The aim of investigation is to characterize and determine the adsorption capacity of natural zeolites from Cikalong for ammonium removal. The effect of cations type, K + , Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ , on ammonium desorptions was studied. Kinetic desorption study was also performed and fitted with various kinetic models. According to X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, the Cikalong natural zeolites were mordenite and clinoptilolite dominant type. The morphology of the mordenite phase was appeared as needles shape. The ratio of Si to Al was 6.86 according to X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The surface area was 187 m 2 /g which was determined by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) model. Desorption using K + solution showed the shortest time and the highest rate for ammonium desorption. The calculation using nonlinear method was carried out to optimize the desorption kinetic parameters. The pseudo 1 st order desorption kinetics model showed the smallest error with sum of squared error (SSE) 0.00209.","PeriodicalId":313477,"journal":{"name":"World Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122127715","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}

Currently, the level of electricity consumption in Indonesia was around 1000 kWh/capita/year and is expected to continue to increase towards developed countries with a minimum electricity consumption level of 3000 kWh/capita/year. Along with the increasing demand for electricity, many new power plants were being built in Indonesia using coal as fuel. Coal was a non-renewable fuel so the CO 2 gas produced has an impact on global warming. Co-Firing was a technology for combining fuel of biomass and coal in order to reduce the use of coal. The difference in the quality of biomass and coal was an obstacle to getting a stable combustion performance so it is necessary to improve the quality of biomass. The torrefaction technology can be implemented to improve the quality of biomass in Indonesia so it can be used as fuel for a co-firing power plant. One of the most potential biomass was empty fruit bunch (EFB) from palm oil processing with a potential of around 48 million tons per year or equivalent to 30 GW. Every Oil palm mills plant that process 25 ton/hour of fresh oil palm fruit bunches can produce EFB around 5.25 ton/hour. With so many palm oil plants, torrefaction technology can be used to store EFB torrefied which can change the properties of biomass from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. The government's role to support the use of biomass, including EFB, is very much needed in increasing cooperation between palm oil mills and power plants.","PeriodicalId":313477,"journal":{"name":"World Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114307811","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}

The applications of hydrogel are present in various fields such as pharmaceuticals, agriculture, food, and medical fields. Hydrogel is used as a wound dressing, in a drug release system, in diapers, in and menstrual products. The purpose of this research is to produce carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) hydrogels using citric acid as the crosslinking agent, and to determine the optimum conditions to produce hydrogels with a high absorption capacity of liquids using various concentrations of citric acid. The first step of this research is to mix NaCMC and citric acid by stirring it with an agitator at room temperature until the mixture becomes homogeneous. Then, the mixture is casted in a petri dish and dried for 24 hours at 30°C. Then, the crosslinking reaction was carried out at 80°C for a certain time. After that, the gels are put out of the petri dish and tested to determine their values of water absorption capacity (swelling) and gel fractions. Lastly, the hydrogels are characterized using FTIR and SEM. The results showed that the NaCMC hydrogel with anhydrous citric acid with 10%-wt is the best with 3779.16% swelling ratio and gel fraction of 60%.","PeriodicalId":313477,"journal":{"name":"World Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127681301","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}
