Abstrak- Pemanfaatan  plastik tiap tahun meningkat karena berbagai keuntungan seperti harga produksi yang murah, ringan, besifat isolator sehingga digunakan di berbagai bidang industri dan rumah tangga. Plastik Jenis Polypropilene paling banyak digunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari karena memiliki sifat mekanis yang baik dengan massa jenis yang rendah, ketahanan panas dan kelembaban, serta memiliki kestabilan dimensi yang baik. Disamping manfaatnya dampak yang ditimbulkan dapat merusak linkungan karena sulit terurai dalam tanah dan dapat menyebabkan banjir apabila di atas permukaan tanah. Seiring dengan dampak yang ditimbulkan kebutuhan akan bahan bakar semakin meningkat sedangkan sumber bahan bakar yang kita gunakan tidak dapat diperbaharui (non reversible), sehingga penelitian ini bertujuan memanfaatkan sampah plastik menjadi bahan bakar dengan menspesifikasikan dan menganalisa kualitas produk bahan bakar dari plastik jenis polypropilene.

This study investigates the composition and fuel parameters of a fuel blend of aqueous ethanol and gasoline, with RONs (Research Octane Numbers) of 90 and 92, called pertalite and pertamax in Indonesia, respectively. The emulsion fuel blend of gasoline and ethanol was prepared successfully, and the concentrations ranged from 80 to 98% (v/v). The steps employed in this work are as follows: first, the fermentation of sugar tapped from a palm tree (Arenga pinnata). The obtained liquor containing ethanol was distilled using a reflux still to separate ethanol and water. The purity of the ethanol obtained from the reflux process ranged from 80 to 96%, depending on the column temperature set. Ethanol solutions of 97 and 98% purities were obtained through an absorption method employing lime particles. Subsequently, aqueous ethanol was blended with gasoline manually inside a flask. It was discovered that the minimum ethanol concentration, which could be blended with pertalite to form a single-phase substance, was 80%. By using 80% ethanol in the blending process, the composition ratio of pertalite, pure ethanol, and water was recorded as 1:11.65:2.91 (in volume unit), while this was not the case with pertamax. The minimum ethanol concentration that could be blended with pertamax to form a single-phase emulsion was 88%, with a composition ratio of 1:5.91:0.81. The composition proportions of the three components with 96% ethanol were 1:0.27:0.01 (RON 90) and 1:0.41:0.02 (RON 92). It was observed that the higher the ethanol concentration, the less the amount of ethanol required for the blending process with gasoline to form a single-phase emulsion.

This work aims at preparing the blended fuels in a stable emulsion in which the biodiesel was obtained from palm oil with applying the near isochoric subcritical trans-esterification. The work procedures are the following: the preparation chemicals needed; the synthesis of the biodiesel; POME (palm oil methyl ester) analysis; the blending process of the aqueous ethanol-biodiesel (Aq.Et-BD) and ethanol-diesel-biodiesel (Aq.Et-BD-D) whereby they formed in a stable emulsion. It was obtained that the compositions of water, ethanol, and biodiesel using ethanol 94-97% were ranged from 0.69-1.60, 10.74-38.40, and 69.57-88.57%. By employing ethanol with concentration 94-95%, the emulsion appeared many droplets distributed throughout the substance. It was observed by increasing biodiesel composition after a stable emulsion attained the phase did not change. After emulsions blended, the work was proceeded with the measurement of the fuel parameters such as density, SG, API, RPV, flash and pour points, cetane number, and distillation properties.

The biodiesel blended with aqueous ethanol and diesel was successfully prepared to employ a near isochoric subcritical in which methyl esters were derived from coconut oils. Procedures are as follows: Fermentation of Arenga pinnata sap, a distillation of ethanol using a reflux column, preparation of biodiesel, characterization of biodiesel by GC/MS, blending of aqueous ethanol-biodiesel and aqueous ethanol-dieselbiodiesel, measurement of composition, and analysis of fuel parameters with ASTM standard. The maximum yields of biodiesel obtained were 98.82 % (v/v) and 96.67 % (w/w). The coconut oil methyl esters (COME) degraded from triglycerides were dominated by the short carbon chains, such as C9H18O2, C11H22O2, C13H26O2, C15H30O2, and C17H34O2. It was found that the aqueous ethanol-biodiesel and aqueous ethanol-biodieseldiesel formed an equilibrium line in a triangular graph in specific compositions. The aqueous ethanol concentrations using in the present work were 94-97 %. Components pure ethanol-biodiesel-water, which were in the stable blends, had a

Many countries worldwide encounter the greatest difficulties in improving people's life quality since fossil fuel reserves are decreasing, causing fuel prices to rise drastically. This problem has made many countries, including Indonesia, struggle to import them from producers in the Middle East. Adding a small part of ethanol to gasoline is one of the solutions that has been investigated and developed. The previous works relating to blended fuels, gasoline and ethanol, generally employed absolute alcohol, which was expensive. A small surfactant was added to the mixture to stabilize the emulsion, and the blending was conducted in normal conditions (room temperature). If the composition of gasoline and aqueous ethanol is not precise, the components can be separated at a specific temperature. The present study is aimed to report the analysis of compositions and fuel specifications of aqueous emulsions of gasoline (RON 90)-ethanol-water in a single phase without using a synthetic surfactant in the temperature range of 0–25 °C. The procedures were as follows: fermentation, ethanol distillation and purification, cooling, blending, and characterization of fuel specifications. Components of gasoline (RON 90)-ethanol-water formed a stable emulsion in the composition range of 28.00‒99.79 %, 0.20‒67.97 %, and 0.01‒3.58 %. The observation found that continually increasing the amount of aqueous ethanol and temperature after one phase was attained would not lead to the separation of components. Therefore, gasoline and aqueous ethanol can form a single phase functioning as a surfactant binding water and fossil fuel. The decrease in temperature after the emulsion is stabilized can separate the components whereby it is caused by the faster density change of aqueous ethanol than gasoline
