Abstract

Preparation of cellulose acetate (CA) membranes with ultrafiltration process had be done by phase inversion using dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent. Poliethylene glycol (PEG) 1450 Da, as additive, was added with 10, 20, and 30% rasio of celluose acetate. The thin film of polymer solution was immersed on water bath coagulation at room temperature. The analysis of membrane morphology structure by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) JSM – 5310 LV, Jeol-Japan showed the asymetric of membrane. The addition of PEG can improve the performance of the membrane. In resulting flux is higher than membranes without PEG. Increasing of PEG/CA ratio resulted in the higher flux with lower of rejection. The higher fluxes of water, dextran, and BSA are 146, 114, and 96 L/m2hr with 52,938 and 75,716% rejection for dextran and BSA.Keywords: cellulose acetate membranes, polyethylene glycol, ultrafiltration

Abstract

Lubricating oil is classified as B3 waste (hazardous and toxic waste). In the lubricating oil consists of zinc waste which is very dangeraous for healt and environment. So that to handle lubricating oil is used the adsorption method using coconut shell as adsorbent. This study aims to determine the efficiency of zinc adsorption on lubricating oil with stirring speed, percent solvent, mesh size, and mass of adsorbent variation; to learn the equibilium equation of adsorpsion of Zn metal ion on the activated carbon of coconut shell charcoal using Freundlich and Langmuir equilibirium; and to calculate adsorbtion kinetic constanta using the pseudo first model or pseudo second order kinetics approach. Coconut shells was heated at a temperature of 300ᴼC for 1 hour for the driving process . Furthermore, charcoal was soaked in 25% HCl for 18 hours. After being neutralized to pH 7, the charcoal was activated for 3 hours at a temperature of 500ᴼC and stored in a closed place. Coconut shell adsorbent and H2SO4 solvent were put into a beaker glass containing 400 ml of lubricating oil and stirred for 2 hours, every 30 minutes intervals were taken 50 ml to destruction for 2 hours with 68% HNO3. The zinc concentration before and after adsorption were measured using AAS. This study uses the Langmuir isotherm and Freundlich Isotherm models. The greatest efficiency of zinc adsorption with solvent percent variation 0.5% is 95.0567% and 99.9375% in adsorbent mass variation of 10 gram.

Abstract

The improvement of laundry activity brought a negative effect on the environment because laundry wastewater have a high content pollutants such as phosphate, surfactants, mineral, nitrogen, COD and other components, so the treatment is needed before being discharged into terristorial water. Laundry wastewater treatment has been conducted by membrane technology. Preparation of cellulose diacetate  membranes with ultrafiltration process had be done by phase inversion using dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent. The filtration experiment showed that the highest membrane flux was 77,408 L/m2.h at TMP 3 bar. While the lowest flux at TMP 1 bar was 55.649 L/m2.h. Rejection of membrane ultrafiltration for parameters of COD, phosphate, and surfactant were 67%, 72%, and 63% respectively.Keywords: cellulose diacetate membranes, laundry wastewater, flux, rejection

Abstract

Abstract Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus L. Rendle) essential oil contains active compounds such as antioxidants and has the potential to be developed as a sunscreen. Nanoemulsion is a water and oil dispersion stabilized by a surfactant layer and has a particle size below 100 nm. This study described the formulation, characterization of citronella oil nanoemulsions, and determination of their activity as a sunscreen through the SPF values. The nanoemulsion formulation was made with 3 variations of oil concentration: F1 (1%), F2 (3%), and F3 (5%). The results of the organoleptic test were following the standards which were clear and no phase separation occurred. In addition, the pH value of the 1%, 3%, and 5% prepared nanoemulsions were categorized as safe to be used on the skin. The prepared formulas were categorized as O/W nanoemulsion types. The viscosity values were found to be 12.76, 25.13, and 84.05 cP respectively. Furthermore, the percent transmittance values were 98.4, 98.9, and 99.9%. The particle sizes, respectively, were 9.4 (100%), 10.07 (97%), and 8.96 nm (82.5%). The centrifugation and freeze-thaw cycle tests showed good physical stability. The results of the sunscreen potential test of the 1%, 3%, and 5% citronella oil nanoemulsion showed SPF values of 1.03, 1.13, and 1.14 with %Te values of 77.42, 70.21, and 67.86% respectively, and %Tp values of 95.94, 94.04, and 93.61% respectively. Keywords: Citronella essential oil (Cymbopogon nardus L.

Abstract

This research studied the characteristic of bed sediment in the estuary of Krueng Cut, Banda Aceh. Analyzing the field samples from different site of stations along the channel from upstream to estuary shows different pattern and profile of deposited bed sediment. Therefore, sorting the size of sediment is important spatially because pattern of its deposition and characteristic will illustrate how distribution patterns indicate the nature of the channel.  Hence, the study aims to determain the pattern of bed sediment distribution as well as its profile spatially. To implement the intended purpose, the coring method was employed by using purposive random sampling for 15 stations of taken sampling. The sample of sediment was proceeded by using a 2,5 cm diameter of PVC paralon at the depth of 25 cm from the bathymetry base. Sample was analyzed using wet sieve analysis method. The result informed that the dominant of bed sediment size are medium sand found around the mouth of the river, fine sand existed along the mixing area, and very fine sand occurred in the transition zone. Inthe region of coastal dynamic, the sediment was dominated by medium sand size, meanwhile in the area of river dominated flow, the sediment is subject to fine sand size.Thus, the fraction of very fine sand size of sediment was found in the zona of transition.

Abstract

The rapid development of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) production has led to an increase in the production of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) as well. POME will cause problems in the environment because contains high contaminants. This study aims to investigate the effect of the coagulant Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) variations and the membrane’s operating pressure on the POME treatment process using the nanofiltration membrane (NF) with the coagulation-flocculation process as pre-treatment. The PAC was used in the coagulation-flocculation process with variations in concentration (5.0; 5.5; 6.0; 6.5; 7.0 g/L). The process was completed by a rapid stirring of 200 rpm for 5 minutes, followed with slow stirring at 60 rpm for 15 minutes and settling time for 30 minutes. The process of membrane nanofiltration was carried out for 60 minutes with variations in operating pressure (8.0; 9.0; and 10 bars). In each treatment process, effluent quality testing was carried out with Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solid (TSS) and oil/fat as parameters. In addition, an analysis of permeate fluxes and rejection of NF membrane was also carried out. The results of the analysis suggested that the best coagulant doses are 6.0 g/L with the reduction percentage of BOD, COD, TSS and oil/fat at 78.85%; 68.57%; 92.77% and 92.31% respectively. The highest percentage of NF membrane rejection was found at a pressure of 10 bar, which is equal to 94.71%; 94.86%; 97.92% and 95% respectively for BOD, COD, TSS and oil/fat with a flux value of 7.16 L/m2.hours.

Abstract

Experimental and modeling studies have been conducted on a CO2 absorption in a cyclone scrubber operated at room temperature. The effects of parameters such as the initial concentration of alkali in the solution and the liquid – gas ratio on the CO2 absorbed flux were experimentally and theoretically investigated. A theoretical study has been performed using a mathematical model based on the absorption in the liquid droplet with instantaneous reaction, in the inlet duct of the cyclone and in the cyclone itself. The results from the model were compared with experimental data and showed satisfactory agreement.  Keywords: CO2 removal, mathematical model, wet cyclone scrubber
