ABSTRAK

Pengoptimuman parameter kajian menggunakan rangsangan permukaan (RSM) merupakan kaedah yang dijangka dapat membantu penjimatan masa dan kos tindak balas keseluruhan jika dibandingkan dengan kaedah pengoptimuman secara tradisi. Dalam kajian ini, kaedah RSM digunakan untuk mengoptimumkan parameter tindak balas penghidrogenan LNR menggunakan sumber diimida daripada termolisis p-toluenasulfonil hidrazida (TSH) dalam pelarut o-xilena. Reka bentuk komposit putaran tengah (CCRD) menggunakan RSM digunakan dengan 3 parameter iaitu nisbah berat TSH: LNR, suhu dan masa tindak balas. Melalui reka bentuk ini, model kuadratik untuk peratusan penghidrogenan berjaya diperoleh. Model kuadratik ini adalah signifikan dengan pekali kolerasi iaitu 0.9177. Berdasarkan data ANOVA yang diperoleh, masa dan suhu tindak balas memberi kesan yang signifikan terhadap peratus penghidrogenan getah asli cecair berbanding faktor nisbah berat TSH: LNR. Keadaan optimum bagi tindak balas penghidrogenan ini adalah pada nisbah berat TSH: LNR, 1.41, masa tindak balas 2.22 jam dan suhu tindak balas 114.05°C dengan peratus penghidrogenan 81.83%. Penggunaan RSM dalam penghasilan HLNR memudahkan kajian dalam memberikan keputusan dengan peratusan penghidrogenan yang dikehendaki menggunakan persamaan polinomial kuadratik yang diperoleh.

ABSTRACT

Optimization of research parameter using response surface methods (RSM) is expected to help save the overall time and cost of the reaction compared to traditional method of optimization. In this research, RSM is used for optimization of hydrogenation of LNR using diimide source from thermolysis of p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazide (TSH) in o-xylene solvent. Central composite rotatable design (CCRD) using RSM with 3 factors which are weight ratio TSH: LNR, reaction time and reaction temperature. Using this design, quadratic model for percentage of hydrogenation was obtained. This quadratic model was significant to the correlation coefficient of 0.9177. Based on ANOVA, the reaction time and reaction temperature were more significant on the percentage of hydrogenation of LNR compared to the weight ratio TSH: LNR. The optimum condition of the hydrogenation reaction was obtained at 1.41 weight ratio of TSH: LNR, reaction time of 2.22 h and reaction temperature of 114.05°C with 81.83% of hydrogenation. The use of RSM in HLNR preparation assist in the production of desired hydrogenation percentage based on the quadratic polynomial equation obtained.
