Abstract

Deep eutectic solvent (DES) has high viscosity and electrical conductivity values, so it can be used as an electrolyte solvent in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). This research was conducted to produce DES based on choline chloride (ChCl) and ethylene glycol (EG), diethylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol-400, which were then used as KI/I2 couple redox electrolyte solvent to improve the DSSC performance. The synthesis was carried out by mixing each component in several variations of the mole fraction of ChCl (xCHCl) at 80 °C for 15 min, and then was characterized by their pH, freezing point, density, viscosity, and electrical conductivity. A mixture that meets the criteria as a eutectic solvent and has a freezing point of less than −18 °C with the highest electrical conductivity value is DES ChCl:EG with xChCl 0.3 and xChCl 0.4. Both DESs were then used as a solvent for KI/I2, combined with acetonitrile in various compositions. The electrolyte with the highest electrical conductivity value was KI/I2 dissolved in ChCl:EG with xChCl 0.3 solvent 6:4 v/v, and then employed in DSSC device. The best performance of DSSC (Isc= 0.155 mA/cm2; Voc=0.465 V; Pmax= 0.719 W; ηmax= 0.072%) was produced under a light intensity of 0.1 W/cm2.

Abstract

Banana peels can be a valuable adsorbent for reducing heavy metals in water. This study investigated the effect of chemical activators on Nipah banana peel (Musa acuminata balbisiana) on their ability to reduce Pb and Cd metals in landfill leachate. Before the adsorption test, the banana peels were treated with a different chemical activator, including detergent, NaOH, KOH, and H3PO4. The results showed that H3PO4 adsorbs relatively high amounts of metals (Pb-75.800%, Cd-18.491%) in landfill leachate among these activators. FTIR analysis showed that banana peels treated with H3PO4 produced sharper carbonyl or carboxyl group peaks. These groups are very influential in the metal adsorption process. SEM-EDS analysis of the H3PO4-treated banana peels showed an increase in carbon and oxygen elements in the banana peels and changes in the pore surface that enhanced the adsorption process on Pb and Cd metals. From this study, banana peels activated with H3PO4 showed great potential to be developed into adsorbents to reduce heavy metal concentration.

Abstract

Synthesis of composite boron-doped carbon nanodots (B-CDs)/TiO2 using the sol-gel method performed with titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) precursor and B-CDs prepared by the microwave method using citric acid monohydrate, urea, and boric acid as precursors. The optimum concentration of boron dopant (B) on B-CDs/TiO2 is 0.5% boron (w/w) which is then used as a composite on TiO2 resulting in a brown solid and has blue luminescent under UV light. The result with UV-Vis/DRS for variation in B-CDs concentration of 0.5%, 1.25%, and 2.5% showed Eg values of 2.34 eV, 2.00 eV, and 2.29 eV. B-CDs cause the maximum emission peak (λEm) to redshift and affect the intensity of photoluminescence TiO2. The characterization of FT-IR does not indicate a new peak, there is no bonding in the B-CDs/TiO2 composite. The TiO2 diffractogram was observed to shift towards a larger 2θ which caused the crystallinity of TiO2 to decrease. Based on the photocatalytic activity test on the degradation of methylene blue solution, it showed fairly good activity. It is expected that the B-CDs/TiO2 composite has the potential to be applied as a photocatalyst to degrade organic pollutants under visible light illumination.

Abstract

The preparation of biodegradable plastics based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-taro starch as an alternative to synthetic plastics has been conducted. The aim of this research was to identify the effect of taro starch composition on the production of biodegradable plastic and their characteristics in an aquatic environment. The solution casting method was used to produce biodegradable plastic. PVA was dissolved in hot distilled water, and taro starch (0; 0.5; 1.5; 2.5; and 3.5 g) was dissolved in another chamber filled with distilled water, glycerol and citric acid. Both solutions were mixed together and CaCO3 was then added. The mixture was casted on acrylic plates while biodegradable plastic without starch was used as a control. Characteristic of Biodegradable plastic and it’s properties were examined by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), water uptake, and moisture absorption test. While the biodegrability of the sample were tested in river water media in the laboratory. The results showed that the wave number at 1698-1712 cm-1, indicating that the cross-linking between PVA and the starch occured. Water uptake and moisture absorption tests showed that all of the biodegradable plastic varieties produced were hydrophilic. The biodegradation test showed that the largest degree of decomposition was reached by the PVA-starch 3.5 g variety which was 80.33%. Thus, the more starch on biodegradable plastic, the more biodegradation achieved.

Abstract

Betel nut husk fiber has a reasonably high cellulose content. Meanwhile, bioplastics nowadays are mostly made of Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA), with one of its limitations being tensile strength and other properties regarding mechanical. Thus, this study aims to isolate microcellulose from areca nut fiber and use the fiber as a filler in bioplastic, where cellulose is combined with PVA. The intention is to understand the effect of adding microcellulose from betel nut fibers on the properties, including the biodegradability of PVA-based bioplastic films. This research has three steps: isolating cellulose from betel nut peel fibers by delignification, pulping, and bleaching. The next step is hydrolysis to obtain microcellulose. The last is the preparation of bioplastic films using the solution casting method, with five different ratios of microcellulose content in the bioplastic. The cellulose characterization from FTIR spectra shows the absorption of several peaks, such as O-H, C-H, and C-O functional groups. The mechanical testing results on the variation of bioplastic show that the bioplastic with the best characteristics was PL5, which has the highest microcellulose content, 8 MPa and 10.2% for tensile strength and elongation, respectively. The biodegradation test for bioplastic variation (PL5) was 82% within eight weeks, while in Indonesian National Standard (SNI) number 7188.7:2016, it is 100% within 60 days.

Abstract

Synthesis of sulphur-doped carbon nanodots immobilized on the TiO2 surface (SCDs/TiO2) composite was carried out using the sol-gel method with SCDs and titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) as precursors. SCDs were prepared from citric acid monohydrate, urea, and sodium disulphite using the microwave technique. SCDs/TiO2 was then visually observed under UV 365 nm and characterized by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry (UV-Vis/DRS), Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SCDs/TiO2 composite product had a brown solid with a green luminescent under UV light. Furthermore, UV-Vis/DRS for variations in SCDs concentrations of 0.5%; 1.25%, and 2.5% showed Eg values of 2.33 eV, 2.14 eV, and 1.61 eV, respectively. The results showed that SCDs caused the maximum emission peak (λEm) to redshift and also affected the intensity of PL TiO2. There was also a shift in the absorption peak towards the visible light region. Based on the results, the 0.5% SCDs/TiO2 was the optimum concentration with the lowest intensity as an indication of separation of the (e-) and (h+) charge pairs, which greatly enhanced the photocatalytic efficiency.

Abstract

Red mud is an insoluble fraction of bauxite ore, and it is a waste from bauxite processing into alumina. Red mud contaminated with alkaline substances and therefore poses a danger to the environment and humans. One of the largest bauxite processing companies in West Kalimantan is PT Indonesia Chemical Alumina (ICA). PT ICA can produce red mud around 240.000-450.000 each year. Red mud contains some minerals that are useful for various industries. The largest mineral content in red mud is hematite. Hematite is an iron oxide mineral with the chemical formula Fe2O3. This study aims to determine the hematite content of the extraction results from Red mud PT ICA. This research also investigates how different calcination temperatures during synthesis impact material properties, with analysis using XRF and XRD. It is known that the extracted sample contains 49.74% Fe2O3. The results of XRF analysis show that at 900 °C, the hematite content produced is higher (90.20%) compared to 800 °C (87.84%). The results of XRD analysis show that the position of the typical 2θ peaks of hematite that appear in both temperature variations is not too different, namely: 33.04 °; 35.515; 54.01 ° at 800 °C and 33,06 °; 35,55 °; 54,04 ° at 900 °C. The calcination temperature variation is also known to affect the percentage of hematite crystallinity, which is 18.23% at 800 °C and 24.87% at 900 °C. The crystal structure of hematite is rhombohedral.

Abstract

Waste management in Pangkalan Buton Village is a crucial issue in sustainable development, especially in vulnerable coastal areas. This research examines the current condition of waste management facilities, the level of compliance with environmental regulations, and public participation. Findings show that daily waste generation reaches 0.4 kg per person, mostly consisting of biodegradable organic waste. However, the lack of recycling and composting infrastructure hinders proper processing. Waste collection services are inconsistent, and public awareness remains low. The study recommends enhancing community education through continuous outreach programs and strengthening the role of the DPRKPLH. Developing modern waste management infrastructure, implementing data-based monitoring and evaluation systems, and enforcing environmental laws are also essential. Collaboration between local government, private sectors, and communities should be improved, especially through CSR initiatives and the use of digital tools like reporting apps. Effective waste management not only preserves the environment but also creates economic opportunities through recycling and compost production. Ultimately, a holistic and integrated approach involving education, infrastructure, law enforcement, and technological innovation is necessary to achieve efficient, sustainable, and community-supported waste management in Pangkalan Buton Village.

Abstract

Bioplastik adalah jenis bahan yang cakupannya luas, meliputi plastik berbasis bio (bio-based) tetapi tidak harus biodegradabel ataupun plastik berbahan dasar petrokimia dan bio yang dianggap bersifat biodegradable. Penggunaan bioplastik diharapkan dapat mengurangi pencemaran lingkungan yang diakibatkan sampah plastik konvensional. Namun seringkali sifat fisik dari bioplastik belum sesuai dengan yang diinginkan, sehingga perlu ditingkatkan, misalnya dalam hal kekuatan mekanik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan mikroselulosa hasil isolasi dari tandan kosong kelapa sawit terhadap sifat bioplastik komposit dari PVA-selulosa-asam sitrat-pati-gliserol. Adapun tahapan metode yang dilakukan: preparasi serat, delignifikasi, hidrolisis asam, pembuatan film tipis bioplastik, serta karakterisasi mikroselulosa dan plastik yang dihasilkan. Mikroselulosa hasil isolasi memiliki derajat kristalinitas 39% dan diameter serat ± 8,5 μm. Bioplastik dengan lima variasi penambahan massa mikroselulosa: masing-masing diuji kekuatan mekanik, biodegradabilitas dengan metode soil burial test, dan penyerapan air. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan pengaruh penambahan mikroselulosa terhadap bioplastik, yaitu dalam hal peningkatan kekuatan tarik dari bioplastik menjadi 7 - 8 MPa dan persen elongasi 10-16%. Biodegradabilitas dan penyerapan air dari bioplastik semakin tinggi seiring dengan penambahan jumlah mikroselulosa dalam bioplastik.
