Techno-Economic Evaluation of Gold Nanoparticles Using Banana Peel (Musa Paradisiaca)
English
Keywords:
Banana peel, Biosynthetic method, Economic evaluation, Gold nanoparticlesAbstract
Biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles using banana peels is
considered more economical and has been proven to
produce gold nanoparticles that have various applications in
the medical field. Therefore, the production of gold
nanoparticles needs to be developed on an industrial scale.
This paper aims to determine the feasibility of a gold
nanoparticle biosynthesis project using banana peels on an
industrial scale. The economic evaluation method uses an
analysis of several economic evaluation parameters such as
GPM (Gross Profit Margin), BEP (Break-Even Point), CNPV
(Cumulative Net Present Value), PBP (Payback Period), and PI
(Profitability Index). The results show that on an industrial
scale, it is assumed that the amount of AuNP production in
one year is 120 L. The total price required for production in
one year is 3,125,204.84 USD with annual sales of 3,240,000
USD so that the total price is 114,795.16 USD per year. Under
ideal conditions, the PBP analysis shows that the project will
have a profit in the 3rd year, and the PI analysis shows that
the initial capital costs can be covered since the 4th year. The
results of the analysis in some non-ideal conditions indicate
that project losses will occur. Based on the economic
evaluation, it can be concluded that the production of
industrial-scale gold nanoparticles by biosynthetic methods
using banana peels can be carried out with anticipation of
losses that will occur due to changes in some ideal
conditions.
