Abstract

AbstractThis study uses an ammonia wastewater treatment system using 6 lanes and uses a batch-continuous system with electrolysis. Ammonia liquid waste content before and after electrolysis was analyzed using the Nessler method and analyzed using the Spectrophotometry method at a wavelength of 460 nm. Ammonia liquid waste with ammonia content can be used between 18,000-22,000 ppm used as a test sample. The results of this study indicate that the decrease in ammonia concentration every time is directly proportional to the amount of strong current and the number of electrode cells applied. The difference in number, by using 1 pair of cells can reduce 49.19%, 3 pairs of cells by 67.89%, and 5 pairs of cells by 85.08%. In the variation of electric current, 1; 5; 10; and 15 amperes produce 34.03%, respectively; 55.99%; 67.68% and 83.28%. On variations in the influence of the flow rate of 250; 500; 750; 1,000; and 1,250 mL/min resulting from a decrease in the concentration of ammonia is relatively the same, ie concentrations between 82% to 84%. The rate of decrease in ammonia concentration at the liquid level reaches 85.08% by using a variation of 5 pairs of electrode cells with a strong current of 15 amperes. The flow rate used is 250 mL/minute, the electrolysis process is carried out for 8 hours. The modification of the wastewater treatment system by using this electrolysis method is feasible for ammonia liquid waste treatment.  Keywords: Electrolysis, modification, batch-continuous, Nessler, Spectrophotometry, ammonia liquid waste, electrode cells, current strength, flow rate, stainless steel.

Abstract

Synthesis of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA)-intercalated Mg/Al-LDH and PHBA-immobilized Mg/Al-LDH have been conducted. PHBA-intercalated Mg/Al-LDH hybrid was synthesized by co-assembly process of Mg/Al-LDH nanosheets and PHBA anions. PHBA-immobilized Mg/Al-LDH was prepared by indirect synthesis, where PHBA anions were attached on surface of the Mg/Al-LDH material. Characterization by X-ray Diffraction showed that the PHBA-intercalated Mg/Al-LDH hybrid has the lattice parameter of a=3.02 Å, lattice parameter of c=46.77 Å and basal spacing d003=15.14 Å, where PHBA has been intercalated in interlayer of the hybrid. The PHBA-immobilized Mg/Al-LDH has lattice parameter of a=3.06 Å, lattice parameter of c=23.70 Å and basal spacing d003=7.90 Å. The analytical result confirmed that PHBA has been attached on surface of the hybrid for PHBA-immobilized Mg/Al-LDH. The optimum 10 mL of [AuCl4]‾ 100 mg L-1 removal condition of both hybrids were reached at pH 3. The optimum interaction time of [AuCl4]‾ and PHBA-intercalated Mg/Al-LDH hybrid was 250 minutes, respectively, while that for [AuCl4]‾ and PHBA-immobilized Mg/Al-LDH was 150 minutes. Removal of [AuCl4]‾ by PHBA-intercalated Mg/Al-LDH hybrid followed pseudo second order kinetic, whereas by PHBA-immobilized Mg/Al-LDH followed pseudo first order kinetic. Characterization using stereo photomicroscope confirmed that [AuCl4]‾ could be reduced  to Au  metal by both hybrids.

Abstract

Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is a vegetable oil that contains free fatty acids. Free fatty acids (FFA) with a percentage below 5 are one of the parameters that affect the selling price of this commodity. The CPO used in this study came from a fatpit station with an acid number of 18 to 24 mgKOH / gram of oil. This study aims to reduce the free fatty acids contained in CPO by the ion exchange method using the help of Amberlite IRA 900 resin and Lewatit Monoplus M500 and then the acid number is calculated. The solvent used in this study was n-hexane with a ratio of 1: 1, 2: 3, 3: 2 and 1: 2 to oil. The research was initiated by activating the two types of resin using NaOH 4% solution as much as 450 ml, then each resin was mixed with hexane oil mixed with an initial ratio of 1: 1, the results were then distilled to separate the oil and hexane and then calculate the acid number. The resin that has been used is then rinsed using methanol before reducing the acid number again, if the acid number is ≥ 5 mgKOH / gram the oil is regenerated from the resin used. The results of this study showed that the Lewatit resin with a ratio of 3: 2 was able to decrease the acid number consistently for 3 times, regeneration had no effect on the decrease in acid number.Keywords: deacidification, anion resin, n-heksan, NaOH, CPO Abstrak (Indonesian)Crude Palm Oil (CPO) adalah salah satu minyak nabati yang memiliki kandungan asam lemak bebas.
