Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the type of floor in the composting process of leaf wastes. The waste consisted of cacao leaves (Theobroma cacao L.), rubberwood leaves (Hevea brasiliensis), teak leaves (Tectona grandis L.f), matoa or Fijian longan leaves (Pometia pinnata), durian leaves (Durio zibethinus), and grass. The research was conducted by composting the leaf mixtures in a composting box sizing 220 cm in length, 180 cm in width, and 100 cm in height. A long box was partitioned by using plastic tarpaulin into four boxes for different floors, namely cement, soil, tarpaulin, and rice husks. A mixture of leaves of 127 kg to 176 kg was introduced in each box and was composted for 145 days. Variables observed were temperature, the height of heap, the mass of material (initial and final), C/N ratio, NPK contents, compost color, odor, pH, and moisture content. The results showed that compost quality fulfilled Indonesian National Standard (SNI 19-7030-2004) regardless of the floor types. However, the type of floors affected the compost process and yield. The composting process with tarpaulin-layered or husk-layered floors produced better compost in terms of N, P, C/N ratio, and color as compared to those resulting from cemented or barely soil floors.

Abstract

Fast growing wood has high potential in increasing numbers but has a low quality so that it requires modification to improve wood quality. Oil heat treatment (OHT) is one of a wood modification method using vegetable oil as a heat conducting medim. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of temperature OHT on color change (ΔL*, Δa*, Δb*, and ΔE), physical properties (density, moisture content, water absorption, and weight changes), and the compressive strength of mindi (Melia adezarach) and sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria). OHT was conducted using 2 hours duration on temperature 180C, 200C, 220C, and 240C. The results showed that the effect of temperature on wood color inflicted an increase in the values of ΔL*, Δa*,Δb*, and ΔE on higher temperature of OHT. The effect of temperature on the physical properties of wood results in an increase on density at certain temperature and wood species as well as decreasing moisture content, water absorption, and weight changes of wood on higher temperature of OHT. The effect of temperature on mechanical properties of wood results in increasing compressive strength at certain temperatures and types of wood, but there is decrease compressive strength in the higher temperature of OHT.Keywords:   Color change, oil hot treatment, mechanical properties, physical properties
