“…This could be due to all the kinetic models used in this study produce formic acid as a final product. The use of high temperature around 170 o C in the reactor will degrade furfural into resinification products where formic acid is the most dominant product [32][33][34][35][36]. In addition, a lot of lignin as a raw material component that was not hydrolyzed and humins as a by-product of the hydrolysis process were produced as byproduct according to Table 2.…”

Furfural and levulinic acid are chemicals that can be produced from lignocellulosic biomass. In this research, mass balance simulation of furfural and levulinic acid production at scale of 100 tons of biomass/year was examined. This research using various models of kinetic reaction and biomass to solvent ratio from lignocellulosic biomass raw materials consisting of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, ash, and water composition of 35%, 30%, 25%, 3%, and 7%. The kinetic models used in this research were separate kinetic models and simultaneous model (model-3). The separate kinetic models were divided into two models which separate kinetic model 1 (model-1) and separate kinetic model 2 (model-2). SuperPro Designer 9.0 software was used to calculate mass balance simulation. From the research, it was found that variations in kinetic reaction model affected furfural and levulinic acid production. Higher biomass to solvent ratio produced higher furfural and levulinic acid production. The highest furfural produced from simulation process was kinetic reaction model-2 with a biomass to solvent ratio of 1:30 and 0.67 liter furfural/hour. While the highest levulinic acid produced from the simulation process was kinetic reaction model-1 with a biomass to solvent ratio of 1:30 and 2.37 liter levulinic acid/hour.

“…In which the samples were taken during the 10, 20, 30, 45, 90, and 120 minutes reaction at 150, 160, and 170 °C. From the experiment, it was found that the highest FA was formed at a reaction temperature of 170 °C after 20 minutes of reaction which produces 0.031 mol/L and 46.6 % mol of formic acid yield [29]. This method could also be implemented industrially in a reactor.…”

Raw materials for the production of polyurethane (PU), including polyols and isocyanate are derived from crude oils which pose multitude environmental impacts. While, the exploits of pure cooking oil, like palm oil used as a feedstock for polyol could cause bio-crisis, triggered by the imbalance of its demands and supplies. Hence, the utilization of vegetables or cooking oil from waste are mandatory to resolve the impacts. This study revolves around the comparative assessment of waste cooking oil (WCO) over pure cooking oil, as well as, the optimization of temperature, different acids and catalysts and hydrogen peroxide loading in the production polyol via epoxidation and hydroxylation reaction. An acid reacts with hydrogen peroxide, produces peroxy-acid and water, which then reacts with WCO, first step through the epoxidation process. Afterwards, to produce polyol the breaking of the epoxidized-ring fatty acids is carried out by the reaction of hydroxylation aided by catalyst i.e., hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid or phosphoric acid. Notoriously, WCO have similar triglyceride structure as pure cooking oil. However, even after filtration, some factors have considerable effect on its fatty acid compositions such as duration of usage, exposure of temperature and type of food used during cooking. In regards to temperature when producing polyol, it is discovered that higher temperature led to more ring-opening, nonetheless, prolong high temperature causes more side reactions which is undesirable. Additionally, acetic acid has surpassing oxygen carrier properties over formic acid in epoxidation reaction. Alongside, sulphuric acid being the most efficient inorganic acid catalyst due to stronger acid exhibits profound ring-opening of epoxidized oil. Furthermore, higher loading of hydrogen peroxide is preferable. Lastly, variations of extraction of sustainable acids which can be used as oxygen carrier for epoxidation i.e., formic acid and acetic acid derived from empty fruit bunch and food wastes are also demonstrated.

Currently, renewable energy started to become a focus of the world as it can be an alternative to fossil energy. Bioethanol is the result of glucose fermentation derived from lignocellulosic raw material (second-generation bioethanol). As one of the countries with the most significant biomass resources globally, Indonesia has a huge opportunity to develop the bioethanol industry. Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB) is the most significant solid waste generated by oil palm plantations. Levulinic acid can be used as a chemical platform for biodiesel production, which has a higher selling price than bioethanol. In this research, techno-economic evaluation of integrated levulinic acid-bioethanol plant based on OPEFB was conducted. Optimization of production capacity is done to determine the suitable plant capacity so that the integrated levulinic acid-bioethanol plant is feasible to be developed. Based on simulation results with SuperPro Design 9.5 and analysis of the economic value, Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Return Rate (IRR), and the payback period is 53.939.000 USD; 29,77%; and 4,52 years, respectively. In conclusion, an integrated levulinic acid-bioethanol plant based on OPEFB has fulfilled the economic parameters of a chemical plant.
