ABSTRACT Peat water is surface water that has a dark brown color caused by plant organic matter and high Fe metal so that it requires effective and efficient treatment so that it is suitable for use by the community. One alternative to reduce Fe metal and color in peat water is to use an adsorbent made from biocomposite Spent Bleaching Earth (SBE) and Spent Mushroom Substrate (SMS). The pu…
ABSTRACT The wastewater of tofu industry has a high content of organic materials, so it can cause environmental pollution. Based on the parameter test results of the wastewater of tofu industry studied, it is know that the content of COD (2644 mg/l) and BOD (698 mg/l) needs to be treatment before being discharged into the environment. An alternative to process the industrial wastewater is …
ABSTRACT Palm oil processing produces large amounts of liquid waste. Palm oil Mill Effluent (POME) contains high organic compounds such as COD, BOD and TSS values are so high that need processing necessary. a method that can be used is adsorption. In this study, the adsorbent used was Spent Mushroom Substrate (SMS)-Spent Bleaching Earth (SBE) biocomposite. SMS has potential as an adsorben…
peat water into clean water is using membrane technology. The membrane material is one of the most important factors that determine the performance of the membrane. This study uses a chitosan alginate composite membrane for peat water treatment located in Rimbo Panjang Village, Kampar. The chitosan used is derived from shrimp shell waste that has undergone a process of demineralization, de…
ABSTRACT Nata is a fermented food ingredient of Acetobacter xylinum bacteria which produces a gel sheet on the surface of the substrate in the form of cellulose. Acetobacter Xylinum can live in pineapple juice as a substrate and also in fruits that contain glucose and fiber. Pineapple is one of the leading commodities in the horticultural sub-sector with great potential in Indonesia. The p…

ABSTRACT The lead (Pb) is one heavy metal that is extremely harmful to human health and is a metal element that cannot be dissolved by natural processes. Adsorption is a technology for separating dissolved metal ions ini liquid waste which is easy to handle and very effective. One type of adsorben that has potential and is being developed is hydroxyapatite (Hap). The purpose of this study …
ABSTRACT Bleaching is an important process in pulp making in order to produce white pulp based on consumer criteria. D1 stage hold an important role in bleaching process as the final process to achieve desired brightness target. To achieve the target, there are some parameters need to be watched which are pH, temperature, and time in bleaching process. This observation had been held to stu…
ABSTRACT D0stage is important stage in bleasching process because first delignification happen in this stage, D0result will affect rest bleaching process also final pulp quality. In past several months there is increment on bleaching chemical consumprion in Fiberline#2, observation been held to study reason of bleaching chemical increment and the result we found there is some alteration on…
ABSTRACT Biomass Gasification converts biomass into gaseous fuels that can be used in conventional equipment such as boilers, engines and turbines or advanced equipment such as fuel cells for heat and electricity generation. Simulation of biomass gasification can be carried out with several approaches, one of which is a non-stoichiometric equilibrium model determined by minimizing Gibbs fr…
Since the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, people's movements have become limited which can affect mental health, one of which is psychological conditions, namely depression. Research on depression has been carried out using in vivo and in vitro methods, but in silico research on the active compound of nutmeg seed (Myristica fragrans) has never been done. The purpose of this study was to ob…
Depression is an emotional and mental disorder due to the catalytic activity of the MAO enzyme, causing an imbalance of neurotransmitters which is overcome by using antidepressants. Research on antidepressants in vivo has been carried out, but in silico on the active compound of Javanese chili (Piper longum BI) there has been no research to see the molecular interactions. The purpose of thi…
Pyrrosia longifolia is an epiphytic plant in the Polypodiaceae family. This species grows on large and old trees, typically on trunks, branches or twigs. P. longifolia study is still underreported, particullary its bioactivity, whereas secondary metabolite isolation and bioactivity as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic have been reported in other species such as P. petiolosa…
Stenochlaena palustris is one of the ferns that are often found in peat, and it has medicinal properties including fever, immunostimulant, diarrhea, and antiaging. According to a published paper, water extract from this species posses α-glucosidase inhibitor. However, the secondary metabolites underliying this activity has not yet been identified. Thus the objectives of this study were to …
Composite is a material that is formed from two or more combination materials with the result that it is resulted a composite material that has different mechanical and characteristic properties from the forming material. Hydroxyapatite is one that can be composited with chitosan as adsorbent dyes methylene blue and methyl orange. The purpose of this research is to conduct hydroxyapatite s…
Calcium oxide (CaO) is one of the most commonly used heterogeneous base catalysts in the biodiesel synthesis process. The high CaCO3 content in the blood clam shell can be used as a catalyst in the synthesis of biodiesel using crude palm oil (CPO). Biodiesel production using a KOH/CaO catalyst derived from blood clam shell. KOH/CaO catalyst was synthesized using the sol-gel method by mixing…
Biodiesel is an alternative fuel to overcome the problem of limited fossil fuel sources due to increasing use. Biodiesel is synthesized by transesterification of vegetable oil with alcohol and using a catalyst to speed up the reaction. In this study, biodiesel was synthesized using crude palm oil (CPO). The catalyst used was KOH/CaO catalyst derived from blood clamshells (CKD) calcined at 9…
Fossil fuels that are not environmentally friendly and their presence is increasingly spurring researchers to produce alternative fuels that are renewable and environmentally friendly, one of which is biodiesel. The biodiesel synthesis process is carried out using a transesterification reaction where the catalyst has an important role in this reaction. The catalyst used in this study was KO…
Palm fronds (PS) derived from oil palm plantation waste have been developed as activated carbon due to its abundant availability and contain cellulose and lignin. At the same time, liquid waste is also generated from palm oil processing factories. Color and turbidity are 2 parameters in palm oil mill effluent (LCPKS). This study aims to make activated carbon from PS through the carbonizatio…
Riau province has the largest oil palm plantation area in Indonesia. Oil palm plantations often produce waste, one of which is oil palm fronds. Utilization of oil palm fronds waste as activated carbon is a step to reduce the resulting palm oil plantation waste.
