Napthol dyes are the most widely used dyes as dyes or batik dyes which are completely non-biodegradable and can cause cancer, digestive disorders, and weakening of the body's resistance due to disease and environmental pollution. One of the processing methods currently being developed to degrade color in liquid waste is the photocatalyst method. The photocatalyst method can use a photocatalyst semiconductor in the form of TiO 2 with a supporting material in the form of SiO 2 . SiO 2 as a supporting material can be obtained from the utilization of the local potential of Karangwuni Kulon Progo beach sand. Dye processing was carried out by varying the irradiation time and concentration of Naphtol Jeans. The degradation process was applied to a 25 ml sample solution with the addition of 5 gr/L catalyst for 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, and 120 hours of irradiation. This study resulted in the highest reduction in naphtol concentration at the concentration variable of 100 ppm with a percentage of 44.4687% and a long irradiation time of 120 hours.","PeriodicalId":30703,"journal":{"name":"Eksergi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48917845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to determine the decrease in oxalate levels in porang tubers using various concentrations and types of immersion media in porang. The types of immersion media are water, salt, alcohol, and vinegar. Water immersion was carried out at 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, and 70°C.

The production of ethanol from glycerol requires a catalyst that can break down the molecular size of glycerol, one of which is zeolite. One type of zeolite that is good to use is ZSM-5, because this type of zeolite has a high degree of thermal stability, acid stability and selectivity. The catalytic properties of ZSM-5 can be improved by impregnating metals from the transition group, in this study using Ni (nickel). The results obtained that the catalyst Ni/ZSM-5 has a total acidity value of 0.920 mmol/g and has a specific surface area of 138.754 m 2 /g.

The purpose of this study is to simulate in detail the drying process on the tool using an ANSYS simulation. The model used in this simulation still uses the same mathematical model that has been studied before. This research begins by setting up the ANSYS application with the previous mathematical model, environmental conditions, and tool specifications. Furthermore, simulations are carried out using the ANSYS application with measurements of pressure, temperature, velocity and mass transfer. From this simulation obtained results for the distribution of pressure, temperature, velocity, and mass transfer. From all these distributions, it is sufficient to describe the drying process of the tool according to the mathematical model that has been studied previously.","PeriodicalId":30703,"journal":{"name":"Eksergi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43148438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This conflict will impact the vulnerable people as the raising food price. Molasses-based bioethanol is second-generation biofuel which more beneficial from environmental, economic, and social aspect. Molasses-based bioethanol production process generates waste named vinasse. Vinasse can’t be directly discharged to the environment due to its high organic matter concentration which is harmful to the waterbody, soil, and air. On the other hand, high organic matter contained in vinasse can be converted into biogas and is higher potential for molasses-based bioethanol plant. This study was preliminary study for processing vinasse using thermophilic anaerobic digestion specifically by temperature direct escalation and starvation method to the mesophilic originated inoculum.
