Abstract

Rubber seed as a biomass is potentially used as the source of alternative energy in briquette. Previous research had found that rubber seed briquette has the highest heating value of 6287,8 cal/g. It can be increased by varying temperature and mesh size. In this research, the effect of temperature and particle size on the amount of heat of rubber seed biobriquette from Muarakuang (Batu Raja) was investigated. It was done in Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya Palembang laboratory. Proximate analysis was executed in Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya Palembang coal laboratory. The temperature varied of 250 oC, 500 oC, and 750 oC with the particle size varied by 80 mesh, 120 mesh, and 200 mesh. Quality test of fabricated biobriquette consisted of proximate analysis such as calorific value, inherent moisture, ash ratio, volatile matter ratio, and fixed carbon ratio. The highest of heating value was 6836 cal/g from biobriquette sample were found under particle size of 80 mesh and temperature of 250 oC. The heating value reached 5371 cal/g which the particle size was 200 mesh and temperature of 750 oC. The heating value of biobriquette were compared with Indonesian National Standardization (SNI), which met with the standard of heating value (5000 cal/g).

Abstract

Research on Fabrication of Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) by Using Emulsion Method as an Alternative Material For Vehicle Bumper Protector aims to produce of the thermoplastic elastomers by emulsion method with variation of composition ratio of polypropylene grafting and Maleic Anhydride (PP-g-MA)(mL) : latex (mL) : glycerin, to have strong tensile strength results according to British Plastic Federation standard 0.5 – 2.4 (N/mm2) standard for bumper material elongation maximum of 22.62%. Emulsion method was used as sample preparation which is grafting polypropylene (PP) with Maleate Anhydride (MA) then continued with PP-g-MA Emulsion Making and Natural Rubber Latex Density. The observation technique of the test is done by FTIR PP-g-MA analysis, stability test, TPE visual analysis, TPE surface morphology using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) tool and TPE tensile strength test. The results of FTIR analysis is that the samples closest to the carbonyl value of C = O with the highest absorption were without glycerine samples 1703.48 cm-1 with the absorption of 94.84% and carbonyl C-O 1219 cm-1 with the absorption of 95.19%. The stability testing of density values reaches the standard of the Plastic Federation of 0.91 - 1.30 g/mL, for samples having the highest and stable density values up to the seventh day of observation is a sample of PP-g-MA: Latex (75:25) which is 1.059 g/mL. In the SEM test on the PP-g-MA sample: Latex (75:25) with a average diameter pores size of 1.408 μm and the smallest diameter pore size of 0.728 μm. The highest value of tensile strength occurred in the sample with the comparison of PP-g-MA: Latex (75:25) 1,175 N/mm2 and a maximum elongation of 22.62%.
