Abstract

Sugarcane bagasse is one of the most abundant biomasses. This study aims to examine the characteristics of bagasse using a pyrolysis system to produce liquid, solid (Biochar), and gaseous. A fixed bed reactor was installed in pyrolysis with temperature variations from 300 to 600°C. The ultimate and proximate analysis was applied to evaluate the characteristic of bagasse. The experimental result found that the maximum bio-oil was obtained at a temperature of 550°C. Several characterizations were done, including gas chromatography and surface area analysis. The Levoglucosan compound of 78% area. The temperature effect on pyrolysis influenced the O/C ratio, H/C ratio, HHV value, and surface area of biochar. The High Heating Value was obtained from 16.698 to 18.496 kJ/kg. Biochar results indicated that the surface area, average pore size, and total pore volume are 180.3-198.0 m2/g, 1.42-4.33 nm, and 0.11-0.12 nm, respectively. The study also analyzed its composition in biochar.

Abstract

The low quality of groundwater, along with the increasing demand for drinking water for the community, encourages the need for water treatment technology to produce quality drinking water that is environmentally friendly. One promising method to be applied is membrane technology. In water treatment systems, membrane technology is often not used alone but combined with other methods to improve water quality more effectively. This study aims to apply several methods for the raw water treatment system to drinking water, including membrane filtration and UV irradiation. The removal of chemical pollutants was investigated and compared to the standard value from Minister of Health Regulation No. 492 Year 2010 for drinking water quality. This coupled treatment successfully improved the water quality. The concentration of chemical and biological pollutants such as total dissolved solids (TDS), Fe, Zn, Pb, and total Coliform were reduced by 58.53%; 43.48%; 88.89%; 66.67%.; and 86.15%, respectively. The results indicate that coupling microfiltration membrane to UV irradiation method can be an effective treatment to remove chemical pollutants and enhance the quality of raw water for drinking water preparation.

Abstract

Agroindustry residues can be utilized as a resource for alternative energy sources such as bio-briquettes. Using agro-industry residue is also a solution to reduce pollution caused by biomass waste in the environment. This article highlights the combustion quality analysis of biomass waste in the form of bio-briquettes with binding materials prepared from tapioca flour. The biomass used is a mixture of coconut shell charcoal and coal to improve the quality of the bio-briquettes. In this study, bio-briquettes were manufactured using a screw press system. The combustion quality of bio-briquettes with various percentage compositions (0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, 100:0) of coconut shell charcoal and coal was investigated, i.e., moisture content, ash content, combustion rate, and calorific value. Results show that the calorific value of most bio-briquettes produced in this study was higher than the standard calorific value according to  SNI Standard No.1/6235/2000 (≥ 5,000 cal/gr). The optimum composition to produce bio-briquette with good quality based on the standard is 75:25 (coconut shell charcoal: coal), which had a moisture content of 7.6325%, ash content of 6.9697%, combustion rate of 0.1833 gr/min, and caloric value of 5833.78 cal/gr.
