The objective of this research was to characterize the porosity of decolorized activated carbon (DAC) and its ability to adsorb β-carotene as a preliminary study to characterize activated carbon as an adsorbent to adsorb carotene from crude palm oil. The capability of DAC to adsorb β-carotene was studied using isopropyl alcohol as a solvent in equilibrium conditions. The adsorption time was specified for 0.5 to 60 min, while the DAC optimum concentration for adsorption of β-carotene was determined at a concentration of 0.5 to 2.5%. Adsorption isotherm study was conducted for a β-carotene concentration of 100 to 500 ppm and at temperatures of 30, 40 and 50 °C at equilibrium time and DAC optimum concentration. The results showed that the DAC had a surface area of 1068.391 m2/g, total pore volume of 0.952 cc/g, mesopore volume of 0.528 cc/g (55.4%) and mesopore radius of 15.26 Å. Based on the levels of β-carotene adsorbed onto the DAC, the equilibrium was reached after adsorption of 5 min.

Crude palm oil (CPO) is the richest natural source of carotenoids which gives the reddish-orange color in crude palm oil. The reddish color in  unprocessed palm oil is disliked by consumer. This research is aimed to adsorb the β–carotene from the CPO using activated carbon, then the kinetics, isotherm models and thermodynamics data of the adsorption process were obtained. The main materials used in this research were CPO and activated carbon. The observed parameters were final concentration  and the amounts of adsorbed β–carotene in activated carbon. The adsorption process was conducted by mixing the adsorbent with CPO with the variation of adsorbent: CPO (w/w) ratio = 1 : 3; 1 : 4; 1 : 5 and 1 : 6 with mixing  speed 120 rpm and the temperature of 40, 50 and 60 oC. The sample of CPO and activated carbon was analyzed at every 2 minutes until the equilibrium was achieved. The final concentration of the unadsorbed β–carotene was analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that the more CPO used in the process, the lower the adsorption percentage. The higher the adsorption temperature, the higher  adsorption percentage. Moreover, the maximum adsorption percentage was 95.108%  obtained at ratio 1 : 3 and T = 60 oC. The adsorption isotherm model which fit with the β–carotene adsorption at T = 60 oC was Langmuir model with the correlation coefficient of 0.959. The adsorption kinetics model which fit with the β–carotene adsorption was the second order kinetics model with the correlation coefficient of 0.998. The value of free energy Gibbs (ΔG) = -24,482.484 ; -24,708.059 and -24,933.634 J/mol for each temperature respectively, value of entropy changes (ΔS) = 22.557 J/mol K, and value of enthalpy changes (ΔH) = -17,421.987 J/mol.

AbstractSamples of activated bentonite and activated bentonite modified with CuCl and CuCl2, separately, were tested as dimethyl sulfide (DMS) adsorbents. The adsorption and desorption behaviours of DMS on the adsorbents were studied systematically. The adsorbents were characterised by nitrogen adsorption, XRD, and DMS-TPD tests. The addition of CuCl and CuCl2 to the activated carbon significantly enhanced the adsorption capacity of DMS, despite a notable decrease in the specific surface area and total pore volume of the activated bentonite. It is presumed that copper cation species may act as an adsorption site for DMS. The adsorption capacity of Cu(II)-bentonite was better than that of Cu(I)-bentonite. The DMS-TPD patterns indicate that the stronger electrophilicity of Cu(II) compared to that of Cu(I) caused it to interact with the DMS molecules more strongly, thus contributing to a better adsorptive performance. The Cu(II)-bentonite calcined at 150°C had the best DMS removal performance with a high sulphur capacity of 70.56 mg S g−1 adsorbent. The DMS removal performance became much lower with the increase in the calcination temperature, which appeared to be due to the decrease in the CuCl2·2H2O phase and the formation of the monoclinic Cu(OH)Cl phase.

This research aims to optimize preparation conditions of coconut-shell-based activated carbon (CSAC) and to evaluate its adsorption performance in removing POP of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT). The CSAC was prepared by activating the coconut shell via single-stage microwave heating under carbon dioxide, CO2 flow. The total pore volume, BET surface area, and average pore diameter of CSAC were 0.420 cm3/g, 625.61 m2/g, and 4.55 nm, respectively. The surface of CSAC was negatively charged shown by the zeta potential study. Response surface methodology (RSM) revealed that the optimum preparation conditions in preparing CSAC were 502 W and 6 min for radiation power and radiation time, respectively, which corresponded to 84.83% of DDT removal and 37.91% of CSAC’s yield. Adsorption uptakes of DDT were found to increase with an increase in their initial concentration. Isotherm study revealed that DDT-CSAC adsorption system was best described by the Langmuir model with monolayer adsorption capacity, Qm of 14.51 mg/g. The kinetic study confirmed that the pseudo-second-order model fitted well with this adsorption system. In regeneration studies, the adsorption efficiency had slightly dropped from 100% to 83% after 5 cycles. CSAC was found to be economically feasible for commercialization owing to its low production cost and high adsorption capacity.

AbstractIn order to increase  value added  and  to support downstream industry of  palm oil, minor components of the oil such as β-carotene and vitamin E should be utilized. Vitamin E is a high value  vitamin  that could be used as material for pharmaceutical and  neutraceutical products. Technological constraints encountered in the utilization of  vitamin E from CPO are lack of optimal extraction and purification method as well as the way to stabilize of the product. The research was conducted to find optimal extraction and purification method of vitamin E from CPO and microencapsulation method of vitamin E as pharmaceutical and neutraceutical product. The research showed that vitamin E could be recovered  from CPO by several steps process including saponification using NaOH, separation of unsaponificated  solution,  followed by dissolution using 2-propanol in hexane and extraction  using methanol. Raw extract of vitamin E was then purified by coloumn chromatography with stationary phase of silica gel and mobile phase (eluent) of petroleum benzene/ diethyl ether/acetic acid 70 : 30 : 0,2. Purified vitamin E could be collected as fraction 4-8. Vitamin E obtained  had  similar antioxidant activity as in pure vitamin E (Sigma) and vitamin C. Microencapsulation method could be conducted using arabic gum as coating material followed by spray drying and resulted IC50-DPPH value 132.55  ppm which considered middle activity category.AbstrakUntuk meningkatkan nilai tambah dan mengem-bangkan industri hilir minyak kelapa sawit (CPO), komponen minor minyak tersebut seperti vitamin E dan β-karoten perlu dimanfaatkan. Vitamin E merupakan produk bernilai ekonomis tinggi sebagai bahan farmaseutikal dan neutrasetikal. Kendala yang dihadapi dalam pemanfaatan vitamin E dari CPO, yaitu belum tersedianya teknik ekstraksi dan purifikasi yang optimal dan cara memper-tahankan stabilitas vitamin E. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh teknik ekstraksi dan purifikasi vitamin E dari CPO dan teknik mikroenkapsulasi vitamin E sebagai bahan farmaseutikal dan neutrasetikal.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa vitamin E dapat diproduksi dengan beberapa tahapan yakni saponifikasi dengan NaOH, pemisahan lapisan pekat tak tersabunkan, pelarutan dengan2-propanol dalam heksana, ekstraksi dengan metanol dan pelarutan ekstrak dengan 2-propanol dalam heksana. Ekstrak kasar vitamin E dimurnikan dengan kromatografi kolom dengan fasa diam silika gel dan fasa gerak petroleum benzen/dietil eter/asam asetat = 70 : 30 : 0,2. Vitamin E dapat dimurnikan pada fraksi ke-4 sampai dengan ke-8. Aktivitas antioksidan vitamin E hasil ekstraksi tersebut setara dengan vitamin E murni (Sigma). Teknik mikroenkapsulasi vitamin E hasil ekstraksi dari CPO dapat dilakukan dengan penyalut gum arab dan pengeringan dengan spray dryer  yang menghasilkan anti-oksidan dengan aktivitas IC50 DPPH = 132,55 ppm yang termasuk kategori beraktivitas sedang.

AbstractThe adsorption of humic substances on three different adsorbents was investigated and adsorption isotherms were applied in this research. The three adsorbents studied include granular activated carbon (GAC), ferric oxihydroxide in its beta form (β-FeOOH) and iron-coated activated alumina (AAFS). Physical and chemical characteristics of the adsorbents were also fully investigated. Calcium was added to the HS solution in order to represent water with a hardness equivalent to water hardness typically found in London (UK). The examination of the GAC indicated a large microporous area with lower surface area associated with meso- and macropores. The AAFS and β-FeOOH did not present any microporous area. The overall surface area was high for GAC (980 m2 g−1) but lower for AAFS (286 m2 g−1) and β-FeOOH (360 m2 g−1). The Freundlich isotherm model was fitted to all adsorbent–adsorbate systems. It was shown that GAC offered a large adsorption capacity for removal of low molecular weight humics F1 (MW 0–5 kDa) but not for substances with molecular weight larger than 10 kDa (F3). The β-FeOOH adsorption capacity was only 0.43 mg g−1, compared with 9.11 and 2.55 mg g−1 on GAC and AAFS, respectively. On the contrary, F1 is not well adsorbed and only F2 (5–10 kDa) can be efficiently removed by AAFS and β-FeOOH. It was strongly suggested that precipitation/condensation occurred on the adsorbent surface.

In this study, rubber seed shell was used for the production of activated carbon by chemical activation using an ionic liquid, [C4Py][Tf2N] as an activating agent. Sample RSS-IL 800 shows the highest specific surface area of 393.99 m2/g, a total pore volume of 0.206 cm3/g, and a micropore volume of 0.172 cm3/g. The performance of AC samples as an adsorbent for CO2 was also studied using a static volumetric technique evaluated at a temperature of 25 °C and 1 bar pressure. The CO2 adsorption capacity for sample RSS-IL 800 was 2.436 mmol/g, comparable with reported data from the previous study. Results also show that the CO2 adsorption capacity decreased at a higher temperature between 50 and 100 °C and increased at elevated pressure due to its exothermic behavior. The Langmuir model fits the adsorption data well, and the isosteric heat of adsorption proved that the physisorption process and exothermic behavior occur.
