Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized using kitolod (Isotoma longiflora Presi) leaf extract as a bioreductor. This research aims to investigate the ability of extracts to act as reducing agents in the formation of AgNPs and to characterize the resulting AgNPs. The synthesis was carried out under the following conditions: pH of extract 12, reaction time 90 minutes, silver nitrate concentration 2 × 10-4 M, and extract concentration 0.08%. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra confirmed the involvement of phytochemicals in the reduction of Ag+ to Ag0. The synthesized AgNPs were spherical, with an absorption peak at around 420 nm, an average particle size of 67.38 nm, a zeta potential of -23.6 mV, and a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.697. Stability testing showed that the synthesized AgNPs remained stable for two months at room temperature.

Abstract

Properties of biosorbent prepared from biomass of Chlorella sp immobilized on chitosan (Chlo-Kit) have been studied for adsorption of Chromium(III). Chlo-Kit adsorbent prepared by following steps: dissolving chitosan to get hydrogel form, immobilization of biomasson chitosan hydrogel, beads formation and crosslinkingthe adsorbent beads using epichlorohydrin reagent.Characterization using FT-IR spectrophotometry  and SEM showed that mechanism of biomass immobilization on chitosan involves electrostatic interactions between the functional groups of such both materials. Biomass immobilized on chitosan (Chlo-Kit) showed the higher stability in acid medium than un-immobilized biomass. Adsorption of Cr(III) metal ion on Chlo-Kit occured at optimum pH of 4-5 and followed well the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The adsorption capacity of Cr(III) on Chlo-Kit was 68.965 mg/g, about 91% higher than that on Chlorella biomass
