interview with the help of guidelines to respondents who have been determined. The location of the sample collection was determined by the stratified random sampling method based on the District and Village for the decision of data collection at 30 Communal WWTPs of Sleman Regency. The results of the interview are processed by the Likert scoring method and then drawn with the Radar Chart. The factors that influence the conditions and performance of Communal WWTPs are then obtained from the ranking of the criteria for the conditions and performance of Communal WWTPs that have been calculated. The results showed that overall Communal WWTPs in Sleman Regency had conditions and performance with a value of 2.98 which was included in the interval of value 3 with a fairly good category. This value consists of the value of the technical aspect of 3.52 with a very good category, the value of the environmental aspect of 2.94 with a fairly good category, and the value of the socio-economic aspect of 2.48 with a rather poor category. Factors that influence the condition and performance of Communal WWTPs in Sleman Regency whose value is still less than expected are the maintenance of facilities with a value of 2.27, the load of wastewater with a value of 2.43, the institutional value of 2.47, and the management performance monitoring program with a value of 2.50 which falls into the rather poor value category.

Abstract

The industry of sasirangan – traditional fabric of Banjar Tribe – has been one of prime commodities of South Kalimantan. The coloring process  in sasirangan production used a lot of chemical elements containing heavy metals  and its waste potentially pollute the environment. One of the heavy metal waste contained is copper (Cu) which is toxic to aquatic organisms and humans. The treatment for sasirangan liquid waste can be done by adsorption process using activated carbon as adsorbent. This study aims to determine the appropriate kinetic model for adsorption of Cu metal from sasirangan liquid waste using activated carbon adsorbent made from rice husks.The process was conducted by batch system with chemical and physical activation. Chemical activation was done by soaking the activated carbon of rice husk with HCl solution for 24 hours. While physical activation was carried out by burning in a furnace at 500̊C for 2 hours. The adsorption treatment was given on sasirangan waste samples with variations on contact time (30, 60 and 120 minutes). The results of kinetics study showed that the adsorption process of Cu from sasirangan liquid waste onto rice husk activated carbon adsorbent followed first-order reaction kinetics with a correlation coefficient value (R2) of 0.96 and adsorption rate constant (k1) of 0.0044 min-1.

Abstract

Peat water is a type of water that does not meet the quality of clean water because it has a cloudy color, smells, tastes and low pH. One of the peat water repair technologies is to use activated charcoal to improve the quality of peat water. Water hyacinth has the potential to be used as activated charcoal because it has high levels of C-organic. Charcoal needs to be activated to open the pores, one of activator materials that can be used is ZnCl2. This study aims to determine the potential of water hyacinth activated charcoal to be used as a peat water biofilter, to determine the usefulness of ZnCl2 as a water hyacinth charcoal activator, and to determine the correct concentration of ZnCl­­2 activator for water hyacinth charcoal activation process. The research was conducted at the Production Laboratory of the Agroecotechnology Department, Animal Nutrition and Food Laboratory, Animal Husbandry Department, Agriculture Faculty, and Water Quality and Hydro-Bioecology Laboratory, Aquatic Resources Management Department, Fisheries and Marine Faculty, Lambung Mangkurat University, Banjarbaru, from December 2020-January 2021. This study used a completely randomly design (CRD) single factor that is difference in the concentration of ZnCl2 activator with 4 experimental units. Activated charcoal of water hyacinth can be used as a peat water biofilter as indicated by the parameters of turbidity, TDS, pH, temperature, taste and smells of water. ZnCl­2 can be used as an activator for charcoal of water hyacinth using the physic-chemical activation method. The correct concentration of activator is ZnCl2 30%.

Abstract

The issue of the energy crisis and environmental problems due to waste encourage the formation of new fuels from renewable materials such as palm kernel shell biomass (CKS). In other hand, low rank coal (lignite) has low economic value, so it needs to be improved to be used widely. Utilization of lignite and CKS can produce solid products (char) in the form of hybrid coal through the co-pyrolysis process. This study aims to determine the optimum temperature and composition of co-pyrolysis lignite and CKS based on the distribution of the resulting product. The lignite is dried and pulverized to a particle size of 20-50 mesh. CKS cleaned, cut into pieces and sieved to a size of 0.4-2 mm. Then the CKS was dried in an oven at 105oC for 24 hours. Lignite and CKS were mixed with a composition of 15%, 22.5%, and 30% by weight of CKS:lignite. The mixture of materials is put into the co-pyrolysis reactor as much as 200 grams. The co-pyrolysis process was carried out at temperatures of 200ºC, 300ºC, and 400ºC for 1 hour by flowing nitrogen gas into the reactor with a flow rate of 1.5 L/min. The results showed that increasing the mixing ratio of CKS:lignite and co-pyrolysis temperature would increase tar yield while decreasing char yield. Judging from the highest tar yield, the optimum co-pyrolysis temperature was 400oC at 15% optimum mixing ratio, while 200oC and 22.5% were optimum co-pyrolysis temperatures and mixing ratio to obtain the largest char yield. Both tar and char co-pyrolysis products can be an alternative energy source with further processing.

Abstract

Rubber is one of Indonesia’s main commodities resulting in a considerable number of people relying their incomes as rubber farmers. However, unstable rubber price proves to be a problem for these farmers. One solution to be offered is an alternative natural coagulant which is easily obtainable and able to produce good quality rubbers. Averrhoa bilimbi with its known acidic properties shows a prospect as a natural coagulant. This study aims to determine the effect of variation in the concentration of Averrhoa bilimbi extract on the characteristics of rubber clone IRR 118 as well as the advantages and disadvantages of using the extract as natural coagulant. The rubber clone used was IRR 118 with various Averrhoa bilimbi etracts of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% and 2% synthetic chemical coagulant formic acid as comparison. The coagulant volume was 20 ml for each concentration and the volume of latex used was 100 ml. The characteristics of the rubber tested were TSC, DRC, Po and PRI. The results showed that the highest value of dry rubber content (DRC) was at 100% natural coagulant concentration which is 34% with a total solid content (TSC) value of 37% while the highest Plasticity Retention Index (PRI) value was at 100% concentration, which is 92%. This study exhibits the use of natural coagulant from Averrhoa bilimbi has met the Indonesian Rubber Standard SNI 06-1903-2000. Therefore, Averrhoa bilimbi extract can be used as an alternative coagulant for rubber latex.

Abstract

Talang Gulo Final Processing Site, Jami City will make efforts to reduce biodegradable waste consisting of leaf waste. The processing process that can be applied is by converting it into compost with an aerobic process with a windrow system. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the composting system and the results of existing waste processing. This research was conducted by direct observation and secondary data collection from the local management inventory. The composition of biodegradable waste in Jambi City consists of 47.4% food waste and 2.1% garden waste. However, the application of food waste is quite difficult to handle because of its characteristics, therefore garden waste is a priority for reduction by the government. The results of monitoring for one month in a row mean that the waste entering the compost facility is 4086 kg/day. The percentage of waste reduction from composting activities in total can be 0.986% of the total waste generation of Jambi City, or 45.426% of the total waste generation of Jambi City's gardens. The final measurement results of compost have met the quality standard of SNI 19-7030-2004 which has been set by the Indonesian government. The value of water content, pH, C – Organic, N – Total, C/N, P2O3, and K2O Total is 13.64%; 7,12; 4.77%; 0.42%; 11.4% 45.01%; and 0.25%, respectively. It is hoped that even though the achievement of waste reduction from this activity is still low, if it is seen from the opportunities for sustainable management and social support from the community and the government, it will reduce waste generation in Jambi City.
