Abstract

The effects of designed protection conditions such as different antioxidant (propyl gallate, PG and Pyrogallol, PY), antioxidant concentration (30 – 600 ppm), temperature (30˚C -120˚C) and storage period (3 – 5 days) on the oxidation stability of castor biodiesel were investigated. Using the American Standard for Testing Materials (ASTM) recommended protocols to determine the changes in the physicochemical properties (acid value, p-anisidine value, peroxide value, totox value, density, kinematic viscosity and refractive index ) of the castor biodiesel were measured and protection conditions optimized using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) according to the Box–Behnken Design (Design Expert version 11 Statistical Software). The analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed results indicated the nature of antioxidants; concentration levels and temperature were the most important factors in the biodiesel oxidation, whereas the day of storage was one of the lowest factors. The changes in some important physicochemical values are indication of degradation occurring in the biodiesel under the set storage condition. The optimal conditions for better protection against biodiesel degradation were propyl gallate with the concentration of 316.634 ppm, temperature of 57.874 oC for 4.166 days produced refractive index of 1.515 oC, acid value of 1.423, p-anisidine value of 21.068 and Totox was 1.842 with the overall desirability of 1.000. The overall results showed that castor biodiesel could comply with the standard with PY being more effective than PG. The combined use of these antioxidants did not show, especially at low concentrations, a synergic or additive effect, which makes the mixture of these antioxidants unsuitable to improve the oxidative stability.

Abstract

Bio-oil pyrolysis product considered as a promising resource of hydrocarbon compound that can be used as alternative fuel or other application. Palm empty fruit bunch (PEFB) based bio-oil converted into hydrocarbon trough pyrolysis over sulfate activation natural zeolite. Here, we reported an optimization process of bio-oil pyrolysis specifically on temperature and catalyst dose variables by using response surface methodology (RSM). Prior conversion process, PEFB was analyzed to determine cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin content. Sulfate activation natural zeolite confirmed its acidity by ammonia and pyridine adsorption calculated by gravimetric method. Two independent variables namely temperature and catalyst weight used in optimization process by RSM whereas response variable is conversion percentage. Analysis result on cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin content are 45.39%, 30.36% and 20.5% respectively. Catalyst acidity determination based on ammonia and pyridine adsorption gave 1.002 mmol/g and 0.1994 mmol/g. Optimum condition of hydrocracking achieved at 568 °C and 2.1088 g catalyst weight with the product obtained at 62.21% conversion. The best product density is 1.086 g/mL obtained at hydrocracking temperature 554 °C and 2.0362 g catalyst. Based on GC-MS analysis, it was confirmed that the product comprises more straight-chain hydrocarbon than cyclic one. RSM calculation able to formulate the feasible model equation to predict the conversion percentage. The equation is; percent conversion = 60.059 + 14.268T + 9.783W – 25.649T2 – 18.809W2 + 3.114TW, whereas model equation for response variable on product density; ρ= 1.09103 – 0.12356T – 0.09744W + 0.11489T2 + 0.28888W2 – 0.00740TW

Abstract

Catalysts have an essential role in chemical processes because they can control reactions and produce the desired product. In general, catalysts function to speed up chemical reactions that can take place by lowering the activation energy. By decreasing the activation energy, the minimum energy required for the collision is reduced so that the reaction can occur faster. Selection of the suitable material to be used as a catalyst is an effort that must be made to achieve a successful process and obtain cost efficiency. The choice of material as metal and support was the aim of this research. Aluminum (Al) was the material chosen as metal and γ-Al2O as the support. The method used in the synthesis of this catalyst was dry impregnation. It is hoped that more metal will stick to the support. In this study, catalyst synthesis was carried out with two variations of treatment. The first treatment was using Al as metal and γ-Al2O3 as the support. The second treatment did not use metal only γ-Al2O3 as the support. The resulting material was characterized by XRD analysis. The analysis found that in the diffractogram pattern of Al /γ-Al2O3, the peaks appeared at 2θ = 37o; 46o and 67o. The impregnation process went well. Aluminum was evenly distributed (sticks) to the pore surface of the support and entered the poresKeywords: Catalyst, metal-support, Al/γ-Al2O3, dry impregnation, XRD

Abstract

Coal resources are inclusive (reserves are part of the resource), of which 48% is located in South Sumatra, with 70% of the deposits being brown or low-quality coal. With the high amount available, the direct use of coal has several shortcomings, one of which is that coal releases gases (CO2, N2O, NOx, SOx and Hg) which cause global warming. Coal gasification is a process for converting solid coal into a gas mixture that has a fuel value. Coal gasification will produce producer gas in the form of synthetic gas (syngas) with the main components consisting of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), and methane gas (CH4). By converting coal using gasification as a clean energy producer, a blower as a regulator of air flow, a cyclone as a tar separator and a gas cooler. Based on the results of testing the variation of coal used, the variation of 5515 Kcal / Kg coal has a rapid rise in temperature and is able to produce a flame for 115 minutes. with the composition of Syngas CO and CH4 of 12.4% an 1.2%, while the coal variation of 4640 kcal/kg produces the highest H2 of 6.9%. Coal 5515 kcal/kg produces the largest percentage of syngas conversion, carbon conversion, Low Heating Value, power output and stove efficiency, namely 13.46%, 70.397%, 2.427 MJ/kg, 18.403 KW and 31.23%

Abstract

Excessive use of electricity produces emissions, as well as carbon will have impact on global warming because electricity mostly still using fossil-based energy. Usage of other alternative energy is beneficial to reduce dependence on the use of fossil fuels. Researchers are currently working to reduce the use of fossil energy by using renewable energy. Among the most common alternative energies found is water, so this research focuses on designing dry cell type HHO (Hydrogen Hydrogen Oxygen) Generator technology with hydrogen gas water electrolysis. The HHO generator functions to break water (H2O) into hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms, known as HHO. Electrolysis testing using NaCl and a storage tube to see the rise and fall of water from the gas produced. NaCl used weighing 20 grams, 50 grams, 75 grams, and 100 grams dissolved in 500 cc of water. The results of the data obtained, many uses of NaCl produce hydrogen gas faster, the data shows 100 grams of NaCl at 180-210 seconds produces a gas volume of 175 CC compared to 20 grams produces a gas volume of 75 CC, 50 grams produces 125 CC, and 75 grams produces 150 CC
