Abstract

Grass-like structured mesoporous carbon was prepared by the soft-template method using triblock copolymer Pluronic F127, affording an organic–organic composite structure between phloroglucinol and formaldehyde. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the as-synthesized mesoporous carbon is stable to 900 °C, and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the presence of carbon material structures at 2θ values of 22.020° and 42.420°. A hysteresis loop at relative partial pressures (P/Po) between 0.45 and 0.85 was observed in the N2 adsorption isotherm, indicating that the solid material exhibits mesoporous characteristics, with a homogeneous pore size distribution of 8.863 nm. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images revealed that the bulk carbon surface exhibits a uniform grass-like structure. Furthermore, the as-synthesized mesoporous carbon was investigated for the adsorption of a diazo dye Acid Red 119, and it exhibited an adsorption capacity of 217.7389 mg/g; this capacity is 1.53 times greater than that of commercial activated carbon. Therefore, this mesoporous carbon is a potential adsorbent for the treatment of synthetic coloring waste.

Abstract

Zinc oxide/porous silica (ZnO/SiO2) composite was used as a catalyst to transform glycerol to glycerol carbonate (GC), a chemical intermediate and monomer for the synthesis of new functionalized polymers. The ZnO/SiO2 catalyst was prepared using the direct precipitation method by mixing zinc sulfate solution with Aerosil 300 silica suspension and adding potassium oxalate solution. Catalytic transformation used glycerol and urea (molar ratio = 1:1) at 140 °C, 40 mbar, and various reaction times (1–6 h). The ZnO catalyst exhibited a high percentage of glycerol conversion of 82.38%; however, the yield of GC and selectivity toward GC were relatively low (i.e., 33.33% and 40.46%, respectively). The presence of silica support (ZnO/(x)SiO2 increased the selectivity toward GC and yield of GC to 74.40% to 77.83% and 57.86% to 64.30%, respectively. Furthermore, although its crystallinity decreased, the reused ZnO/(60)SiO2 catalyst still exhibited a high activity. The scanning transmission electron microscopy image indicated the migration of ZnO on the surface of the composite and the possibility of ZnO-glycolate formation, which were also confirmed by FTIR measurement. Nevertheless, these results showed that ZnO/SiO2 is a promising catalyst for the transformation of glycerol to GC.

Abstract

Natural zeolite and kaolin are abundant in Indonesia especially in Java and Belitung islands. These materials generally contain high aluminosilicate minerals that can be used as silica and alumina sources for the formation of NaY zeolite. This research aimed to identify the modification of NaY zeolite structure using Bayat natural zeolite as alumina source and Belitung kaolin as silica source and its catalytic activity for n-hexadecane cracking. Pretreatment of materials were performed in several steps: activation, purification, fragmentation for Bayat–Klaten natural zeolite, and silica extraction for Belitung kaolin. The synthesis of NaY was performed hydrothermally using seed-assisted method with crystallization times of 24 and 48 h. The surface area analysis showed a typical surface area of microporous zeolite (i.e., a pore diameter of 1.897 nm) and surface area of 309.4 cm2/g. Meanwhile, powder X-ray diffraction characterization showed that the as-synthesized materials have the structure of NaY zeolite. The optimum crystallization time was 24 h with Si/Al ratio of 4.10. Furthermore, both synthetic and natural sourced NaY zeolites were converted into HY zeolites and employed as cracking catalyst of n-hexadecane in a fixed-bed reactor at 500 °C for 75 s. The natural sourced HY resulted in 59.80% conversion and 59.80% yield of gasoline product (C9–C12). These values were lower than the results given by synthetic HY (80%).

Abstract

A photocatalyst supported on magnetic material allows the simple technique by using an external magnetic material to separate photocatalyst from the treated water. Thus, it is a magnetically separable nanoparticles photocatalyst (MSNP). The use of superparamagnetic nanoparticles that do not pose spontaneous magnetic moment thus could be dispersed in water and can be recollected easily by an external magnetic bar. We prepare Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 composite by hetero agglomeration of Fe3O4/SiO2 and TiO2 at a pH range of 3 to 6.2 in an aqueous slurry.The Fe3O4/SiO2 was prepared via co-precipitation of iron (II) and iron (III) ionic solution containing ammonium hydroxide and sodium silicate. The prepared composites were characterized by XRD, TEM, FTIR, and VSM, while the photocatalytic activities were tested toward paraquat in water. Based on zeta potential values, the Fe3O4/SiO2and TiO2 were being hetero agglomerated at pH 5 to obtain Fe3O4/SiO­2/TiO2 composite. The XRD characterization confirmed the presence of anatase, rutile, and magnetite crystal phases. TEM images showed that the Fe3O4 was covered by SiO2 and randomly attached to TiO2. The observed FTIR peak at 940-960 cm-1 attributed to -Si-O-Ti- bonding mode, ensuring photocatalyst (TiO2) adherence to the Fe3O4/SiO2 cluster. The prepared Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 composite showed good photocatalytic activity for the paraquat removal and showed a good magnetic property (VSM measurement)

Abstract

Carbon dioxide is a highly potential renewable C1 source for synthesis of fine chemicals. Utilization of CO2 in carboxylation reactions requires catalysts, such as: nickel complex for CO2 activation. However, the use of homogeneous catalysts in the reaction is still less efficient due to the difficulty of separating the product and catalyst from reaction mixture. Therefore, it is necessary to heterogenize the nickel complex in a solid support such as mesoporous carbon. In this report, mesoporous carbon (MC) prepared from phloroglucinol and formaldehyde through soft template method was used as a solid support for Ni-phenanthroline complex (Ni-phen). The catalyst was characterized by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope - Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), and Surface Area Analyzer (SAA). The result of SAA characterization showed that the pore diameter of MC was 6.7 nm and Ni-phen/MC was 5.1 nm which indicates that the materials have meso-size pores. Ni-phen/MC material was then used as a heterogeneous catalyst in the carboxylation reaction of phenylacetylene under an ambient CO2 pressure. The reactions were carried out in several variations of conditions such as temperature, time and catalyst types. Based on the results of the reaction, the best conditions were obtained at 25 °C for 8 h of reaction time using Ni-phen/MC catalyst.  Copyright © 2021 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

In this study, the atmospheric-pressure hydrogenation of CO2 was carried over bimetallic Ni-Ga catalyst supported on mesoporous carbon (MC). MC was successfully prepared using the soft-template method as proven by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller  Surface Area Analyzer (BET SAA), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) characterizations. The Ni-Ga/MC catalyst was synthesized using the impregnation method, and based on the XRD characterization, the formation of bimetallic Ni-Ga on the MC support is confirmed. The EDS mapping image shows the uniform distribution of the bimetallic Ni-Ga on the MC surface, especially for the Ni5Ga3/MC and NiGa3/MC catalysts. Moreover, the TEM images show an excellent pore size distribution. The formation of Ni-Ga alloy was identified as an active site in the CO2 hydrogenation. Ni5Ga3/MC catalyst exhibited a 10.80% conversion of CO2 with 588 μmol/g formaldehyde at 1 atm, 200 °C, and H2/CO2 ratio of 3/1. Copyright © 2022 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The conversion of lignocellulose biomass to value-added chemicals is challenging. In this paper, the conversion process of diphenyl ether (DPE) as a model lignin compound to phenol and vanillin compounds involved a bifunctional catalyst in reaching the simultaneous one-pot reaction in mild conditions with a high yield product. The catalysts used in this conversion are hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolites and their cobalt oxide and molybdenum oxide impregnated derivate. The ZSM-5 zeolites were synthesized using alternative precursors from natural resources, i.e., Indonesian natural zeolite and kaolin. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were determined with various characterization methods, such as: X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscope - Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), Surface Area Analyzer (SAA), and NH3-Temperature Programmed Desorption (NH3-TPD). The catalytic activity on conversion of DPE substrates showed that the MoOx/HZSM-5 produced the highest %yield for phenol and vanillin products; 31.96% at 250 °C and 7.63% at 200 °C, respectively. The correlation study between the physicochemical properties and the catalytic activity shows that the dominance of weak acid (>40%) and mesoporosity contribution (pore size of ~ 9 nm) play roles in giving the best catalytic activity at low temperatures.

Abstract

Herein, bionanocomposites of chitosan (CS)/silver nanoparticle/organoclay/zinc oxide nanoparticle (CS/Ag/OC/ZnO) were prepared for antibacterial food packaging. This study examines the time variation in the AgNP synthesis method by comparing local (74˗85% deacetylated) and commercial chitosan (75%˗85% deacetylated) as a reducing and capping agent and seeks to reconstruct the optimum ratio formulations of AgNPs and ZnONPs in bionanocomposites for food packaging. The results reveal that the synthesis of AgNPs was successfully carried out using a local chitosan solution as a reducing and capping agent. The CS/Ag/OC/ZnO films exhibit structural, mechanical, and optical properties suitable for food packaging and antibacterial activity on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The relative inhibition zone increased with increasing numbers of AgNPs and ZnONPs. The inhibition zone values indicated that E. coli and S. aureus bacteria were sensitive to the film, namely 12.5 ± 1.5 mm, and 16 ± 0.0 mm, respectively.

Abstract

One of the strategies to overcome the COVID-19 disease is through rapid diagnostic tests using the Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test. The RT-PCR test is a detection and quantification test of nucleic acids, initiated by the pre-analytical step of purification of the nucleic acids. Purification of nucleic acid requires silica-based materials as a solid phase-extraction matrix or column. Herein, Silica Coarse (SC) in the form of suspension and powder columns; was prepared from natural Indonesian Kaolinite as an alternative extraction column to binding RNA of SARS-CoV-2. The RNA binding and releasing ability in SC was enhanced with the support of chaotropic agents in the form of Na+ and Guanidium+ as charged balancing cations, embedded in the silicate layer inside the kaolinite framework. SC, which has been supported with Na+ and Guanidium+ respectively, then studied its physicochemical characteristics using FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction technique, scanning electron microscopy, and BET surface area and pore size measurement. This work shows that the modified SC suspension column could extract RNA of SARS-CoV-2 that amplified better in the RT PCR test than SC powder columns, with the initial Ct value of all the SARS-CoV-2 specimens in the range < 20.

Abstract

The electrochemical detection method of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) using carbon foam electrodes have been successfully developed. The carbon foam was prepared from carbon-coated nickel foam which is synthesized using a hydrothermal-carbonization method. SEM characterization indicated that the optimum synthesis of carbon-coated nickel foam has been achieved on the 4th layer coating process with an expected spherical structure, while characterization using FTIR and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the formation of graphitic material with D band and G band characteristics. An electroactive surface area of ​​0.0236 cm2 was achieved. Cyclic voltammetry of HOCl in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution pH 6.0 showed the best current response for HOCl reduction occurs at a potential of -0.3 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Further detection of HOCl using amperometry technique in the concentration range of 2-200 μg/mL showed good linearity with sensitivity of 9.112 mA/µg/L and an estimated detection limit of 1.96 µg/mL. Good repetition is indicated by the RSD value of 2.499 % (n=5). This developed sensor also showed good selectivity in the presence of interference compounds, such as FeCl2 and CuSO4. Besides, the determination of HOCl in tap water has been successfully conducted and generated a comparable result with the UV-VIS method (3.30 µg/mL hypochlorite). The results indicated that the developed sensor is promising for the detection of HOCl in environmental applications.
