Abstract

Packaging use from synthetic materials can have a negative impact for environment. One of the steps to reduce this impact with edible film packaging uses. Film can be defined as a thin layer of material, that usually composed by a polymer that allows for mechanical strengthening of a structured stand. The quality that continues to be improved from the edible film is antioxidant activity, namely by adding antioxidant substances such as flavonoids and phenols from starfruit leaf extract. As well as improving its mechanical quality by adding shrimp shell chitosan and using the layer by layer method. The purpose of this research is to find out characteristics of edible film from carrageenan-chitosan layer by layer and find the best results from the addition of different concentrations of chitosan and Belimbing Wuluh leaf extract. The variation that will be carried out is the addition of Belimbing Wuluh leaf extract by 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6% and chitosan by 1.5%, 2% and 2.5%. The results showed that the best formula of edible film was made from 2.5% chitosan concentration and 0.6% Belimbing Wuluh leaf extract. The results of test are the thickness test is 0.21 mm, the tensile strength is 2.87 MPa, the elongation at break is 13.6673%, the water vapor permeability is 2.1682 g/m2h and the antioxidant value in terms of fruit weight loss is 4.01%.

Abstract

Methylene blue is one of the dyes often used in the textile industry. This dye is toxic which causes environmental pollution and health problems for humans and animals. In this research, adsorption of methylene blue dye was carried out by using an adsorbent in the form of red fruit waste biochar in concentration variations (50, 100, and 150 ppm) and contact times (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 minutes). The kinetics review modeling was based on the pseudo first order and pseudo second order to determine the adsorption capacity of methylene blue with red fruit waste biochar. The adsorption equation was evaluated using the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The results showed that the most suitable adsorption equilibrium model followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm with an equilibrium constant (K) is 0.0510 and the maximum adsorption capacity (Qm) is 0.0048 mg/g. The kinetics model of the methylene blue adsorption reaction based on the pseudo second order with the value of k is 0.6973 min-1 and a relation coefficient value of R2 = 1.

Abstract

Industri batik tergolong industri dalam jumlah besar dan berbahaya. Salah satu limbah yang dihasilkan adalah limbah cair yang mengandung ion krom (Cr 6+). Cairan limbah yang dikeluarkan sangat keruh, berwarna, dan memiliki pengelolaan yang busuk sehingga menimbulkan masalah serius bagi badan air, masyarakat, dan lingkungan. Limbah tanpa perlakuan khusus dibuang ke lingkungan. Sehingga metode pertukaran ion dapat mengurangi pencemaran lingkungan akibat limbah industri batik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh resin dalam menurunkan kandungan ion kromium pada limbah cair industri batik dengan menggunakan metode pertukaran ion. Yaitu dengan menggunakan dua kondisi operasi yang divariasikan yaitu berat resin (40, 60, 80, 100, dan 120 gram) dan kecepatan pengadukan (150, 175, 200, 225, dan 250 rpm). Ion kromium yang bermuatan positif akan bertukar dengan H +ion yang ditemukan dalam resin dowex. Sehingga kandungan krom pada limbah cair batik dapat dikurangi. Hasil tersebut diperoleh dari kecepatan pengadukan dan berat resin yang digunakan. Penurunan kandungan ion chromium tertinggi terjadi pada kecepatan pengaduk 250 rpm dengan berat resin 120 gram sebesar 97,86%.

Abstract

An absorber is a tool used in the absorption process to separate a certain gas component from a gas mixture using a chemical solution as an absorbent. This simulation aimed to determine the effects of the packing type and column diameter on flooding, the packing type and column diameter on pressure drop, and the gas flow rate on CO2 removal. It also investigated the best absorber design based on %flooding and pressure drop. This simulation was carried out using the Aspen Hysys software version V.10. The variables of packing type consisted of PALL, berl, and raschig. The simulation results indicated that the larger the column diameter for each type of packing, the smaller the %flooding value. Meanwhile, the limit value of the %flooding for each type of packing given by Aspen Hysys was 30%– 80%. Further simulation results showed that the larger the column diameter in each type of packing, the smaller the pressure drop value. The pressure drop limit value given by Aspen Hysys was 3,658 mbar. In addition, the next simulation results demonstrated that the greater the value of the given gas flow rate, the greater the % CO2 removal value. Thus, the effective absorber design viewed from the %flooding and pressure drop was a 0.5-inch berl dimension with ceramic material.

Abstract

The efforts to control heavy metal waste are developingg to obtain an economical, effective, and efficient method. One method that is widely used in industry is adsorption. In general, the use of conventional adsorbents requires relatively more expensive operational and regeneration costs, thus it is necessary to investigate alternative adsorbents derived from nature. Local commodities that can be taken as the basic material for adsorbents are rubber plants. In the rubber seed shell there are fibers containing cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and waxes. The rubber tree trunk at the base has a relatively high cellulose content (67.38%), the middle part has a cellulose content of (59.37%) and the end part has a cellulose content of (45.73%). Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the potential of rubber stems and rubber seed shell waste to be processed into adsorbents. The making of the adsorbent is preceded by the delignification stage and then followed by the activation process. Based on the characterization tests that have been carried out, it is known that the moisture content in the biosorbent of the rubber seed and shell is 10% and 11%, while the ash content is 1.23% and 2.33%, respectively. The volatile matter levels for the adsorbents from the stems and shells were 6.43% and 6.18%, respectively.The efforts to control heavy metal waste are developingg to obtain an economical, effective, and efficient method.

Abstract

Development of Indonesian palm oil industry, not only contributes positively to economic sector. Biggest challenge lies in the negative issues of oil palm development, namely environmental issues. Land use change, forest clearing, deforestation, peat land for palm plantation expansion are environmental issues because they are considered to disturb the balance of greenhouse gases. The use of non-standard fertilizers and POME processing can also increase CO2 emissions, which in turn will reduce carbon storage in vegetation and soil. Soil is the most potent organic carbon sink compared to plants. Soil is an organic carbon pool (reservoir) that accumulates organic carbon in and organic carbon out. The accumulated carbon is influenced by aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, necromass, litter and soil organic matter. So that the development of oil palm is accused of being one of the factors that play a role in soil organic carbon (SOC), soil carbon loss (SCL), net carbon balance (NCB), or greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions. Where this is a very important component in the palm carbon cycle that has an impact on the global climate. The mass balance approach to the palm carbon cycle obeys the law of conservation of mass. The mass of palm carbon before and after processing is constant. This means that the total mass of palm carbon during the process does not change, only a phase change occurs, namely solid, liquid, and gas.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of slow stirring time of flocculation and stress on the electrocoagulation process on turbidity levels and pH values of tempe liquid waste. The research method used is a combination of coagulation and electrocoagulation processes carried out in batches. Variations carried out were slow stirring time of flocculation (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes) and variation of voltage (3,6, and 9 volts). The results showed that the stirring time and electrocoagulation voltage affected the turbidity of the tempe liquid waste but did not affect the pH level of the tempe liquid waste. The best slow flocculation time was 20 minutes with a turbidity yield of 31.04 NTU and a percent removal of turbidity of 91.56%. The electrocoagulation voltage of 9 volts resulted in a turbidity of 2.01 NTU and a percent turbidity removal of 93.52%.

Abstract

In South Kalimantan, peat water is the main water sources for local people. But peat water has high iron content. It cannot be consumed directly and need further treatment. Adsorption is the most common technology to treat peat water. The goal of this research is to study sago waste adsorbent for iron removal in peat water. Citric acid was employed as activating agent in the sago waste activated carbon adsorbent fabrication. Carbonization process was done at 300 ℃ with 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 minutes of time variation. After treatment using the adsorbent, iron content was tested via Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). While, Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) were carried out to investigate the functional groups of sago pith waste activated carbon (SPWAC) and sago pith waste unactivated carbon (SPWUC). The experiment results show iron could be removed until 82% with iron concentration of 0.05 mg/l at 80 minutes. SPWAC and SPWUC have functional groups such as alkenes (C-H and C=C), carbonyl (C=O and C-O) and hydroxyl (O-H). Fe concentrations are still meet water quality standard according to No. 492/Menkes/PER/IV/2010 which is 0.3 mg/L. Therefore, adsorption uses sago pith waste activated carbon is an effective and inexpensive water treatment.
