"Kitosan adalah polielektrolit organik semulajadi yang berjisim molekul danberketumpatan caj yang tinggi, diperoleh dari deasetilasi kitin. Kajian ini meneroka potensi dankeberkesanan kitosan sebagai pengental utama dan flokulan, dibandingkan dengan aluminiumsulfat (alum), untuk rawatan awal sisa kilang kelapa sawit (POME). Siri ujian pengentalan danflokulasi kelompok telah dikendalikan di bawah keadaan yang berbeza seperti dos dan pH untukmenentukan keadaan optimal bagi pengental kitosan dan alum. Prestasi diuji berdasarkanpenurunan nilai kekeruhan, kandungan pepejal terampai (TSS) dan keperluan oksigen kimia(COD). Kitosan menunjukkan penurunan parameter yang lebih baik dengan keperluan dos yanglebih rendah berbanding alum, walaupun pada pH sampel yang asal, iaitu 4.5. Pada pH 6, dosoptimal kitosan pada 400 mg/L mampu menurunkan nilai kekeruhan, kandungan pepejalterampai (TSS) dan keperluan oksigen kimia (COD) sebanyak 99.90%, 99.15% dan 60.73% masing-masing. Pada pH ini, pengentalan POME oleh kitosan dibawa oleh kombinasimekanisme peneutralan cas dan titian polimer. Alum merekodkan dos optimal pada 8 g/L dan pHoptimal pada pH 7 dengan penurunan nilai kekeruhan, kandungan pepejal terampai (TSS) dankeperluan oksigen kimia (COD) sebanyak 99.45%, 98.60% dan 49.24% masing-masing.Kombinasi kitosan dan alum menunjukkan peningkatan kecekapan yang amat kecil dibandingkandengan menggunakan kitosan sendirian. Daripada keputusan yang diperolehi, dapat dicadangkanbahawa mekanisme titian polimer oleh kitosan adalah lebih dominant berbanding alum dan dosalum juga dapat dikurangkan."

Asam palmitat merupakan asam lemak jenuh yang paling banyak terdapat dalam air buangan industri kelapa sawit (Palm Oil Mill Effluent, POME). POME menyebabkan tingginya kebutuhan oksigen kimia dan berdampak kepada kerusakan ekosistem di perairan. Pada penelitian ini, asam palmitat dalam sistem emulsi air-etanol dan satu fasa (air) dengan pH basa digunakan sebagai model limbah cair POME untuk di elektrooksidasi menggunakan anoda Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) secara kontinu dan batch. Karakterisitik kinerja anoda BDD di amati melalui siklik voltametri dan kronoamperometri, sedangkan penurunan asam palmitat dimonitor dengan pengukuran Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) dan LCMS-MS pada setiap waktu elektrooksidasi. Selain itu, untuk melihat umur pakai anoda BDD dan stabilitas struktur BDD pada elektrolisis asam palmitat telah dipelajari juga penggunaan potensial tinggi. Hasil penelitian mengindikasikan bahwa elektrooksidasi asam palmitat pada sistem campuran air-etanol maupun tanpa etanol terjadi secara tidak langsung melalui pembentukan radikal hidroksida pada daerah dekat pembebasan oksigen. Indikator penurunan asam palmitat dalam sistem emulsi air-etanol baik secara kontinu dan batch ditunjukan oleh penurunan COD yang berturut-turut mencapai 75,91% dan 75.46% selama 1 jam elektrooksidasi pada potensial +10,0V. Penurunan COD dipengaruhi oleh besarnya potensial yang diberikan dan lama waktu elektrooksidasi. Pada metoda kontinu, potensial yang diterapkan +10,0V dan lama waktu elektrookasidasi 4 jam tercapai penurunan COD sebesar 87,61%, sedangkan pada metoda batch, potensial yang diterapkan +3,0V dan lama waktu elektrooksidasi sama yaitu 4 jam tercapai penurunan COD tertinggi sebesar 85,75%. Sedangkan penurunan asam palmitat dalam sistem tanpa etanol dan potensial yang diterapkan +5,0V selama 5 menit elektrooksidasi menunjukan efisiensi yang rendah yaitu 37,16% dan bertambahnya waktu penurunan COD konstan. Studi stabilitas struktur BDD menunjukan bahwa penerapan potensial tinggi dan lama waktu elektrooksidasi 4 jam telah menyebabkan penurunan kualitas struktur BDD.

POME causes high chemical oxygen demand and impacts on the damage to the ecosystem in the waters. In this study, palmitic acid in a emulsion system of water ethanol and one-phase system of water and alkaline pH was used as a model of POME liquid waste to be electrooxidated using Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) anodes continuously and in batches. The performance characteristics of BDD anodes are observed through voltammetry cyclic and chronoamperometry, whereas the decrease in palmitic acid is monitored by the measurement of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and LCMS-MS in every time of electro-oxidation. In addition to looking at the life span of BDD anodes and the stability of BDD structures, high potential use in palmitic acid electrolysis has also been studied. The results of the study indicated that the electro-oxidation of palmitic acid in the water-ethanol emulsion system and the without ethanol occurs indirectly through the formation of hydroxide radicals in the area near oxygen evolution. Indicators of a decrease in palmitic acid in water-ethanol mixture system both continuously and in batch are shown by a decrease in COD which respectively reached 75,91% and 75,46% for one hour of electro-oxidation at a potential of +10,0V. The decrease in COD is influenced by the magnitude of the potential given and the time length of electro-oxidation. In the continuous method, when the potential applied was + 10,0V and the time length was four hours of electro-oxidation, it achieved a COD reduction to 87,61%, while in the batch method, the potential applied was +3,0V and the time length of electro-oxidation was the same that is ie 4 hours, it achieved the highest COD reduction into 85,75%. On the other hand, the decrease of palmitic acid in the solution system without ethanol and the potential applied +5,0V for 5 minutes of electro-oxidation showed a low efficiency of 37,16% and increased time to decrease COD constant. The study of BDD structure stability showed that the application of high potential and the time length of electro-oxidation of 4 hours has caused a decrease in the quality of BDD structure.

"The combination of baffled air flotation and a membrane system for the treatment of palm oil mill effluent (POME) was studied. The POME was obtained from a palm oil factory in PTPN I Tanjong Seumantoh, Aceh, Indonesia. Operation variables and conditions, such as the hydraulic retention time and air flow rates, were varied to find the optimum process. The air flotation process is able to reduce the concentration of suspended solids and fats/ oils contained in the wastewater, which increases the performance of the membrane by reducing clogging. The results showed that this method was promising for POME treatment. The optimum organic removal efficiency of the air flotation pretreatment was obtained at HRT = 5 days and at an air flow rate of 11 L/min. The effluent was subsequently passed through an anaerobic membrane system to achieve the highest removal efficiency treatment. The removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS), mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS), and fats/oils after passing through the membrane system were 97%, 93.9%, 99.8%, 94.5%, 96.2%, and 99.9%, respectively. The results also showed that the pH could be neutralized to 6.18, while a dissolved oxygen (DO) level of 1.60 mg/L could be achieved. A high quality of effluent was obtained, which met the standards for POME effluent."

"Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is an agro-industrial waste product with high availability and which contains high quantities of organic compounds that are necessary for microbial growth. Cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were grown in POME to produce lipase using the submerged fermentation method. The objective of this study is to obtain the optimum value of lipase activity produced by the cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using POME as the substrate through the submerged fermentation method and to obtain the dry extract of lipase. In the study, the one factor at a time (OFAT) method was applied, which allowed observation of the effect of inoculum and additional nutrient concentrations, such as Ca2+ ion, olive oil, peptone and Tween 80, on the activity of lipase. These factors were investigated in shake flask fermentation at 30°C over 96 hours. The activity unit of lipase was determined by the titrimetric reaction of olive oil hydrolysis using crude lipase. The optimum value of the lipase activity unit (1.327 U/mL) was gained when 3% (v/v) of inoculum, 4 mM of Ca2+ ion, 0.4% (v/v) of olive oil, 0.9% (m/v) of peptone, and 0.9% of Tween 80 were added into the medium. Crude lipase was then dried using a spray dryer. Subsequently, 15.643 g of dry extract lipase was obtained from 500 mL of cell free supernatant.
