Palm frond biomass derived from oil palm plantation waste has been developed as biochar because of its abundant availability and high cellulose and hemicellulose content. This study aims to obtain biochar with optimum pyrolysis temperature that can adsorb methylene blue dye. Palm frond biochar (BPS) was synthesized from palm frond biomass by pyrolysis at temperature variations of 500, 600 and 7…
Hydrogel is a three-dimensional network structure composed of hydrophilic polymer chains cross-linked through physical, chemical, or polymerization processes. Hydrogel can be synthesized from a natural polymer, cellulose, derived from the bark of the sago palm (Metroxylon sagu). Cellulose was isolated from sago palm bark through delignification and bleaching processes. Cellulose needs to underg…
Water apple mistletoe (Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.) Miq.) is a plant from the Loranthaceae family which has been proven as a medicinal plant. This study aimed to isolate and characterize secondary metabolites from n-hexane extract of D. pentandra and to test the toxicity using the brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT) method. The sample was macerated using methanol as solvent, then …

The composition of compounds in waste there are SiO2, Al2O3 and CaO which are important components of construction materials. The method used in this study is burning. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of adding solid waste pulp green liquor dregs and sla…
Durian seeds contain protein and starch which function as coagulant agents. This research aims to make durian seed biocoagulant using dry mill (PK) and wet mill (PB) to remove turbidity, TSS, TDS, phosphate and COD from water samples. The biocoagulant was characterized using FTIR, water content and ash content gravimetrically, protein content using the Lowry method, starch content using the Luf…
Infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms are increasing, resulting in increasing cases of antibiotic resistance. So this has become an important focus for researchers to find new candidate compounds that have antibacterial and antioxidant activity. One of the fungi isolated from local Riau is Penicillium sp. LBKURCC34 and Trichoderma spp. LBKURCC1 and LBKURCC2. These fungi produce seconda…
ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are oxide nanoparticles that act as antibacterial. ZnO NPs was provided by green synthesis method using bay leaf extract with zinc acetate precursors, aimed at producing more environmentally friendly nanoparticles by reducing the use of chemicals. Bay leaves were a source of flavonoid and phenolic organic compounds that act as stabilizing agents. ... (ABSTRAK TIDAK …
ABSTRACT Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, low-viscosity organic compound that makes the liquid hygroscopic. Ethylene glycol is used to add fiber to polyester, PET containers, antifreeze and coolant to engines in all weather conditions. In Indonesia, there are not many ethylene glycol factories or producers so that imports are made to meet the needs. Therefore, ethylene glycol processi…
ABSTRACT Acetaldehyde is an aldehyde compound with the chemical formula CH3CHO or known as Methyl-CHO (MeCHO) is an intermediate in the manufacture of other organic chemical compounds, for example: acetic acid, acetic anhydride, ethyl acetate, n-butyl alcohol and so on. This design aims to meet domestic acetaldehyde needs, reduce acetaldehyde imports, open new jobs, and encourage the establish…
ABSTRACT Terephthalic acid is an organic compound commonly used as a raw material in the production of polyester terephthalate, polyester filament yarns, and also in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

ABSTRACT Indonesia has exported ten shipments of acetophenone through three suppliers to various countries, including China, Japan, and Singapore. However, Indonesia still imports acetophenone from several countries due to insufficient domestic supply. This situation presents a significant opportunity to establish a local plant to meet domestic demand and compete with international producers f…
ABSTRACT Hydrogen (H2) is the first and lightest element in the periodic table and the most abundant in the universe. When used as fuel, hydrogen has the highest energy content, the lowest volume density, and the lowest buoyancy. Green hydrogen is considered more effective because it does not produce emissions (zero emission). Moreover, using renewable energy sources can support sustainable pr…
ABSTRACT Ammonium Nitrate is a chemical that is often used as an explosive for coal mining, mineral mining, military explosives, and can also be used as fertilizer and anesthetic. Ammonium nitrate is formed from the neutralization reaction of ammonia and nitric acid using the UHDE process. Neutralization occurs in a bubble reactor. The ammonium nitrate output from the reactor flows into the …
ABSTRACT Propylene oxide is a compound used as a reaction intermediate in the production of polyether polyol, propylene glycol, ether glycol and ethylene glycol. Supply for propylene oxide in Indonesia is by importing from Germany, Singapore, Japan and China. Until now, no propylene oxide factory has been established in Indonesia. In order to meet the demand for propylene oxide, a propylen…
ABSTRACT Industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly due to increasing community needs. One industry that continues to increase is the chemical industry, such as the paint, ink, perfume and cosmetics industries. One of the compounds needed in this industry is ethyl acetate. Imports of ethyl acetate are relatively large, namely around 85,000 tons per year, so it is necessary to build an Ethyl Acet…
