Abstract

Mercury (Hg) as a gold extractor can cause environmental pollution, therefore, hyperaccumulator plants are needed, such as mustard greens (Brassica juncea L). Research on the effect of planting time of mustard greens on the adsorption of mercury (Hg) metal ion on contaminated soil waste has been carried out. The purpose of this research was to determine the concentration and adsorption mechanism of Hg metal ion from contaminated soil at roots and canopy of mustard plants at various planting times. Amount of Hg metal ion adsorbed on the roots and canopy of mustard greens at 2, 4, and 6 weeks of planting times were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The results showed that the average levels of Hg metal ion adsorption at various planting time of 2, 4, and 6 weeks at roots were 156.611 μg/g, 810.256 μg/g, and 888.711 μg/g, respectively, and at the canopy were 69.486 μg/g, 134.580 μg/g, and 60.416 μg/g, respectively. The planting time of 6 weeks resulted in the highest adsorption ability of Hg at the roots. The results of the bioconcentration factor (BCF) test showed that the adsorption of Hg in the roots and canopy of the mustard plant took place using a phytoextraction mechanism (BCF < 1).

Abstract

This research was conducted by making VCO-based liquid soap with the addition of ethanol extract from Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera). The purpose of this research was to determine the mass ratio of ethanol extracts of Moringa leaves and Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) which produces soap with the highest antibacterial activity against tested bacteria. The other purpose is to determine the effect of the mass ratio against the viscosity of liquid soap. The research design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with the independent variables being the mass ratio of Moringa leaf ethanol extract and VCO which consists of five levels of 0:75 (F1), 1.5:73.5 (F2), 3:72(F3), and 4.5:70.5(F4) (w/w). The soap produced was tested for antibacterial activity againts Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus epidermidis using agar diffusion method as well as viscosity tests. The results showed that the antibacterial activity of liquid soap tends to be higher with increasing levels of ethanol extract of Moringa leaves. The liquid soap formula with the ratio of Moringa leaf ethanol extract: VCO of 3:72 (w/w) (Formula F3) had relatively higher antibacterial activity against the three tested bacteria. The inhibition zones against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus epidermidis were 22.302 mm, 33.230 mm, and 36.490 mm, respectively, while the viscosity value of liquid soap was 47.433 cP.

Abstract

Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) are plantation waste that has the potential to be used as activated carbon. The main component of OPEFB is lignocellulosic which can be a source of activated carbon and utilized for Pb2+ ion adsorption. The use of activated carbon activated by NaOH still requires optimization, especially in determining the contact time and optimum adsorption pH. This study aims to determine the effect of pH and contact time on the adsorption of Pb2+ and to determine the efficiency of the adsorbent on the adsorption of Pb2+. In this study, activated carbon from OPEFB was carbonized at 300oC for 1 hour, followed by activation using NaOH 0.5%. The results showed that the use of pH 5 and a contact time of 90 minutes had a relatively higher Pb2+ adsorption than other conditions. However, the use of variations in pH and contact time had no significant effect on the adsorption of Pb2+ ions. Adsorbents with variations in pH 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 were able to absorb Pb2+ of 99.73%, 99.86%, 99.74%, 99.79%, and 99.80%, respectively. Adsorbents with variations in contact time of 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 minutes were able to absorb Pb2+ of 99.28%, 99.40%, 99.48%, 99.44%, and 99.48%, respectively.

Abstract

The study of the potential of Gempol wood stem extract (Nauclea orientalis L.) with three solvent polarities has been exercised to determine the extract with a certain polarity and the smallest concentration that can inhibit the growth of bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coil. Extraction is performed using the maceration method with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol as solvents. Furthermore, the potency in inhibiting the growth of bacteria was observed by the diffusion method with a range of extract concentrations from the largest to the smallest. The extract's ability to inhibit bacterial growth in the time range of up to 24 hours was measured using the turbidimetric method. The results showed that ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts were able to inhibit the growth of both bacteria in a wide concentration range (100 %– 5%), although n-hexane extracts showed the highest percentage in inhibiting both bacteria (15.27 mm and 16.89 mm, respectively). Turbidimetric assays showed the extract was stronger in inhibiting S. aureus compared to E. coli in the logarithmic phase range of 12 hours. This study showed that semipolar and polar extracts can inhibit the growth of bacteria with a wider concentration range compared to non-polar extracts despite having a higher inhibition capability.

Abstract

Corn cobs which generally only become waste can be processed into activated carbon and used for the absorption of heavy metals, such as copper(II) ions. This study aims to determine the morphology of corn cobs charcoal after activation, determine the isothermal adsorption model of copper (II) metal ions on corncob-activated carbon, and then determine the adsorption capacity of copper (II) metal ions on corncob-activated carbon. The morphology of the corncob-activated charcoal obtained was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Isothermal adsorption of copper (II) ions was carried out with various concentrations of copper (II) ions of 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 ppm. The results of the analysis using SEM showed that the surface shape of the corncob-activated charcoal is regular and has pores with a pore diameter obtained in the range between 1.08-1.26 m and 1.38-1.59 m. The mechanism of adsorption of copper (II) ions by corncob-activated charcoal using KMnO4, following the Freundlich isothermal model with a value of R2 0.9993 with an adsorption capacity of 51 x 10-4 mmol/L. The utilization of activated carbon from corn cobs that are activated by potassium permanganate is very effective for adsorbing copper metal ion pollutants through an adsorption mechanism on the surface of activated carbon.

Abstract

Peanut shell has a high cellulose content as a carbon source which can be used as a basic ingredient for making activated charcoal. Research on peanut shells used as activated charcoal aims to determine the effect of contact time and pH on reducing levels of metal ions Ca2+ and Mg2+ in water. The research was conducted using contact time variables (30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 minutes) and pH (4, 5, 6, 7, and 8). Measurement of adsorbed metal levels was determined by using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The research results obtained showed that variations in contact time could reduce Ca2+ levels by 77.46% -84.89% and Mg2+ by 86.88%-88.91%. Adsorbents with variations in pH can reduce Ca2+ levels by 63.48%-88.74% and Mg2+ by 90.35%-94.49%. The best conditions for the absorption of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions were a contact time of 60 minutes and pH 4. The adsorbent was applied to reduce Ca2+ and Mg2+ levels in water with different hardness levels. The results of the analysis of water samples from two different locations had Ca2+ levels of 94.180 mg/L and 210.20 mg/L, while Mg2+ levels were 13.536 mg/L and 17.420 mg/L. The percentages of Ca2+ adsorption for the two samples were 96.19% and 77.08%, and the percentages of Mg2+ adsorption for the two samples were 21.16% and 10.63%. Carbon from peanut shells activated with sodium acetate has the potential to be used to reduce hardness in water.

Abstract

The increasing environmental pollution is one of the consequences of human activities that continue to expand. The environment has limitations in coping with pollutants generated by humans, such as waste from the laundry industry. This research aims to evaluate the combined effect of zeolite produced from corn cobs and the use of microorganisms capable of degrading anionic surfactants, with the goal of reducing the concentration of anionic surfactants in laundry wastewater. The methods used include adsorption using corn cobs as adsorbents and biodegradation using surfactant-degrading bacteria. Morphological observations using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) indicate that the produced zeolite has a crystal structure that stacks up like clumps of cubes. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis shows that zeolite synthesized with a silica extraction ratio from corn cobs and sodium aluminate of 20:20 mL has been successfully conducted. The biodegradation process of anionic surfactants in laundry wastewater using a combination of synthesized zeolite and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria employing the Methylene Blue Alkyl Substance (MBAS) method has shown a decrease in concentration to 1.66 mg/L and degradation of 33.55%, especially in sample 3 with variations of 7.5 grams of corn cob zeolite and 15% microorganisms, during a 5-day experiment.
