Abstract

Alue Beurawe is a village located in Langsa City, which is one of the cities affected by the Covid-19 virus. Almost all sub-districts in Langsa City have felt the negative impact of the spread of the Covid-19 virus, so various ways are needed to prevent transmission of the virus. People who are prone to exposure to the virus are people who have a history of degenerative diseases, such as cancer, cholesterol, heart disease, asthma, and so on. All degenerative diseases are caused by the immune system being unable to fight the development of viruses in the human body. Therefore it is necessary to provide vitamin intake into the body that is able to fortify itself from the spread of harmful viruses, one of which is an antioxidant. Temurui is a local plant which is known to have high antioxidant activity. This plant can be found scattered throughout Aceh Province. The majority of Acehnese people use temurui plants as a spice for cooking, included the people in Alue Beurawe Village. Based on the previous research that has been done by the team, this temurui leaves have very good potential as an antioxidant which can reduce the risk of degenerative diseases and increase immunity. The manufacture of herbal tea made from temurui leaves is an effort to take advantage of the potential of the local natural resources of Alue Beurawe village in overcoming the risk of spreading the Covid-19 virus which is currently developing. Through PKM activities, it is hoped that it can increase the community's skills in processing temurui leaves into herbal medicine in the form of tea bags for private consumption as an alternative to reducing the transmission of the Covid-19 virus and can also be marketed to improve the community's economy. This PKM activity is carried out in the form of direct training with the Alue Beurawe community, especially member of PKK and unproductive housewives. After that, in this PKM activity, we hope that the community can produce herbal tea in a sustainable manner as a regional superior product`.

Abstract

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is the most produced waste among other types of waste, which is around 60% in every 100% processing of fresh fruit bunches containing heavy metals, namely ferrous metal (Fe). Montmorillonite (MMT) is one of the best adsorbents used to reduce the concentration of Fe in POME. In this study, the determination of the mass variation of the MMT as adsorbent and the variation of the contact time on the adsorption ability of Fe metal in POME was determined using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) and surface morphology analysis of MMT before and after adsorption using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Based on the results of AAS analysis showed that greater the mass of the adsorbent then greater the amount of Fe from the POME that is adsorbed, and with variations in contact time that the longer the contact time between MMT and Fe then greater the amount of Fe in the palm oil mill effluent adsorbed on the adsorbent surface. The best adsorption conditions occurred at an adsorbent mass of 8.5 g MMT and a contact time of 5 hours with an adsorption capacity of 0.0383 mg/g. The results of the SEM showed the presence of empty spaces in the MMT before adsorption while after adsorption there were white granules that occupied the empty spaces evenly on the surface of the MMT. The granules indicate the presence of metals in the POME samples which are adsorbed on the MMT surface.
