Abstract

Silica has been successfully extracted from sugarcane bagasse ash by using alkali method. Extraction was carried out using sodium hydroxide solution to obtain sodium silicate solution and solid residue. Then, hydrochloric acid solution was added to sodium silicate solution until pH of solution was 7 and silica was formed. Furthermore, silica was heated in oven at 150 ˚C and calcined at 700 ˚C. Variation of this study were extraction time (1, 2 and 3 hours). The synthesized silica were characterized functional groups, acidity level, water adsorption ability and adsorption ability of Cu2+ ion. The results of FTIR analysis showed that all silica contain siloxane group. Silanol group did not appear because during calcination process occured the condensation reaction of silanol group. Other characterization results showed that silica with extraction time of 2 hours had highest acidity level, water adsorption ability and adsorption ability of Cu2+ ion, which were 6.201 mmol/gram, 86.41% and 92.55%.

Abstract

ZSM-5 is a synthetic zeolite which has a complex production process and is affected by operating conditions, such as temperature and time. In this study, synthesized ZSM-5 without template by hydrothermal method. An autoclave reactor was used for the hydrothermal process. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of varied hydrothermal times of 24 and 48 hours with a hydrothermal temperature of 180oC on the characteristic of ZSM-5. The raw materials used were silica oxide and aluminum hydroxide as a source of silica and alumina. The synthesis results were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Based on XRD results, the best result was obtained in performed at 48 hours hydrothermal time indicating the formation of ZSM-5 material at the 22.2o position. The percentage crystallinity of the sample at the hydrothermal time of 48 hours was 51.3%.

Abstract

Watermelon albedo or the white flesh of watermelon rind contains pectin with high enough content. In this study was conducted the extraction of pectin from watermelon albedo by the liquid-solid extraction method. The citric acid solution was used as a solvent with concentrations varied by 4%, 7%, and 10%. The research steps include the pretreatment of raw material, the extraction, the posttreatment of extraction, and the analysis of pectin. The pretreatment aimed to reduce water content and reduce the size of raw material. The extraction process was the main process in which pectin dissolution occurred in the citric acid solvent. Furthermore, the posttreatment of extraction aimed to obtain pectin solid with the addition of ethanol. The final step was the analysis, including pectin yield, moisture content, methoxyl content, galacturonic acid content, and pectin functional group. Based on research obtained, an increase in the concentration of citric acid increased pectin yield, methoxyl content, and galacturonic acid content. The moisture content of pectin decreased with the increasing concentration of citric acid. Pectin yield, moisture content, methoxyl content, galacturonic acid content resulted from 10% concentration of citric acid solvent are 8.356%, 19.748%, 7.029%, and 69.048%, respectively. Based on FTIR analysis, the functional groups contained in pectin are hydroxyl group, methyl group, carbonyl group, and ether group. This functional groups are main constituents of pectin structure.

Abstract

Proses pengeringan ubi jalar (Ipomoea batatas) varietas cilembu dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan daya simpan bahan. Proses pengeringan ubi jalar cilembu dikerjakan dengan menggunakan alat pengering jenis tray dryer pada suhu 50 °C dan laju alir 2 m/s. Kajian kinetika diperoleh bahwa model yang paling akurat dalam mereprentasikan kinetika pengeringan ubi jalar cilembu adalah model Page dengan persamaan kinetika adalah MR = exp (-0,0033t1,3894). Hasil analisis energi diketahui bahwa penggunaan energi dan rasio penggunaan energi mengalami kenaikan pada awal proses hingga menit ke-40 dan selanjutnya mengalami penurunan karena kadar air dalam sampel rendah. Nilai penggunaan energi dan rasio penggunaan energi berturut-turut pada rentang 7,96-9,19 kJ/s dan 0,51-0,61. Sementara itu, efisiensi eksergi berada pada rentang 28-31%. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa efisiensi eksergi relatif rendah karena sebagian besar eksergi yang disediakan terbawa oleh udara keluar tray dryer. Kata kunci: ubi jalar cilembu, kinetika, energi, eksergi, pengeringan

Abstract

Water-based adhesive was one of the most important media for bonding substrates to one another because of their environmental friendly character. Previously, in the application of hardwood adhesives such as Ulin and Merbau, the type of adhesive used was a two-component system. For this reason, a one-component water-based adhesive was introduced in this study. The advantage of these was environmental friendly and high durability. In this application, delamination was one of the important parameters to determine whether the adhesive used was well penetrated or not. For this reason, delamination will be the main parameter in this study. This research includes the preparation of tools and materials, manufacture of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) solution, polymerization of polyvinyl acetate by mixing the main raw material of vinyl acetate monomer and PVOH solution using APS (ammonium persulfate) initiator. The polymerization process was carried out at 1 atm pressure and 75oC – 80oC temperature accompanied by stirring with ±500 rpm rotation rate. Final product is a homopolymer PVAc (polyvinyl acetate) with PVOH Z-210 with AAEM (acetoacetoxy ethyl methacrylate) content having an acetoxy functional group. A delamination test was carried out on the final product with a modified test based on Japanese Agricultural Standard 1152 where the product was immersed in water for 360 minutes, then placed in an oven at 40oC for 18 hours. Samples using PVOH with AAEM content have an average delamination rate of 0.67-1.67% while existing products on the market have an average delamination rate of 45.83-52.08%.

Abstract

Semiconductors are materials that range between insulators and conductors in terms of conductivity value. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is a semiconductor that is widely applied to various things. TiO2 has the benefits, such as being environmentally stable and inexpensive. TiO2 is photoactive in the range of ultraviolet radiation due to the band gap value of 3.2 eV. However, ultraviolet is only produced from 5% of sunlight. The research aimed to narrow the band gap energy so as to maximize light absorption. This is done by modification with the addition of Mg elements to TiO2 materials at different mass variations of Mg (1%, 1.5%, 2%) to the mass of TiO2 which is often referred to as doping. TiO2 was doped by Mg using a hydrothermal method for 24 hours with a temperature of 180ᵒC, followed by 2 hours of calcination at 400ᵒC. Then, TiO2 and Mg-doped TiO2 particles were characterized by SEM-EDX, FTIR, and UV-Vis. Based on the results of TiO2 and Mg-doped TiO2 particle characterization using SEM, both particles are spherical in shape. The success of Mg doping was identified from the data of EDX characterization, which revealed that the mass % of the Mg component increased with the greater Mg doping concentration on TiO2 particles. There was no structural change following Mg doping on TiO2 particles, as evidenced by the same peak based on the results of FTIR characterization of TiO2 and Mg-doped TiO2 particles. Moreover, a 2% Mg mass doping on pure TiO2 resulted in a decrease in band gap energy to 3.16 eV, in which the pure TiO2 was 3.39 eV. The mass doping of Mg on TiO2 required further optimization to obtain the maximum band gap energy reduction for photocatalytic applications.
