Abstract
This research was aimed to describe the development of a simple distillation KIT for green chemistry oriented organic fluid waste recycling, to analyze the results of validity and feasibility tests towards the KIT and to analyze the results of the distillation KIT optimization and the distillate purity test using refractometer. The research and development method was employed, consisting of analyzing problems in the field, planning the design and the guidebook, preparing the materials and apparatus, and conducting the development phases, starting from the experts’ validation towards the product to the limited product testing. The research was well conducted, producing a valid, feasible product which is made from safe materials, easy to use, cheap to build and provides interesting features. The instruments employed in this research were flowchart, storyboard, product validation and feasibility sheets. The product’s purity was tested using the distillate generated by separating liquid waste which contained organic solvents such as methanol, water and ethyl acetate.
Keywords: Green chemistry, KIT distillation, purity of distillate, organic fluid waste
