Abstract

In Indonesia, 187 million tons of biomass were produced from 8.11 million ha of oil palm plantation in 2009. This massive amount of biomass mainly consists of oil palm fronds (OPF) and oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB), which are normally categorized as waste. The properties of OPF fibers compared to those of synthetic fibers, such as low density, low cost, less abrasion of equipment, and safer production, makes them an attractive reinforcement for composite materials. In this work, the utilization of oil palm empty fruit bunch ash for OPF fiber-polyester resin composite and the effect of process conditions were studied. Water absorption, tensile and flexural strength were used to characterize the effects of alkaline treatment on modified OPF fibers in polyester resin. The investigation focused on the effect of alkaline treatment time. Treatment temperature and liquid to solid ratio were analyzed using Response Surface Method-Central Composite Design (RSM-CCD). The highest tensile strength (44.87 MPa) was achieved at 12 hours soaking time, at 40°C treatment temperature and 5:1 water to ash ratio. The highest flexural strength (120.50 MPa) was obtained at 1.3 hours soaking time, 4 dissolving ratio and 35°C treatment temperature. The lowest water absorption of composite (3.00%) was achieved at the longest soaking time (14.7 hours), 4 dissolving ratio and 35°C treatment temperature. Variance of soaking time, dissolving ratio and temperature in the alkaline treatment process using extract of oil palm empty fruit bunch ash significantly affected the mechanical and physical properties of the oil palm frond fibers reinforced composite.

Abstract

Potential of waste blood cockle shell in Indonesia is quite large. Waste of blood cockle shell contains calcium carbonate compounds that can be used as raw material for the synthesis of hydroxyapatite . In this research, the PCC synthesis of blood cockle shell in advance to obtain a pure hydroxyapatite. The aim of this research was to get the hydroxyapatite from PCC blood cockle shell, determine optimum process condition and also to investigate the effect of the Ca/P mole ratio and the reaction time toward Hydroxyapatite synthesis. The powder of sea shell was calcined at 900 oC for 2 hours. CaO was converted to PCC which then reacted with diammonium hydrogen phosphate by using water as solvent. The samples then were characterized by using FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). The functional groups were observed in the FTIR of the synthesized hydroxyapatite are phosphate (PO43-), hydroxyl (OH-), and carbonate (CO32-). These functional groups indicate that hydroxyapatite has been formed. XRD data showed the main peaks for hydroxyapatite that strenghtened the truth of FTIR characterization. SEM was used to observe the morphology of the synthesized hydroxyapatite that consisted of agglomerates.
