Generally, POME processing in Indonesia uses an open pond system. It is less efficient because it requires large areas and causing greenhouse gas effects. This research aims to improve the POME processing, three methods were studied; bioremediation using enrich indigent lypholitics bacteria (Bacillus toyonensis and Stenotrophomonas rhizophila.), electrocoagulation system, and combination of those methods. The parameters were measured were oil and fat contents, COD, pH, TSS, TDS, Fe and Cu metals. In the electrocoagulation method, the electrodes were used iron electrodes with a variation of electrical voltage 1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6 V. The bioremediation using indigent bacteria results in the removal of oil and fat -74.62%, COD -52.44%, TSS -43.11% and pH 6.38 at the incubation time for 6 days, TDS 21.42%, Fe -5.3% and Cu -64.70%. The electrocoagulation methods results oil and fat removal were -93.27%, COD was -85.71%, TDS -39%, TSS -84%, Cu -46%, Fe +92.35%, and pH 11.39 at a voltage of 6 V for 6 h. The combination of the two methods can reduce oil and fat levels by -87.39%, COD -56.70%, TDS -0.42%, TSS +15.88%, Cu -23.33%, Fe +93.74% and pH 8.82.

One of the alternative energy sources that can be evolved is bioethanol due to the high amount of oxygen component in it hence it can be combustible and eco-friendly. Mesocarp is farming and trading waste of Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) that contains 40% lignin, 44,4% cellulose, and 15% hemicellulose. Delignification is a process of removing lignin from the materials thus it can produce the high purity of cellulose. As long as this, there were numerous studies that researched about lignocellulose biomass, however the least studies researched the impact of using delignification. Thereby, this study was done for figuring out the impact of HCl concentration and length of time to the decreased lignin content and the quality of bioethanol. The points of impacts that being focused on were 1M, 2M, and 3M HCl concentration, whereas the points of length of time impacts were about 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes, 150 minutes, and 180 minutes. The decreased lignin content that was obtained is about 18,5% and the finest bioethanol is 97,38 %, 15oC for flash point, 3,8402 cPs for viscosity, and 0,8252 gr/cm3 for density from delignification using 3M HCl for about 150 minutes. Greater HCl concentration to delignification, greater quality of bioethanol that is produced, therefore can be applied to alternative fuel oils for vehicle.","PeriodicalId":31600,"journal":{"name":"IJFAC Indonesian Journal of Fundamental and Applied Chemistry","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77561556","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 examines how modifications in the ratio of oil palm empty bunches to Polypropylene (PP) plastic waste influence the percent liquid produced by cracking and the heating value during the process. It is a completely randomized design (CRD) with variations in the ratio of plastic raw materials: oil palm empty fruit bunches 1:0, 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 at a temperature of 450°C and 40 minutes duration. This resulted in liquid conversion from cracking of 80% at 1:1 of PP: TTKS 1:1. However, the addition of oil palm empty fruit bunches to polypropylene polymers does not affect the increase in the percent conversion outcomes.
