Abstract

Abstract - Research on the effect of the use of HCl concentrations in the hydrolysis process of cellulose from medang wood (Neolitsea latifolia) on the characteristics of microcrystalline cellulose has been studied. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of HCl concentration on the characteristics of microcrystalline cellulose. The analysis carried out included yield, pH, color, functional group characterization using FTIR and crystallinity index using XRD. The hydrolysis process was carried out at 105 °C for 15 minutes with variations in HCl concentrations of 1.5 N, 2.5 N and 3.5 N. Based on the results of the research conducted, the results showed that the use of variations in the concentration of HCl in the hydrolysis process affected the yield, color, TCI (Total Crystallinity Index) value of FTIR data and crystallinity index of XRD data. The yield of microcrystalline cellulose produced from each variation of concentration was 64.41, 61.94 and 53.99. The color of microcrystalline cellulose is getting darker as the concentration of HCl is used. Based on FTIR data, the TCl value of microcrystalline cellulose from each variation of concentration was 0.861%, 0.907% and 0.976%. XRD data shows an increase in crystallinity index produced from each variation in concentration on microcrystalline cellulose amounted to 80.52%, 82.17% and 83.49%.

Abstract

Cassava bagasse is a solid tapioca industry waste that can be used as an energy source. In this study, cassava bagasse was pyrolyzed to produce bio-oil and studied the effect of Ni/NZA catalysts on yield, heating value and distribution of bio-oil products. The making of Ni/NZA catalyst starts with the process of activating natural zeolite to produce natural zeolite activated (NZA). Furthermore, impregnation of Ni metals in NZA with Ni levels 1, 2 and 3% w/w (Ni/NZA). The next step is calcination, oxidation and reduction. Cassava is peeled, shredded, washed, filtered and dried and then mashed and screened with a 60 and 80 mesh sieve to obtain cassava bagasse biomass with a size of -60+80 mesh. 50 grams of cassava bagasse with 500 ml silinap and 1.5 gram Ni/NZA catalyst are pyrolyzed at 320oC with nitrogen gas flow of 80 mL/min. Bio-oil products are analyzed by the heating value and distribution of the products. The yield of bio-oil obtained on pyrolysis using 0% Ni/NZA was 54.27% and pyrolysis using 2% Ni/NZA obtained the highest yield of 61.87%. The highest bio-oil heating value was obtained in pyrolysis using 0% Ni/NZA which is 46.78 MJ/kg and lower with increasing Ni levels in NZA. The results of GC-MS analysis of the bio-oil products showed that the use of 1% Ni/NZA catalyst significantly increased the percent area of several components i.e. 2,4,4-trimethy-l-1-Pentene, 2,5-dimethyl-2,4-Hexadiene, and 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-Pentene and decreases the percent area of some other components i.e. 1-bromo-3-methyl-Cyclohexane, 2-methyl-1-Propene,tetramer, 1-(1,1-dimethylethoxy)-3-methyl-Cyclohexene and 3-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-Cyclohexanone.

Abstract

The production costs of biodiesel based on vegetable oil is not economical, so it is difficult for biodiesel to compete with petrodiesel. Waste cooking oil can be used as a source of raw materials for biodiesel production. This research aims to produce biodiesel from waste cooking oil. The initial stage is to pretreatment of waste cooking oil. At this step, the waste cooking oil is filtered to separate impurities from the raw material. After that, it is heated to 100 oC to remove the water content. The second stage is transesterification. At this stage, the reaction time remains for one hour at a temperature of 65 oC. the product is centrifuged to separate the catalyst. The highest yield was obtained in the 12: 1 molar ratio variable and the amount of catalyst 3%, which was 0.922. Yield obtained ranged from 0.853-0.922. An increase in the molar ratio is significant enough to increase the amount of yield. However, increasing the amount of catalyst especially from 2% to 3% is not significant enough to increase biodiesel yield. The characteristics of biodiesel produced are in accordance with SNI Biodiesel, density 870 Kg / cm3, viscosity 4.25 cSt, flash point 170, and acid number 0.4 mg-KOH/g biodiesel.

Abstract

The pipeline network in the petroleum industry is very susceptible to corrosion.  Corrosion problems can cause losses that are not small financially.  Corrosion that occurs in underground pipes can be in the form of external corrosion on the outer surface of the pipe caused by acid content in the air or in the soil or internal corrosion inside the pipe caused by petroleum content in the form of water, carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S).  Corrosion causes the useful or service life of these pipes to be shorter than expected.  This study aims to measure the Remaining Service Life (RSL) of the petroleum distribution pipeline as an initial step of preventive action to avoid fatal consequences of corrosion problems.  In this study, ultrasonic testing was used as one of the Non Destructive Testing (NDT) methods to check the condition of the petroleum distribution pipe's wall.  In this study, it is found that the Remaining Service Life (RSL) of the pipeline under investigation is 25 years.

Abstract

Rice production in East Kalimantan is quite high. In the process of milling usually rice husk obtained is about 20-30% from grains weight produced. The quite potential amount of rice husk  has not yet widely utilized, even though rice husk contains pentosan which can be processed into furfural by hydrolysis method.  The purpose of this research is to develop one step hydrolysis technique of rice husk into furfural  with  microwaves assistance to obtain the optimum time which can produce maximum furfural. In  this research 50 grams of rice husk was added with 500 mL of H2SO4 1% as the catalyst. The mixture was then hydrolyzed using microwave-assisted method with a time variety of 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105 and 120  minutes.  The result of analysis by Gas Chromatography (GC) showed that the highest result of furfural was at 90 minutes with a yield of 2.923%.
