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

The ability of students to understand and use concepts is the main key in scientifically explaining various chemical phenomena in nature. This ability develops relatively, often with the development of the learner level. This study aims to understand the level of understanding of the concept of salt hydrolysis of class XI high school students and chemistry students in the I, II, III and IV years and non-chemistry students with a total sample of 875 respondents. The instrument used in this study was a four-level multiple choice test. This diagnostic test combines the measurement of knowledge and reasoning with the level of self-confidence, as a reflection of the level of mastery of concepts. The data analysis technique used is quantitative, using SPSS 25 software, namely the non-parametric test (Kruskal Wallis test), comparing the significance value (Asmp. Sig) with a probability of 0.005. The results showed that the significance value of 0.00 was less than 0.05; That is, there is a significant difference in the level of understanding of the salt hydrolysis concept of students. The level of understanding of the concept of high school students is better than the first, second, third, and fourth year students in chemistry and non-chemistry students. These findings reinforce the story that although students have experienced learning experiences at a higher level, it does not guarantee the development of mastery of understanding the concept of hydrolysis
