Abstract

Biodegradable polybags are an alternative to overcome the weakness of synthetic polybags because of their degradation properties. Oil palm empty fruit bunches contain a lot of cellulose so that they can be used as a biodegradable polybag. Wet Strength serves to increase the physical strength of bio-polybags when exposed to water (in wet conditions) so that water content stability is required. In this study, Cellulose Stearate Esters were synthesized in an effort to increase the stability of the water content in bio-polybags. Cellulose Stearate Esters are synthesized through a transesterification reaction between -Cellulose isolated from Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) with methyl stearate. The synthesis of cellulose stearate esters was carried out by refluxing for 2 hours using methanol solvent with various catalysts Na2CO3 5, 10, 15, 20 mg and with volume variations of methyl stearate 5, 10, 15. And the best variation was determined based on the degree of substitution test, namely with variations Na2CO3 catalyst 20 mg and volume of methyl Stearate 15 ml, amounting to 1.95. The result of the synthesis, namely cellulose stearate, was tested for functional groups by FT-IR spectroscopy and surface morphology using SEM. The formation of cellulose stearate is supported by the FT-IR spectrum in the wavenumber region of 3468.01 cm-1 indicating an OH group, 3062.96 cm-1 indicating a CH stretching group, 1695.43 cm-1 indicating a C=O group, cm-1 indicating a CH bending group, 1095.57cm-1 indicates a COC group, 609.51cm-1 indicates a (CH2)n>4 group. The results of surface morphology analysis using SEM showed that the surface of cellulose stearate looked homogeneous, more regular and had denser cavities than -Cellulose

Abstract

In this study, Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) shell powder which contains calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was converted into calcium oxide (CaO). The Oyster shell powder that had been activated was utilized for the adsorption of the methylene blue (MB) dyeing material, which is one of waste water concerns. Oyster shells were crushed and sieved into 100 mesh sized powder and then calcinated at a temperature of 600℃ and 800℃ both for 4 hours period. To determine the adsorption equilibrium, methylene blue (MB) solution was used with varying concentration from 10 to 50 mg/L in which the adsorbent weighing 3 g was put into a conical flash and shaken until the adsorption equilibrium was reached. As for the adsorption kinetics, 250 mL MB solution was used with initial concentrations of 10, 20 and 30 mg/L, with an adsorbent weight of 3 g and a solution at pH 11 for each concentration. The evaluation of the experimental data from the adsorption process is well explained by the Freundlich equation, with the correlation coefficient value (R2) found to be 0.9999, where the value of the adsorption intensity (n) is close to unity; this shows that the adsorption is multilayer or in other words the adsorption energy is heterogeneous. The kinetics study also shows that pseudo second-order model is the most applicable to the adsorption process. From the pseudo-second-order model, with the correlation coefficient between 0.9984 - 0.9999 can explain that the methylene blue (MB) adsorption process is chemically based sorption or in other words termed as chemisorption.

Abstract

Membrane application in reverse osmosis (RO) membrane is getting more attention especially in producing drinking water. However, RO membrane faces challenges that reduces its performance such as its permeation flux, salt rejection, additional energy demand, lifetime decrease, extra pre-treatment process, cleaning and maintenance. The challenge is the formation of fouling. RO membrane fouling can happen inside or outside the membrane and the characteristics of membrane fouling differs from one type to other types, depending on the nature and location of membrane fouling. There are several types of RO fouling, which are Biofouling, Organic Fouling, Inorganic Fouling and Colloidal Fouling. The causes of RO membrane are different from one to another. The properties and materials of the  solution entering RO membrane are important as it affects the type of fouling of RO membrane fouling. All of the RO membrane foulings need to be considered during membrane usage and demand solution to be controlled. In order to control the fouling in Reverse Osmosis membrane, there have been several control solutions discovered to the membrane fouling challenges. The control solutions are specified to each one of the fouling, in spite of wide applications for some of it. The control solutions are pre-treatment, which has many methods such as photo oxidation, coagulation, scale inhibitor, ion exchange resins, granular media and membrane    treatment, membrane monitoring, membrane cleaning, surface modification, and material addition to membrane or novel membrane   material. With various control solutions discovered, the RO membrane still faces fouling issue and is still demanding some more    advanced applicable control solutions.

Abstract

Abstract Arabica coffee is one type of coffee that dominates most of the world's coffee market. In Indonesia, arabica coffee can be found in Bali, Java, North Sumatra, Toraja and the Gayo Highlands. The Gayo Highlands are the best coffee producers in Indonesia. One of the determinants of coffee quality and productivity is the quality of coffee plantations. The problems faced by coffee farmers in Pante Raya Village, Kab. Bener Meriah is a dense soil condition because the land was previously used as paddy fields. As for the coffee plantation area of 1 ha, the yield of coffee beans is 2 tons with coffee husk waste as much as 1 ton per year. For now, the coffee skin is just trash. On the other hand, people use fertilizers to maintain and increase coffee productivity, but it costs a lot. Seeing these problems, community service was carried out in Pante Raya Village, Bener Meriah Regency by making biopori using coffee husk waste, leaves and twigs of coffee plants. The installation of this biopore is expected to be useful as a waste treatment medium that is useful for fertilizing the soil, increasing soil pores and absorption of water in the soil. This service activity will be carried out in the form of direct education and training on making biopori by utilizing the waste. Biopori is expected to reduce waste as well as provide alternative fertilizers that are safe and cheap. Keywords: Coffee, Gayo, biopori, waste, fertilizer

Abstract

Cat fish is one of preferred food for most Acehnese people, particularly in Lhokseumawe regions. This is the motive of most people are interested in cultivating such fish; beside the selling price is relatively high, it also has increasing ramp of demand every year. In order to meet the increasing demand, the fish farms are in need of appropriate feed aiming for upgrading cat fish growing rate. Around Lhokseumawe region, despite of numerous tofu industries the dregs are still not well utilized. The waste of tofu industries, which is tofu dregs, functions as cat fish feed. Tofu dregs made cat fish feed has numbers of advantages, such as accelerating the fish growth until 17-18%. This is due to the coarse fiber protein contain to be 7.11%, fat 4.93% and BETN 44.50%. Beside its nutritional advantages as alternative cat fish feed raw material, tofu dregs as cat fish feed material should be examined in technical and financial aspects so that it is guaranteed to be implemented. Hence, in this research the feasibility study was conducted on technical aspects of processing solid tofu dregs to be cat fish feed by using BEP and PP analysis methods. According to Payback Period (PP) value, the business has three months and six days period of time in order to return the initial investment capital. The production rate in one months must be above 542 kg in order to avoid from being lost. With the existing production capacity (1.092 kg/month), the cat fish feed price must be above IDR 6.116/kg in order to cover all expenditure in the time period.

Abstract

The products produced at the Primajasa Palm Oil Mill are Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and palm kernel (kernel). The palm oil processing process goes through several stations, including loading ramp station, sterilizing station, threshing stations, digesting and pressing station, clarification station, and kernel stations. In the palm oil processing industry, the main factors that can cause damage palm oil quality are high moisture content and free fatty acid (FFA) levels. This study aims to analyze the quality of CPO based on the performance of the vacuum dryer at the Primajasa Palm Oil Mill as seen from the free fatty acid (FFA) and moisture content. The average results obtained from the analysis of the moisture content of CPO before entering the vacuum dryer and after leaving the vacuum dryer were 0.57% and 0.27%. Meanwhile, the average results obtained from the analysis of FFA CPO levels before entering the vacuum dryer and after leaving the vacuum dryer were 3.63% and 3.57%. Based on these results, it is known that a vacuum dryer can reduce the value of moisture content and FFA levels contained in CPO. These results also indicate that the moisture content and free fatty acid (FFA) content in the sample are in accordance with the national quality standard of CPO.
