A Design Study of Cajaput Oil Industry Based on Carbon Nanodots

Abstract

The aim of this study was to produce a design of a cajaput oil industry that can improve the products of cajaput oil industry based on carbon nanodots (C-dots). The method used in this study was research and development (R&D) with observation at the Sendang Mole cajaput oil factory and simple experiments to produce C-dots-based products from solid and liquid wastes of the cajaput oil factory. The results of this study are samples of C-dots-based products obtained from solid and liquid wastes of cajaput oil factory and also a proposed design of improved cajaput oil industry. The improved cajaput oil industry is represented in the form of a process design (Fig. 3) and a cardboard mock-up of the cajaput oil industry (Fig. 4). The current cajaput oil factory in Sendang Mole produces three kinds of products, i.e.: pure cajaput oil (1 product), briquettes (2 product), and compost (3 product). Moreover, by improving the cajaput oil industry according to Figs. 3 and 4, the products can be expanded to an overall 12 products based on the C-dots.
