Abstract

In accordance with the mandate of the Regulation of the Indonesian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources for the use of cleaner coal through coal gasification projects, in the future the coal gasification industry will produce char as a by-product. This study aims to characterize coal gasification char using a prototype underground coal gasification (UCG) and the addition of coconut shell charcoal biomass as a raw material for making biobriquettes. By using coal as raw material from the Muara Tiga Besar Mine of PT Bukit Asam, five kinds of coal samples from different layers were obtained, which from the characterization results, both coal and char, did not have too significant deviations so that the research variables could be ignored. The results of the characterization of char from coal gasification results compared to the initial sample of coal showed an increase in calorific value, a decrease in sulfur content and a significant decrease in water content, so it can be concluded that char from coal gasification has good potential as a raw material for biobriquettes. By using char and coconut shell charcoal with the ratio of variations in the composition of char and coconut shell compositions is 100%:0%; 75%:25%; 50%:50%; 25%:75% and 0%:100% carried out the briquetting process. The results of the biobriquette characterization met the criteria of the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 01-6235-2000 and Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources regulation No. 047 of 2006

Abstract

AbstractThe increasing accumulation of plastic and industrial biomass wastes, as well as the declining reserves of petroleum as an energy source, have become significant topics of discussion. Therefore, this research aims to determine alternative energy sources in the form of fuel derived from cracking a mixture of Polypropylene (PP) plastic and palm fiber (SKS) waste. It also aims to determine the quantity and quality of the derived products. The cracking process with a catalyst to feed ratio of 1:10 and a time of 40 minutes led to the highest % conversion Cracking Result Liquid (CHP) product of 48.08% with the variation condition of PP to SKS ratio of 1.5:1 at a temperature of 500°C. The GC-MS analysis results showed that the % area of the CHP product contains fuels, such as gasoline (32.97%), kerosene (5.36%), and diesel (2.24%).Keywords: Cracking, Polypropylene, plastic waste, palm fiber, alternative energi Abstrak (Indonesian)Meningkatnya akumulasi limbah, baik itu sampah plastik maupun limbah biomassa hasil industri, serta menurunnya cadangan minyak bumi sebagai sumber enegi, menjadi topik masalah yang cukup signifikan untuk dibahas dan dicarikan solusinya.

Abstract

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) can be applied as a bone implant material. HAp was composited with chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and coated to Ti6Al4V to improve its biocompatibility. The composite HAp-chitosan-PVA coated to anodized and unanodized Ti6Al4V. Modification of the Ti6Al4V surface by anodizing was done using a 20 V voltage. The Ti6Al4V metal alloy was coated with a composite using the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method with a voltage of 80 V. The coated composites in Ti6Al4V nanotubes and non-nanotubes were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), corrosion test with potentiostat, and in vitro bioactivity test with Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The XRD results showed a distinctive peak indicating that the composite comprises HAp and Ti. The SEM Ti6Al4V nanotube results show a pore size of 24 nm. The FTIR results show that there were functional groups of HAp, chitosan, and PVA. The corrosion rate on Ti6Al4V nanotubes without coating was greater than with coating. The In vitro bioactivity test showed that the decrease of Ca2+ Ti6Al4V nanotube concentration was faster compared to non-nanotube Ti6Al4V.

Abstract

The main focus of this research is to ascertain the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic pattern, and surface morphology of a hornet (Vespa affinis) nest. The optical microscopic(OM) analysis demonstrated that the nest presented an irregular formation of partition materials. This was confirmed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which revealed the presence of a unique form with a honeycomb-like pattern. Meanwhile, the materials largely consisted of carbon and oxygen elements, as was revealed by the energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, while the XRD analysis indicated that the nest was composed of amorphous materials of cellulose and lignin. Finally, the (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis revealed the presence of a number of peaks, which indicated that the material also consisted of a mixture of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin materials. It is envisaged that these results would widen the possibilities of fundamental scientific research on forest products, particularly the use of the V. affinis nest for further biological and chemical research.

Abstract

The use of biolubricant must be encouraged to reduce environmental pollution from non-biodegradable lubricants by utilizing crude palm oil. This study aims to synthesize epoxide compounds from crude palm oil (CPO) as intermediate compounds to produce Biolubricant and determine the kinetic reaction and the enthalpy of the epoxide reaction. The process of synthesizing epoxide was carried out in a stirred reactor. The epoxidation reaction occurred at 60, 70, and 80 °C for 30 – 180 min with 30 min intervals using 1, 2, and 3% H2SO4 as catalysts. The highest conversion was obtained at a reaction temperature of 70 °C at 90 min using 2% H2SO4 of 87.59%. The characteristics of the epoxide compound produced have a density of 0.951 g/cm3, a kinematic viscosity of 44.388 CSt, an acid number of 4.32 mg NaOH/g oil, and oxirane number of 5.731 g/cm3. The reaction kinetic constant and enthalpy were 0.0104 mol/mL min and 10494.762 J/mol. The synthesized epoxide from crude palm oil was proven to be a suitable intermediate compound for biolubricant production.

Abstract

The effect of initial Congo Red and Procion Red concentration on isotherm adsorption and thermodynamic adsorption study using natural and Zn/Fe Pillared bentonite have been conducted. The adsorbents were also characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-Ray analysis (SEM-EDX). The study showed that the optimum dye removal of Congo Red and Procion Red was obtained at the initial dye concentration of 80 mg/L. The adsorption isotherm study showed that the Congo Red and Procion Red adsorption on natural and Zn/Fe Pillared bentonite followed the Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption thermodynamics study showed that the adsorption of Congo Red and Procion Red occurred endothermically, wheraas the positive value of entropy indicated a high level of disorder of adsorption for both dyes. Furthermore, the FTIR, XRD, and SEM-EDX analysis showed that the pillarization of Zn/Fe on bentonite successfully well occurred, and it could be concluded that the adsorption of Congo Red using natural and Zn/Fe pillared bentonite showed a better adsorption process than Procion Red.
