ABSTRACT POME has a high COD, BOD, and TSS of 28.363 mg/L; 6.089 mg/L; and 6.337 mg/L. Untreated POME can damage aquatic ecosystems. The content of lignin and organic compounds in POME makes it difficult to biodegrade. To increase biodegradability, pretreatment with the ozonation process can be used. Ozonation uses ozone gas (O3) in the decomposition of lignin and organic compounds. Ozona…
ABSTRACT Spent Mushroom Substrate (SMS) or remaining mushroom media is agro-residue and the remaining mesillium fungus after harvesting mushroom. SMS has several types of polymers such as lignin, cellulose and hemiselulose degraded by mycelium due to the fungal growth process which is then converted into simpler molecules to use as biosorbent that can be used to set aside Cu metals. The p…
ABSTRACT Spent Bleaching Earth (SBE) is a solid waste produced from the bleaching industry of palm oil (CPO). In principle, SBE can be regenerated and reused as an adsorbent. This study aims to determine the efficiency and absorption capacity of SBE as an adsorbent in metal Cu2+ adsorption. The adsorption process was carried out by determining the optimum pH from variations 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, …

This st…
ABSTRACT HR. Soebrantas street is classified as a secondary arterial road that used to service and public distribution activities in the city. Traffic activity at this street will affect the amount of gas pollutant emissions generated from the vehicles. The purpose of this study is to estimate the distribution pattern of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions emitted from vehicles crossing HR. Soe…
ABSTRACT Kepok banana peel (Musa Acuminate) is easily to find in solid waste in Indonesia. One of the uses of the solid waste of Kepok banana peel is that it can be used as a natural coagulant in water treatment. In this study, Kepok banana peels were used as a natural coagulant in the coagulation process to remove Ferric content and color of peat water. Peat water was taken from Rimbo Pan…
ABSTRACT Petroleum contaminated soil processing can be done by adding biochar to the soil. Biochar can affect the microbial population and can act as an adsorbent in the soil, thereby increasing the efficiency of reducing TPH levels. Palm shell has the potential as a raw material for making biochar because it contains cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The purpose of this study was to c…
ABSTRACT Activated carbon is a material containing amorphous carbon which has an internal surface so that it has high adsorption. Activated carbon has the potential to be used as an adsorbent. This study aims to study the efficiency of adsorption of CO gas and particulates in motorcycle emissions by using activated carbon from rubber fruit shells. Activated carbon was prepared by carboniza…
ABSTRACT Soil contamination by heavy metals lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) is a form of pollution that is very dangerous for living things. The amount of Pb and Cd heavy metals in the soil that has exceeded the quality standard causes the environment to not be able to carry out cleaning itself, so an alternative processing must be carried out. One of them is the remediation method using biocha…
ABSTRACT Biochar has a large surface area, and a high capacity to absorb heavy metals and can potentially be used to reduce bioavailability and leach of heavy metals as well as organic pollutants in the soil through adsorption. This study aims to determine the effect of adding biochar from rice husks to removal of heavy metals Cd and Pb in contaminated soil. Biochar is made using a pyrolys…
ABSTRACT Adhesive glue is made by hydrolyzing starch to dextrin and then adding NaHCO3 and CH2O. Tapioca flour and cornstarch are easily found starches. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in the weight ratio of tapioca flour and cornstarch in the manufacture of adhesive glue and to determine the physical properties of adhesive glue (pH, moisture content, ash content, and…
ABSTRACT The part of the nipah plant that is widely used by the community is sap. Nipah sap contains high sucrose and is a very applicable material to be processed into nata products. In making nata de nipah, the fermentation process affects the characteristics of the nata produced. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of bean sprouts extract and mass sugar (50 gr, 75 gr, 100 gr…

This study aims to determine the effect of variations in the weight ratio of tapioca flour and cornstarch in the manufacture of adhesive glue and to determine the physical properties of adhesive glue (pH, moisture content, ash content, and…
ABSTRACT Palm kernel meal (BIS) is a side product of the processing of palm kernel into palm kernel oil. Palm kernel meal contains cellulose, hemisellulose and lignin. Palm kernel cake contains cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin which can be used as animal feed by fermentation. The objectives to be achieved in this research are the manufacture of animal feed from palm kernel meal and anal…
ABSTRACT Jackfruit or Artocarpus heterophyllus is one of the national fruit plants that grows well in equatorial and subtropical areas. Jackfruit seed flour can be used as an alternative to flour or as a substitute for flour. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of soaking time variations using Ca(OH)2 solution, and to analyze the characteristics of the resulting jackfruit…
ABSTRACT The mixture of cooking oil and premium has not been widely utilized as a fuel for rose stoves. So far, a vast majority of people use kerosene in rose stoves, however the cost is very expensive. The purpose of this research was to find the alternative fuels in order to replace kerosene for rose stoves. To obtain the best fuel performance, the ratio used cooking oil and premium mixt…
ABSTRACT Aromatherapy candles are an alternative application for inhalation, namely the inhalation of aromatic vapors produced from a few drops of essential oil. The aroma used is coffee essential oil obtained from maceration extraction of Liberika coffee beans with a yield of 19.7 ml and a yield of 2.9% -3.12%. This study aims to see the color, assess the aroma of candles before burning, …
ABSTRACT Extraction is a process of separating a substance based on differences in its solubility in two different insoluble liquids, usually water and the other as an organic solvent. The basic material used in the extraction process this time is betel nut. The extraction process used is soxhletation extraction, which is the process of separating a component contained in a solid by repeat…
ABSTRACT Taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) is one of the tubers that are widely grown in Indonesia. Taro tubers are usually used as food. To increase the quality value of taro tubers, processing the taro tubers into flour by drying.
