EFFECT OF ZEOLITE 4A ON WATER CONCENTRATION IN THE SYSTEM OF THE ESTERIFICATION REACTION OF ACETIC ACID WITH 1-BUTANOL
Authors: Kusumaningtyas Ratna Dewi 
Published: January 2019

The usual problem encountered on a reversible reaction is that the reaction cannot achieve a complete conversion of reactants since it is limited by the thermodynamic equilibrium. Due to this low conversion, it will face challenges with product purification and recycling of the reactants, which then cause an increase in the operation cost. To obtain higher conversion, it is necessary to shift the equilibrium towards the products by continuously removing the water formed. One popular example of reversible reaction is esterification process. In this research, water removal was conducted through an adsorption process using zeolite 4A. Effect of zeolite 4A on water concentration in the liquid phase esterification of acetic acid and 1-butanol catalyzed by sulfuric acid was investigated. It was performed in an isothermal batch reactor. The molar ratio of 1-butanol - acetic acid was 1.4 times theoretically, the catalyst concentration was 1 % wt and the mixing intensity was 1000 rpm. The influence of the temperature was studied at 40 to 80 °C and the zeolite 4A loading was varied at 1.6 to 5.52 % w/ v. The reaction was compared to the conventional esterification reaction carried out under identical conditions but without addition of zeolite 4A. Concentration of each component in the system was analyzed using on-line Gas Chromatography. Effect of removing the water produced during the reaction by using zeolite 4A was demonstrated. It was revealed that the amount of water removed was proportional to the amount of the zeolite 4A to be employed. On the other hand, the increase of the temperature led to the lower amount of water to be adsorbed. Among all the experiments, the best result was achieved on the addition of 5.52 % b/v zeolite 4A at 40 °C, where water concentration was 3.1356 g mole/L and the conversion was 76.11 % at the equilibrium condition. As comparison, water concentration on the conventional reaction performed at 40 °C was 6.9161 g mole/L and the conversion was 62.5 % at the equilibrium condition. The equation illustrating the effect of zeolite 4A loading on the conversion obtained at the equilibrium condition was: XAe = 0.6248 + 0.0868 C4A0.2848, where XAe was equilibrium conversion of Acetic Acid and C4A was Zeolite 4A loading (g/100 mL liquid). Keywords: reversible reaction, esterification, zeolite 4A, water removal, adsorption

SORPTION-DESORPTION CHARACTERISTICS OF HEAVY METALS AND THEIR AVAILABILITY FROM THE SEDIMENT OF SEGARA ANAKAN ESTUARY
Authors: Noegrohati Sri 
Published: January 2019

Estuarine sediments are increasingly recognized as both a carrier and a possible source of heavy metals in pollution of aquatic ecosystems. The bioavailability of heavy metal from sediments, however, is a long-standing impediment of questions in determining the metal effects in ecosystems. The fraction considered as available heavy metal are both the dissolved heavy metal and the exchangable cations. The main objective of this study is to understand the extent of heavy metal availability from sediments in estuarine ecosystem. It was found that the availability of heavy metals, i.e. copper, zinc, cadmium, and mercury in the estuarine ecosystem investigated, are governed by the relative strength of the electrostatic attraction of their complexation to the ligands present both in the sediment and the overlaying waters. Under simulated estuarine ecosystem, it was observed that Cu and Zn prefer to form organo-complex through ligand exchange, while Cd and Hg tend to form chloro-complex through electrostatic interaction. Therefore, the availability of Hg and Cd is higher in more saline overlaying water. On the contrary, the availability of Cu and Zn is lower in more saline overlaying waters, as indicated by their respective water-sediment distribution coefficient, KD. Similar behaviour of heavy metal was observed in natural field conditions of Segara Anakan estuary. Due to the higher salinity of the overlaying water, the availability of Cd and Hg in dry season was higher than in wet season, while Zn was more available in wet season due to the higher input of organic matters from the inland. The patterns of heavy metal release from the sediment are consistent to that obtained in experiments of the undisturbed simulation, where highest release was obtained for Cd. Surprisingly, it was found that even though Cd was not detected in the sediment, higher level of Cd in water medium was observed in dry season, and Cu seems to retain in the sediment in both dry and wet seasons. Compared to the unextractable fraction, the extractable was very low, therefore Geloina sp. was used as biomonitor for dissolved Cd and Hg, and Zn in sediment. Generally, the heavy metal concentration in Geloina sp. was higher in dry season than in wet season, but no Cu uptake was detected. Therefore, the establishment of limit values of heavy metals in sediment is highly recommended. Keywords: heavy metal, sorption-desorption, estuary, availability.

In order to solve environmental problems due to chlorophenol compound and which is hazardous and carcinogenic, the effect of Cr(VI) ions on the chlorophenol photodegradation effectiveness has been evaluated. Photodegradation process was carried out in a closed reactor by batch sistem, by exposing the UV lamp into a solution containing chlorophenol and Cr(VI) ions for a period of time. Then the solution was analyzed by gas chromatography for determination of the residual chlorophenol concentration. In this research, the influences of reaction time, Cr(VI) ions concentration, and solution pH on the photodegradation results were also evaluated. The research results indicated that the effectiveness of the photodegradation increases when ion Cr(VI) was added. The improvement of the effectiveness is proportional with the increase of the concentration of Cr(VI) added. The effectiveness of the photodegradation is also influenced by solution pH, and the highest is reached at pH < 2. Chlorophenol photodegradation follows first order reaction. The respective rate reaction constants for chlorophenol photodegradation in the absence and in the presence of Cr(VI) ions are 4.91x 10-2 and 11.41x 10-2 hours-1 Keywords: photodegradation, chlorophenol, Cr(VI) ion
