Abstract

We demonstrated the synthesis of spherical nanostructured g-Al2O3 using reverse micelle templating to enhance the surface area and reactant accessibility. Three different surfactants were used in this study: benzalkonium chloride (BZK), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). We obtained spherical nanostructured particles only using CTAB that form a reverse micelle emulsion. The particles have wide size distribution with an average size of 2.54 mm. The spherical particles consist of nanoplate crystallites with size 20-40 nm randomly arranged forming intercrystallite spaces. The crystalline phase of as-synthesized and calcined particles was boehmite and g-Al2O3, respectively as determined by XRD analysis. Here, the preserved particle morphology during boehmite to g-Al2O3 transformation opens a facile route to synthesize g-Al2O3 particles with complex morphology. The specific surface area of synthesized particles is 201 m2/g, which is around five times higher than the conventional g-Al2O3 (Aldrich 544833). Spherical nanostructured g-Al2O3 provides wide potential applications in catalysis due to its high density closed packed structure, large surface area, and high accessibility.

Abstract

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a semiconductor material that plays an important role in photocatalysis. Bicontinuous concentric lamellar (bcl) is an interesting morphology with an open channel pore structure that has been successfully synthesized on silica-based materials. If bcl morphology can be applied in TiO2 system, then many surface properties of TiO2 can be enhanced, i.e. photocatalytic activity. A simple and effective strategy has been demonstrated to transform aggregated and spherical TiO2 particles to bcl morphology via alkaline hydrothermal route. Alkaline hydrothermal treatment successfully transforms TiO2 particle surface to have bcl morphology through swelling with ammonia then followed by phase segregation process. We proposed this strategy as a general pathway to transform the particle surface with any shape to have bcl morphology.

Abstract

Salah satu alasan sekolah masih belum dibuka secara penuh hingga kini adalah potensi terjadinya penularan melalui siswa-siswa yang berkumpul dalam waktu lama di ruang tertutup. Beberapa penelitian menunjukan bahwa menutup sekolah akan memperlambat perkembangan infeksi. Namun, langkah-langkah yang lebih luas seperti social distancing, terbukti memiliki efek pengendalian yang lebih besar. Risiko dari pembukaan sekolah akan bergantung pada seberapa baik sekolah mengendalikan penularan, misalnya dengan penggunaan masker dan membatasi okupansi. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan kembali penguatan perilaku untuk mencegah penularan penyakit Covid-19 kepada siswa dan guru. Bentuk Kegiatan Pengabdian yang dilakukan adalah pembagian masker dan edukasi mengenai dampak penyakit Covid-19 kepada siswa dan guru SDK Seoam 1 Eban, Kefamenanu. Hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah para siswa dan guru dapat melakukan protokol kesehatan secara sadar dan benar yaitu melalui 3M: memakai masker, menjaga jarak dan menghindari kerumunan, serta mencuci tangan pakai sabun. Kata Kunci: Covid-19, Protokol Kesehatan, Guru dan Siswa

Abstract

The presence of scale is a serious problem in the petroleum industry, and some efforts should be made to control scale formation. Oligosuccinimide (OSI) is an oligomer with several repeating units of succinimide. The structure of the OSI main chain and end groups has never been comprehensively analyzed. Meanwhile, OSI is potentially a scale inhibitor due to chelating properties, high polarity, and high solubility. This study investigates the molecular structure of oligosuccinimide, focusing on the main chain and end groups. Synthesis was carried out by thermal condensation between maleic anhydride and ammonium carbonate using a 1H and 13C NMR spectroscope equipped with Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer 135, Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Coherence, and Single Quantum Coherence. The NMR analysis results detected the presence of the main chain and several synthesized OSI end groups, such as the amino, succinimide, and maleimide end groups. However, the dicarboxylic acid end group and other irregular structures, as in polysuccinimide (various synthesis methods), were not identified. It confirmed that our thermal condensation method produced OSI with less irregular structures than previous methods. Evaluation of OSI as CaCO3 and CaSO4 scales inhibitor showed reasonably good performance in very small concentrations. The inhibition efficiency was 73.20% for the CaCO3 scale with 10 mg.L-1 and 55.29% for the CaSO4 scale with 10 mg.L-1 inhibitor concentration. Analysis of thermal stability informed OSI has good thermal stability because it started to be degraded at 353.38 °C.

Abstract

Seng oksida (ZnO) adalah salah satu material semikonduktor yang banyak diaplikasikan dalam berbagai bidang, salah satunya adalah sebagai fotokatalis. Karakteristik penting untuk menunjang aplikasi ZnO sebagai fotokatalis adalah luas permukaan dan densitas cacat kristal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan potensinya sebagai fotokatalis dengan cara mengontrol morfologi dan densitas cacat kristal melalui sintesis menggunakan campuran pelarut air-etilen glikol. Struktur partikel hasil sintesis dikarakterisasi menggunakan difraksi sinar x (XRD), morfologinya diamati menggunakan Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), dan energi celah pita partikel ditentukan menggunakan persamaan Kubelka-Munk berdasarkan spektrum absorpsi yang diukur manggunakan UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ZnO berstuktur kristal wurtzite dengan morfologi tiga dimensi berstruktur nano berhasil disintesis menggunakan campuran pelarut air-etilen glikol dengan keberadaan urea sebagai agen penghidrolisis. Etilen glikol berperan sebagai capping agent yang teradsorpsi ke permukaan kristal ZnO, sehingga mengarahkan petumbuhan kristal anisotropik dan menghasilkan ZnO berstruktur nano. Meskipun ZnO hasil sintesis memiliki energi celah pita lebar (3,16 eV), keberadaan cacat kristal dapat meningkatkan performanya dalam berbagai aplikasi jika dibandingkan dengan ZnO konvensional. Karakteristik material yang dihasilkan menunjukkan bahwa partikel ZnO hasil sintesis berpotensi memiliki kinerja unggul dalam aplikasinya sebagai fotokatalis.

Abstract

Water pollution caused by organic dyes represents a significant environmental issue demanding effective treatment methods. This study aimed to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles at a low temperature using a water-methanol mixed solvent and evaluate their photocatalytic potential for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized at a low temperature of 60°C utilizing a mixture of water and methanol as the solvent. Characterization results from X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) confirmed that the synthesized material consists of wurtzite structure ZnO nanoparticles. Analysis using UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) showed that the material possesses a band gap energy of 3.16 eV. The as-synthesized ZnO nanoparticles exhibited effective photocatalytic activity for the degradation of the model pollutant RhB under UV light irradiation. A high photodegradation efficiency of 95.58% was achieved within 45 minutes, with a first-order reaction rate constant (k) of 0.0571 min⁻¹. This low-temperature synthesis method based on the water-methanol solvent mixture proved to be a promising and efficient route for producing active ZnO photocatalysts potentially applicable in treating organic dye-contaminated wastewater.

Abstract

The availability of hand sanitizers, which is one of the Covid-19 prevention media, is becoming scarce and expensive due to their increasing use, making them difficult to reach by the public. Therefore we need another source of active ingredients that more easily obtained, available in abundant quantities and more economically to be used as a substtitute for hand sanitizer raw materials by the public. Potential alternantive material to be used as raw material for hand sanitizer is betel leaves, however, public knowledge about the benefits and methods of processing betel leaves into hand sanitizer is very limited. Therefore, education about the use of betel leaves into natural hand sanitizer products to rural communitties needs to be done to increase people’s insight about making natural hand sanitizer and increase public awareness in maintaining hygiene by providing and using similar products.
