Abstract

Effective waste management is essential for achieving a zero-waste environment, particularly in handling hazardous domestic waste like used dry cell batteries. This study explores a sustainable approach by recovering graphite from battery waste to synthesize graphene oxide (GO) for enhancing poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. GO was synthesized using the Hummers method and a modified high-speed homogenization approach, then characterized via Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The fabricated PVDF-GO membranes were further analyzed using SEM-EDS, AFM, water contact angle measurements, and bacterial rejection tests. Results confirmed successful GO synthesis and integration into the polymer matrix. GO incorporation improved hydrophilicity, reducing the water contact angle from 120° (pure PVDF) to 66° and 56° in PVDF/PVP-GO membranes via high-speed homogenization and conventional methods, respectively. The modified membranes exhibited a 5–6 times larger pore size than pure PVDF and achieved nearly 100% bacterial rejection. Additionally, PVDF/PVP-GO(h) showed a 91.76% faster production time efficiency than PVDF/PVP-GO(s).

Abstract

Durian (durio zibertinus) is a native tropical fruit from Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia. Durian peel is the highest composition of durian fruit (60-75%), and is still considered as waste that causes environmental problems. This study aimed to analyze the content of secondary metabolites extract, to analyze the anti-bacterial activity of durian peel extract against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, and to calculate the effectiveness of durian skin durian peel extract as a natural anti-bacterial ingredient in hand sanitizer products by using the paper disc method. Durian peel was extracted with ethanol to obtain extract solution which was then separated from the solvent and applied as an ingredient for hand sanitizer. The Analysis results showed that durian peel extract contains triterpenoids, alkaloids, and saponins, which are phytochemical compounds that anti-bacterial function. Durian peel extract at concentration of 1% wt. inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli, Salmonella thyposa and Sthapylococcus aureus with a clear zone diameters of 7.4 mm, 8.2 mm and 8.6 mm, respectively. In anti-septic tests, hand sanitizer samples containing durian peel extract showed that the interaction between the concentration of durian peel extract and the sampling duration simultaneously gave a significant effect in reducing the number of microorganism colonies.

Abstract

Sampah botol plastik masih menjadi masalah lingkungan yang sering dijumpai di ruang publik. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah tempat sampah yang tidak nyaman dan tidak memenuhi persyaratan pengguna. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk merancang tempat sampah botol plastik yang ergonomis dan mudah digunakan. Metode penelitian menggabungkan pendekatan antropometri dan metode Ergonomic Function Deployment (EFD). Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner yang dibagikan kepada pemilik dan nasabah Bank Sampah MyGold di Kota Serang sebanyak 30 responden, kemudian diuji untuk validitas dan kredibilitas. Komponen ergonomi ENASE (Efektif, Nyaman, Aman, Sehat, dan Efisien) disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan pengguna dan dimasukkan ke dalam House of Ergonomic (HOE) untuk menentukan spesifikasi teknis produk. Disesuaikan dengan postur tubuh mayoritas pengguna, dimensi tempat sampah dibuat menggunakan data antropometri persentil 50. Hasil penelitian didapatkan prioritas utama perancangan termpat sampah botol plastik yaitu terbuat dari bahan kuat dan tahan lama menggunakan besi, kemudian tempat sampah dengan ketinggian 130 cm, memiliki lubang satu arah tempat memasukan sampah botol plastik dengan diameter lubang botol 9 cm, memiliki tempat penampungan yang besar berukuran 85 cm x 80 cm, terdapat petunjuk, dan memiliki celah di bagian bawah yang bertujuan untuk mengeluarkan isi sampah yang terkumpul dengan mudah.
