Abstract

Photodegradation of organic pollutants depends significantly on the structure of metal oxide-based semiconductor photocatalysts. ZnO/ZSM-5 has shown the potential to significantly improve its photocatalytic efficiency for removing waterborne pollutants. ZnO/ZSM-5 has been reported to be an active catalyst for degrading methylene blue. These methods commonly involve various catalytic reactions, with the Langmuir-Hinshelwood process being used to describe the reaction kinetics. A kinetic study on the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue using ZnO/ZSM-5 was conducted under UV-LED lamp irradiation. ZnO/ZSM-5 was characterized using XRD, SEM, and N2 adsorption-desorption, and it was prepared via the impregnation method. The interaction between ZnO/ZSM-5 and methylene blue solutions over a period of 30 to 180 minutes was monitored using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue followed first-order rate kinetics. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) kinetic analysis revealed that the photocatalytic reaction constant (kc) was 4.207 L.mg-1. menit-1, and the Langmuir-Hinshelwood constant (K) was 261.509 L.mg-1.

Abstract

Dye hurts the threat of human health problems and environmental pollution. Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) based membrane is a good material to be used as an dye separation membrane for having the high hydrophilicity of the membrane. It has been successfully isolated from kapok (ceiba pentandra) with characteristic X-ray diffraction patterns and FTIR absorption peaks, which corresponded to the typical peaks of cellulose. The ultrafiltration membrane was made up of a cellulose acetate matrix created using the phase inversion method. Characterization results indicated that the inclusion of MCC derived from kapok led to a reduction in the contact angle from 65 to 52o, and an increase in membrane porosity from 82 to 85%. In the separation of dye, the composite membrane incorporating MCC filler demonstrated superior performance compared to the membrane lacking MCC, manifesting in an elevated water flux from 43 to 84 L/m².h and methylene blue (MB) rejection from 64 to 99%. The use of MCC as a filler in cellulose acetate membranes can enhance the characteristics and performance of the membrane in MB separation.

Abstract

Kampung Sanan merupakan kampung yang mengelola perternakan sapi, sehingga menghasilkan banuak kotoran Sapi. Untuk memanfaatkan kotoran sapi di Kampung Sanan, kami mengajak warga Kampung Sanan mengembangkan pemanfaatan kotoran sapi menjadi biobriket. Biobriket yang dihasilkan dari kampung Sanan ini telah memenuhi standar SNI dan memiliki kualitas yang layak dengan pengujian sifat fisik dan termal. Selain itu, Program ini berpotensi menjadi aplikasi yang berkelanjutan dalam mendukung energi terbarukan berbasis biomassa, sekaligus memberikan dampak positif bagi pengelolaan limbah dan pemenuhan kebutuhan energi lokal.

Abstract

This research focuses on enhancing hydrogen production via the photocatalytic method using a TiO2 catalyst with nitrogen doping and morphology modification to improve efficiency. Nitrogen-doped TiO2 nanowires (NTN) were successfully hydrothermally grown on titanium foil to produce thin-film photocatalysts for the visible-light-driven production of hydrogen. Nitrogen incorporation induced bandgap narrowing, from 3.18 eV to 2.85 eV, by introducing N 2p states close to the valence band, thereby increasing visible-light absorption. Structural analyses confirmed the formation of lattice strain and oxygen vacancies associated with substitutional doping, while the one-dimensional nanowire architecture enhanced charge transport and reduced carrier recombination pathways. The optimized N–TiO2 NWs demonstrated the highest hydrogen evolution rate of 2.385 µmol/cm2 under 180 minutes of visible-light irradiation, corresponding to a hydrogen evolution rate of 0.795 µmol/cm²/h, without a noble-metal co-catalyst. A strong correlation is established between nitrogen-induced surface electronic modification and the enhancement of nanowire-driven charge separation. This study presents a recyclable and scalable thin-film photocatalyst design suitable for future solar hydrogen production systems. Copyright © 2026 by Authors, Published by BCREC Publishing Group.
