Biopelet adalah salah satu sumber energi alternatif untuk mengurangi ketergantungan bahan bakar fosil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan suhu optimal dan rasio ideal biopellet yang terbuat dari cangkang dan inti biji karet dalam produksi biopellet menggunakan mesin pengepres minyak ulir sesuai Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI 8021-2014) yang meliputi nilai pemanasan, kadar abu, kadar air, bahan mudah menguap, dan kepadatan biopellet. Jumlah sampel biopellet dalam penelitian ini adalah 10 sampel dengan berbagai variasi suhu bahan dasar. Perbandingan cangkang dan inti biji karet dalam penelitian ini meliputi: 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50, dan 40:60 dengan variasi suhu 200ᵒC dan 150ᵒC. Hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa komposisi biopelet terbaik adalah sampel pada suhu 200ᵒC, dan rasio cangkang dan kernel biji karet 80:20 dengan nilai kalor 5,083,4919 kal/g, kadar air 4,00%, kepadatan 1,6322 g/cm3, kadar abu 1,9802%, bahan mudah menguap 77,1888%, dan karbon tetap 16,8317%. Nilai kalor dan analisis terdekat telah memenuhi SNI 8021: 2014.
Mine acid water has a high level of acidity as a result of oxidation of rocks containing pyrite and sulfide minerals from the remains of rocks exposed to oxygen in the water, which usually contain high metal content. One way to reduce the metal content in acid mine water is to use a silica membrane. In the study, silica membranes were made by extracting silica from fly ash by using two types of solvents or extractors, namely HCl and HNO 3. The adsorption time are 100 min, 120 min, and 140 min with the aim to find out which extractors can produce membranes with performance good and optimum time in the absorption of metal content from acid mine drainage. SEM analysis shows that there is no pore formed on the membrane. The membrane with HCl extractor works better in reducing metal content. The optimum adsorption time in the 120th min is 18.9 mg/L.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
