Abstract

The crisis in petroleum is caused by the diminishing supply of petroleum resources from nature. This phenomenon encourages researchers to continue to look for processes and methods to produce energy from other resources. One of these ways is to produce energy that can be utilized from waste, including converting waste cooking oil into biofuel. This method not only could provide a source of renewable energy, but also help resolve the issue of household waste. The process used to produce biofuel from waste cooking oil is by catalytic cracking, where waste cooking oil after pretreatment is converted into biofuel in the flow reactor with H-USY catalyst. In this research, the reaction temperatures used are 400 °C, 450 °C, 500 °C and 550 °C and reaction times are 30, 45 and 60 minutes with the mass ratio of the amount of waste cooking oil to the amount of catalyst used is 40:1 (w/w). The highest yield of liquid biofuel product was obtained at 60.98%. The use of H-USY catalyst shows that the distribution of components contained in biofuel are 28.02% of diesel products (C17 -C20), 23.96% of gasoline (C6 –C12) and 7.78% of Heavy oil (C20 >) in catalytic cracking of waste cooking oil with a reaction time of 45 minutes at a temperature of 450 °C.

Abstract

The demand of energy in the world today has increased exponentially, therefore, more efforts have been focused on looking for alternative renewable sources, such as biodiesel, which involves fuel produced from oil of plant, or animal fat. The objective of the research, therefore, was to utilize the palm oil mill effluent (POME) as a raw material in the production of biodiesel, by applying varying solvent, extraction time and the effluent to solvent ratio. Furthermore, the best output of oil rendement of (81.07%), in comparison with the total sample taken,was obtained using n-hexane, at an extraction time of 3 days, and ratio of 1:1. Furthermore, the output possessed a high acid number. Hence, it is considered in the process of esterification and transesterification, required in the production of biodiesel. The HCl catalyst ratio of 1.25% (%v) was used in the esterification process, and the lowest acid number of 2.08 mg-KOH/gr was obtained, followed by the transesterification process, using 1.5% (%w) of NaOH catalyst of the oil weight. Hence, the characteristics of biodiesel produced were in accordance with SNI 04-7182-2006.Keywords: POME, Biodiesel, Esterification and Transesterification, Extraction, n-Hexane

Abstract

Direct Alcohol Fuel Cell (DAFC) performance is influenced by electrocatalysis reactions that occur in Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA). In this study, MEA was made with Pt-Ru/C (anode) and Pt/C (cathode) catalysts. The results of the electrode characterization with XRD showed a carbon peak at 26.63° and Ru at 40.58°. Based on the results of Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) measurements, the Electrochemical Surface Area (ECSA) electrode value is known to be 373.601 cm2/mg. Meanwhile, the impedance value is 4.315 Ω and the electrical conductivity value is 6.61x10-4 S/cm. MEA testing using MeOH 3 M fuel produces Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) of 0.650 V. Meanwhile, MEA performance testing uses a mixture of methanol and ethanol 2 M in loading conditions obtained the best mixture of fuel composition is methanol: ethanol = 90:10 with a maximum power density of 4.34 mW/cm2 and is able to maintain the voltage at 0.649 V under conditions of 6.875 mA/cm2. The results also showed that the volume of ethanol which was too high resulted in a decrease in cell performance in the fuel mixture caused by the competition of adsorption between competing methanol and ethanol occupying the active site of the catalyst.Keywords: DAFC, fuel cell, Pt-Ru/C, ethanol, methanol, Open Circuit Voltage

Abstract

This study was carried out to evaluate the surficial water and sediment of Orashi River after confluence with Oguta. A total of 50 sub-samples were collected for the two media and were homogenized to form 10 composite samples (5 each). Water and sediment samples were analyzed for heavy metals concentrations and physico-chemical parameters. Data obtained was interpreted using ten chemometric models and standards of the Federal Ministry of Environment as touchstone values. Approximately 100 % of water samples were contaminated as opposed to 40 % of sediment samples. Both water and sediments showed that Cd  as the highest contaminant with contamination factors of 38 and 1.52 respectively. Water revealed pollution load index higher than sediment probably due to its dissolution ability to metals. Geo accumulation index was observed to have highest value for Cd (45) at point A while Fe (> 4) at all points and same time the highest negative value. All points exhibited very high ecological risk (RI; 1112.7–1473.9) for water while sediments at those points showed low (RI < 150). The water quality index (WQI) ranged from 1633.33–2275.57 with a minimum deviation of 1910 % from WQI (100) adjudged to be unsuitable for consumption. The exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) for all sampling sites ranged from 0.17-0.25 % suggesting good water for irrigation purposes. There was low sodium absorption ratio (SAR) and cation ratio of structural stability (CROSS) for the river water showing that it is good for irrigation. The sediment quality index was all less than 1 indicating no pollution of sediment. Transfer factors followed the order As>Cd>Ag>Cr>Fe>Cu>Mn>Co>Ni. In conclusion, the water was polluted but good for irrigation use. However, continuous use could lead to health problems due to bioaccumulation of metals while sediments were generally not polluted and of good quality

Abstract

The research on the preparation and characterization of transparent electrode carbon nanosheet based gelam woods bark doped with SnO2-SbO2. XRD analysis showed peaks at 2θ = 26.87°; 26.38° for carbon crystal and at 2θ = 28.59°; 34.35° for SnO; at 2θ = 51.99°; 62.20° for SbO2. SEM analysis show that the carbons have self-curling sheets that indicated defection in their surface. The carbons have self-curling sheets, which indicated that their surfaces have many defects. It assumed when exfoliation process is undergone, the layers was significantly decreased as sonication process and formed rCNSO. Diffractogram XRD of CNS, CNSO and rCNSO showed diffraction peak at 2θ= 24.3°. Oxygen functional group in CNSO might cause an increasing of interlayers distance between hexagonal networks of carbon layer. It also affect electrical resistant or the conductivity. FTIR spectrum indicate that CNSO has several  absorption peaks at for –OH stretch for free water and alcohol. At 2337 cm-1 was showed a carboxylic acid peaks and C=C stretch at 1627 cm-1. There is a skeletal vibration rCNSO structure occurred at each graphene layers. The ratio of the integrated intensities (IG/ID = 0.89 for CNS, 0.85 for CNS-O, and 0.93 for rCNSO of Raman spectroscopy is significantly high. Electrical conductivity of transparent electrode ranges from 1.26 x 10-7 Scm-1 – 5.03 x 10-7Scm -1. The highest conductivity value on transparent electrode contained rCNSO.This result inferred that the usage of rCNSO can increase electrical conductivity. Therefore, the higher value of electrical conductivity can be related to the value of La. The average maximum absorption wavelength is observed at 350-530 nm which means that the transition of the electronic transition π→π* occurs in the conjugated carbons system. Electrical conductivity of transparent electrode ranges from 1.26 x 10-7 Scm-1 – 5.03 x 10-7 Scm -1. The highest conductivity value on transparent electrode contained rCNSO. The band gap values in the transparent electrode range from 2 eV - 3 eV which means they have conductor – semiconductor characters.Keywords: Nanosheet, Carbon, Electrical, Conductivity, Derivate.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze nitro oxide emissions as a result of adding urea and zeolite to rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) on peatlands. The treatments used were 2 factors, namely factor 1 using a dose of urea fertilizer from three levels of treatment N1 : 125 kg/ha; N2 : 250 kg/ha; N3 : 375 kg/ha and factor 2, the dose of zeolite consists of three levels of treatment Z1 : 125 kg/ha; Z2 : 250 kg/ha; Z3 : 375 kg/ha. Each combination was repeated as many as 5 phases (phase 1 = 15 DDP, phase 2 = 35 DDP, phase 3 = 55 DDP, phase 4 = 65 DDP and phase = 90 DDP) so the number of units treatment 3 x 3 x 5 = 45 pots. Data analysis used linear regression test. The results showed the administration of a combination of urea doses and zeolite in rice plantations had not significant effect on nitrous oxide emissions produced at each observation. In this study, the highest nitrous oxide emissions were obtained in phases 1 and 2. From the results of the F test is Ho rejected. With this it is proven that the urea dose partially has not significant effect on nitro oxide emissions. The dose of zeolite (X2) is H0 is rejected, thus showing that zeolite has not significant effect on the availability of nitrous oxide emissions.Keywords: Urea, Zeolite, Nitro oxide emissions peatlands

Abstract

Materials with potential of fast absorption of water or liquid have emerged as very interesting objects for researches. Superabsorbent polymer is a cross linked polymer which has ability to absorb water hundreds to thousands of times the dry weight because it has hydrophilic groups. Owing to this characteristic this polymer gets attention for many applications, one of these is diapers. Superabsorbent polymer was synthesized from the mixture of glucomannan-pottasium acrylic-acrylamide solution by irradiation crosslinking with doses irradiation 10 kGy. It was found that SAP showed super swelling properties in water (880 g/g) at short time (15 minutes) and in real urine has a good swelling 110 g/g. Acrylamide was able to increase the swelling ratio in real urine. Therefore, it can be candidate as thin diapers with high sorption. The result of FTIR spectra confirmed that the crosslinkingoccurs in the hydrogels and SEM images of hydrogels showed large numbers of pores from SEM examinationKeywords: Superabsorbent polymer; Acrylic acid; Acrylamide; Glucomannan; Irradiation
