Abstract:West Nusa Tenggara is a center of sea oyster farming for Pinctada maxima in Indonesia. The calcium carbonate (CaCO3) compounds in the shell are one of the decomposed natural minerals to produce calcium oxide (CaO) compound which is able to be used as an alternative heterogeneous catalyst in nanometer scale. This research aims to discover the control factors which influence the production process of nanometer-scaled CaO heterogeneous catalyst and choose the best condition in its production process with a better… Show more
“…From chemicals, nano-CaCO 3 can be produced from CaO Adnyani et al (2020) andCaCl2 Xing et al (2020). From natural resources, nano-CaCO 3 can be produced from materials that contain CaCO 3 such as eggshells Mosaddegh et al (2013), clamshells Widyastuti & Intan Ayu Kusuma (2017), pearl shells Wahyuningsih et al (2019), and rocks Akhwady and Bayuaji (2017). Clamshell (Geloina sp.)…”
The utilization of nano-CaCO3 is currently growing very fast in various fields. The research aims to produce and analyze the properties of nano-CaCO3 from clamshells (Geloina sp.). The production of nan-CaCO3 was done by the top-down process using high-energy milling. The clamshell (Geloina sp.) is the potential resource of nano-CaCO3. The nano-CaCO3 can be produced by the milling process. The main factor that affected the yield is the number of steel balls, while the speed of rotation and number of cycles have a negative effect. The EDX analysis shows that the nano-CaCO3 has high purity. The nano-CaCO3 from clamshell (Geloine sp.) can be applicated as a drug delivery system and catalyst.

“…These studies only use 1 or 2 production parameters that affect the quality of coconut sugar produced. This study improves the quality of coconut sugar by optimizing the production process, which involves several parameters to obtain the best formulation; [13], [14], [15]. The parameters used include the composition of preservative sap, defoaming agent, tapping time, and final cooking temperature.…”
The quality of coconut sugar produced from Indragiri Hilir Regency, Riau Province, is still fluctuating and has not compliant with SNI-01-3743 of 1995, which incorrect parameters in its production may cause incorrect parameters in its production. Optimizing of production parameters is needed to maintain the quality of coconut sugar. Coconut sugar quality indicators can be determined from the physical-chemical and organoleptic characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the parameters of coconut sugar production, aiming to obtain optimal production parameters to produce a standard production process and coconut sugar following consumer needs and SNI. The experimental design uses the Taguchi method, which consists of 4-factor variables: (1) the type of sap preservative, (2) defoaming agent, (3) the time of tapping, and (4) the cooking temperature of the sap. The multi-response loss function approach was used to select the best production process parameters based on the typical characteristics of qualities. The results showed that the optimal production parameters were obtained in a combination of mangosteen peel and lime as sap preservative, coconut milk as a defoaming agent, long-time tapping time of 8 hours (heating) +16 hours, and cooking temperature of 135 o C with a yield of 15.58%, part of water-insoluble in 0.07%, (ΔE) color 62.30, hardness 99.92 N, moisture content 6.87%, ash content 1.96%, sucrose content 77.77%, reducing sugar content 8.09% with organoleptic test values close to 4 ( like) and equal SNI.
