Sustainable Green Chemical Processing of Surfactant Synthesized from Bagasse for Enhanced Oil Recovery using Microwave Radiation

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to show the processing of surfactants from bagasse with the green chemical concept that is using vegetable raw materials. This is a laboratory research method, which synthesized become sodium ligno sulfonate (SLS) surfactant using two processes, hydrolisys and sulfonation with a green chemical process that is using microwave radiation (Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis / MAOS). In addition to performing functional group analysis, characterization was carried out by analyzing the structure of the lignin amination product by measuring 1H-NMR with the results of the formation of alkene groups, sulfonate groups and carboxylates. The Microwave-assisted Organic Synthesis (MAOS) method has succeeded in synthesizing contaminated and alkylated lignin derivative compounds from bagasse lignin and synthesizing lignosulfonicderivatives. Derivatives of lignosulfonate synthesized from bagasse can be done with a green chemical processes that are environmentally friendly. Impact of the reasearch is waste of the bagasse can be used as a product that has added value for the oil sector in Indonesia.
