Limbah cair industri pelapisan logam berasal dari hasil pembilasan pada proses pelapisan dengan Chrome, masih banyak terkandung zat berbahaya apabila langsung dibuang kelingkungan. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan pengolahan lebih lanjut dengan menggunakan elektrokoagulasi. Metode ini memiliki potensi penjernihan limbah cair pelapisan logam dan penurunan kandungan logam yang terkandung tanpa adanya penambahan koagulan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui penerapan metoda elektrokoagulasi untuk menetralkan pH, serta menurunkan kadar TSS dan Cr pada limbah dan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perubahan laju alir dan kuat arus untuk menetralkan pH, serta menurunkan kadar TSS dan Cr pada limbah. Parameter yang diuji meliputi pH, TSS (Total Suspended Solid), dan Cr. Proses elektrokoagulasi menggunakan listrik searah melalui elektroda. Reaktor elektrokoagulasi yang dipasangkan kabel ke power suplay kemudian disambungkan ke arus listrik dengan variasi kuat arus (1,2 ; 1,6 ; dan 2 A) dan variasi laju alir (0,78 ; 1,32 ; 2,7 L/menit). Hasil penelitian didapat kondisi optimum pada kuat arus 2 A dan laju alir 0,78 L/menit dengan kenaikan pH dari 4,5 menjadi 6,6, penurunan TSS dari 3,2 menjadi 1,2 mg/L, penurunan Cr sebesar 82,4 % dari 1,5 mg/L menjadi 0,263 mg/L.
Bioplastic or biodegradable plastics are polymers that are composed of organic monomers found in starch and cellulose. The purpose of this research is to make bioplastics with use of raw material starch cassava and cellulose filler pineapple leaves, by varying the speed of stirring and the number of fillers, as well as knowing the nature of the bioplastic mechanics (Modulus Young, Elogenasi , Strong tensile), biodegradability, morphology and site. The methods on this research started from the preparation of raw materials, the manufacture of cellulose pineapple, the manufacture of cassava starch and the manufacture of bioplastics. The concentration of fillers used in the study was 0.3 grams, 0.6 grams, 0.9 grams, 1.2 grams and 1.5 grams in every 10 grams of starch, stirring variations of 200 rpm and 300 rpm. And obtained the best results in this study is bioplastic which has a strong tensile 13.24 Mpa, elongation 5.16%, modulus young 1072.83 Mpa, biodegrability of the land for 7 days, site 33.33%, obtained at a concentration of 1.5 grams cellulose and pineapple Stirring 300 rpm.
The most widely used surfactant is an anionic surfactant which is synthesized from petroleum namely Linear Alkylbenzene sulphonate (LABS). Methyl Ester Sulfonate which is currently being developed. Surfactant can produced from palm oil methyl ester via sulfonation sulfonate. When in this research using sodium metabisulphite. The aims of this work is to synthesize Methyl Ester Sulfonate surfactant from Palm Oil Methyl Ester using Sodium Metabisulphite and a catalyst Calcium Oxide. The effects of time and the mole ratio are also investigated. Sulfonation process carried out in 4, 5, 6 hours with mole ratio of 1: 0,5, 1:1, 1: 1,5, temperature of 80° C and with stirring speed of 450 rpm. It haven been found that the surfactant produced has density of (0.89490 g/cm 3 -0.89545 g/cm 3 ), viscosity (2.0323 cP -2.1329 cP), pH (2,03 -2,48), surface tension (32.60 mN/m -33.60 mN/m), interfacial tension (30.45 mN/m -30.94 mN/m), and the stability emulsion (59.17% -89, 17%).
The tofu factory located in Pangkalan Kerinci, Pelalawan District, produces 1 m3 of liquid waste every day and are immediately disposed of without going throught the processing before release to environment. The analysis shows that the liquid waste is not in accordance with Permen LH No. 5 2014. This will deerease the oxygen level in the water. The purpose of this study was to determine reduce levels of TSS, BOD and pH with plate thicknes and prosesing time. Neutralization of liquid waste of tofu industry. The electrocoagulation method was used to reduce BOD, TSS and neutralize pH by varying the time, plate thickness. The conclusions obtained are: (1) Time variation (20, 40 and 60 minutes), and effective time is 60 minutes, current strength of 0.6 A decreases 72% BOD concentration, TSS 69.9% and pH becomes 6.01. (2) Variation in plate thickness (0.5; 1.0 and 1.5 mm), and effective plate thickness of 1 mm at 60 minutes can reduce BOD concentration 73.14%, TSS 68.78%, pH becomes 6.83. The results of the research obtained are in accordance with Permen LH No.5 of 2014.
