Abstract

This research is aimed to examine the catalytic activity of Sawahlunto clay, which is enriched with Ca2+ and Cu2+ transesterification of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) to produce biodiesel. Based on the results of the analysis with X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Sawahlunto clay consists of about 61% Si and 24% Al with a Si/Al mole ratio of 2.7 and typical clay mineral consisting of kaolinite and illite, another mineral fund was quartz and goethite. The mineral composition changes after calcination, where kaolinite and illite disappeared. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis shows that calcination can remove the organic compounds Sawahlunto clay; thus, the clay was used without calcination for the next step. Clay samples can be enriched with Ca2+ ions and Cu2+ ions without damaging their mineral composition, where more Cu2+ ions are loaded than Ca2+ ions. The Sawahlunto clay enriched with Ca2+ ions showed a slightly better catalytic activity in the transesterification of crude palm oil (CPO) than its parent clay; when enriched with Cu2+ ions, the catalytic activity did not appear at all. However, the homogeneous counterpart of such catalyst, calcium nitrate, was still the most active and selective compared to all others

Abstract

The use of feed in fish farming is often inefficient because fish only partially consume the feed spread in ponds, so it becomes waste for the aquatic environment and, even worse, will trigger new diseases. The Department of Chemistry's of Universitas Andalas team was trying to overcome this problem by increasing the efficiency of fish feed. For the feed to work optimally and produce good quality fish weight, it is necessary to modify the nutrition of the fish feed, one of which is by adding probiotics through a fermentation process. The method used in this activity includes training, mentoring, and demonstration plots in feed fermentation and counselling regarding the right time to feed. This activity targets fish farmers in the Koto Luar area, Pauh District, Padang, with a fish culturing group, "Family Sepakat", as the partner. Feed fermentation was carried out with probiotic starters such as Bacillus sp., saccharomyces cerevisiae, L. fermentum, L. plantarum, and W. paramesenteroides. This activity improved catfish growth, and the death rate was lower than in catfish farming without feed fermentation treatment.

Abstract

The Moringa plant, a tropical species, exhibits prolific growth and is abundantly present in Indonesia and other tropical regions worldwide. An extended lifespan, continuous flowering, and a high tolerance for elevated temperatures characterize it. Utilizing its components, including leaves, bark, seeds, and roots, this multifaceted plant is renowned for its therapeutic properties. The plant's antioxidants and various nutrients, including vitamins and minerals (iron, magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin B2, vitamin C, and vitamin A), have led to studies on the plant's potential health benefits. In order to develop the local economy in Ulakan village, Padang Pariaman Regency, Moringa plants were processed by using the plant leaves to manufacture herbal tea, which can then be sold. This community service program was significant given the widespread presence and ease of cultivation of Moringa plants within the local region. The program involved the planning and selection of the activity site, the implementation of training sessions, and the assessment of the program's outcomes. The result of this community engagement initiative was the demonstrated interest of many participants in producing Moringa leaf tea.
