Activated charcoal of palm shell that activated with NaOH can be used as an adsorbent of heavy metal ions with quite high adsorption efficiency. In this research, i want to know the value of adsorption to a mixture of Zn2+ metal ions and Cr3+ metal ions. Activation using NaOH in this study aims to remove lignin levels from palm shells, also to expand porosity and increase active sites on palm s…
Palm kernel shell charcoal (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) has potential as a heavy metal adsorbent, but its adsorption efficiency is relatively low. To increase the adsorption capacity of palm kernel shell charcoal on an adsorbate such as metal ions, activation of palm kernel shell charcoal with NaOH is one of the efforts. Adsorption competition between Pb (II) and Cu (II) metal ion in the mixture i…
Palm kernel shells (Elaeis Guineensis Jacq.) are one of the palm oil wastes that have benefits, such as activated carbon for the adsorption of heavy metals. The cellulose contained in palm kernel shells plays an important role in carbon source the adsorption of heavy metals, the effectiveness of which can be increased through the activation process. Activation in this research using a base acti…
The leban plant (Vitex pubescens Vahl) is a medicinal plant from the Vitex genus and the Lamiaceae family, a plant from the Vitex genus with the widest distribution in Indonesia. Leban contains several groups of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids and tannins, making Leban plants have potential as a source of antibacterial compounds. Endophytic fungi are mitosporic and m…
White jabon fruit powder (Anthocephalus cadamba Miq.) activated with NaOH and combined with humic acid from peat water has been investigated for its ability to be used as a biosorbent due to the large surface area and many functional groups contained in humic acid and jabon fruit which is used as a solid supporting humic acid. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum biosorbent do…
Crude Palm Oil (CPO) as a raw material for the synthesis of biodiesel has a high content of free fatty acid, when reacted with the catalyst CaO of the clam shell that is a strong base will form an emulsion and CaO also has a small surface area that requires modification. Therefore, added porous silica material from the coconut fiber can improve the acidity and surface area of the catalyst. The …
Davallia denticulata, a member of the Davalliaceae genus, is an epiphytic plant that flourishes on host plants. Several species in this genus have been documented to contain antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer characteristic. The objective of this study was to isolate secondary metabolites from the chloroform extract of D. denticulata and evaluate the antifungal properties of the extract…
Acetic acid is a widely used raw material in the chemical industry, both in the production of cellulose acetate, ethyl acetate, acetic anhydride, and in the textile industry. The demand for acetic acid in Indonesia has not been met by local producers, thus necessitating imports from abroad. This is due to the limited number of acetic acid plants in the country. Seeing the increasing demand for …
Sago bark is biomass waste produced from the sago processing which not been utilized optimally. The lignin content in sago bark is quite high, around 32.29%, which has the potential to be used as biomass pellets. The water content and calorific value of sago bark pellets still do not meet standards, through the torrefaction process the quality and quality of the pellets can be improved. This re…
Isopropyl alcohol (C3H7OH) is a colorless, volatile and flammable liquid. Isopropyl alcohol has various uses, both as a final product and intermediate. Some examples of isopropyl alcohol as a final product are: as a solvent, the manufacture of chemicals in agriculture, additives in medicines, and antiseptic ingredients. As an intermediate product, isopropyl alcohol is used for the production of…
Vinyl acetate is an intermediate material that has an influence on the chemical industry in Indonesia with the molecular formula CH3CO2CH=CH2 which is one of the raw materials for the polymer industry with a stable condition or not easily decomposed. Vinyl acetate is widely used to produce other chemicals, such as polyvinyl acetate which is widely used in producing synthetic plastics, the paint…
Acetic acid, also known as vinegar, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH3COOH, which is a colorless liquid with a very sharp odor. Acetic acid plays a role as a basic chemical used in various industries as an intermediate compound that serves as raw material for various industries. Acetic acid is produced either synthetically or through bacterial fermentation. Fermentation-based…
A study on the feasibility of constructing a furfural plant is necessary to assess the viability of establishing such a facility. This feasibility study aims to analyze the investment feasibility of building a furfural plant based on technical, institutional, market, environmental, managerial, and legal aspects; to analyze the financial feasibility of constructing the plant; to assess the sensi…
Ethylene dichloride or 1,2-dichloroethane with the molecular formula C2H4Cl2 is a reactive and highly toxic organic compound characterized by a clear, oil-like liquid with a chloroform-like odor. The high demand for EDC (ethylene dichloride) in Indonesia is still met through imports from several countries such as China, the United States, Germany, Korea, and Qatar.
