ABSTRACT Used cooking oil is frying oil that contains carcinogenic compounds such as free fatty acids, peroxides and others. To utilize used cooking oil, researchers are interested in recycling used cooking oil by carrying out a purification process using wood charcoal powder as an adsorbent. After the purification process, the oil is used to make liquid bath soap. This study investigates the …
ABSTRACT Cellulose (C6H10O5)n is one of the long-chain polymers of polysaccharides prepared from saw-monomer β -glucose. Cellulose is the principal carbohydrate synthesized by plants and occupies almost 60% of the components of plant structure. The purpose of this study is to extract cellulose from the pineapple wastes semi-mechanical and obtain cellulose powder by the methods of delignificat…
Abstract Bread is a food product made from wheat flour mixed with bread yeast. The use of instant yeast is known to be practical and easy to obtain, but yeast intolerance is not uncommon. The use of natural yeast can be used as an alternative to overcome this problem. Natural yeast is one of the oldest biotechnology products that comes from mixing flour and fermented water containing lactic ac…
ABSTRACT Water and soil are generally susceptible to environmental pollution, one of the causes of pollution is the iron compound Fe2+. If the concentration of dissolved iron in the water exceeds the limit, it will cause problems such as pipes becoming corrosive. Fe metal contamination can be handled by the adsorption process using activated charcoal as an adsorbent. Cocoa rind contains high e…

ABSTRACT Eucalyptus leaf is one of the essential oil-producing ingredients. The purpose of this study was to study the effect of sample conditions (fresh leaves and dried leaves), whole leaves and chopped leaves, as well as the extraction time on the yield of essential oils extracted from hybrid eucalyptus leaves using the microwave hydrodistillation and gravity (MHG) method. The essential oil…
ABSTRACT Iron metal (Fe) is one of the heavy metals polluting waters originating from industrial waste. Fe metal contamination can be overcome by adsorption method using activated charcoal as adsorbent. The activated charcoal used is made from kepok banana peels, because kepok banana peels contain lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose as carbon forming so that kepok banana peels can be used as …

ABSTRACT One of the wastes produced by palm oil mills is liquid waste in the form of palm oil mill effluent (POME). Before being drained, waste needs to be treated so as not to pollute the environment. There are many POME processing methods, one of which is often used, namely the electrocoagulation method. The research was conducted at the Chemical Engineering Laboratory to process POME by the…
ABCTRACT Future deforestation and forest degradation are at high risk, especially in tropical countries. One of the efforts to maintain water balance in peatlands that is being promoted by the Government is the creation of canal partitions to prevent water from flowing rapidly downstream. This research made Cellular Lightweight Concrete (CLC) as a canal bulkhead which is a lightweight brick wh…
ABSTRACT Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is a compound that has a versatile reactivity. DMC is widely used in transformation chemical reactions such as methylation, carbonylation and methoxycarbonylation. Dimethyl carbonate is also an alternative additive that is considered capable of replacing conventional additives because DMC is more environmentally friendly than other additives. Formation of dime…
ABSTRACT Isobutyl Palmitate with the molecular formula C20H40O2 is an organic compound that belongs to the palmitic acid ester and can be used as a platicizer, solvent, and chemical flavour. Currently, Indonesia is still adopting isobutyl palmitate, because there is no obutyl palmitate factory in Indonesia. The Isobutyl Palmitat plant is planned to be built with a capacity of 10,000 tons/year …
ABSTRACT Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is a type of salt that dissolves easily in air and is hygroscopic, so that calcium chloride is widely used in industry. Calcium chloride as a dessicant, as a deicing agent and de-icing agent, as a source of calcium ions, as an additive in the food industry. The design of the calcium chloride manufacturing plant is planned to produce with a capacity of 200,000 …
ABSTRACT Dimethyl formamide is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH3)2HCON, which in general can be abbreviated as DMF. This compound is a colorless liquid that is miscible with water and most organic liquids. Dimethyl has the main function as a solvent with a low evaporation rate. Usually this solvent is used in the production process of acrylic fibers and plastics. Dmf can also …
ABSTRACT Geopolymer is a new type of adhesive used as a substitute for conventional cement. Geopolymer mortar is the result of the activation of alumina (Al203) and silica (SiO2) compounds in the precursor which is reacted with a high concentration of alkaline activator solution. The use of geopolymer mortar can reduce the high consumption of conventional cement usage so as to reduce CO2 gas e…
ABSTRACT Cement production produces emissions that are estimated to increase every year. Lately, portland cement has often been criticized with regard to greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide) emissions produced in cement production. This gas is released into the atmosphere freely and damages the environment. One alternative method that is appropriate and environmentally friendly is by making geopoly…
ABSTRACT Oil palm trunk is agricultural solid waste that has not been used optimally. Starch-free palm trunks can be used as an alternative raw material for pulp bleaching using the organosolv method and followed by a bleaching process using the TCF method. The purpose of this study was to produce pulp bleaching that took place by organosol and TCF, to determine the brightness and efficiency o…
ABSTRACT Honey not only contains sweeteners or food flavorings, but honey also contains very essential nutrients. Honey is produced by honey bees by utilizing plant flowers. In this study, the decrease in water content in honey used whiting as the adsorbent. This study aims to determine the ability of whiting as an adsorbent in reducing the water content of honey bee silang and determine the q…
