Abstract

ABSTRACT. In water scarce countries such as Eritrea, maintaining brewery industry remain ever challenging task. Currently, Asmara breweries is the only beer producing factory consuming 8.46 L of water per every L of beer produced which is notably higher than Brewer’s Association (BA) benchmark and consequently generates 7.53 L of wastewater/L of beer. Bottle cleaning and brewery activities ascertain ample effluent bases. Wastewater from bottle cleaning (BCWW), brewery (BWW) and mixed (MWW) have attributed a wide spectrum of 3500-160000 mg/L of COD and 327-26667 mg/L of BOD5, which are significantly overtops other reported brewery effluents. Physicochemical treatments including coagulation with conventional (alum) and natural (MO seed) flocculants have tested to remove higher COD and BOD5 concentrations of brewery effluents. Optimal coagulant dosage determined by accounting turbidity as a key performance indicator. Alum treatment of BCWW and MO seed flocculation of MWW have resulted in lower turbidity levels of 0.49 and 6.17 NTU at 60 mg/L of dosages respectively. The optimal quantities of 92.2 % and 86.6% (by weight) of water recovered from alum treatment of BCWW and MO seed coagulation of MWW respectively. Higher sludge volumes recorded as a major disadvantage in alum coagulation whereas natural coagulant, MO seed manifested competitive results in removal of COD, BOD5, Chlorine, Nitrogen, Sulphate, Sodium, TDS and TSS along with PH stabilization. In addition, 97.2% of influent turbidity removed through MO seed coagulation treatment, an equipollent to alum despite of four fold increment in potassium levels.Keywords: Brewery Wastewater Coagulation Alum Moringa Oliefera Effluent Treatment

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Fecal sludge can be treated by conventional treatment such as pond stabilization which is commonly used to reduce organic concentrations. However, nutrients such as NH3 are still widely measured in the effluent. One of the sewerage treatments in the city of Jakarta, for example, experienced this condition. This study aims to design an appropriate technology to increase the efficiency of nutrient ammonia and total suspended solid (TSS) removal at Duri X IPLT. The unit added in the selected effluent treatment is Granular Activated Carbon (GAC). Design considerations are the characteristics of activated carbon, operating conditions (discharge and contact time), and operating mode (fixed-, expanded-, or fluidized-bed, pumped, or gravity flow). The Carbon Usage Rate for removing ammonia and TSS is 1.384 g/L and 0.378 g/L, respectively. Maintenance is required so that the granular activated carbon (GAC) unit can continue operating and functioning properly. Blockages in carbon transport pipes can occur in many pipes. This can occur due to a too-small pipe, a short bend radius of the pipe, a lack of speed, and a lack of cleaning of the pipe. The eroded pipe is also a common problem that often occurs in unlined mild steel and fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), usually in sharp bends.Keywords: Sewerage, ammonia, TSS, design, GAC

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Over the past decade, lead halide perovskite light absorbers have been the conventionally used perovskite light absorbers. However, there is an urgent call for alternative perovskite materials with toxicity levels and poor stability to UV radiations. Antimony-based perovskites have proven to be a material with unique optoelectronic properties, conventional fabrication processes, low-toxicity levels and high stability values. In this review, we look into the structure of antimony perovskites, the various research achievements over recent years, and the challenges and opportunities ahead for this budding technology. The review also highlights the various computational, theoretical and experimental studies done by researchers to highlight the peculiar Lead-free perovskite materials and their distinctive features. Although the efficiency levels of these devices are not very high, the improvements they have made with remarkable stability characteristics make them a viable candidate for commercial perovskite photovoltaics.Keywords: Perovskite Solar Cells, Photovoltaic Technology, Leadfree Perovskites, Solar Cell Materials, Antimony-based Perovskites

The growth of the palm oil mill industry still has quite potential in Indonesia, but the study of by-products produced by palm oil mills is immobile and not managed optimally. The use of fly ash as one of the by-products urgently necessities to be developed. Silica is a constituent composition of palm oil fly ash that is in great demand today because it has potential applications in various purposes such as sewage treatment, semiconductor materials, and agricultural additives. Research on silica processing from ash from the combustion process is inseparable from the extraction method which is highly dependent on the characteristics of silica solubility to the solvent. This study aims to provide information on the characteristics of silica solubility derived from palm oil mill fly ash in a solution in the form of strong bases (NaOH) and weak acids (C6H8O7). The solubility activity of silica in acidic and alkaline solvents is carried out by varying the solvent concentration of 1 M, 2 M, and 3 M. Silica dissolution process is carried out at a temperature of 60oC within 60 minutes. Fly ash characterization was carried out using XRD, XRF, and SEM instruments which showed that the main constituent compounds of fly ash were CaO 68.894% and SiO2 19.189% contained in calcite, portlandite, and quartz minerals with heterogeneous morphology with particle size between 200 μm – 300 μm. The dissolution results showed that the highest silica solubility was obtained in a 2 M citric acid solvent, which was 26.35%.Keywords: Solubility, Silica, Weak Acid, Strong Base, NaOH, (C6H8O7)

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The growth of the packaged beverages market in Indonesia is overgrowing. One sector of packaged beverages is carbonated beverages and bottled water. The main problem with packaged beverages containing dissolved gases is maintaining product quality during shelf life. Packaging materials and packaging lids cause a decrease in dissolved gas levels in beverages. Therefore, this study aims to analyze leaks in polyethylene terephthalate and glass bottles so that can use them to estimate the shelf life of the product. This study uses water, 3 types of glass bottles, and 1 type of plastic bottle. Bottles filled with water with various filling volumes of 40%v/v, 60%v/v, and 80%v/v were then analyzed for bottle leakage for 8 days. The results showed that effectively used a glass bottle with a volume of 250mL filled with more than 80%v/v, this was because it had the least leakage rate compared to others. In addition, this bottle has an attractive visual, easy labeling, and the size is not too large (ergonomic).Keywords: Glass bottle, plastic bottle, leakage test, shelf life

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Hydrogels are widely used for drug delivery systems, immuno-chemotherapy applications, efficient use of water, preventing dry soil, and increasing soil infiltration. Generally, hydrogels are derived from synthetic polymers which is non-biodegradable and toxic. Cassava bagasse is an alternative cellulose to make hydrogels. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of the amount of acrylamide and potassium peroxodisulphate (KPS) initiator on the quality of bead gel based on cassava bagasse-carrageenan. Chemical structure of the hydrogel was studied using FTIR spectroscopy. Cassava bagasse was immersed in a solution of n-hexane to separate the fat. Then, fat-free cassava bagasse was grafted with mass ratios of cassava and acrylamide 1:5, 1:10, and 1:15 in 110 mL water. The solution was added with a KPS initiator with weight variations (g) 0.04; 0.08; 0.12 then stirred 15 min. The solution was put in the microwave with 630 watts of irradiation for 450 s with the cooling cycle temperature maintained at 65-70oC. The aqueous of grafted polymer and carrageenan was injected into beaker glass that contained 1 cm of palm oil and mixture of 0.2 M CaCl2 and 0.2 M KCl in an ice bath. Results showed that the highest average swelling capacity was found in the bead gel variation 1:15 with the number of initiators 0.04 g of 1797.95% at a time of 210 minutes of immersion. From FTIR spectrum, it was found that there was a success in grafting acrylamide into bagasse’s backbone using the microwave grafting method with KPS as initiator.Keywords: Acrylamide, Bead Gel, Cassava Bagasse, Grafting Microwave, Potassium Peroxodisulphate
