The presence of acetyl group in the backbone of water-soluble glucomannan is responsible for its solubility. This solubility requires being modified to support glucomannan application as an encapsulant. Removing the group by deacetylation reduces the solubility. This work was aims to study simultaneous effect of temperature and time of deacetylation on glucomannan physicochemical properties. The deacetylation was conducted in ethanol using Na2CO3 at various times (2, 4, 8, 16, 24 and 28 h) and temperatures (room temperature, 40, 50, and 60°C). The deacetylated samples were subject to degree of deacetylation (DD) as well as solubility and swelling analysis in pH 1.2 and 6.8. DD was in positive correlation with deacetylation time and temperature. The solubility of the deacetylated glucomannan at both pHs decreased along with the deacetylation time. A reverse trend was found for swelling determination at both pHs. Increasing deacetylation temperature showed a positive impact in swelling determination but not occuring on the solubility. Interestingly, the swelling and solubility were lower at pH 1.2 than those at pH 6.8. These results showed physicochemical of deacetylated glucomannan was pH sensitive, hence have a potency as an excipient of controlled-release drug delivery system.

Ethylene is naturally generated by climacteric fruits and can promote the ripening process faster. For effective long-distance transport and subsequent storage, removing ethylene from the storage environment has been of interest to suppress its undesirable effect. In this study, ethylene removal by an adsorptive method using cobalt-loaded nanoporous carbon is studied. Cobalt oxide-loaded carbon was prepared by incipient wetness method followed by calcination process at 200 °C under inert flow. Ethylene adsorption test was performed at 20, 30, and 40 °C using a static volumetric test. The results showed that cobalt oxide/carbon system has significant ethylene adsorption capacity up to 3.5 times higher compared to blank carbon. A higher temperature adsorption is more favorable for this chemisorption process. Ethylene uptake increases from 100 to 150 mL g-1adsorbent STP by increasing cobalt oxide loading on carbon from 10 to 30 wt.% Co. The highest uptake capacity of 6 mmol ethylene per gram adsorbent was obtained using 30 wt.% cobalt oxide. Therefore, ethylene adsorption by cobalt-loaded nanoporous carbon may represent a potential method in ethylene removal and it could serve as a basis for development of ethylene scavenging material.

Biodiesel is considered as a viable alternative to diesel fuels since it is renewable and eco-friendly. Edible oils account for majority of feedstock oils used in biodiesel production since their free fatty acids (FFA) levels are below 1%. However, these oils are expensive and compete with food demand. Low cost feedstock oils may be used but they must undergo a pre-treatment process (glycerolysis) to reduce their FFA content to less than 1%. Conventional glycerolysis requires long reaction times so microwave irradiation is used to speed up the process. Neem oil with an initial %FFA of 1.138% was used to determine the effect of microwave irradiation on different factors that would affect the FFA reduction. The following factors are investigated: reaction time (5 and 9 minutes), reaction temperature (100°C and 120°C), oil to glycerol molar ratio (1:1 and 1:2) and sulfuric acid catalyst concentration or loading (2% and 4.5%). This study reports that reaction temperature was the only significant factor on FFA reduction. A higher temperature resulted in a higher FFA reduction. The optimum factors achieved are: oil to glycerol molar ratio of 1:1, a catalyst loading of 2%, a time of 5.58 minutes and a reaction temperature of 120°C resulting in a 91.81% FFA reduction

This present research aims to compare the COD removal of palm oil mill effluent (POME) by electrocoagulation using iron and aluminum electrodes. Response surface method coupled Box-Behnken design is applicable to investigate the effect of various process parameters (voltage, operating time and electrolyte concentration) and optimum condition. The optimum condition by using iron electrode is in 43 minutes, 20 volts and 0.06 M NaCl with the COD removal of 95.045%. By using electrode aluminum, optimum condition is 40.35 minutes, 19 volts and 0.1 M NaCl with the COD removal of 89.941%. Energy consumption of iron electrode and aluminum electrode are 0.189 and 0.209 kWh/mg decomposed COD with energy costs of Rp. 255 and Rp. 282/mg decomposed COD. This indicates that energy and cost consumption of electrocoagulation by using Al electrode are higher than those by using iron electrode. Based on the investigation during research, iron electrode is better for reducing COD while the aluminum is better in removing color in POME.

Hydrogen production from bio-oil steam reforming plays an important role in the development of renewable hydrogen from biomass to produce the cleanest fuel. However, the existence of coke and low carbon conversion are problems that have been found in some studies. The purpose of this study was to reduce coke formation and to enhance carbon conversion by using core shell nanoparticle catalysts that could increase of surface area, support interaction and its catalytic activity for hydrogen production from bio-oil steam reforming of empty fruit bunch (EFB). Ni/CaO-γ-Al2O3@Ru core shells were prepared by CTAB/n-hexanol/n-hexane/water micro-emulsion system. The catalysts were characterized by means XRD, BET, FESEM-EDS and TEM. Bio-oil aqueous fraction was analyzed by using GC-MS. Carbon conversion and hydrogen yield by using Ni/CaO-γ-Al2O3@Ru core shell are resulted more 68.4 % and 18.6% than using Ni/CaO-γ-Al2O3 catalyst, respectively. The highest hydrogen yield by using Ni/CaO-γ-Al2O3@Ru core shell for steam reforming bio-oil is 5.6% in minute 10 with 0.07 g of coke deposit. The study concludes that the effect of Ni/CaO-γ-Al2O3@Ru core shell is more efficient in hydrogen production, carbon conversion and coke deposit compared to Ni/CaO-γ-Al2O3 catalyst

Future fuel scarcity issue has become major concern for many energy security policies. As a very potential process to produce fuel, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) with cobalt-based catalyst has been developed to produce wax as feedstock for further catalytic cracking. Therefore, this research was conducted to observe Co/Al2O3 catalyst properties enhancement through support pre-treatment using NH4NO3 and Cu promoter addition toward higher activity and selectivity. Catalysts were prepared by dry impregnation method. XRD, BET and TPR analyses were performed to characterize catalysts properties. Activity tests showed CO conversion, H2 conversion and selectivity of C5+ were in the range of 25.1% to 96.2%, 24.2% to 83.7% and 53.5% to 75.9% respectively. Crystallography measurements exhibited 8.6-9.8 nm cobalt particles size. In this study, FTS was evaluated by using fixed-bed reactor at 20 bar, 250 C, and WHSV of 1500 ml/g.cat/h-1. Support pre-treatment increased the pore size of γ-Al2O3 and slightly enlarged cobalt diameter. While addition of Cu improved the reducibility of the catalyst.

Biodiesel is the most common alternative fuel that can be used in diesel engines. Commercially 2% of coco methyl ester (CME) as biodiesel is blended with petroleum based diesel and is used as fuel. Exhaust emissions are improved using the biodiesel blends. This study is devoted to the engine performance test of diesel engine as affected by Mahogany Methyl Ester (MhME). The MhME was produced by extracting the oil of the mahogany seeds by solvent extraction using petroleum ether. Sulfuric acid catalyzed esterification and potassium hydroxide- catalyzed transesterification were used for the MhME production. The fuel properties of the B5 and B50 biodiesel blends were determined. The kinematic viscosities of B5 and B50 were reported as 3.21, and 3.63 mm2/sec, respectively. The engine performance test was done on a Gunt Hamburg CT 110 Four-Stroke Diesel Engine. Results showed that B5 MhME obtained the highest power and highest torque at full fuel load. For the fuel consumption, pure commercial diesel was observed to have the lowest at 2500 and at 2750 rpm. In addition, B50 MhME emits less CO2, CO, hydrocarbon and O2.
