Abstract

Nano-MgO was synthesized via a nitrate–citrate sol–gel combustion method, in which magnesium nitrate acted as the oxidizing precursor and citric acid served simultaneously as the chelating agent and organic fuel. The formation of a homogeneous Mg–citrate coordination network enabled controlled gelation, while the auto-combustion process produced a porous MgO matrix composed of ultrafine crystallites. Calcination at 800 °C promoted phase consolidation, removal of organic residues, and enhanced long-range atomic ordering. X-ray diffraction confirmed the exclusive formation of the cubic periclase phase (fm3m), with no detectable hydroxide or carbonate impurities. Crystallite size analysis yielded an average size of 16.03 nm based on the Scherrer equation, whereas the Williamson–Hall method produced a larger value of 25.44 nm with a microstrain of 5.37 × 10-4. indicating minimal lattice distortion. The discrepancy between the two size estimates reflects the contribution of microstrain effect not considered in the Scherrer approach. Overall, the synthesized nano-MgO exhibits high crystallinity, narrow crystallite size distribution, and excellent structural stability, highlighting its potential for catalytic, gas-sensing, and high-temperature functional applications. These results demonstrate that the sol–gel combustion method is an efficient and reliable strategy for producing nanocrystalline MgO with well-controlled structural characteristics.

Abstract

This study analyzed the quality of borehole water in Green View Sunggal Housing located in a rice field area. This research used a descriptive analytical method with a cross-sectional design. Samples were taken from 25 boreholes through a purposive sampling technique divided into three zones: north (8 wells), middle (7 wells), and south (10 wells). The parameters evaluated included physical aspects (temperature, odor, taste, color, turbidity) and chemical aspects (pH, hardness, Fe, Mn, nitrate, nitrite, chloride). Laboratory analysis was carried out at the Medan State Polytechnic following SNI standards and the APHA method, with statistical analysis using SPSS for Pearson correlation and linear regression. The results showed that the majority of parameters met the standards of Permenkes No. 32 of 2017. The parameters of temperature, odor, taste, hardness, manganese, nitrate, nitrite, and chloride reached a compliance level of 100%. However, there were discrepancies in color (92%), turbidity (84%), pH (64%), and iron content (80%). Samples from the southern zone adjacent to rice fields within a 200-meter radius showed significant problems with acidic pH (5.8-6.4) and excessive iron content (1.12-1.42 mg/L). Statistical analysis revealed significant correlations between well depth, distance from rice fields, and water quality. Distance from rice fields was the strongest predictor for nitrate (R² = 0.475) and iron (R² = 0.374). The study concluded that better environmental management is needed to maintain and improve water quality in the residential area.

Abstract

The increasing urgency to monitor and mitigate environmental pollution has driven significant interest in the development of advanced sensing technologies. Nanotechnology presents promising solutions through the application of nanoscale materials, among which maghemite nanoparticles (γ-Fe2O3) have garnered considerable attention due to their unique physicochemical properties, high chemical stability, a large specific surface area, and superparamagnetic behavior, making them suitable for separation, target deployment, and sensor regeneration. It functionalized maghemite nanoparticles to enhance their selectivity toward specific pollutants, including heavy metals ( e.g., Pb2+ and Cd2+) and toxic gases (e.g., NO, NH3, and H2S). These articles present a review of the structural and physicochemical characteristics of maghemite nanoparticles, including commonly applied synthesis methods, sensor mechanism, and their applications in pollutant detection, such as heavy metals and toxic gases. The review also highlights current challenges and outlines future directions for the development of more efficient, affordable, and sustainable maghemite-based sensors for next-generation environmental monitoring systems.

Abstract

Selectively producing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from biomass-derived carbohydrates is key in valorizing renewable resources into biobased chemicals and fuels. HMF is a crucial bio-based platform chemical, but its selective production from glucose and fructose remains challenging due to side reactions and product degradation. Modified niobium(V) oxide (Nb2O5) catalysts have shown great promise owing to their intrinsic Brøntsted and Lewis acidity, thermal stability, and surface tunability. This review overviews recent advances in catalyst design, including metal doping, structural tuning, and hybridization with porous materials. These have significantly improved HMF yields -up to 80%- while enhancing catalyst selectivity and reusability. A systematic review with a descriptive-analytical approach was applied, analyzing literature from 2015 to 2025 across major scientific databases. Furthermore, challenges, including side-product formation and active site leaching, are highlighted alongside future perspectives for scalable and green HMF synthesis using Nb-based catalysts. This review aims to guide the rational development of modified Nb2O5 catalysts for efficient biomass transformation. These developments are crucial for advancing Nb-based catalytic platforms and unlocking the full potential of HMF in a circular, bio-based chemical industry.

Abstract

Heavy metal contamination, especially by lead (Pb) and copper (Cu), is a major environmental issue in aquatic ecosystems caused by industrial, mining, and agricultural activities. These metals are toxic, persistent, and bioaccumulative, posing risks to aquatic life and human health. Various remediation methods have been developed, including physical, chemical, and biological approaches; however, their effectiveness on a large scale remains limited. This study explores the potential of Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) for in vitro phytoremediation of Pb and Cu. Plants were grown in Hoagland solution containing 100 mg/L of each metal. Metal accumulation in plant tissues was measured using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), and chlorophyll content was analyzed with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that Pb primarily accumulated in the roots, while Cu was more translocated to the leaves. Chlorophyll levels decreased more significantly in Cu-treated plants, indicating higher stress. These findings suggest that E. crassipes is a promising, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly option for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated waters. The implementation of this technology could contribute to improving environmental quality and reducing the risk of heavy metal exposure to both ecosystems and human health.
