Alkali treated cottonii (ATC) is a derivative product of Eucheuma cottoniithat is treated with alkali. This study used raw material of sap-free seaweed for ATC processing. Sap-free seaweed is a seaweed which thallus has been extracted with liquid known as sap. The use of sap-free seaweed as an ATC product is constrained by its low quality, so an effort to improve its quality is needed. Therefore the obejcetive of this Research was to get the optimal conditions of ATC processing. Experimental data were designed and analyzed using Response Surface MethodologyCentral Composite Design (RSM-CCD) using Design Expert 10.0.7® program. The optimization of ATC processing involved three components that were considered influential, namely KOH concentration, temperature, and processing time. Recommendation for optimal conditions issued by RSM-CCD on ATC processing from sap-free seawee d were 6 % KOH concentration at 75 oC for 120 minutes (93.1% desirability). The results of the response analysis showed a yield of 39.47% and a gel strength of 595.32 g/cm2. As a research control, the recommendation of RSMCCD used in ATC processing from nonsap-free seaweed was obtained yield of 36.81% and gel strength of 574.44 g/cm 2. ATC from sap-free seaweed has higher yield and gel strength than that from nonsap-free seaweed. Thismight be due to the sap-free seaweed was obtained using the proper sap extraction process and ATC processingunder optimal conditions, so that the quality of seaweed was better maintained.

Agroindustrial Residue

The peach stone is considered an agroindustrial residue originating from the industrial process of peach in halves in syrup. It does not have an adequate destination, its final disposal is incorrect and may cause contamination in the environmental compartments. In this way, the burning of this raw material as biomass enables its reuse, besides adding value to the residue. Among the processes used for the application of this residue is the carbonization process, which allows to obtain co-products with higher added value, such as pyroligneous liquid, which represents a fraction of organic compounds condensed from the smoke emitted during carbonization. The quality of the liquid depends on the process conditions and the biomass used. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the sample of pyrolignous liquid obtained from the carbonization of the peach stone, on an industrial scale, qualitative and semi quantitative. Preliminary characterization (pH, conductivity, color, density and contents of tar, organic matter and acidity) and a chemical characterization by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were performed. The liquid presented satisfactory results for the physico-chemical evaluations. Regarding the qualitative determination, it was possible to identify 49 compounds. Highlighting the phenols, with 44.90% of the number of compounds, mainly methoxyphenols. These are compounds with significant added value and industrial importance, indicating their use as raw material in the production of polymer resins, among other purposes.

The Cost

The degree of purity of materials recovered from municipal solid waste (MSW) depends mainly on the objective: the intended use of the recovered material and the cost to recover this material in its pure form, determined by the intensity of the effort and the technology involved. The Bio-waste to Bio-plastic (B2B) Project aims to develop an integrated separation process at the bio-waste source, focusing on Hospitality Units. The quality of the collected bio-waste will be upgraded by removing foreign bodies or even specific categories of food waste, or by adding bio-waste from other, more specialized, sources (e.g. bakery residues) to produce compostable bio-plastics through an optimal synthesis process. Compostable bio-plastics are high added value products, which justify an increase in the cost of the preceding processes. After examining the possibility of further source separation and its results, B2B will study the optimal collection and transport system which decisively affects many qualitative elements, testing and evaluating a relatively high-cost but highly effective solution, that of hand-sorting in order to optimize materials recovery. B2B will identify all the parameters of the production process of PLA monomers and (poly) lactic acid in relation to the quality characteristics of the raw material (bio-waste) collected from Hospitality Units. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of food waste (bio-waste) produced in Hospitality Units will then take place. All the above will be tested on a bench-scale unit that will allow their further study and their substantial improvement, as well as the extraction of realistic results. Finally, the effect of the end-product bio-plastic on the composting and anaerobic digestion of bio-waste will be examined. The expected results from the B2B implementation are an optimized source separation scheme for Hospitality Units, the identification of the appropriate method of upgrading the quality of residues collected for the purpose of bio-plastic production, and eventually an integrated process of converting bio-waste into a high added value product.

Madura memberikan kontribusi terbesar terhadap produksi garam di Jawa Timur. Produksi garam menghasilkan limbah yang disebut bittern. Bittern merupakan air sisa kristalisasi garam yang berbentuk cairan dengan kadar kepekatan >29o Be dan memiliki kandungan utama berupa ion magnesium. Selama ini, hasil bittern dari tambak garam rakyat Kabupaten Pamekasan, Madura digunakan kembali untuk proses produksi garam, dimana kegiatan tersebut dapat menurunkan kualitas garam. Dalam skala industri, bittern dapat digunakan sebagai bahan baku magnesium, namun diperlukan suatu metode untuk memisahkan senyawa lainnya agar tidak mengganggu proses ekstraksi magnesium. Ion sulfat (SO₄²ˉ) merupakan ion terbanyak kedua yang terkandung dalam bittern, sehingga pemisahan ion sulfat merupakan suatu strategi untuk meningkatkan kualitas bittern sebagai bahan baku magnesium klorida. Pada penelitian ini, proses pemisahan ion sulfat menggunakan reagen kalsium klorida dihidrat (CaCl₂.2H₂O) yang ditambahkan pada bittern dengan perbandingan antara SO₄²ˉ dan CaCl₂.2H₂O yaitu P1 = 1:0,90 ; P2= 1:0,95; P3 1:1; P4=1:1,05; dan P5= 1:1,1. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kandungan sulfat pada bittern yaitu 41257,14±757,14 mg/L. Kadar sulfat pada filtrat dengan perlakuan P₁ = 4,14±0,43 mg/L; P₂ = 5,38±0,22 mg/L; P₃ = 7,57±1,14 mg/L; P₄ = 6,57±0,57 mg/L; dan P₅ = 7,48±0,46 mg/L. Penambahan CaCl₂.2H₂O berpengaruh terhadap kadar sulfat pada bittern yang dapat dilihat dari hasil uji ANOVA.  Perlakuan optimal dari uji lanjut DNMR yaitu pada perlakuan ratio molar 1:0,9 dengan nilai rata-rata 4,1429 mg/L dimana dilihat dari rata-rata paling kecil dari perlakuan lainnya. Hasil penelitian ini menjadi penelitian dasar untuk melakukan optimasi ekstrak magnesium klorida dari bahan baku bittern. Madura provides the largest contribution to salt production in East Java. Salt production generates a waste called bittern. Bittern is the residual liquid of salt crystallization with a concentration of 29oBe and has the main content of magnesium ions. Unfortunately, bittern from the salt pond in Pamekasan Regency, Madura is reused for the salt production process, whereby this activity can reduce the quality of salt. On an industrial scale, bittern can be used as a raw material for magnesium, but a method is needed to separate other compounds so it does not interfere with the magnesium extraction process. Sulfate ion (SO₄²ˉ) is the second most abundant ion contained in bittern. Thus, the separation of sulfate ions is a strategy to improve the quality of bittern as a raw material for magnesium chloride. In this study, the separation process of sulfate ions using calcium chloride dihydrate reagent (CaCl₂.2H₂O) added to bittern with a ratio between SO₄²ˉ and CaCl₂.2H₂O, namely P1 = 1:0,90; P2= 1:0,95; P3 1:1; P4=1:1,05; dan P5= 1:1,1. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the sulfate content in bittern is 41257.14 ± 757.14mg/L. Sulfate levels in the filtrate  were P₁ = 4.14±0.43 mg/L; P₂ = 5.38±0.22 mg/L; P₃ = 7.57±1.14mg/L; P₄ = 6.57±0.57mg/L; and P₅ = 7.48±0.46 mg/L.The addition of CaCl₂.2H₂O has an effect on the sulfate content of bittern which can be exhibited from the ANOVA test results. The optimal treatment of the DNMR test is the treatment of the molar ratio of 1: 0.9 with an average value of 4.1429 mg/L, which is referred from the smallest average of other treatments. The results of this study serve as basic research to optimize the extract of magnesium chloride from bittern as raw material.
