- Abstract
Human haircut waste (HHW) is categorized as waste that is difficult to decompose by microorganisms in water and soil and has high stability to temperature. HHW disposal carelessly will cause environmental pollution problems. Incineration of HHW produces gas with a pungent odor that can interfere with the health of humans and other living organisms. Therefore, there is a need for a solution to handle HHW to prevent environmental pollution. The main objective of this research is to study the reaction kinetics of gas and liquid smoke formation resulting from the catalytic pyrolysis of HHW and its characterization. Pyrolysis is the method used in this study. The catalytic pyrolysis of HHW resulting in the gas and liquid smoke formation follows a first-order reaction, with the R-value for gas and liquid smoke being R2 = 0.9609 and 0.9652, respectively. The relationship between the constant value of the reaction rate for the formation of gaseous products and temperature can be expressed in the Arrhenius equation k = Ae−2,985.2/T with an activation energy value (Ea) of 24.818 × 103 kJ/mol, while the liquid smoke is expressed in the Arrhenius equation k = Ae−1.297.5/T with an Ea of 10.787 × 103 kJ/mol. The characteristics of physical properties of liquid smoke from HHW are not yet suitable for use as fuel oil. Thereby, a method for further purification is needed so that the products can be used as fuel or other chemicals. Liquid smoke resulting from HHW pyrolysis is a mixture of 30 chemical compounds, and some of them are unstable compounds which could be indicated by a change in the color of the liquid smoke from pale yellow to dark brown in a relatively short time. Therefore, HHW liquid smoke must be stabilized with chemical stabilizers for long-term storage.
