The biomarker is a chemical indicator of organic material sources that can be used as an indicator of the depositional enviroment, correlation of oil and the origin of oil sources. Bakau and Beruk Oil is one of the newly discovered oil fields located in the Selat Panjang Block, Riau. Petroleum samples from Bakau and Beruk were fractionated using the chromatography column into an aromat fraction…
Petroleum is a natural enrgy source that requires a long time to form. Petroleum derived from source rocks requires hundreds of millions of years to from petroleum, but the use of petroleum in indonesia is increasing every year, while the amount of oil production in indonesia is decreasing in number of production each year. Therefore it is necessary to explore in the search for new and producti…
Vittaria elongata Sw ferns is one of the fern plants known as ahaka fern area wich is widely distributed in kampar and pelalawan, Riau Province. Ahaka fern is often found in palm trees and wetlands and then less sun. This plant has been is reported to have a high toxicity value in its ethanol extract in previous research. This plant is used by Indians to treat pain in the knee. The purpose of t…
Pyridazinone is a heterocyclic dinitrogen compound with one carbonyl which is known to have diverse biological activities such as anticonvulsant, analgesic, anti inflammatory, anti microbial, and anti hypertension. The pyridazinone 6-(4-chlorophenyl)pyridazin-3(2H)-one synthesized with 4-chloro acetophenone, glyoxylic acid and hydrazine hydrate by sealed-vessel reactor method. The purity of the…
Ketapang tree (Terminalia catappa) that has a plant often found in the Riau University and ketapang tree is one of the plant in the Riau University concept of "Kampus dalam Taman". Ketapang seed shells are part of the ketapang fruit which has undergone a long degradation process due to its high lignin content. Therefore, the lignin content and other carbon sources in the Ketapang Seed Shell (CB…
Synthetic zeolite is an porous material that has physical and chemical properties similar to natural zeolite and more widely used on an industrial scale because it has a high level of crystal purity and uniform particle size. However, the use of zeolite has resulted in the increasing price of synthetic raw materials so that natural raw materials are used as an alternative in the manufacture of …
The world energy crisis and global warming were big problems nowadays. Biodiesel is a diesel engine fuel produced from renewable materials and consists of alkyl esters of fatty acids. Conventional biodiesel produced in two step of reaction, transesterification of triglycerides and esterification of free fatty acids (FFA) contained in oil with alcohol. In this study, biodiesel was synthesized t…
