ABSTRACT Acetic acid is a hygroscopic carboxylic compound that is colorless, and has a very sharp aroma and is corrosive to metals and tissues. Some alternative acetic acid names are ethanoic acid, ethyl acid, methanakarboxylic acid, or vinegar acid. Acetic acid has the structural formula C2H4O2, but it is commonly written as CH3COOH and has a molecular weight of 60.05 g/mol. The uses for acet…
ABSTRACT Adipic acid is commonly used in the textile and plastic industries. The purpose of the Adipic Acid Plant is to meet the domestic demand for adipic acid and minimize the import of adipic acid, create new jobs, and encourage the establishment of new factories that use adipic acid as raw material. Adipic acid is produced through an oxidation process with the main raw materials being …

In the industry, butanediol is used as an organic solvent and as an intermediate in the manufacturing of several types of plastics and synthetic fibers. The butanediol plant is planned to be operational in 2030. To meet the demand for butanediol, a plant with a capacity of 30,000 tons …
Acrylic acid is an important chemical in the industrial world because acrylic acid is an intermediate chemical that is widely used in industrial production processes and consumer products. Acrylic acid is mainly used as a raw material in the manufacture of acrylic esters, as a monomer for polyacrylic acid and its salts, as a comonomer for use as a flocculent and ion exchange resin polymer. The …
Based on the amount of waste generated in Pekanbaru City per day reaching 1,011.01 tons, for the composition based on its type, plastic waste is around 10%. Plastic waste is a waste problem that is difficult to overcome. Plastic waste partly comes from plastic bottles. One way to utilize plastic bottle waste is as a material for making paving blocks. This study aims to analyze the use of PET on…
Hospital wastewater is one of the sources of pollutants that can endanger environmental and public health due to the presence of toxic substances and compounds in it. Therefore, it is necessary for hospitals to build Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) considering the adverse effects caused by the wastewater. This study aims to evaluate and redesign the WWTP at Hospital X in Pekanbaru City, adh…
Furnace charcoal is a by-product produced by sago starch processing plants that has not been optimally utilized.
