Abstract

There is often a drawback during the determination of Eu in aqueous solvents using the voltammetric method. The current signal from water can reduce that of the element, which causes difficulty while separating the Eu signal from other rare earth elements (REE). Therefore, this study used acetonitrile as a solvent due to its high electrical conductivity and wide potential range. The optimum conditions for the determination of Eu in acetonitrile using the Box-Behnken design include 74.56 seconds deposition time, 0.125 V amplitude modulation, and -2.0 V potential deposition. The platinum electrode's performance showed a recovery value of 98.91% and accuracy and precision (in %RSD) of 96.67% and 1.11%, respectively. Furthermore, detection and quantitation limits of 0.6 mg/L and 5.1 mg/L were recorded from the analysis. It concluded that the differential pulse voltammetry method was applied to determine the presence of Eu in acetonitrile.

Abstract

Rhodamine B is a widely used dye in the textile sector. However, the wastewater produced during the dyeing process presents a notable source of pollution, contaminating water and posing a threat to aquatic ecosystems due to its presence in liquid waste. Photocatalysis is a technique for breaking down toxic textile dye waste a semiconductor as a catalyst, valued for its high sensitivity and eco-friendly nature. In this research, zinc oxide particles were synthesized via a green synthesis approach using precipitation, employing natural capping agents from banana peel and tea leaf to degrade the synthetic dye of rhodamine B. The catalyst material was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance (UV-DRS). The photodegradation performance of rhodamine B was determined under UV light exposure for 3 hours. The XRD spectra of ZnO show the specific peaks of 2θ at 31.8°, 34.5°, and 36.3° with a crystallinity value of around 79.50%. The SEM result shows that the morphology of ZnO is in cotton-like form with a minimum band gap of 3.17 eV. The cotton-like ZnO particles demonstrated superior photodegradation efficiency for Rhodamine B, achieving 61.8%, compared to 47.9% with pure ZnO. It suggests that synthesizing ZnO particles with banana peels and tea leaf extracts boosts photodegradation efficiency by up to 20% compared to pure ZnO. This research highlights the potential of utilizing eco-friendly and sustainable methods as a greener approach for reducing waste in environmental applications.

Abstract

Rare earth elements (REEs) are garnering significant attention in diverse fields due to their important and fascinating properties. Among these REEs, samarium (Sm) has numerous advantages and benefits. Before using Sm, it must be separated from its natural sources due to the formation of complex compounds with other elements. To achieve this, liquid-liquid extraction emerges as one of the REE separation methods, presenting several advantages, including a streamlined process. Various methods can be used to analyze extraction results, such as ICP-MS and XRF. In comparison, UV-Vis spectrophotometry has significant advantages compared to other methods, it provides a simple approach to determining the level of a substance, and the results given are quite accurate, while differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) is one of the electrochemical analysis methods that is expected to provide faster and accurate analysis results. This study aims to determine the value of analytical parameters, Kd of Sm(III) liquid-liquid extraction results using DPV analysis and UV-Vis spectrophotometry methods. The DPV method yielded LoD 1.24 mg/L,  accuracy 98.39%, and %recovery 106.69%. The extraction data obtained Kd Sm values ranging from 6.0019-7.3860. The UV-Vis spectrophotometry results provided an individual extraction efficiency of Sm(III) of 88.54%. This method obtained LoD 0.71 mg/L, accuracy 96.00%, and %recovery 104.00%.
