The extraction of essential oils from patchouli leaves ( Pogostemon cablin Benth) using a microwave air-hydrodistillation method as a new green technique

Nowadays, patchouli oil extraction in Indonesia is generally carried out using conventional methods, although such methods require large amounts of energy, solvents in significant amounts, and quite a long time. Therefore, in this study, patchouli oil extraction was done using a microwave hydrodistillation method. In addition to optimizing the extraction process of patchouli oil, this study used a development of the microwave hydrodistillation method, microwave air-hydrodistillation. Based on this research, it can be seen that patchouli oil extraction using the microwave air-hydrodistillation method is faster, produces a better yield and a higher accumulation of recovery than extraction using the standard microwave hydrodistillation method. A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the composition of the compounds in the patchouli oils shows that the heavy fraction components obtained by microwave air-hydrodistillation are more numerous than those obtained using the microwave hydrodistillation method. Furthermore, an analysis of the electric consumption and the environmental impact of the microwave air-hydrodistillation method for patchouli oil extraction indicates that this method can be considered a new green technique.

Chemical composition of essential oil of Indonesia sandalwood extracted by microwave-assisted hydrodistillation

The essential oil from sandalwood, grown in Indonesia was extracted by microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) at atmospheric pressure and temperature of 100 °C for 120 min. The obtained compounds were removed from the aqueous extract by simple decantation and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). MAHD could be a good alternative for the isolation of essential oils from sandalwood. The MAHD method offers the possibility for better reproduction of the natural aroma of the sandalwood oil than that obtained using conventional hydrodistillation. Twenty-three compounds were identified representing approximately 97% of the total detected compounds. The main compound of the oil was the oxygenated terpene santalol (52.83%). The other main compounds of the essential oil were α-bergamotol (10.18%), nuciferol (7.07%), γ-elemene (3.64%), cis-lanceol (2.74%) and α-cedrol (2.65%).

Box-Behnken design for investigation of microwave-assisted extraction of patchouli oil

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) technique was employed to extract the essential oil from patchouli (Pogostemon cablin). The optimal conditions for microwave-assisted extraction of patchouli oil were determined by response surface methodology. A Box-Behnken design (BBD) was applied to evaluate the effects of three independent variables (microwave power (A: 400–800 W), plant material to solvent ratio (B: 0.10–0.20 g mL−1) and extraction time (C: 20–60 min)) on the extraction yield of patchouli oil. The correlation analysis of the mathematical-regression model indicated that quadratic polynomial model could be employed to optimize the microwave extraction of patchouli oil. The optimal extraction conditions of patchouli oil was microwave power 634.024 W, plant material to solvent ratio 0.147648 g ml−1 and extraction time 51.6174 min. The maximum patchouli oil yield was 2.80516% under these optimal conditions. Under the extraction condition, the experimental values agreed with the predicted results by analysis of variance. It indicated high fitness of the model used and the success of response surface methodology for optimizing and reflect the expected extraction condition.

Application of Carboxymethyl Chitosan-Benzaldehyde as Anticorrosion Agent on Steel

Corrosion is one of the problems that is often found in daily life especially in petroleum and gas industry. Carboxymethyl chitosan- (CMC-) benzaldehyde was synthesized as corrosion inhibitor for steel. Corrosion rate was determined by potentiostatic polarization method in HCl 1 M. Dripping and coating, two different treatment, were used to drop and coat steel by CMC-benzaldehyde. The results showed that CMC-benzaldehyde could inhibit the corrosion rate of steel with concentration of 1 g, 3 g, 5 g, and 7 g in 60 mL of solvent. Coating steel with CMC-benzaldehyde with concentration of 7 g/60 mL of solvent and starch of 0.1 g/mL showed the highest efficiency to inhibit corrosion rate of steel. These treatments give corrosion efficiency of 99.8%.
