In the global market, the consumption rate of acrylic acid is expected to reach more than 8,000 kilo tons in 2020. The high demand for acrylic acid is possibly due to the use of this product f…
ABSTRACT Water is a basic need for life. River water is a source of raw water that needs to be processed so that the quality meets standards for use as sanitation or as drinking water. One alternative for water purification can be done using natural coagulants made from moringa seed powder. This study aims to study the effect of adding Moringa seed powder and the length of settling time in the…
ABSTRACT Kerosene is the fuel used in stoves, but the price of kerosene is very expensive. Based on the above, a mixture of used cooking oil with pertalite can be used as an alternative to kerosene fuel. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in the mixture between used cooking oil and pertalite (9:1, 8:2 and 5:5) on the color of the flame and the time needed to boil 1 liter of …
ABSTRACT The process of pyrolysis of plastic waste is a process of decomposing organic compounds contained in plastic through a heating process with little or no oxygen involved. In the pyrolysis process, long chain hydrocarbon compounds found in plastics are expected to be converted into shorter hydrocarbon compounds and can be used as alternative fuels. This study aims to process polypropyle…

ABSTRACT Spray hand sanitizer is a practical anti-germicidal spray preparation form in the form of an antiseptic liquid, its use by spraying it on the palms of the hands, then applying it evenly to the surface of the hands. The purpose of this study was to determine the functional groups of flavonoid compounds from pineapple peel viscous extract by performing FTIR spectroscopy testing and …
ABSTRACT Indonesia has many companies or home industries that process tea. This condition has the potential to produce solid waste in the form of tea waste in relatively large quantities. So far, tea waste is only fermented into fertilizer and the rest is simply thrown away, so further processing is needed to become a product that has economic value. Tea waste can be processed into environmenta…

Due to the increasing demand for mono- and diglycerides (MDG) as emulsifier in food industries has led to further research on their kinetic studies in order to investigate for more efficient process prior to energy consumption as well as producing high conversion and MDG product purities. Conventional MDG production by glycerolysis of fatty acids can be carried out in the presence of homog…
ABSTRACT Butanol is one of the chemicals whose needs continue to increase for industry. Butanol with the chemical formula C4H10O is required for industrial needs as a solvent or organic synthesis. Butanol is an intermediate material used as raw material for downstream industries in the textile, polymer, plastic, paint, surface coating and pharmaceutical industries. The level of butanol consump…
ABSTRACT Aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3) is one of the chemicals that is needed in various industries, especially in water treatment processes. The establishment of an aluminum sulfate factory with a capacity of 12,500 tons/year in Pontianak, West Kalimantan is one of the efforts to meet the needs of chemical factories for aluminum sulfate and also to meet the export needs of aluminum sulfate in …
ABSTRACT Acrylonitrile is a chemical that has many uses. In the industrial sector, acrylonitrile is known as an intermediate used in the manufacture of polymers such as thermoplastic acrylic fibers (Acrylonitrile Butadiene and Styrene), NBR (Nitrile Barrier Resins), synthetic rubber and aponitrile. The production of acrylonitrile can be done by several processes, one of which is the sohio proc…
ABSTRACT Indonesia is one of the countries that continues to encourage the growth of the domestic chemical industry so that it becomes a driving sector for the national economy. One of the important chemical industries is the urea formaldehyde industry. This is because based on a report published by Fior Markets, the global urea formaldehyde market is expected to grow from USD 6,3 billion in 2…
