"Zeolit terstruktur yang menggabungkan mikro- dan mesoporositas disiapkan dengan menggunakan metode desilikasi dalam larutan basa NaOH 0,2 M terhadap dua jenis zeolit ZSM5: ZSM5 komersial tanpa template - (Si/Al 8,62) dan ZSM5 yang disintesis menggunakan template (Si/Al 25). Pola difraksi sinar-X menunjukkan bahwa kristalinitas dan short-range order dalam zeolit yang didesilikasi menggunakan basa tidak mengalami perubahan dibandingkan dengan zeolit awal untuk kedua sampel. Pengukuran permukaan pada zeolit ZSM5 'tanpa template' menunjukkan bahwa luas permukaan berkurang sebesar 2,33% namun isoterm adsorpsinya dapat dikategorikan ke dalam Tipe IV, yang merupakan karakteristik dari material mesopori. Hal ini didukung dari adanya perubahan pada volume mesopori dari 0,38 cm 3/g menjadi 0,45 cm 3/g, dan distribusi ukuran pori BJH meningkat dari 10 menjadi 18 nm. Di sisi lain, luas permukaan ZSM5 sintesis yang didesilikasi dengan basa meningkat sebesar 8,25%, tetapi kurva isoterm adsorpsinya menjadi Tipe I yang terkait dengan struktur mikropori. Lebih jauh lagi, analisis t-plot menunjukkan bahwa volume mesopori dari ZSM5 sintesis yang didesilikasi dengan basa meningkat sebesar 26%, dari 0,037 cm 3/g menjadi 0,046 cm 3/g, dengan sifat intrinsik zeolit tidak berubah. Dari penelitian ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa keberadaan template organik memainkan peranan penting dalam mempertahankan struktur zeolit selama perlakuan menggunakan basa.

Hierarchical zeolites combining micro- and mesoporosity were prepared using desilication method in alkaline solution of NaOH 0.2 M on two types of ZSM5: 'template free' commercial ZSM5 (Si/Al 8.62) and 'templated' as-synthesized ZSM5 (Si/Al 25). The powder X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that crystallinity and short-range order in the alkaline treated zeolites were virtually unchanged compared to both of the parent zeolites. The surface measurement on the template free ZSM5 zeolites showed that the surface area was reduced by 2.33%, but the adsorption isotherm can be categorized into Type IV which is typical of for mesoporous material, supported by the change in mesopore volume, and the BJH pore size distribution (from 10 to 18 nm). On the other hand, the surface area of the alkaline treated as-synthesized ZSM5 was increased by 8.25%, but its isotherm adsorption curve falls into Type I for microporous structure. The mesopore volume was increased by 26%, from 0.037 cm 3/g to 0.046 cm 3/g, with the intrinsic zeolite properties were mainly preserved. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the existence of organic template plays an important role in preserving the zeolitic structure during the alkaline treatment."

"Zeolit ZSM-5 mesopori disintesis menggunakan double template TPAOH dan polimer kationik PDDA. Katalis Co-ZSM-5 disiapkan dengan cara impregnasi ion cobalt (2.6 wt% zeolit) pada ZSM-5 mesopori, agar memperoleh katalis heterogen untuk oksidasi parsial gas metana menjadi metanol menggunakan oksigen sebagai sumber oksidannya. Analisis XRD zeolit, pencitraan SEM dan BET mengindikasikan bahwa penambahan waktu ageing meningkatkan kristalinitas ZSM-5, tetapi di sisi lain juga menurunkan luas permukaan, mesoporositas, dan ukuran kristal ZSM-5. Perlakuan alkali pada ZSM-5 double template menyebabkan penurunan baik mesoporositas dan kristalinitas ZSM-5. Sebelum digunakan untuk aplikasi, Co-ZSM-5 dikalsinasi pada suhu 550 0C selama 3 jam dalam aliran O2 (200 mL/min). Reaksi katalitik berlangsung pada suhu 150 oC selama 30 menit dalam sistem batch reactor yang terdiri dari metana, N2 (rasio CH4:N2 = 0.5:2) dan katalis Co-ZSM-5 (2.6 wt%). Produk diekstraksi dengan etanol dan dianalisis menggunakan GC-FID. Analisa GC-FID menunjukkan bahwa oksidasi parsial metana pada ZSM-5 dengan mesoporositas tinggi memiliki kecenderungan terhadap pembentukan metanol. Sedangkan, ZSM-5 dengan mesoporositas yang lebih rendah menghasilkan produk lain yang tidak teridentifikasi selain metanol. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa selektifitas produk oksidasi parsial metana dapat ditentukan dengan mengatur mesoporositas ZSM-5 sebagai katalis.Mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolite was synthesized using double template TPAOH and cationic polymer PDDA. Co-ZSM-5 catalyst was then prepared by impregnating cobalt ions (2.6 wt% zeolite) in mesoporous ZSM-5, in order to obtained heterogeneous catalyst for partial oxidation of methane gas to methanol using oxygen as oxidant. XRD pattern of the zeolite, SEM images, and adsorption of BET indicate that the addition of ageing time increase the crystallinity of ZSM- 5, but in the other hand decrease the surface area, mesoporosity, and particle size of ZSM-5. In addition, giving alkaline treatment to ZSM-5 double template decrease both mesoporosity and crystallinity of ZSM-5. Before reaction, Co- ZSM-5 were calcined at 550 0C for 3 hours in flow of O2 (200 mL/min). The catalytic test was performed at 150 oC for 30 minutes in a batch reactor consisting of methane, N2 (CH4:N2 ratio is 0.5:2) and Co-ZSM5 catalyst (2.6 wt%). The reaction products were collected by extraction with ethanol and analyzed using GC-FID. The analysis of GC-FID show that the partial oxidation of methane performed by high mesoporosity of ZSM-5 tends to methanol production. While the reaction performed by lower mesoporosity of ZSM-5 results another unidentified product beside methanol. These result show that the product selectivity of partial oxidation of methane could be determined by tuning the mesoporosity of ZSM-5 as catalyst."

"Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) is one of the waste products of oil palm plantations and has not been optimally used in Riau Province, Sumatera, Indonesia. OPEFB is reduced by incineration, which causes pollution problems. However, the combustion of OPEFB generates ash, which is rich in potassium. Moreover, OPEFB fiber has good strength, low cost, low density, and biodegradability, and it can be used as composite reinforcement. However, the natural fibers in composites have poor compatibility with the matrix and relatively high moisture absorption. Hydrolysis of OPEFB ash creates a base solution that can be utilized in an alkaline treatment process to increase the mechanical properties of natural composites.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of various extracts of OPEFB ash on the tensile strength, flexural strength, and water absorption of an OPEFB fiber-polypropylene composite. The experimental design used was the Response Surface Method-Central Composite Design (RSM-CCD). The results showed that the tensile strength increased with an increase of fiber length and concentration of the OPEFB ash extract solution, but tensile strength decreased with a longer soaking time. Flexural strength increased with an increase in fiber length but decreased with an increase in the concentration of the OPEFB ash extract solution and longer soaking time. Water absorption increased with lower and higher concentrations of OPEFB ash extract solution and fiber length and with shorter and longer soaking times. The highest tensile strength (20.100 MPa) was achieved at 5%wt alkaline concentration, 36 h soaking time, and 3 cm fiber length. The highest flexural strength (30.216 MPa) was achieved at 5%wt alkaline concentration, 12 h soaking time, and 3 cm fiber length. The lowest water absorption (0.324%) was achieved at 10%wt alkaline concentration, 24 h soaking time, and 2 cm fiber length."

The demand for domestic plastics in Indonesia continues to increase, while organic waste such as Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) presents potential as a raw material for Wood Polymer Composite (WPC) based on recycled polyethylene (rPE). This study examines the effects of alkali treatment and fermentation on the mechanical, chemical, morphological, and thermal properties of EFB as a filler in WPC. The results demonstrate that alkali treatment effectively removes lignin and hemicellulose, producing coarser fiber structures that enhance interaction with the rPE matrix, thereby improving tensile and flexural strength. Fermentation using G. sichuananse bacteria preserves a more crystalline cellulose structure, improving the flexibility and compatibility of fibers with the polymer matrix. Thermal analysis shows that alkali treatment provides the highest thermal stability, with a primary degradation onset at 323.37°C, while fermentation achieves optimal flexural strength and ultimate tensile strength at 10–15% fiber content. With excellent mechanical and thermal performance, WPC based on EFB and rPE holds potential as an environmentally friendly furniture material, offering an innovative solution for managing plastic and organic waste in Indonesia."
