Abstract

Oil Palm Frond can be used as alternative energy source by using torrefaction process. Torrefaction is a pre-treatment process of biomass into solid fuel within temperature range of 200-300oC in an inert condition. This research aims to produce solid fuel from oil palm frond and study the effect of process variabel towards characteristic of solid fuel resulted. Torrefaction of empty fruit bunch was using fixed bed horizontal reactor with temperature (250-300oC) and particle size (5-15 mm). Product quality resulted was calorific value, mass yield, energy yield and proximate (moisture content, ash content, volatile content and fixed carbon). The result obtained for calorific value in range was 19513.82-22684.77 kJ/kg, mass yield was 47.93-71.64 %, and energy yield was 65.09-86.39 %. 17091.03-20697.13 kJ/kg, mass yield was 52.63-84.52% and energy yield was 64.12-99.05%.

Abstract

Rhodamine B is one of the various toxic dye that contributes significantly to environmental pollution, because it is non-biodegradable, toxic and harmful to the environment. One effort to reduce the amount of rhodamine b is the adsorption process. One of the good adsorbent that can be use for adsorbtion process is palm oil fly ash. The purpose of this study to aim the effect of adsorption temperature, pH, and adsorbent mass. Knowing the optimum conditions for reducing the levels of dye in the water, as well as determine the adsorption equilibrium models rhodamine b using fly ash oil modified with 0,1M HCl as an adsorbent. Fly ash modification processes are done by mixing fly ash and HCl in the ratio 1:10 of 0,M HCl solution. The adsorption process is conducted by mixing fly ash 0.5; 1; 1,5 and 2g/L and pH solution of rhodamine b 2; 4; 6; 8 with temperature of 30; 35; 45oC and with various of rhodamine b’s initial solution 10, 20, 30 dan 40ppm.

Abstract

A fly ash supported sodium oxide (Na2O) catalyst used in transesterification reaction of off-grade palm oil for biodiesel production. The catalyst synthesized by loading Na2O from sodium nitrate (NaNO3) into fly ash micro pore through impregnation method. The optimum catalyst preparation conditions were determined by influence of calcination temperature and weight ratio of NaNO3/fly ash. Catalyst with highest catalytic activity was achieved when calcined at 550oC and proportion of NaNO3/fly ash is 90:10. Under the conditions of oil : methanol ratio of 1:8, catalyst dosage of 4 wt% and temperature of 60oC for 3 h, the biodiesel yield reaches to 89,12%. Na2O, SiO2, NaNO3 and Na2O2 were found in the catalyst through X-ray diffraction (XRD) while the basic strength of the catalyst H_ > 9,3 was determined by using Hammett indicator phenolphthalein. Surface area of the developed catalyst is 21,651 m2/g through Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET).

Abstract

Biodiesel is one of renewable energy in Indonesia that have to be development. Biodiesel formed as liquid fuel and has same property with petrodiesel. Biodiesel can be synthesized from off-grade palm oil using Na2O/fly ash as catalyst in transesterification process. Employing fly ash as support in Na2O has a good impact due to provide wide surface of catalyst. In this study aims to see the influence of reaction temperature, molar ratio of methanol and oil and concentration of Na2O/fly ash towards biodiesel yield. The process was conducted through reaction of esterification and followed by transesterification reaction. Processing of the data in this study was conducted by response surface methodology (RSM) using Design Expert 7.0 program which is experimental design determined by central composite design (CCD) which consists of three variables. The highest result of biodiesel yield was 81,2% at 60oC reaction temperature, molar ratio of methanol : oil 8 : 1 and catalyst concentration of Na2O/fly ash 4%-wt. Biodiesel characteristics such as density, kinematic viscosity, acid value and flash point has been appropriate by Indonesian biodiesel standard. The most significant condition of process affecting the yield of biodiesel was catalyst concentration.Keywords : biodiesel, catalyst, fly ash, off-grade palm oil, transesterification
