Pemanfaatan Serat Buah Kelapa Sawit Menjadi Bioetanol Dengan Variabel Konsentrasi H2so4 Pada Proses Hidrolisis
ABSTRACT
Indonesia is a country with a growing human population, causing the need of energy
also increases. Bioethanol has been widely used in transportation as a fuel that is
increasingly reduced. Palm fruit fiber has a high enough potential to be developed into
an alternative energy source, namely bioethanol because of its high lignocellulosic
content. The purpose of this study was to determine the composition of sulfuric acid in
the hydrolysis process, determine the initial sugar composition of the bioethanol
produced, and determine the optimal processing time for the formation of bioethanol
in the Hydrolysis and Separate Fermentation (SHF) method. The stages in this study
were the hydrolysis of palm fruit fiber using H2SO4 with variations of 1M, 2M, 3M for
3 hours at 100 oC. The fermentation process is carried out with variations in time for
24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours and 120 hours. The results showed that in the
hydrolysis process the optimum H2SO4 concentration of 3M produced a sugar
concentration of 87.83 gr/L. The fermentation process obtained an optimal
fermentation time of 96 hours with a bioethanol concentration of 31.57 g / L. The
greater the initial concentration and the longer time fermentation, the more bioethanol
is obtained at optimal times.
Keywords: Bioethanol, fermentation, hydrolysis, palm fruit fiber.
