“…Age of seedlings and different tomato varieties grown in coco peat media were also significant (Table 2). These consequences are similar with the conclusions of Kumarasinghe et al (2015) found that cocopeat media is good to increase leaf number per tomato seedling.…”

“…The finely shaped cococraft waste was initially obtained from cococraft product which made from coconut waste. Based on the size, those will be distinguished in very fine categories around < 0.5 mm, while 0.5 mm to<0.3 mm is a medium size, and the coarse size is 3 mm to < 4 mm [25]. The cococraft waste, which includes coarse fine material, is contained from shredded shells and sawdust of coconut wood waste.…”

“…Whereas, cocodust is processed from cococraft production waste (wood and coconut shells in the forms of dust particles, flour, and fine powder). According to particle size, cococraft waste used as cocodust material is classified as fine (< 0.5 mm), medium (0.5 to < 0.3 mm), and coarse (3 to < 4 mm) [25]. Cocodust is an innovative, environmentally friendly product.…”

The adoption of environmentally friendly production technology supports the empowerment of subsistence craftsmen through product diversification. However, a study of cococraft craftsmen in Purbalingga District, Purbalingga Regency Province, Central Java, Indonesia, revealed that the factors restricting the adoption of technology in cocodust production were technological complexity, limited capital, and social rigidity. The craftsmen had little awareness of the functional and economic benefits of cocodust. The adoption of new technology was unsuccessful due to a lack of evaluation of the cocodust characteristic regarding compatible, complex, observable, and triable aspects. Subsistence craftsmen were unsure of the characteristics of the facilitators of new technology, especially concerning economic value, a sense of belonging, production costs, accessibility, and social benefits. The key research output of this in-depth case study was a management scheme that could be used to facilitate technology adoption. The essence of this management scheme was to prompt a change in behavior at each stage of adoption through counseling, networking, sharing, and continuous advocacy. Continuous cocodust productivity would also reduce cococraft waste. Market security and price feasibility were also supporting elements, helping to guarantee additional income and thereby leading to the empowerment of the craftsmen. If the management scheme were to lead to technology adoption, it would provide a solution to the problem of the scarcity of agricultural land. Cocodust products can also be used effectively as a seedling or planting media on organic farms, especially those on the narrow and marginal area.

“…Serat cocopeat memiliki porositas lebih baik, keberadaan mikropori ini menyebabkan kapasitas serap minyak dan air lebih optimal (lihat Gambar 2). Selain itu, sifat asam pada permukaan menyebabkan kapasitas pertukaran kation lebih optimal [24]. Gaya elektrostatis antarmuka pada permukaan serbuk cocopeat dan minyak membuat daya simpan bioadsorber cocopeat menjadi lebih baik.…”

Abstrak Tumpahan minyak di lingkungan kerja, seperti bengkel otomotif, merupakan masalah serius yang memerlukan penanganan yang efektif untuk mencegah dampak negatif terhadap ekosistem dan kesehatan manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan teknologi bioadsorben berbahan serat alam yang efektif dalam menurunkan konsentrasi cairan limbah minyak di bengkel. Terdapat dua jenis serat alam yang digunakan, yaitu serat sabut kelapa (cocopeat), dan serat bambu pada rentang ukuran <25 µm tanpa proses aktivasi kimia. Pengujian menggunakan 5 gram serbuk untuk menurunkan cairan limbah pada volume total 225 ml. Lama waktu kontak adsorben terhadap larutan divariasi pada 1; 2; dan 5 menit dan selanjutnya dilakukan proses penyaringan menggunakan kertas Whatman-42. Analisis data adsorpsi meliputi laju dan efektifitas serap adsorben berdasarkan selisih berat masing-masing serbuk, volume cairan, dan konsentrasi minyak sebelum dan sesudah perlakukan. Hasil penelitian telah mengungkapkan kinerja adsorpsi minyak pada kedua serat alam. Serat cocopeat menunjukkan kinerja lebih optimal dibandingkan serat bambu dengan nilai efektifitas mencapai 22 % pada waktu kontak 5 menit. Studi morfologi telah mengkonfirmasi sifat adsorbansi pada struktur mikropori serat cocopeat. Kata kunci: adsorben, serat alam, tumpahan minyak, bengkel, pengembangan teknologi
