Abstract

The waste of cooking oil is a danger to human health. The Heating of waste cooking oil at high temperatures will cause an increase in free fatty acid (FFA) and peroxide number in the oil. Therefore, waste cooking oil needs to be processed before being reused. This paper studies the effect of operation conditions on the purification of waste cooking oil over a natural zeolite catalyst. The stage of the purification process is despicing, neutralization, and bleaching process. The despicing process injected the steam to remove impurities. The effect of the mass flow rate of oil at 1.051; 0.456 and 0.139 Kg/s on FFA value was studied. After that, the neutralization and bleaching process. The Bleaching process was performed using zeolite adsorbent. The results show that the purification method of waste cooking oil decreases of the color of oil, free fatty acid, and peroxide value.  In this study, the best performance of the despicing process at the mass flow rate of the oil is 0.139 Kg/s, a temperature of 60°C with 500 rpm stirring for the neutralization process and bleaching process of natural zeolite.  The value of free fatty acid content (FFA) is 2.22 mg. KOH/mg fat, peroxide is 6.98 mekO2/kg, color degradation is 66.93% and water content is 0.32% (w/w).

Abstract

Pyrolysis is a decomposition reaction method involving the heating of a material with little or no oxygen. The objectives of this research are to utilize plastic waste for the production of liquid fuel and determine the optimal conditions for maximizing liquid fuel yield. The pyrolysis method was used at a temperature of 350°C for 300 minutes with High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polypropylene (PP) plastic as raw materials in composition variations of 7:3, 5:5, and 3:7, and the Bayah natural zeolite catalyst was activated and varied in amounts of 0%, 3%, and 5%. The analysis included yield tests, density tests, viscosity tests, calorific value tests, and the composition analysis of the liquid product yield.The results of this research indicated that the highest liquid product yield was obtained with a composition of 30% HDPE, 70% PP, and 0% catalyst, achieving a yield of 66.4%. It was concluded that the activated Bayah natural zeolite catalyst was not sufficiently effective in the pyrolysis process at a temperature of 300°C. The highest density and viscosity values were obtained with a composition of 70% HDPE, 30% PP, and 0% catalyst, which were 0.764 g/cm³ and 0.789 cP, respectively. The highest calorific value was obtained with a 50% HDPE and 50% PP composition, reaching 10,978.8 Cal/g. The composition analysis of the liquid product yield for a 70% HDPE and 30% PP composition resulted in 42% gasoline and 58% kerosene. For a 30% HDPE and 70% PP composition, the yield was 30% gasoline, 62% kerosene, and 8% diesel.

Abstract

Indonesia is a major producer of Eucheuma cottonii seaweed, yet its utilization remains suboptimal. Approximately 80% of seaweed exports consist of raw materials with low market value. The research aims to enhance the quality and market value of seaweed by transforming it into semi-refined carrageenan products. The method used for carrageenan production involves extraction using a KOH solution with different concentration levels using 5%, 7.5%, and 10% (w/v), along with drying temperatures ranging from 80°C to 90°C. Additionally, bleaching treatment is applied using calcium hypochlorite with concentration level using 1.5% and 2.5% (w/v). The analyses conducted include water content, ash content, yield, viscosity, gel strength, and degree of whiteness. The optimal results for semi-refined carrageenan, based on yield analysis, water and ash content, gel strength, viscosity, and degree of whiteness, were obtained from samples with a KOH concentration of 10%, calcium hypochlorite concentration of 1.5%, and drying temperature of 80°C.

Abstract

Encapsulation is a process to protect active components or other materials in the form of liquids, solids, and gases which are sensitive to the environment using coating materials. Encapsulation can be used for the pharmaceutical, food, beverage, textile, and other industries. The encapsulation method has been developed depending on the active ingredient being protected and its function. The encapsulation method is generally divided into chemical and mechanical methods. This review aims to explain the emulsion crosslinking which is one of the encapsulation methods. This method was easy and simple, just add a crosslink agent to the emulsion and then the microparticles formed were washed, filtered, and dried. This review also reports several encapsulation studies using the emulsion crosslinking method.
