"In the palm oil refining processes, the free fatty acid content is reduced to an acceptable level by using steam-stripping that causes, also, the loss of nutraceuticals such as tocopherols and carotenoids. An alternative method, such as solvent extraction, to separate free fatty acids, especially palmitic acid as the major free fatty acid present in palm oil, will conserves not only the important nutraceuticals but, also, conserves energy because a steam requirement is eliminated. The objective of this research is to evaluate the performance of Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES), each consisting of betaine as the hydrogen bonding acceptor and a polyalcohol as the hydrogen bonding donor, to extract palmitic acid from palm oil. The goal is to obtain a NADES that is able to extract palmitic acid from palm oil with the highest extraction yield. The viscosity of various studied NADES was 10-236 cSt while the polarity parameter, determined by using Nile red as the solvatochromic dye, was 48.9-50.8 kcal/mol. The obtained data shows that, for NADES having similar polarity to that of betaine, the extraction yields reduce with increasing viscosity of the NADES. The highest extraction yield of 60% (w/w), corresponding to a distribution coefficient value of 0.75, was obtained by using NADES consisting of betaine and 1,2-butanediol. The extraction yield and distribution coefficient values indicated the potential of NADES, prepared by friendly compounds of betaine and polyalcohols, as alternative green solvents in the solvent extraction process when separating free fatty acids from palm oil."

"Beberapa proses pemurnian minyak sawit mengakibatkan kandungan senyawa nutrisetikal tereduksi dari minyak sawit hasil pemurnian. NADES natural deep eutectic solvent merupakan alternatif pelarut untuk ekstraksi asam lemak bebas pada minyak sawit. Dengan mempengaruhi sifat dari NADES maka akan mempermudah difusi asam lemak bebas ke dalam NADES. NADES berbasis betain memiliki rentang kepolaran yang tidak jauh berbeda.Sifat polaritas berhubungan dengan ikatan hidrogen yang terjadi antara HBD dengan HBA, seiring dengan penambahan rasio molar dari NADES adanya kecenderungan mengurangi polaritas. Sedangkan, jika Viskositas yang tinggi mengindikasikan adanya ikatan hidrogen yang luas antara masing-masing komponen sehingga menghambat gerakan bebas komponen-komponen dalam NADES. Viskositas memiliki pengaruh terhadap koefisien difusi, jika viskositas pelarut rendah maka koefisien difusi akan meningkat, serta meningkatkan laju ekstraksi. Berdasarkan sifat tersebut, NADES dengan kapasitas penyerapan terbaik dimiliki NADES 1,2 butanediol pada semua rasio yang dapat lebih banyak menyerap asam palmitat dibanding 1,2 propanediol; 1,3 propanediol; 1,2 butanediol; 1,3 butanediol; 1,4 butanediol; dan etilen glikol. Ekstraksi dengan NADES tersebut dapat menyerap sebanyak 60 dengan selektivitas yang tinggi. Karena itulah, ekstraksi NADES dengan HBD 1,2 butanediol dapat mengekstraksi asam palmitat dari minyak sawit terbesar.

A number of palm oil refining processes results in reduced nutraceutical compounds from refined palm oil. NADES natural deep eutectic solvent is a solvent alternative for free fatty acid extraction on palm oil. By affecting the nature of NADES, it will facilitate the diffusion of free fatty acids into NADES. Beta based NADES has a slightly different polarity range.

The polarity properties are related to the hydrogen bonds that occur between HBD and HBA, along with the addition of the molar ratio of NADES to the tendency of reducing polarity. Whereas, high viscosity indicates the presence of extensive hydrogen bonds between each component thus inhibiting the free movement of components in NADES. Viscosity has an effect on the diffusion coefficient ndash if the solvent viscosity is low, the diffusion coefficient and the rate of extraction will increase.

Based on these properties, NADES with the best absorption capacity of NADES 1.2 butanediol in all ratios can absorb more palmitic acid than 1,2 propanediol 1.3 propanediol 1,2 butanediol 1.3 butanediol 1,4 butanediol and ethylene glycol. Extraction with NADES can absorb as much as 60 with high selectivity. Therefore, NADES extraction with HBD 1,2 butanediol can extract palmitic acid from the largest palm oil."

"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."

"The research aims to scale up a small-scale stirred batch reactor to a large-scale stirred batch reactor in order to degum crude palm oil for use as a raw material in biodiesel production. The scale-up is based on the similarity of fluid Reynolds numbers in the two differently sized reactors. To achieve this aim, computational fluid dynamic modeling and simulations of the two reactors were performed. A small-scale palm oil degumming process was carried out in a 250 cc autoclave reactor using a magnetic stirrer at 500 rpm. The simulation results of this small reactor yielded a fluid Reynolds number in the range of 5 to 3,482. The large-scale reactor proposed in this research is 1.25 m3 in volume and is equipped with two impellers: a pitched blade impeller and a Rushton turbine impeller. The pitched blade impeller is placed over the Rushton turbine impeller. They are rotated at 100 rpm. Under this setting and operation, the resulting fluid Reynolds number was in the range of 486 to 202,000. This result indicates that the large-scale reactor was able to reproduce the reaction performance obtained in the small-scale reactor."

Indonesia is the largest palm oil producer in the world since overtaking Malaysia in 2008. The palm oil industry has a significant contribution to Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product. The 2019 Renewable Energy Directive II to the Delegated Act policy implemented by the European Union threatens the sustainability of the Indonesian palm oil industry with plans to stop using palm oil by 2030. To overcome this, Indonesia is trying to find new markets for palm oil by collaborating with various countries, one of which is the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) as stated in IUAE-CEPA. This research analyzes the process of establishing the IUAE-CEPA as well as the potential for increasing Indonesian palm oil exports with the implementation of the IUAE-CEPA. This research is normative juridical research using a combination of doctrinal and non-doctrinal methods. In this research, it was found that the formation of IUAE-CEPA could support trade between Indonesia and the UAE and help Indonesia access new markets, not only the UAE, but also other Middle Eastern countries with the PEA as an entry point."

"Indonesia, as the largest palm oil producer in the world, also produces palm oil mill effluent (POME). While the latter is a liquid waste that is hazardous for the environment, with proper processing, it can be a potential energy source. The objective of this study was to study the performance of biogas production from POME at various temperatures. The POME and sludge mixture was fermented, according to the treatment, at 27-28oC, 45oC, and 55oC, with the results showing that methane could thereby be produced by as much as 0,19 m3, 0,25 m3, and 0,28 m3 respectively. For each kilogram of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, with POME fermentation at room temperature, 45oC, and 55oC, biogas could be produced with methane content of 65.44%, 62.57%, and 59.15%, respectively."

"ABSTRAKProses penghilangan asam lemak bebas dari minyak sawit dengan proses pelucutan kukus menyebabkan antioksidan alami dalam minyak sawit ikut teruapkan dan rusak akibat suhu tinggi. Ekstraksi cair-cair menggunakan pelarut etanol pada penghilangan asam lemak bebas dari minyak sawit juga belum dapat meminimalkan ikut larutnya antioksidan ke fasa ekstrak. Pada proses ekstraksi menggunakan pelarut NADES, terdapat interaksi antara molekul-molekul pada NADES dengan zat terlarut. Tujuan penelitian disertasi ini yaitu: 1 mengevaluasi interaksi antara molekul-molekul betain monohidrat dengan HBD serta interaksi antara molekul asam lemak bebas dengan molekul NADES secara eksperimen dan simulasi dinamika molekuler, 2 mendapatkan pelarut NADES yang paling selektif maksimal mengekstraksi asam palmitat namun tidak mengekstraksi antioksidan alami -tokoferol dan -karoten , 3 mengevaluasi korelasi sifat fisika-kimia NADES polaritas, densitas dan viskositas dengan koefisien distribusi zat terlarut dan 4 mendapatkan kembali pelarut NADES dengan batch cooling crystallization. Pelarut NADES dari campuran betain monohidrat dan HBD hydrogen bond donor asam karboksilat/poliol efektif mengekstraksi asam lemak bebas dari minyak sawit dengan koefisien distribusi asam palmitat mencapai 0.97. Koefisien distribusi antioksidan -tokoferol dan -karoten tidak melebihi 0.03, dan ini mampu mempertahankan antioksidan alami dalam minyak sawit sampai 99 . Adanya interaksi ikatan hidrogen antara molekul betain monohidrat dan HBD, juga interaksi antara asam palmitat dengan molekul betain, air serta HBD mempengaruhi kemampuan NADES untuk mengekstraksi asam lemak bebas dari minyak sawit. Pelarut betain monohidrat-gliserol DES pada rasio mol 1/8 memiliki selektivitas tertinggi 1067 pada suhu 50oC dan rasio massa minyak sawit/pelarut 1/1. NADES ini lebih selektif dibanding pelarut larutan etanol. NADES berbasis betain monohidrat memiliki polaritas dalam rentang polaritas air dan etanol, viskositas 6.5-310 cSt dan densitas1.02-1.22 g cm-3. Peningkatan viskositas dan densitas NADES menyebabkan koefisien distribusi asam palmitat menurun. NADES dapat diperoleh kembali dari fase ekstrak dengan batch cooling crystallization. Asam palmitat yang terpisah dari fase ekstrak mencapai 98.3 dengan pendinginan pada suhu 21 C selama 22 jam. Ekstraksi asam lemak bebas dari minyak sawit menggunakan NADES sebagai pelarut hijau serta proses untuk mendapatkan kembali pelarut dengan batch cooling crystallization ini adalah layak berdasarkan pendekatan proof of concept.

ABSTRACTDeacidification of palm oil that performed by stream stripping induce the antioxidant compounds that originally present in palm oil is partially evaporated and destroy due to high temperature. Deacidification of palm oil by liquid-liquid extraction using ethanol as a solvent has low selectivity. In the extraction processes using NADES natural deep eutectic solvents as the solvents, the interactions between NADES molecules and solute were present. The aims of this work are 1 evaluate the molecular interaction between NADES-based betaine monohydrate molecules and solute as palmitic acid , 2 screening a selected NADES as a solvent for the extraction of free fatty acids from palm oil, 3 evaluate the correlation between physicochemical properties of NADES such as density, viscosity and polarity and the distribution coefficients of solute, 3 the recovery of NADES by cooling crystallization process was studied. NADES that formed by mixing of betaine monohydrate and carboxylic acid/poliol as the hydrogen bond donor HBD were the effective solvents for the extraction of free fatty acids from palm oil with distribution coefficient of palmitic acid up to 0.97. Additionally, the distribution coefficients of natural antioxidant compounds lower than 0.03 antioxidants in palm oil can be preserved in palm oil up to 99 . The presence of hydrogen bonding interactions between betaine monohydrate and HBD molecules, interactions between palmitic acid and betaine, water and HBD affect the ability of NADES to extract of palmitic acid from palm oil. The betaine monohydrate-glycerol DES molar ratio of 1:8 has highest selectivity at temperature of 50oC and mass ratio of oil to solvent of 1:1 up to 1067. This NADES has higher selectivity if compared the hydrated ethanol as a solvent. NADES-based betaine monohydrate have the polarity in the range of polarity of water and ethanol. The density of NADES in the range 1.02-1.22 g cm-3 and the viscosity in the range 6.5-310 cSt. The increase in the density and viscosity of NADES induce the distribution coefficients of palmitic acid decreased. This NADES can be recovered by batch cooling crystallization. The separated amount of palmitic acid from extract phase was obtained up to 98.3 at cooling temperature of 21 C for 22 hours. Based on the proof of concept, the extraction of palm oil from palm oil process using NADES as green solvents, and also recovery of solvent by batch cooling crystallization is feasible."

"Kelapa sawit merupakan salah satu produk yang penting bagi perekonomian Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa performan ekspor Indonesia untuk CPO, Produk-Produk Turunan dari CPO, dan Crude Palm Kernel Oil ke China dan untuk mencari pengaruh dari variable-variable independen seperti: real exchange rate, harga komoditi ekspor di pasar dunia, penetapan tarif export yang diberlakukan untuk komoditi ekspor, dan kebijakan penetapan tarif impor yang diterapkan oleh negara tujuan ekspor sebagai variabel dummy.Kami menguji penelitian ini dengan menggunakan regresi data panel. Interval waktu yang kami gunakan yaitu mulai tahun 2002 sampai 2008 dengan data quarter. Sebagai hasilnya kami mendapatkan hasil bahwa eksportir CPO dan CPKO terbesar di dunia adalah Indonesia. Sedangkan di pasar China, Indonesia menempati urutan ke dua setelah Malaysia sebagai eksportir CPO dan produkproduk turunannya. Namun demikian ekspor Indonesia untuk CPKO ke China bahkan ke pasar dunia menempati nomor satu. Untuk itu Indonesia akan untung jika melakukan spesialisasi ekspor CPKO ke China maupun ke pasar internasional.Sebagai hasil pengujian data panel dengan ekonometri didapatkan bahwa variable real exchange rate mempengaruhi ekspor Indonesia secara signifikan. Variable tarif juga memberikan pengaruh signifikan terhadap jumlah ekspor Indonesia ke China. Sedangkan harga komoditi di pasar dunia juga memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap jumlah ekspor Indonesia ke China. Tetapi berhubungan positif, hal ini disebabkan karena komoditi ini digunakan untuk spekulasi bisnis. Sehingga fluktuasi harganya mengikuti pergerakan harga minyak mentah di pasar dunia. Variabel CEPT5 juga berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap ekspor Indonesia ke China.

Palm oil commodity is the one product that is important to the Indonesia's economy. The aim of this research are to analyze export performance of Indonesian exports of crude palm oil (CPO), its derivative products and crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) to China and to find out the effects of such as: real exchange rate, prices of commodities in the world market, Indonesian export duty of commodities, and dummy CEPT5 toward Indonesian export volume of those commodities to China.We examine this research using panel data regression. The data periods for this research were quoted from 2002 to 2008 quarterly. As a result of this research we obtain the biggest exporter of crude palm oil and crude palm kernel oil in the world is Indonesia while Malaysia possesses more comparative advantage than Indonesian in regards of the export of other palm oil products. However, in China`s market, Indonesian market share of CPO and its derivative products is lower than Malaysia. Nevertheless, in China, Indonesia has export volume of CPKO larger than Malaysia. Consequently Indonesia will benefit to do specialization CPKO export to the world especially to China.In addition, the result of econometric regression shows that real exchange rate variable significantly influence to Indonesian exports of those commodities. Also, tariff export variable give significant influence on those Indonesian exports of those commodities. Meanwhile the relation between price variable and export demand is significant but the expected sign for this variable is not appropriate with the hypotheses. We expect the price sign is negative but the result of estimation we obtain positive price sign. We state that in the world market price of CPO is used for business speculation. Finally, dummy-CEPT5 is affectively influence to Indonesian exports of those commodities."

"Oleic acid, one of the major components of palm oil, has attracted much interest in modern oleochemistry. The internal olefin group in oleic acid is a useful functional group in the transformation of a fatty acid to other functional chemicals and materials. In this paper, we discuss the application of the olefin metathesis reaction by preparing a long-chain dicarboxylic acid and alkene from the ester of oleic acid. The internal olefin metathesis reaction of methyl oleate produced dimethyl 9-oktadecendioate and 9-octadecene in the presence of a ruthenium Grubbs II (second generation) catalyst with a 51% yield. We also found that there was a higher amount of the E isomer products than the Z isomer products."
