ABSTRACT Biomass is a fuel that can be used directly or processed first into solid, liquid or gas fuel through a certain process. Liquid smoke produced from the torrefaction process is a condensation liquid that comes from heating biomass without oxygen. The clarification of liquid smoke used as a food preservative must be carried out through a distillation and adsorption process first. The ob…

ABSTRACT Sodium Silicate is a raw material that is widely used as a filler in the detergent, soap and toothpaste industries. Sodium silicate can be synthesized from silica (SiO2), which can be obtained through an extraction process from materials containing silica such as sand, clear glass bottle waste and fly ash. In this study, the synthesis of sodium silicate was carried out using silic…
ABSTRACT The increasing contamination of heavy metals in water bodies due to industrial activities demands the development of effective and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment methods. This study aims to determine the effect of bed height and flow rate on the adsorption process of iron (Fe²⁺) ions using activated carbon adsorbent derived from bamboo stems and activated with a …
