Abstract
Mesophase pitch, which can be produced from vacuum residue (VR), may be used as precursor in activated carbon (AC) production process. VR still lacks of utilization and ends up as waste. VR has the potential to be used as a feedstock because of its low cost and contains aromatics and aliphatic subtituents. Gum rosin may be added in the production of mesophase pitch because of its conjugated double bond carbon content. In the present study, co-pyrolysis occurs in a stirred tank reactor at temperature about 450℃ with heating rate of 5oC/minute and hold for 120 minutes. The amount of gum rosin mixed with VR was varied 0, 5, 10 and 15% wt of VR. The precursor products had C/H mole ratio of about 2.43, 2.37, 2.28, and 2.01. This precursor underwent carbonization at at 700℃ with heating rate 5oC/minute and holding time for 120 minutes at 700oC under N2 flow. KOH was used as activating agent to precursor of activated carbon. Activated carbon gave surface area that increase as addition of gum rosin and rasio C/H deacreasing.

Abstract
It is known that the optimal value in anaerobic microbial metabolism is best achieved at a C / N ratio range of 20 to 30. However, protein content use is also widely known for its significant impact in increasing the production of methane gas. Vegetables comparably contain higher amount of protein than cow dung waste, thus it is very potential to be used as the feed of biogas digester. The protein content of cow dung waste of 0.73 gr /100 gr is relatively very low compared to cauliflower, cabbage and mustard greens in which each of which are 5gr /100 gr, 6gr/100 gr, and 2.9gr /100 gr respectively. The method used in this study is the utilization of F2 -EM-4 microorganism activator and low concentration of NaOH mixture in the pretreatment process of vegetable waste feed which aim to increase the C / N ratio meanwhile maintain the protein content itself. The feed mixture of cabbage, cauliflower, and lettuce leftovers is mixed in an optimum C / N composition until it nearly resembles the propotion of the cow dung waste C / N composition. Finally, the addition of GP-7 microorganism activator during the methanogenesis process stage shows satisfying results. Regardless the retention time which takes 10% longer than the process without vegetables waste, the methane gas amount produced in this study is proportional to the one from cow dung waste only.

Abstract
The development of alternative energy sources from renewable natural resources has been carried out regulerly. One of the alternatives is the utilization of agricultural waste such as rice husk to produce bioethanol. However the cellulose content in rice husk is blocked by complex lignoseulosic matrices such as lignin which will disrupt the hydrolysis process. The pretreatment is needed to break the bond. In this study, pretreatment was carried out using the Aqueous Ammonia Soaking (AAS) and dilute acid methods with various ammonia concentration and temperature of pretreatment. The composition of rice husk was analyzed using Chesson methods. Three series of works were carried out, namely pretreatment, hydrolysis and fermentation. Pretreatment was carried out with various concentration of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 % (v/v) and temperature of 60, 70, 80 90, 100 oC. The highest cellulose content was about 57.94% at ammonia concentration of 20% (v/v) and a temperature of 100 oC. Furthermore, enzymatic hydrolysis produced the highest glucose of about 24.1774 ppm and bioethanol of 11,21%.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide contributed great amount of Green House Gas (GHG) emission. Solid adsorption is one of the way to ease carbon dioxide emission. The effectiveness of CO2 adsorption by solid K2CO3/rice husk in fixed bed column by evaluated adsorption capacity, breakpoint time and length of effective bed height/HB were investigated. K2CO3 used as adsorbent and rice husk as support. The K2CO3 adsorption occurred at fixed bed column under mild condition. The CO2 inlet and outlet concentration were analysed by acid-base titration. The highest adsorption capacity by K2CO3/rice husk is 0.2 mmol/g adsorbent at CO2 inlet flow rate 28 LPM with 50 gr K2CO3. Meanwhile, the highest breakpoint time is 685.5 second which at CO2 flow rate 15.9 LPM and K2CO3 adsorbent 50 gr. Perhaps, variation of CO2 flow rate and amount of adsorbent do not affect CO2 adsorption capacity significantly.

Abstract
Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engines. Used cooking oil is blended with diesel with a certain volume ratio to improve the characteristics. The characteristics of biodiesel can not be fully used by diesel engines because it doesn-t meet the standards so that its characteristics need to be improved. As for utilizing it, it must be blended with diesel oil. The purpose of this study is to improve the physical and chemical properties of biodiesel, knowing the percentage of biodiesel volume from used cooking oil with diesel oil so that it can be known the optimal ratio of biodiesel with diesel oil which is close to diesel fuel specifications. Characteristics as variables in this paper are density, kinematic viscosity, pour point, and flash point of the specified mixture. The results show that the kinematic viscosity and density of the biodiesel-diesel mixture increase as the biodiesel mixture increases. Mixtures with higher biodiesel content have higher flash points. Mixing diesel with used cooking oil biodiesel may be of no use compared to diesel, but it can help in adjusting the viscosity, density, pour point, and flash point values according to applicable regulations

Abstract
The modified-polyurethane-foam adsorbents for mercury adsorption can typically reduce the potential impact of mercury pollution. This study aims to investigate the essential characteristics of adsorbents, made of castor oil, methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, glycerol, merely modified by zeolite and bentonite addition. Polyurethane foam with optimum performance is further characterized to find out its physical and chemical properties including: functional groups (FTIR), surface morphology (SEM) and specific area (BET). The FTIR characterization show that polyurethane foams without necessary modification typically contains a C = O group as its typical group scientifically shown by its specific wavelength (1654–1516 cm-1, 1680–1514 cm-1, and 1593–1516 cm-1). The modified-polyurethane foam properly contains a C = CH group with a typical wavelength of 3008 cm-1 with zeolite addition. It also shows the visible wavelength of 3007 cm-1 with bentonite addition. The SEM characterization show that zeolite-modified-polyurethane foam properly maintains a smooth and flat structure with small pores, whereas polyurethane foam with bentonite typically has an irregular particle shape. The obtained BET area for sample 60% zeolite, 50% MDI and 40% gliserol is precisely 2.8257 m2/g. Whereas for the narrowest BET area in sample 40% zeolite, MDI 50%, and gliserol 60% is merely 0.773 m2/g.

Abstract
Flame pyrolysis is widely used for fabrication of nanoparticles due to high crystallinity and narrow size distribution of the products. In this study, ZnO-Ag nanocomposite materials have been successfully fabricated by a flame pyrolysis. The effects of Ag loading ranging from 0 to 20 wt% in the ZnO-Ag nanocomposites on the photocatalytic activity under UV and sunlight irradiations were also studied. ZnO and Ag nanoparticles were synthesized based on zinc acetate dihydrate 0.1 M and silver nitrate inside a flame reactor. Morphologies and crystallinity of ZnO-Ag nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). SEM analysis showed that nanoparticles have irregular sphere-like shapes. The XRD patterns indicated that the produced ZnO had a wurtzite structure with varying crystallite sizes. XRD analysis also confirmed the existence of Ag nanoparticles in ZnO-Ag nanocomposites when the concentration of Ag as much as 5 wt% indicated by the appearance of XRD peak at 38.1º. The peak at 38.1º increased with the increase of Ag content. Finally, the photocatalytic activity was evaluated by measuring the degradation of methylene blue aqueous solution under UV and sunlight irradiations. It showed that the best photocatalytic performance was obtained at 5 wt% Ag content for both irradiations.

This rice bran can be processed into edible oil, but too high a level of FFA can disrupt the quality of crude rice bran oil as it causes a rancid odor. Deasidification is a process to eliminate high levels of Free Fatty Acid (FFA) in crude rice bran oil (CRBO). There is a biological deasidification process using enzymes, but enzymes are still considered too expensive to use. The chemical and physical deasidification process is a commonly used process. The chemical deasidification method is carried out by adding alkaline solutions to oils containing low FFA with the advantage of leaving FFA of 0.5-2%, but can significantly eliminate the content of neutral oils and bioactive components such as oryzanol. Physical deasidification using distillation requires high energy, although the results obtained are quite good. Another physical deasidification method being developed is liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) which can minimize energy consumption levels and lose bioactive components. Physically deasidification using the liquid-liquid extraction method will be applied in this study using green solvents which are non-toxic, non-volatile, non-flammable, recyclable. The green solvent used is Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) from Choline Chloride - Ethylene Glycol with a ratio of 1: 2 molar ratio and Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent (NADES) from Betaine Monohydrate - Glycerol with a 1: 8 molar ratio. The purpose of this study is to study the DDRBO deasidification process using DES and NADES in single extraction and multiple extraction, the effect of DES and NADES on the rate of FFA and recovery γ-oryzanol at each stage, and the effect of initial FFA levels (5%, 10%, 20 %, 30%, 40% and 60%) of using DES and NADES in eliminating FFA. Rice bran oil containing the initial FFA content will be mixed with a solvent then stirred while heated at 50oC for 240 minutes. The results obtained at each stage were tested using saponification value analysis and gas chromatrography mass spectrophotometry analysis to determine the level of FFA in oil, as well as UV-Visible Spectrophotometer to determine oryzanol levels in oil. With the deasidification process in this study, FFA in CRBO can be completely removed without disturbing the composition of bioactive components using the method of liquid-liquid extraction multi extraction with green solvent which is safer for the environment.

Abstract
Molasses, Stillage or vinasse and Spent wash (bottom product of distillation column) are large liquid wastes production in the bioethanol industry that contain high sulfur. The liquid wastes with high sulfur contain are dangerous if it discharges directly into the environment without pretreatment. For this reason, pretreatment is needed to reduced the sulfur concentration of liquid waste (molasses) using biofiltration method. The objective of this research is to eliminate the content of H2S or sulfur in the wastewater of the bioethanol industry (molasses) by using aerobic bacteria such as Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans dan Pseudomonas putida. The method of this experimental work used biofiltration which are attached on wood chips or bagasse packing by aerobic bacterial to form biofilms in the reactor. The process in this study was conducted in two steps. The first step was carried out by sulfur oxidizing bacteria such as Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and Pseudomonas putida with a concentration of 10% and 20% (v/v) that growth on packing to form biofilms in the reactor for 13 days. Furthermore, as the second step the bacteria degraded H2S content of liquid waste with attached bacteria on packing for 15 days in biofiltration reactor. From the preliminary results of this study, reactor with 10% (v/v) A. thiooxidans on wood chips packing and 3% (v/v) concentration molasses waste can degraded H2S from 4.35 mg/L to 1.55 mg/L (64.37% removal efficiency) and for reactor with 20% (v/v) A. thiooxidans can degraded H2S from 4.35 mg/L to 1.16 mg/L (73.33% removal efficiency). Meanwhile, reactor with 10% (v/v) Pseudomonas putida can degraded H2S from 4.35 mg/L to 1.94 mg/L (55.40% removal efficiency) and for reactor with 20% (v/v) Pseudomonas putida can degraded H2S from 4.35 mg/L to 1.47 mg/L (66.21% removal efficiency).

Abstract
CO2 Injection is one of Enhanced Oil Recovery methods that developed to contribute to decrease global warming issues and to improve oil recovery. The aim of this research is to determine the influence of increasing CO2 volume injection on reservoir characteristic fluid. This research was conducted by laboratory experiment. Samples used to analyse were come from Beta field in Tuban Formation. This research was conducted into three steps, there were determination of Minimum Miscible Pressure of CO2, determination of PVT fluid composition, and determination of CO2 injection to fluid characteristic that include viscosity and swelling oil. From the experimental, yield the minimum miscible pressure of CO2 injection for Beta field is 2800 Psig. By increasing 10% volume CO2 injection, oil recovery was increased due to increase CO2 solubility. The swelling effect due to dissolved CO2 also led to changes in viscosity for Beta field is 0.588 to 0.541 cp. In addition, percentage of CO2 composition increase 30% from the original since CO2 injection due to solubility CO2 into hydrocarbon fluid. This research can be concluded that by increasing of volume CO2 injection into miscible displacement can affect in changes of fluid characteristic reservoir and improve oil recovery.

Abstract
Indonesia possesses high potential to develop an advanced biorefinery system, thanks to its high richness of natural resources. Bamboo for instance, with more than 200 species, in which 5% of its global distribution is found in Indonesian archipelago, is an invaluable resource to develop many useful materials. Here in this study, bamboo has been used to produce activated carbon for catalyst material. Bamboo raw material was obtained from a city park in Surabaya, and converted to activated carbon through carbonization at 773 K, followed by activation using acidic solution treatments. The activated carbon (AC) was used as catalyst support, impregnated by nickel (Ni) as metal active. The Ni/AC was applied as catalyst for hydrogenation of glucose, conducted at 0.5 MPa and 363 – 403 K. With surface area of 125 m2/g of the carbon supported catalyst applied, glucose could be converted to polyols with overall yield of approximately 3 wt % of the total products.

Abstract
The use of surfactant in chemical flooding techniques to increase the oil production has been investigated for several decades. However, the injection of surfactant is potential to be lost during the process due to the adsorption of surfactant into the core. It is therefore crucial to analyzed the concentration of surfactant before and after injection to the core. Many methods are developed for determining the content of surfactant using UV-Vis Spectrophotometer by utilizing the chromophore group of the chemical. However, for the analysis of a molecule that lack of this colour function, need to be developed using other techniques, such as mobile 1H NMR measurement. In this study, quantification of nonionic surfactant that absent of chromophore group was performed using a combination of mobile 1H NMR with Solid Phase Extraction (SPE). SPE was used to extract the samples that dissolved in water, whereas 1H NMR was used to identify the levels of nonionic surfactants that dissolved in deuterized solvents. Internal standard chemical was added to the sample to verify the concentration of samples. As a stationaty phase was SPE C-18 and eluent was methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane. Furthermore, the SPE results were measured using mobile 1H NMR 43 MHz with selected solvents namely deuterized chlorophome (CDCl3) and internal standard Dimethyl Formamide (DMF). Optimization results for determination of surfactant concentration up to 0.5% w/w was using the C-18 stationary phase, mobile phase methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane.
