ABSTRAK

Korosi merupakan interaksi bahan dengan lingkungannya yang menghasilkan kerusakan

pada material dan lingkungan. Salah satu metode penghambat proses terjadinya korosi
yaitu dengan inhibitor. Inhibitor organik yaitu inhibitor yang terbuat dari bahan alami
yang tersedia di alam. Ekstrak Kulit pisang mengandung senyawa tanin yang dapat
mencegah korosi. Tujuan penelitian adalah menentukan rendemen ekstrak kulit pisang
dengan metode maserasi, menentukan penelitian laju korosi baja menggunakan inhibiotor
korosi, dan menentukan pengaruh konsentrasi inhibitor, media korosi, dan variasi waktu
perendaman terhadap nilai laju korosi. Penelitian ini di mulai dengan mengekstrak kulit
pisang dilakukan dengan metode maserasi dengan perendaman selama 7hari. Kemudian
dilanjutkan dengan perendaman baja pada media korosi yaitu HCl dan NaOH dengan
konsentrasi ekstrak 0 gr/L, 0.5 g/L, 1 g/L, 1.5 g/L pada waktu 12, 24, 48, 71 jam. Ekstrak
kulit pisang di uji FTIR. Rendemen (%) ekstrak kulit pisang dengan cara maserasi sebesar
86,5%. Hasil dari uji FTIR menunjukan bahwa ektrak kulit pisang mengandung senyawa
fenolik. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan semakin besar konsentrasi inhibitor ekstrak kulit
pisang semakin kecil laju korosi. Pada media korosi HCl laju korosi terendah yaitu pada
penambahan inhibitor 1,5 g/L pada waktu perendaman 72 jam sebesar 63,8954 mpy,
sedangkan pada media korosi NaOH laju korosi terendah yaitu pada penambahan
inhibitor 1,5 g/L selama 72 jam sebesar 1,0795 mpy. Semakin besar konsentrasi inhibitor
yang ditambahkan serta semakin lama waktu perendaman plat baja maka semakin tinggi
efisiensi inhibisinya. Semakin korosif media perendaman maka semakin kecil nilai
efisiensi inhibisi. Pada media korosi HCl efisiensi inhibisi ekstrak kulit pisang yang
paling besar didapat pada konsentrasi 1,5 g/L pada waktu perendaman 72 jam yaitu
sebesar 61,4570%, sedangkan pada media korosi NaOH efisiensi inhibisi ekstrak kulit
pisang yang paling besar didapat pada konsentrasi 1,5 g/L sebesar 10,18% dengan waktu
perendaman 72 jam.

Abstract

Corrosion is an interaction material with its environment which results damage to

materials and the environment. One method of inhibiting the corrosion process with
inhibitors. Organic inhibitors are inhibitors that are made from natural ingredients
available in nature. Extract of banana peels contains tannin compounds that can prevent
corrosion. The research objective is to determine the yield of banana peel extract by
maceration method, determine corrosion rate of steel by using corrosion inhibitors, and
determine the concentration of inhibitor coordination, media corrosion, and variation of
immersion time to the corrosion rate. This research was started by extracting banana peel
which was done by maceration method with soaking for 7 days. Then it was continued by
immersing steel in corrosion media, namely HCl and NaOH with a concentration of 0
gr/L, 0,5 g/L, 1 g/L, 1,5 g/L at 12, 24, 48, 71 hours. Banana peel extract was tested by
FTIR. The yield (%) of banana peel extract by maceration method was 86,5%. The results
of the FTIR test showed that banana peel extract contained a phenolic composition. The
results of this study indicate the greater the inhibitor concentration of banana peel extract,
the smaller the corrosion rate. In the HCl corrosion medium the lowest corrosion rate
when the 1.5 g/L inhibitor at 72 hours soaking time was 63,8954 mpy, while the NaOH
corrosion medium the lowest corrosion rate when inhibited by 1,5 g/L for 72 hours was
1,0795 mpy . The greater the inhibitor concentration added and the longer soaking time of
the steel plate, the higher the inhibitory efficiency. The more corrosive media is, the lower
the value of inhibition efficiency. The highest HCl corrosion media inhibition efficiency
of banana peel extract was obtained at a concentration of 1,5 g/L at 72 hours soaking time
which was 61,4570%, whereas in NaOH corrosion media the greatest inhibition
efficiency of banana peel extract was obtained at concentration 1,5 g/L of 10,18% with 72
hours of soaking time.

ABSTRACT

Pineapple leaf waste can be utilized as a raw material for synthesis of bioplastic. the
objective from this research was to determine effect of comparison of chitosan and
cellulose from pineapple leaf fiber in synthesis of bioplastic and also to determine the
good composition of comparison who based on mechanical properties of bioplastic. This
research began by extracting cellulose from pineapple leaf fiber in three stages. The first
stage was alkaline treatment (delignification), pineapple leaf fiber were cut in size ± 5
mm. Then 400 ml of 1M NaOH was added in 40 grams of fiber and heated at 80°C for 4
hours then washed and filtered. The second stage was bleaching, result of delignification
process was dissolved in 5% NaOCl for 3 hours at 30°C then filtered. The third stage of
acid treatment, the results of bleaching added 3% HCl and heated at 60°C for 1 hour
then filtered and dried so that cellulose was obtained. Furthermore, synthesis of
bioplastics was made by mixing PVA 10%, cellulose 1 gram and chitosan with
comparison of chitosan: cellulose was 4:10; 5:10; 6:10. Then bioplastic mixture heated
and stirred at 70°C for 20 minutes then printed on the glass mold. Repeat the synthesis
for cellulose 2 gram. The good composition results in this study were chitosan with a
ratio of 5:10, cellulose 2 grams and PVA 10%. Where the results of the tensile strength,
elongation, biodegradation and water uptake produced were 15.36 MPa, 10%, 28.44%
for 2 weeks and 82.17% respectively. The results of the analysis of Scanning Electron
Microscopy (SEM) bioplastics showed that the surface of the bioplastic looks
homogeneous and by using the ImageJ application the average of cellulose particle size
was 0.246 µm.
