ABSTRACT Acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO) is a highly important intermediate chemical, commonly used as a raw material for producing lactic acid, ethyl acetate, pentaerythritol, n-butanol, and various other chemical derivatives. The demand for acetaldehyde in Indonesia is currently still met through imports. Data from the Central Statistics Agency shows a significant increase in import volume between 20…
ABSTRACT Betaine surfactant, widely used as a co-agent in various chemical products, is primarily applied in the formulation of personal care items, classifying it as a bio-resource. Indonesia’s domestic surfactant production currently stands at 70,000 tons per year, which remains insufficient to meet national demand. Consequently, the country relies on imports, which have increased by 8.15%…
ABSTRACT Linear alkylbenzene (LAB) is an organic compound (C₁₂H₂₆) that is a clear liquid used as a raw material in detergents, household cleaning products, agricultural herbicides, ink solvents, and paints. LAB has replaced alkylbenzene sulfonate (ABS) as a detergent raw material because it degrades faster, making it more environmentally friendly. Additionally, LAB compounds are more …
ABSTRACT Ethylene and acetic acid are among the most important petrochemical compounds in the chemical industry, serving as key raw materials for the production of polyethylene, ethylene glycol, styrene, and various other derivative products. Meanwhile, acetic acid is used in the manufacture of adhesives, synthetic fibers (such as acetate), solvents, and as an intermediate in the pharmaceutica…
Design of a Direct Dimethyl Ether (DME) Plant from Natural Gas with the Main Equipment Design of Dimethyl Ether Reactor (R-102) Nadiyah Nesa Syakdiyah ABSTRACT Dimethyl Ether (DME) is a simple ether compound used as a raw material in industry and as a fuel. DME is a colorless, odorless gas that is soluble in water and oil. It is non-carcinogenic, nonteratogenic, non-mutagenic, and non-to…
The depletion of fossil energy sources and their environmental impacts have encouraged the use of renewable energy based on biomass. Acacia crassicarpa bark is a lignocellulosic waste from the forestry industry with significant potential as a feedstock for bio-oil production through pyrolysis. This study aims to optimize the bio-oil yield from the pyrolysis of A. crassicarpa bark using a NiMo/N…
Indonesia has great potential for renewable energy development, including biomass, which can be utilized as an alternative energy source. Bagasse, an abundant agricultural waste, is one type of biomass that has not been optimally utilized. Through the pyrolysis process, bagasse can be converted into high-value products such as bio-oil, biochar, and gas. This study aims to determine the optimum …
Noodles are one of the most popular processed food products due to their practicality, affordability, and ease of preparation.
