Studi Dinamika Proses Distilasi Reaktif Dalam Produksi 2-EthylhexylDodecanoate Menggunakan Aspen Plus Dynamics: Fungsi Alih Antara Komposisi Produk Terhadap Beban Reboiler dan Laju Refluks
In chemical industry, control system is one of the most important things to ensure production quality andsafety. In designing the control system, dynamics models in the form of transfer functions are required. In acomplex process the transfer functions are derived from black box models, in which the relationshipsbetween input and output variables are obtained from the dynamic data regression. One of the complexprocesses that can be found in the chemical industry is reactive distillation (RD). RD control system usuallytake the products compositions as controlled variable (CV) while manipulated variable or controller output(CO) are reboiler duty and reflux flow rate. This research aims to find the form of the transfer functionbetween CV and CO, as well as the values of the parameters of the transfer function. To achieve this goals,dynamic simulations of RD column was carried out by step test using Aspen Plus Dynamics. The result wasthen regressed to obtain the most appropriate transfer function. The chemical process that is applied in thecolumn RD is the production of 2-ethylhexyl-dodecanoate, a fatty acid ester which has a high economic valuefor it is widely used as raw materials of specialty chemica
Pengolahan Limbah Cair Industri Migas dengan Adsorpsi Pada Kolom Fixed – Bed
Petroleum processing industry activities generate wastewater containing phenol. If the effluent directly released into the environment will cause environmental pollution. This study aims to determine the effect of flow rate and height of bed to the reduction in the phenol content in wastewater oil and gas industry by using activated carbon adsorbent in a fixed-bed column. The study begins with the pre-treatment of wastewater by aeration to separate the oil content in the waste water. Furthermore sewage flowed into a fixed-bed column at various flow rates and high bed. Effluent from each - each variation of measured and calculated% concentration phenol removal. The results showed that the reduction in flow rate increases the amount of phenol is absorbed. For the high bed 25%, 50% and 75% of the fixed-bed column height, the higher the bed the higher the amount of phenol is absorbed. Best results are obtained on a high bed 75% and a flow rate of 0.8 mL / sec with% phenol removal amounted to 98.99%
Penyediaan Katalis Cu/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 untuk Katalis Sintesis-Langsung DME
Direct synthesis of dimethyl eter (DME) using Cu-based catalyst was studied with varying amounts of Zn for methanol synthesis, and Al2O3 as a component for methanol dehydration. Catalyst was prepared using two methods, i.e. the sol gel co-precipitation and the co-precipitation. Mass ratio of (Cu + Zn) to Al2O3 was held constant of 2. The characterization test indicated that co-precipitation catalyst had a better mechanical strength than sol-gel catalyst.Characteristic analysis (BET, XRD, SEM, and AAS) and activity tests (at 220oC). The sol gel co-precipitation method consisted of a higher portion of crystals 61.1%, while the coprecipitation catalyst had 21.8% crystals.However,the solgelco-precipitation had the smallest surface area of the catalyst 47.8m^2/g, while the co-precipitation had 114 m2/g. From the results of SEM analysis showed that almost all of catalyst texture contained amorf (50-70%) than crystal (20-40%). Catalyst CZA1 contained many amorf (78.2%) than crystal (21.8%), and this is match from XRD analysis. The amount of ZnO contained in catalyst (from the analysis of AAS) is quite far away from the target, this is due to lack of time aging in metal forming ZnO. Aging 6 hours enough for formation of crystal ZnO, but give a smallest surface area (20.4 m^2 /g). Co-precipitation method with aging 2 hours tested its activity in the synthesis of DME varied the active phase and promoter. CZA2 provide the best catalyst activity in the test activation and catalytic reduction process. CO convertion was 16% by CZA2 catalyst at 220oC and 1 bar

Conversion of Ligno-cellulosic Biomass Waste into Cellulose Nano-Fibril (CNF) Biodegradable Film for Bioactive Food Packaging
Indonesia is rich in tropical fruit. However, many tropical fruits face a post-harvesting problem related to the short shelf-life of fruits due to the high respiration, transpiration, and decaying by fungi. To solve this problem, it is necessary to prolong the shelf-life of tropical fruit by applying bioactive food packaging which can prevent fruit from decaying and rotting. Among the prospective bioactive food packaging is biodegradable film made of cellulose nanofibril (CNF). CNF is new nanomaterial containing thin fiber from cellulose. This material forms transparent gel, thus it is easily to be modified into biodegradable film which is homogenous, safe, environmentally friendly, and renewable. CNF nanomaterial can be derived from lingo-cellulosic material through the process of lingo-cellullose degradation followed by homogenization using fluidization process. This process results in CNF transparent gel which can be readily modified as biodegradable film. This biodegradable film is then can be applied to the tropical fruits to prolong their shelf-life. CNF bioactive food packaging has high mechanical strength and high protection against oxidation process. This paper comprehensively reviews the advanced technology of upgrading lingo-cellulosic biomass waste into CNF biodegradable film and the technic of applying it as bioactive fruit packaging
