Abstract

PT X processes crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) into products such as glycerin, fatty acid, and fatty alcohol. The purpose of this study was to determine the acid value of fatty acid using alkalimetry titration methods and gas chromatography and compare the values obtained with the PT X standard. The results showed that the AV 105 E21 and 105 E22 were following the PT X standard, with ranges respectively 355-365 mg KOH/gr and 268-275 mg KOH /gr. This indicates that the fatty acid samples produced can be sold to consumers.

Abstract

Metal doping plays important role in increasing catalytic activity of catalyst materials. In this work, Ca and K were doped to the γ-Al2O3 by dry impregnation method to study the crystallinity, surface area, activation energy, and yield in the coconut oil transesterification reaction. The success of doping was shown in the characterization of Ca/γ-Al2O3 and K/γ-Al2O­3 using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) which increasing in crystallinity from 62.2% (γ-Al2O3) to 69.3 (K/γ-Al2O3) and 76.0 (Ca/γ-Al2O3). The emerging peak of 2θ characteristics of K (29.70° and 32.65°) and Ca (25.35°, 26.77°, and 27.17°) on the γ-Al2O3 (37.66°, 45.82° and 67.22 °) was also observed. Characterization by the Surface Area Analyzer (SAA) shows that the K/γ-Al2O3 catalyst has a smaller surface area (34.03 m2/g) than Ca/γ-Al2O3 (83.77 m2/g), but a higher pore diameter (66.12 Å) than Ca/γ-Al2O3 (35.22 Å). The K/γ-Al2O­3 catalyst produced greater FAME yield (93.19%) than Ca/γ-Al2O3 (29.76%) at a catalyst concentration of 2.5%, reaction time 150 s, and ultrasonic frequency of 40 kHz. The quality of the FAME catalyzed by K/γ-Al2O­3 fulfills four test parameters: density, kinematic viscosity, flash point, and pour point according to SNI 04-7182-2006 standards.

Abstract

Styrofoam is a petroleum-based and synthetic polymer that is only used once. To reduce waste and environmental damage as well as health problems, this study aims to make biofoam from cassava peel and angsana leaves using a combination of extrusion and baking methods. In this study, glycerin and polyvinyl alcohol were also added with volume variations, 10: 30 (sample 1), 20 : 20 (sample 2), and 30: 10 (sample 3) mL to improve the physical properties of biofoam. The physical characteristics observed were color, water content using the gravimetric method, and water absorption capacity of ABNT NBR NM ISO 535. Sample 1 and sample 2 were lighter in color than sample 3. The lowest water content value was found in sample 2, while sample 2 was has the ability to absorb less water is sample 3.

Abstract

Fruits are perishable agro materials, so further processing is necessary after the fruit is harvest. Soursop is a fruit dessert with characteristics like ice cream. The purpose of this study was determined the appropriate compotition and agar powder in the manufacture of soursop velva so that a product with physical characteristics such as ice cream. The physical characteristics of soursop velva are total solid, water content, pH, vitamin C, fiber, total acid, melting speed and overrun.  The soursop velva research method with six treatments, A (0,4 % CMC added), B (0,5% CMC added), C (0,6% CMC added), D (0,4% agar powder added), E (0,5% agar powder added), F (0,6% agar powder added). Observation were made on the physico-chemical characteristics of soursop velva. The result shows that soursop Velva added with 0,6% agar powder content 24,79% total solid, 75,24% water content, pH 4,30 and 33, 84 mg/100 g material of vitamin C, 2,2% fiber, 2,2% total acid, with 19,69 minutes melting speed and 134,67% overrun.

Abstract

One of the first steps in processing river water into drinking water is by removing the turbidity of the river water. Turbidity can be removed by adding a chemical called a coagulant. This study aims to obtain data on how the effect of using coagulant dosage variations in reducing turbidity and iron content in raw water at the water treatment plant (IPA) PDAM X. The study was conducted using the jar test method to determine the dose of aluminum sulfate coagulant in reducing turbidity and colorimetric method using visible spectrophotometry to determine iron content that meets quality standard criteria. The results showed that the higher the coagulant dose, the lower the turbidity and iron content of the raw water. Coagulant doses with up to 30 ppm were able to reduce turbidity with an efficiency of 92.67% and reduce iron levels up 96.10%.
