ABSTRACT Aluminum sulfate [Al2(SO4)3] is one of the chemicals that indispensable in various industries. Aluminum sulfate is produced by the Dorr process which reacts materials that contains Al2O3 and 77% sulfuric acid with barium sulfate (BaS) as catalyst in a CSTR reactor at 110°C and 1 atm pressure with 78-100% conversions. From the reactor then fed to the evaporator, crystallizer, centrifu…
ABSTRACT Isobutyl palmitate (C20H40O2) known as hexadecanoic acid 2-methyl propyl ester is an organic compound which is a colorless liquid at room temperature, soluble in alcohol and ether, but insoluble in water. Isobutyl palmitate has the main function as a solvent and plasticizer. Currently, Indonesia is still importing isobutyl palmitate, due to the absence of isobutyl palmitate plant in I…
ABSTRACT Butanol is a chemical that can be used in the chemical industry. Butanol (C4H10O) is used as a solvent or organic synthesis in industries such as textiles, plastics, polymers, paints and pharmaceuticals. The main raw materials used for the manufacture of Butanol are Butyl Butyrate and Hydrogen with the Hydrogenation process. The Butanol factory is planned to be built with a capacity o…
ABSTRACT The development of the textile industry is quite rapid in Indonesia, the rapid development of this industry will also be accompanied by increasing pollution. One of the dyestuffs that are often used in the textile industry is Rhodamine-B dyestuff, Rhodamine-B compounds have water-soluble properties However, this compound is dangerous if it is directly exposed to the skin, eyes or dige…
Abstract Biogas is a renewable energy source, which can be produced from organic waste, such a palm oil mill effluent (POME), through an anaerobic fermentation process. The main components of biogas are Methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). In addition there are other gases in relatively small amounts, namely nitrogen (N2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) hydrogen (H2) and water vapor (H2O). To avoid …
ABSTRACT Industry is a sector that have an important role in the Indonesian economy. One of them is Textile and Textile Products (TPT) industry which has increased from year to year. This raises concerns about the amount of waste produced, like RB which is a complex organic waste and is difficult to be degraded by the environment. Semiconductor photo-fenton is an effective waste treatment meth…
ABSTRACT The characteristics of rubber foam are influenced by various parameters, including tensile strenght and density. The purpose of this study was to make and determine the characteristics of foam rubber products based on natural rubber latex with coconut fiber filler. The manufacture of rubber foam is carried out in several stages, namely the process of making latex and mixing of additiv…

ABSTRACT One materials that has potential for bone implants and has a resemblance to the original bone is a 3D bone replica made from porous hydroxyapatitite (HAp). Stacrh Consolidation is one of the methods for making bone replica based on HAp. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of variations in the addition of wheat flour to the characteristics of porous HAp. This research…
ABSTRACT Bone replicas are bones made to be used as implant models. One technique for making bone replicas was starch consolidation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of variations in the addition of cornstarch on the characteristics of the bone replicas produced. This research was conducted by mixing 20 grams of HAp with the addition of 8 grams, 10 grams and 12 grams o…
