ACTIVATION OF NATURAL ZEOLITE AS AN ADSORBENT FOR LOW TEMPERATURE DRYING SYSTEM. Drying is one process which is used in many industries, especially in food product. The process usually still has low energy efficiency and can make food deterioration because of the usage of high temperature. One alternative in drying technology is the use of zeolite as a water vapor adsorbent. This kind of drying method make it possible to operate in lower temperature, hence it will be suitable for heat sensitive product. Natural zeolit can be one promising adsorbent since it is spreadly abundant in Indonesia. Natural zeolite must be activated first before used, in order to get zeolite with high adsorption capacity. Activation process in natural zeolite will change the Si/Al ratio, polarity, and affinity of zeolite toward water vapor and also increase the porosity. Activation of natural zeolite can be done with two methods, chemical activation use NaOH and physical activation use heat. In the activation using NaOH, natural zeolite is immersed with NaOH solution 0.5-2N in 2 hour with temperature range 60-900C. The process is continued with the drying of zeolite in oven with 1100C for 4 hours. While in heat treatment, zeolit is heated into 200-5000C in furnace for 2-5 hours. SEM analysis is used to compare the change in zeolite morphology before and after each treatment, while to know the adsorption capacity of zeolite, the analyses were done in many temperature and relative humidity. Result gives the best condition in NaOH activation is NaOH 1N and temperature 700C, with water vapor loading is 0.171 gr/gr adsorbent. In heat treatment, the best condition is 3000C and 3 hours with loading 0.137 gr water vapor/gr adsorbent.  Pengeringan merupakan salah satu proses yang banyak digunakan pada produk pangan. Proses ini umumnya menyebabkan kerusakan pada bahan pangan, disamping masih rendahnya efisiensi energi. Salah satu alternatif pada proses pengeringan yaitu penggunaan zeolit sebagai adsorben uap air. Proses pengeringan dengan menggunakan zeolit sebagai adsorben ini memungkinkan operasi pengeringan dilakukan pada suhu rendah sehingga sesuai untuk bahan yang tidak tahan panas. Zeolit alam merupakan salah satu alternatif bahan adsorben. Akan tetapi zeolit ini harus diaktivasi terlebih dahulu untuk mendapatkan zeolit dengan kemampuan adsorpsi yang tinggi. Proses aktivasi pada zeolit akan merubah rasio Si/Al zeolit, polaritas serta afinitas zeolit terhadap air dan meningkatkan pori-pori zeolit Adsorpsi zeolit alam dilakukan dengan dua cara yaitu dengan NaOH dan dengan panas. Pada aktivasi dengan NaOH, zeolit dicampur dengan NaOH 0,5-2N selama 2 jam pada suhu 60-900C. Sementara pada aktivasi fisis, zeolit dipanaskan pada 200-5000C selama 2-5 jam. Untuk mengetahui perubahan struktur pori zeolit maka dilakukan analisa SEM dan untuk mengetahui kemampuan adsorpsi zeolit maka dilakukan analisa daya adsorpsi zeolit terhadap uap air pada berbagai suhu dan berbagai kelembaban relatif. Hasil menujukkan bahwa pada aktivasi dengan NaOH diperoleh kondisi aktivasi terbaik adalah NaOH 1N pada pemanasan 700C dengan daya adsorpsi 0,171 gr uap air/gr adsorben. Sementara untuk aktivasi dengan panas, kondisi aktivasi terbaik adalah pemanasan 3000C selama 3 jam dengan daya adsorpsi 0,137 gr uap air/gr adsorben.

Biogas purification is the most important process to increase the quality of biogas. This research was introduced a continuous system of biogas purification from CO2 impurity using zeolite and NaOH solution. The granular zeolites were varied from 1 to 5 layers on solid purifier. The NaOH solution was varied from 10% to 50 % based on concentration. Contact time of biogas with zeolite and NaOH solution were observed on interval of 15 minutes. The results showed that the ability of NaOH solution to absorb of CO2 is faster than zeolite. On the initial minutes, NaOH solution on the some concentration absorbed the CO2 until less than 10% of volume CO2 in biogas. Furthermore, the five layers of zeolites able to adsorb the CO2 until the 21.3% of volume CO2 in biogas on 60 minutes. For a similiar condition, CH4 levels increased to be 74.7% and 92.4% for zeolite and NaOH solution, respectively. The ability of CO2 absorbsion was influenced by layers number of zeolite purification system and the concentration of NaOH solution for NaOH purification system.

Research on the equilibrium and adsorption kinetics of methylene blue dye using tannin gel from the Tingi tree (Ceriops tagal) has been carried out. This study aims to determine the capacity and adsorption kinetics of tannin gel against methylene blue dye. Several parameters, such as the effect of contact time, pH, and methylene blue dye concentration on adsorption, were also studied. Based on the research results, the optimum adsorption process is a contact time of 30 minutes and a pH of 7. The adsorption capacity increased to a concentration of 80 mg/L with a maximum adsorption capacity (qm) of 49.261 mg/g. The adsorption process follows the pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics model and the Langmuir isotherm model.

Chitosan obtained from shrimp shells and SiO2 nanoparticles obtained from rice husk ash were used to synthesize chitosan - SiO2 composite materials. In order to obtain a porous chitosan adsorbent, the SiO2 particles in the chitosan - SiO2 composite material were removed with NaOH solution. With the orientation of applying adsorbent in wastewater treatment of textile industry, the ability of methylene blue adsorption of chitosan with porous structure has been investigated. Survey results show that chitosan has porous structure with good adsorption capacity of methylene blue. The adsorption capacity of materials depends on many factors such as: structure of particles; pH of adsorption medium and temperature. Adsorbent material is made of composite chitosan - SiO2 with the ratio of chitosan/SiO2 equal to 1/1 (w/w) with the best adsorption capacity. Materials with good adsorption capacity at pH = 6, at low pH, the adsorption capacity of the material is significantly reduced. Temperature has a great influence on the adsorption capacity of the material. The suitable temperature for adsorption of materials is 40 oC. With a higher temperature, the desorption process will be accelerated. This makes the adsorption capacity of the material decrease. The maximum methylene blue adsorption capacity of the material is determined about 7.25 mg/g after 40 minutes of adsorption time.

In the present investigation , neem leaves are obtained from the agricultural fields and its potential for the removal of dye is tested with the model system of methylene blue in water . The MB has health hazards, its been reported that exposures to the dyes cause allergic reactions, and hence its reflected as toxic. The results obtained from batch experiments are quite useful in giving information about the efficacy of dye-adsorbent system. The influence of factors such as the initial pH value, adsorbent dose, and time of contact was investigated. The results indicate that the percentage removal also increased with the rise in the adsorption capacity (qe). 82% of colour elimination can be obtained at the dose of 100g/l NLP for methylene blue of 10mg/l concentration. The optimal parameters for this experiment were 10mg/l for initial dye concentration, 5gm/50ml adsorbent dosage and pH 8. In the batch system, the adsorption capacity was increased when the parameters were increased until it achieved the equilibrium. Langmuir adsorption isotherm graphics plotted with l/qevis 1/Ce. Trend lines for the adsorption data of different concentration of methylene blue with neem leave as adsorbent is plotted. The linear regression was piloted using plot l/qevis 1/Ce; it was found that R2 value are quite closer to 1 signifying Langmuir isotherm as a good fit for this experimental data. Results indicated that neem leaves has potential to remove Methylene Blue Dye from aqueous streams and can be successfully used as a low cost adsorbent.

In the article presented the data on the possibility of using crushed pine nutshell to extract methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions. In Russia, in Siberia, located up to 80% of the world's reserves of Siberian cedar pine. Up to 12 million tons of pine nuts can be acquired annually, when processed into kernels or cedar oil, pine nut shell is formed as a waste, representing 51-59% of the nut weight itself. Despite proposed technological options for usage of pine nutshells, the issue of disposal of this material has not been fully resolved. One of the alternative options for the disposal of pine shells is obtaining sorption material for the extraction of pollutants from aqueous media. To improve the cleaning efficiency, the pine shell was treated with 10% NaOH solution. It was found that processing pine nutshells with 10% NaOH solution for 5 minutes at a temperature of 25 °C gives an improvement in cleaningefficiency of 96%, and an increase in the temperature of NaOH solution up to 97%. The recommended particle size of the pine nuts shell is less than 2 mm.

The effectiveness of alkali-acid modification in enhancement the adsorption capacity of rice straw (RS) for removing a basic dye was studied. The obtained adsorbents were characterized by slurry pH, pHPZC, iodine number, methylene blue number, FTIR, and SEM analyses. Adsorption of methylene blue (MB) was described by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin, and Redlich-Peterson isotherm models. Effects of contact time, initial concentration of MB dye, pH of solution, adsorbent dose, salt concentration of NaCl, and desorbing agents on the removal of MB were reported. Kinetic studies were analyzed using the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and the intraparticle diffusion models and were found to follow closely the pseudo-second-order model. Equilibrium data were best represented by the Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson isotherms. The adsorption capacities were varied between 32.6 and 131.5 mg/g for untreated and treated RS samples with NaOH-1M citric acid (ARS-1C), respectively. Adsorption behavior of the ARS-1C sample was experimented in a binary mixture containing methylene blue (basic) and reactive blue 19 (acidic) dyes which showed its ability to remove MB higher than RB19. Overall, the results indicate that the alkali-acid treatment proved to be potential modification for producing effective low-cost adsorbents for the removal of the basic dyes from wastewater.
