Papaya leaf extract could be used as an organic corrosion inhibitor. Corrosion inhibitors were used as a method to reduce corrosion rate. The most corrosive environment was the marine environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the best concentration of papaya (Carica papaya) leaf extract inhibitor which could reduce the corrosion rate of low carbon steel in a 3.56% NaCl solution environment. The maceration process was carried out for 24 hours with 70% ethanol solvent with a solute:solvent ratio of 1:8 (w/v) at room temperature. Inhibitor extracts were analyzed qualitatively with the phytochemical method. The addition of FeCl₃ was carried out on the inhibitor extract from papaya leaves. The color change occurred from blackish brown to greenish black which indicated the presence of tannin compounds in the papaya leaf extract. Corrosion testing was carried out with hot stream temperature setting at 45⁰C to 55⁰C and concentrations of inhibitor extracts at 300, 600, and 900 ppm. The test was conducted for 36 hours with a span of metal mass every 6 hours. Corrosion rate calculation is done by weight loss method. The results showed that papaya leaf extract inhibitors positive contained corrosion inhibitor and could reduce the corrosion rate in 3.56% NaCl solution. The corrosion rate without inhibitor is 1.023 mmpy. Corrosion rates with inhibitor concentrations of 300, 600, and 900 ppm were 0.755, 0.585, and 0.438 mmpy, respectively.

Research has been carried out on the utilization of biomass waste of coconut trunk sawdust using the pyrolysis method to produce two products simultaneously, namely charcoal and liquid smoke. In order to obtain charcoal products with optimum calorific value, it is necessary to understand the optimum pyrolysis conditions. One of the optimum conditions, namely pyrolysis temperature, was studied in this research. Pyrolysis was carried out in a simultaneous pyrolysis reactor at a flow rate of argon inert gas into the reactor of 2 liters/minute and a pyrolysis time of 2.5 hours with pyrolysis temperature variations of 350, 400, 450, and 500°C, respectively. The study showed that the optimum temperature of 400^oC was obtained which gave a yield of 34% charcoal with a calorific value of 7229 kcal/kg. Compared to the calorific value of the raw material for coconut sawdust which is 4400 kcal/kg, there was an increase in the calorific value of the pyrolysis product by 64%. Based on the optimum temperature condition, liquid smoke as a by-product was also obtained with a yield of 45%. Charcoal can be used as a solid fuel or as a bioadsorbent in the treatment of liquid waste or clarification of liquid food products such as virgin coconut oil (VCO). Grade 3 liquid smoke can be used as a biopesticide, while grade 1 liquid smoke can be used as a food preservative. Given the benefits of the two pyrolysis products, both of the products from the current research have a promising market value.

Tofu wastewater contains a lot of protein therefore it is easily degraded to produce foul odors and harmful gases due to microbes. Protein levels can be reduced through the electrocoagulation method which is equipped with adsorption. The purpose of this study is to reduce the value of turbidity, TSS, and COD in tofu wastewater due to the influence of voltage in the electrocoagulation process which is equipped with an adsorption process. This research was conducted with an electrocoagulation process at a rate of 250L/min with voltage variations of 15, 20, and 24Volt in a 10L tank containing 3 pairs of aluminum (Al) electrodes connected with direct current. The output water from the electrocoagulation process flows into the settling basin and flows into the adsorption tank containing activated carbon adsorbent. Both of these continuous processes were the innovation of this research. Sampling was conducted every 10 minutes for analysis of turbidity, TSS, COD, and pH. The results of the output water analysis from the electrocoagulation process after passing through the precipitation and adsorption processes show that increasing the voltage results in the decrease of turbidity, TSS, and COD values, however, increased efficiency and pH. Thus, a voltage of 24V with a flow rate of 250mL/min resulted in the highest efficiency of the voltage variations (15, 20, and 24V) with a process time of 90 minutes with a turbidity impurity reduction efficiency value of 45.42% with a value of 41.36 NTU from 75.22NTU, TSS 91.42% with a decrease to 1827mg/L from 21288mg/L, and COD 55.56% with a COD value of 9600mg/L from 21600mg/L, and a process output water pH of 4.91, as well as a reduction in aluminum electrode weight of 1.024grams.

Research on peanut shells used as activated charcoal aims to determine the effect of contact time and pH on reducing levels of metal ions Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ in water. The research was conducted using contact time variables (30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 minutes) and pH (4, 5, 6, 7, and 8). Measurement of adsorbed metal levels was determined by using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The research results obtained showed that variations in contact time could reduce Ca²⁺levels by 77.46% -84.89% and Mg²⁺ by 86.88%-88.91%. Adsorbents with variations in pH can reduce Ca²⁺levels by 63.48%-88.74% and Mg²⁺ by 90.35%-94.49%. The best conditions for the absorption of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions were a contact time of 60 minutes and pH 4. The adsorbent was applied to reduce Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ levels in water with different hardness levels. The results of the analysis of water samples from two different locations had Ca²⁺ levels of 94.180 mg/L and 210.20 mg/L, while Mg²⁺ levels were 13.536 mg/L and 17.420 mg/L. The percentages of Ca²⁺ adsorption for the two samples were 96.19% and 77.08%, and the percentages of Mg²⁺ adsorption for the two samples were 21.16% and 10.63%. Carbon from peanut shells activated with sodium acetate has the potential to be used to reduce hardness in water.

Coconut pulp and soy milk pulp flour can be combined to reduce the use of wheat flour in the manufacture of cereals. The high fiber and protein content of coconut and soy milk pulp will improve the quality of cereals. The aim of this study was to obtain the mass ratio of coconut and soy milk pulp flour which produces cereals with high nutritional value. The ratio of coconut and soy milk pulp flour used was 0:100; 25:75; 50:50; 75:25; and 100:0 (w/w). Cereal quality was determined based on the value of carbohydrate, protein, fat, fiber, water, and ash content. The results showed that the protein, fat, water, and ash content met the SNI standard, while the fiber content was still higher than the maximum SNI limit. Statistically, the treatment of the ratio of coconut and soy milk pulp flour had a significant effect on all cereal quality parameters (sig. 0.00 < α (0.05)). The high cereal protein content was found in all levels, namely in the range of 14.29-21.14%, while the fat content was in the range of 17.8-34.41%. The use of a 0:100 ratio produces carbohydrate content that meets SNI, which is more than 60%. The use of a combination of coconut pulp and soy milk pulp for the manufacture of cereals that needs to be developed is 25:75 (w/w), however still needs further modifications to reduce fiber content and increase the carbohydrate content.

Tofu liquid waste, which has high BOD and COD values, can contaminate waters if it is directly disposed of without prior treatment. Therefore, waste treatment is necessary before being released into water. One method for treating this waste is by using a cellulose acetate membrane. In this research, a cellulose acetate membrane was synthesized from sugarcane bagasse fibers using the phase inversion method. The membrane was added 6% MSG as an additive to improve its performance. The membrane was applied to treat tofu waste with BOD and COD parameters. The membrane’s flux values obtained in this study were 33.56 L/(m².hour) for water and 26.85 L/(m².hour) for tofu liquid waste. SEM test result showed that the membrane with a 6% MSG additive had more pores and a denser surface compared to the membrane without the additive. The membrane was capable of decreasing BOD and COD values by 62.5% and 75.3% respectively in liquid tofu waste.
