Flocculation Process

The study investigated the performance of chitosan and extracted pandan leaves towards treatment of textile wastewater by using flocculation process. Pandan leaves were extracted by using solvent extraction method. Flocculation process was conducted using a Jar test experiment. The effect of dosage, pH, and settling time on reduction of COD, turbidity and color of textile wastewater was studied. The results obtained found that chitosan was very effective for reduction of COD, turbidity, color and indicator for color. The best condition for COD and turbidity removal was achieved at 0.2 g dosage, pH 4 and 60 minutes of settling time. Under this condition, about 58 and 99% of COD and turbidity was removed, respectively. However, the results obtained using extracted pandan was opposite compared to the chitosan. Extracted pandan was not able to remove both COD and turbidity of the waste.

Dalam kajian ini, poliacrylamid (PAM) dan polialuminium klorida (PAC) telah digunakan sebagai bahan pengental untuk merawat air sisa industri tekstil. Eksperimen ini telah dijalankan dengan menggunakan ujian balang. Kesan dos, kelajuan percampuran dan masa pemendapan ke atas keberkesanan proses flokulasi telah dikaji. Air sisa yang terawat dianalisis untuk penyingkiran warna, pengurangan COD dan pengurangan kekeruhan. Keputusan yang diperolehi menunjukkan bahawa PAM adalah lebih baik daripada PAC dalam merawat air sisa tekstil. PAM mencatatkan penurunan parameter tertinggi, iaitu 6 NTU untuk kekeruhan, 744 mg / l untuk COD, dan scala kurang daripada 0.5 untuk warna. Prestasi tebaik PAM dicapai pada dos 0.07 g dan apabila proses flokulasi dijalankan pada 200 rpm kelajuan percampuran dan 30 min masa pemendapan. Kajian ini juga mendapati bahawa parameter operasi yang dikaji (iaitu dos, kelajuan percampuran dan masa pemendapan) tidak banyak mempengaruhi ke atas penyingkiran warna, dan penurunan kekeruhan dan COD apabila PAC digunakan sebagai bahan pengental. Kata kunci: Pengelompokan; poliacrylamid (PAM); polialuminium klorida (PAC); air sisa tekstil In this study, polyacrylamide (PAM) and polyaluminum chloride (PAC) was used as a flocculant to treat industrial textile wastewater. The experiment was conducted using a Jar test experiment. The effect of dosage, mixing speed and settling time on the performance of the fflocculation process was investigated. The treated textile wastewater was analyzed by its color removal, turbidity and COD reductions. The results obtained showed that PAM performed better in treating the textile wastewater compared to PAC.PAM recorded the highest reduction of parameters, which are 6 NTU for turbidity, 744 mg/l for COD, and scale less than 0.5 for colour. The best performance of PAM was achieved at dosage 0.07 g and when the flocculation process was conducted at 200 rpm of mixing speed and 30 min of settling time. It was also found that the investigated operating parameters (i.e. dosage, mixing speed and settling time) did not influence much on removal of color and reduction of turbidity and COD when PAC was used as flocculant.

Pandanus Amaryllifolius

Pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb.) leaves are widely used in Malaysia as a source of natural flavoring.  The major compound contributing to the characteristic flavour of Pandan is 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP). As the consumer requirement for use of natural flavours, extraction of components from natural sources has been sought. In this study, solvent extraction of 2AP from Pandan leaves was performed. The effect of solvent used during extraction process (i.e. methanol, ethanol, propanol) towards the yield of 2AP was investigated. The presence of 2AP was determined using GCMS. The results obtained showed that ethanol was the best solvent to extract 2AP from Pandan leaves compared to methanol as higher 2AP peak arises from ethanol chromatogram.  However there is no 2AP detected when propanol was used as solvent.  It is believed that polarity of the solvent plays an important role in the extraction of 2AP.

Solvent Extraction Method

This work aimed to extract perfume from the leaves of Cymbopogon citratus using three extraction methods viz: distillation, solvent extraction and expression or effleurage. About 150 g of dried lemons grass were extracted using ethanol as the solvent to obtain essential oils required for the formulation of perfumes. The result of the hydrodistillation process showed that 1.23 g of essential oil per 130g of dry lemongrass produce 0.95% oil at 78 °C, while the effleurage method was 2.55 g of essential oil per 130 g of dry lemongrass sample thereby producing 1.96% oil yield. The solvent extraction method gave 2.7 g of essential oil per 130 g of dry lemongrass sample. This gives about 2.08 % yield of essential oil at a temperature of 78°C i.e. the boiling point of ethanol. The solvent extraction method yielded 2.08%, the effleuragemethod yielded 1.96% and the hydrodistillation method yielded 0.95% essential oil respectively. In conclusion, solvent extraction gave the highest yield because of less exposure to air and heat, which is highly recommended as the most suitable method for the extraction of essential oil.
