TRASH TO TREASURE:

ORGANIC NEUTRALIZER, OIL AND ODOR REMOVAL

ABSTRACT

Kitchen wastewater discharged into the drains cause odor pollution and water

pollution on the environment. This is because kitchen wastewater discharged has a very foul

smell and oily. Furthermore, the kitchen wastewater has a very low pH value rate of pH 4

which is acidic. Thus, the problem leads to a study that investigates the potential of the

durian peel as a kitchen wastewater neutralizer, deodorizer and oil ejector. Durian peels

were cut in sizes of 5cm3and were turned into charcoals by pyrolysis process at 500C using

a Bunsen burner for 45 minutes. After that, the charcoals were immersed in sodium chloride

(NaCl) at a concentration of 25 % for 12 hours. Next, the durian peels were dried in an oven

at 120C for 3 hours. The charcoals were weighed to 4g and were immersed in the kitchen

wastewater that has been filtered to remove suspended solids, in dosages of 200 ml and left

for 5 hours with it. The result shows that the kitchen wastewater did not emit foul smell

anymore, not oily, and the rate of the pH became neutral pH of 7. This is because the durian

peels adsorb the oil and dirt that are acidic and smelly. Thus, it is proven that the durian

peels have a great potential to treat kitchen wastewater by neutralize the water, adsorb foul

odors and remove the oil.

SAMPAH KEPADA HARTA:

PENEUTRAL ORGANIK DAN PENYAHBAU SERTA MINYAK

ABSTRAK

Air sisa dapur yang dilepaskan ke dalam longkang mendatangkan masalah

pencemaran bau serta pencemaran air terhadap alam sekitar. Hal ini kerana air sisa dapur

yang dilepaskan mempunyai bau yang amat busuk dan berminyak. Tambahan pula, air sisa

dapur tersebut mempunyai kadar nilai pH yang amat rendah iaitu pH 4 yang bersifat asid.

Justeru, permasalahan tersebut membawa kepada sebuah kajian yang dijalankan bagi

mengkaji potensi kulit durian sebagai peneutral air sisa dapur, penyahbau dan penyingkir

minyak. Kulit durian dipotong dalam kadar saiz 5cm3

dan dijadikan arang melalui proses

pirolisis pada suhu 500C menggunakan penunu Bunsen selama 45 minit. Selepas itu, arang

tesebut direndamkan di dalam Natrium Klorida (NaCl) pada kepekatan 25 % selama 12 jam.

Setelah itu, arang kulit durian tersebut dikeringkan di dalam ketuhar pada suhu 120C

selama 3 jam. Arang tersebut ditimbang sebanyak 4g dan direndamkan di dalam air sisa

dapur yang telah ditapis bagi mengeluarkan pepejal terampai, pada sukatan 200 ml dan

dibiarkan selama 12 jam bersamanya. Hasilnya air sisa dapur tersebut tidak lagi

mengeluarkan bau busuk, tidak berminyak dan kadar nilai pH menjadi neutral iaitu pH 7. Hal

ini kerana arang kulit durian tersebut telah menjerap minyak dan kotoran yang bersifat asid

serta mengeluarkan bau busuk. Oleh itu, terbuktilah bahawa kulit durian amat berpotensi

untuk merawat air sisa dapur dengan meneutralkan air tersebut, menjerap bau dan

menyingkir minyak.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Durian or Durio is a type of fruit that grows well in Malaysia. Regarded by many

people in southeast Asia as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size,

strong odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk. It is a cheap energy source which is

commonly prepared as local dishes. The centre of ecological diversity for durians is the island

of Borneo, where the fruit of the edible species of Durio. The focus of this experiment is on

the Durio Zibethinusspecies. In Peninsular Malaysia, the season for durians is typically from

June to August. According to Wikipedia, Malaysia is expected to produce 265 000 tonnes of

durian per year making it one of the biggest producer of durians. However, these figures did

not only indicate the vast availability of durians but also the amount of waste durian peel

generated. The peels that have been dumped and left unorganized may cause unpleasent

smell and disturbing view to the surrounding. Durian peel contained of cellulose which has

enable it to be applied for this purpose. Neutralization reactions where durian peel reacted

with NaCl solution.

2.0 MATERIALS AND METHODS

2.1 Preparation of material

Waste durian peel that are used in this experiment were taken from night

market in Rawang, Selangor. The durian peel were washed with raw water to remove

dirt and been cut into sized of 5 cm3

. The durian peels were dried for a day. Then, the

durian peels were transformed into charcoal via the process of pyrolysis at the

temperature of 500C using a Bunsen burner for 45 minutes. Then, the charcoals

were soaked in 25% NaCl solution for 24 hours and been dried in an oven for 3 hours

at 120C.

2.2 Experimental and Analysis method

There were four experiments carried out to invstigate the effectiveness of

durian peel in kitchen wastewater; optimum pH, potential as odor remover and oil

ejector.

2.2.1 Stirring By Magnetic Stirrer

Purpose: To find optimum pH of wastewater that can be achieved after treatmentusing Modified Charcoal at the different duration.

To determine the optimum pH that can be achieved by Modified Charcoal with higher

rate of neutralization. Basis 4g formulations of modified charcoal are added into a

beaker containinng 200 ml of kitchen wastewater with the pH of 4.

Optimum formulation of modified charcoal that can achieve optimum pH were carry

out by conducting a magnetic stirrer with a beaker of kitchen wastewater at

different duration. The magnetic stirrer ran simultaneously with constant speed

which is 90 rpm. The pH was recorded at the interval of every 60 minutes. During

this process, observation is recorded. This process is stopped after obtaining pH 7.

2.2.2 Analysing using measuring cylinder through absorption

Purpose : To find the optimum amount of oil absorption by Modified Charcoal

This method is used to find the optimum oil absorption by Modified Charcoal. A

controlled experiment is carried out involving 3 measuring cylinders with the same

volume of oil of 20 ml per measuring cylinder. Different amount of modified charcoal

are added to the measuring cylinders of 1g, 2g and 3g respectively. The measuring

cylinders are left for 6 hours.The rate of adsorption of oil is recorded after 12 hours.

4.0 DISCUSSION

4.1 Optimum pH of kitchen wastewater after treatment.

These results shows that by using 4.0 g of modified charcoal in 200 ml of kitchen wastewater, the pH

of the treated water increases from acidic, pH 4.2 to neutral, pH 7.0. This treated wastewater

maintained their final pH, and was recorded after filtration from the precipitate.

4.3 Observation of odor removal in kitchen wastewater

The initial kitchen wastewater released a very foul odor. The modified charcoal of 4g is immersedinto 200 ml of kitchen wastewater in 12 hours at 90 rpm. The observation of odor is taken by interval

of 4 hours.

5.0 CONCLUSION

In most practical application, kitchen wastewater which is acidic, oil and bad odor can causedisaster to the earth. Kitchen wastewater which are low in pH value (acidic) can cause the soil

become acidic. Hence, the plant cannot grow healthy. In the other word, the oil from kitchen

wastewater cause the water such as in river is polluted. The oil will covered the surface of water and

make the aquatic habitat is threatened. Futhermore, the very bad foul odor in kitchen wastewater

attract fly and cockcroaches that can cause disease to the human. Besides, it will impose a negative

view to the enviroment. Therefore, Modified Charcoal from Malaysian durian peel is the best

solution to neutralize the kitchen wastewater, absorb the oil and remove the bad odor in kitchen

wastewater to make the world healthier and a better place to live.

6.0 RECOMMENDATION

6.1 People who live near durian orchards or market places that sell durians can

also collect unwanted durian peels and sell them to a supplier. This can improve the

view of the surrounding. By collecting the peels, people can find it as an income by

selling it to a supplier. Other than that, different types of peels can be collected such

as jackfruit peels and Musang King peels.

6.2 People managing restaurants or hawkers who sell durians can minimize the

durian peel leftovers that release bad odors and cannot be decomposed easily in an

incinerator. They could also manage a side income by selling them to any durian peel

collectors

6.3 For further studies, the modified charcoal have a potential to be used in

agriculture as a soil neutralizer.

6.4 For further research, the modified charcoal have a potential to be used in

industry wastewater as a heavy metal adsorbent.
