Sebagian besar dari energi di seluruh dunia dan produk material berasal dari kilang bahan bakar fosil. Ketergantungan yang kuat pada bahan bakar fosil berasal dari penggunaan intensif dan konsumsi turunan minyak bumi yang dikombinasikan dengan sumber daya minyak yang semakin berkurang, menyebabkan masalah lingkungan dan politik. Karena kenaikan harga sumber daya fosil yang berkelanjutan, ketersediaannya yang tidak menentu, dan masalah lingkungan mereka, solusi alternatif yang dapat memitigasi perubahan iklim dan mengurangi konsumsi bahan bakar fosil harus dipromosikan. Penggantian minyak dengan biomassa sebagai bahan baku untuk bahan bakar dan produksi kimia merupakan pilihan yang menarik dan merupakan kekuatan pendorong untuk pengembangan kompleks biorefinery. Hampir semua jenis bahan baku biomassa dapat dikonversi ke kelas biofuel dan biokimia yang berbeda melalui teknologi konversi yang diterapkan bersama. Asam suksinat adalah produk sampingan yang memiliki minat khusus pada biorefineries karena berpotensi menggantikan bahan kimia dan prekursor polimer yang berasal dari minyak bumi untuk berbagai aplikasi. Namun, produksi dari hidrolisat yang diturunkan dari biomassa belum sepenuhnya dieksplorasi atau dikembangkan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi dan memodifikasi metode pretreatment untuk mendapatkan kandungan Selulosa & Hemiselulosa dalam jumlah tinggi dan kadar Lignin yang rendah dari bahan baku Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit yang telah diuji coba sebelumnya. Menambahkan prosesor ultrasonik untuk membantu proses dan mencari tahu bagaimana variasi waktu yang berbeda mempengaruhi konten EFB. Variasi pretreatment berkinerja terbaik dalam percobaan ini adalah pretreatment berbantuan ultrasonik asam perasetat 3 jam dan pretreatment berbantuan ultrasonik berbantuan alkali peroksida 10 jam menghasilkan 14,1% Hemiselulosa, 77,3% Selulosa, dan 8,6% Lignin. ......A great fraction of worldwide energy carriers and material products come from fossil fuel refinery. Our strong dependence on fossil fuels comes from the intensive use and consumption of petroleum derivatives which, combined with diminishing petroleum resources, causes environmental and political concerns. Because of the ongoing price increase of fossil resources, their uncertain availability, and their environmental concerns, alternative solutions able to mitigate climate change and reduce the consumption of fossil fuels should be promoted. The replacement of oil with biomass as raw material for fuel and chemical production is an interesting option and is the driving force for the development of biorefinery complexes. Almost all the types of biomass feedstocks can be converted to different classes of biofuels and biochemicals through jointly applied conversion technologies. Succinic acid is a co-product of particular interest in biorefineries because it could potentially displace petroleum-derived chemicals and polymer precursors for myriad applications. However, production from biomass-derived hydrolysates has not yet been fully explored or developed. The aim of the research is to explore and modify pretreatment method to gain high amount of Cellulose & Hemicellulose content and low amount of Lignin content from raw material of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch that has been previously experimented. Adding ultrasonic processor to aid the process and find out how different time variation affect the EFB content. The best performing pretreatment variation in this experiment is the 3 hour peracetic acid ultrasonic-assisted pretreatment and 10 hour of Alkaline peroxide ultrasonic-assisted pretreatment yielding 14,1% Hemicellulose, 77,3% Cellulose, and 8,6% Lignin.

Vanilin dapat diperoleh dari lignin yang berasal dari biomassa lignoselulosa seperti tandan kosong kelapa sawit (TKKS) melalui reaksi depolimerisasi. Lignin dari tandan kosong kelapa sawit dapat diperoleh melalui proses isolasi dimana dilakukan proses delignifikasi untuk memperoleh black liquor. Pengendapan black liquor dengan asam sulfat menghasilkan lignin dengan kadar acid insoluble lignin (AIL) sebesar 19%. Reaksi depolimerisasi lignin dapat berlangsung pada temperatur 200oC dengan adanya katalis zeolit NaY yang telah dimodifikasi menjadi HY dan diimpregnasi dengan nikel oksida (NiO/HY). Hasil analisa produk hasil depolimerisasi menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan katalis zeolit Y dari bahan sintetik menujukkan % yield yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan katalis zeolit Y dari bahan alam. Selain itu, penambahan nikel oksida pada zeolit HY menyebabkan dihasilkannya % yield vanilin yang lebih tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan zeolit HY tanpa impregnasi. Zeolit NaY berbasis bahan alam dibuat dari kaolin sebagai sumber silika dan alumina. Sumber silika berasal dari metakaolin yang merupakan hasil pemanasan kaolin pada suhu tinggi. Sedangkan sumber alumina berasal dari silika ekstraksi yang merupakan hasil dari ektraksi kaolin. Metode sintesis NaY alam yang diadaptasi dari metode Khemthong menggunakan seed gel dan feed stock gel dimana dilakukan proses ageing selama 1 hari untuk keberhasilan proses sintesis.

Vanilin can be obtained from lignin derived from lignocellulose biomass such as oil palm empty bunches (OPEFB) through depolymerization reactions. Lignin from oil palm empty bunches can be obtained through an isolation process where a delignification process is carried out to obtain black liquor. Precipitation of black liquor with sulfuric acid produces lignin with an acid insoluble lignin (AIL) level of 19%. The lignin depolymerization reaction can take place at a temperature of 200oC in the presence of a modified NaY zeolite catalyst into HY and impregnated with nickel oxide (NiO / HY). The results of the depolymerization product analysis showed that the use of Y zeolite catalyst from synthetic materials showed a higher yield% compared to natural zeolite Y catalysts. In addition, the addition of nickel oxide to HY zeolite caused higher yield of vanillin yield compared to HY zeolite without impregnation. Natural material based NaY zeolite was made from kaolin as a source of silica and alumina. The source of silica comes from metakaolin which is the result of heating kaolin at high temperatures. While the alumina source comes from extraction silica which is the result of kaolin extraction. Natural NaY synthesis method adapted from the Khemthong method uses seed gel and feed stock gel where the aging process is carried out for 1 day for the success of the synthesis process.

Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit (TKKS) merupakan limbah hasil pengolahan kelapa sawit yang mengandung lignoselulosa yang terdiri dari 55,75% selulosa, 28,93% hemiselulosa dan 15,32% lignin. Secara kimawi, selulosa terikat dengan hemiselulosa dan lignin sehingga diperlukan delignifikasi untuk memisahkan selulosa dari komponen lignoselulosa lainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan α-selulosa dari TKKS melalui proses delignifikasi dengan DES (Deep Eutectic Solvent), mendapatkan informasi mengenai pengaruh pretreatment asam oksalat dan natrium hidroksida, penambahan air, dan penggunaan Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) pada proses delignifikasi. Pelarut DES pada penelitian ini menggunakan Hydrogen Bond Acceptor (HBA), yaitu; kolin klorida (ChCl) dan Hydrogen Bond Donor (HBD), yaitu asam laktat, urea, gliserol, dan asam oksalat yang dikombinasikan pada rasio molar HBA dan HBD 1:1, 1:2, dan 1:3. Analisis kuantitatif dilakukan dengan metode Wet Chemistry dan Chesson-Data. Identifikasi α-selulosa dilakukan dengan pengamatan organoleptis, analisis Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kadar α-selulosa tertinggi, yaitu 89,16% diperoleh dari delignifikasi menggunakan ChCl:asam laktat (1:1) dengan penambahan air 15%. Waktu optimal pada penggunaan UAE adalah 30 menit dengan kadar α-selulosa 92,96%. α-selulosa yang dihasilkan berwarna kuning pucat dengan karakteristik yang mirip dengan standar sehingga TKKS berpotensi untuk dikembangkan lebih lanjut sebagai eksipien sediaan farmasi. ......Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) is a waste generated from palm oil processing that contains lignocellulosic biomass, which consists of 55.75% cellulose, 28.93% hemicellulose and 15.32% lignin. Chemically, cellulose is bound to hemicellulose and lignin so that delignification is needed to separate cellulose from other lignocellulosic components. This study aims to obtain α-cellulose from OPEFB through the delignification process of DES (Deep Eutectic Solvent), to find out information about the effect of oxalic acid and sodium hydroxide pretreatment, the addition of water, and the use of Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE).

Karet alam dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan baku dalam pembuatan ban kendaraan bermotor. Beberapa material seperti carbon black dan silika ditambahkan untuk meningkatkan kekuatan produk karet alam. Namun industri di Indonesia harus mengimpor carbon black dan silika dari luar negeri, kekurangan lainnya adalah memiliki dampak bagi lingkungan karena material tersebut sulit terurai. Material biomassa berupa serat alam tandan kosong kelapa sawit mampu menggantikan carbon black dan silika sebagai produk karet alam. Namun terdapat perbedaan sifat antara karet alam (hidrofobik) dengan serat alam TKKS (hidrofilik). Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan suatu media berupa coupling agent hibrida karet alam selulosa untuk menyatukan karet alam dengan serat TKKS. Pada penelitian ini digunakan variasi coupling agent sebanyak 0, 1, 2 dan 3 phr dan variasi serat TKKS 5, 10 dan 15 phr untuk mengetahui kompatibilitas, morfologi dan temperatur degradasi dari produk komposit karet alam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penggunaan coupling agent dapat meningkatkan kompatibilitas dan temperatur degradasi produk komposit karet alam yang semula 376oC menjadi 388oC pada pemakaian coupling agent sebanyak 3 phr. Sementara penggunaan serat TKKS meningkatkan temperatur degradasi produk komposit karet alam yang semula 382oC menjadi 389oC pada pemakaian serat TKKS sebanyak 15 phr. ......Natural rubber used as raw material in the manufacture of tires. Carbon black and silica are added to improve the strength of natural rubber products. Industry in Indonesia must import carbon black and silica, another disadvantage is carbon black and silica difficult to decompose, so the environment has an impact. Biomass material form of natural fiber empty fruit bunch can replace carbon black and silica as natural rubber products. But there are differences in the nature between natural rubber (hydrophobic) and natural fiber TKKS (hydrophilic). Therefore cellulose natural rubber hybrid coupling agent needed to connect natural rubber with OPEFB fiber. In this study used variations of coupling agent 0, 1, 2 and 3 phr and variations in OPEFB fiber 5, 10, 15 phr to determine compatibility, morphology and degradation temperature of natural rubber composite products. The results showed that the use of coupling agents can improve compatibility and the degradation temperature of natural rubber composite products from 376oC to 388oC in the use of 3 phr coupling agents. While the use of OPEFB fiber increases the degradation temperature of natural rubber composite products from 382oC to 389oC on the use of 15 phr TKKS fibers.

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.

Indonesia merupakan negara dengan produksi karet terbesar kedua didunia. Bahan baku karet paling banyak digunakan umumnya pada industri otomotif khususnya aplikasi ban kendaraan. Ban diharuskan memiliki sifat mekanik yang tinggi pada aplikasinya. Penambahan pengisi umum dipakai untuk meningkatkan sifat mekanik pada aplikasi kompon ban. Pengisi yang umum dipakai ialah karbon hitam dan silika namun terkendala pada biaya yang mahal pada material tersebut. Serat Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit(TKKS) berpotensi menjadi salah satu pengisi alternatif. Namun, Sifat permukaan serat TKKS yang sangat polar menjadi kendala dalam kompatibilitasnya terhadap karet alam yang non polar sehingga diperlukan coupling agent dalam aplikasinya. Hibrida karet alam-selulosa dapat menjadi agen pengikat antara karet alam dengan serat TKKS. Akan tetapi dalam pemrosesan karet setiap zat yang ditambahkan akan mempengaruhi proses vulkanisasi. Investigasi perilaku alir dari proses vulkanisasi dan kompatibilitas karet alam-serat TKKS yang ditambahkan coupling agent karet alam selulosa telah dilakukan. Hasil menunjukan penambahan coupling agent meningkatkan absorpsi ikatan hidrogen O-H serta menurunkan fiber pull-out dan meningkatkan distribusi dan dispersi serat. Perilaku alir menunjukan peningkatan torsi maksimum serta penurunan waktu scorch dan waktu optimal pematangan serta didapatkan optimum pada pemakaian suhu vulkanisasi 150°C dan coupling agent karet alam-selulosa sebesar 2 phr. Nilai konstanta laju reaksi menunjukkan kenaikan serta energi aktivasi mengalami penurunan terhadap temperatur dan komposisi coupling agent karet alam-selulosa. ......Indonesia is the second largest natural rubber producer in the world. Raw material of natural rubber found most of its application in automotive industries espesially the main material of vehicle tires. The tires require good mechanical properties in its application. Addition of filler is a common method to enhance the mechanical strength in rubber mostly utilizing carbon black and silica. Another alternative is by using oil palm empty fruit bunch(OPEFB) as the filler. However, OPEFB has a polar characteristic on its surface, thus reducing its compatibilty with natural rubber significantly. Natural rubber-cellulose hybrid shows possibility to be utilized. However, in processing rubber, each added substance will affect the vulcanization process. Investigation of flow behavior of the vulcanization process and compatibility of natural rubber-fiber OPEFB which was added to the narutral rubber grafted cellulose coupling agent was carried out. The results show that the addition of coupling agents increases the absorption of O-H hydrogen bonds and lowers fiber pull-out and increases fiber dispersion. Flow behavior showed an increase in maximum torque and a decrease in scorch time and optimal maturation time and was obtained optimum at the use of 150°C vulcanization temperature and latex-cellulose coupling agent of 2 phr. The value of the reaction rate constant increase and the activation energy decreases with temperature and the composition of the latex-cellulose coupling agent.
