Abstract

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) transmission spectroscopy is a method of analyzing functional groups on a compound that is simple, economical, and non-destructive. Geopolymers with PVC synthetic fiber additives are considered to have complete functional groups representing organic and inorganic compounds. The purpose of this study was to validate the functional group analysis method on geopolymers using FT-IR. To analyze the typical peaks of the spectra of the geopolymer compound, KBr pellets were prepared with 7 sample variations (0.25 mg; 0.50 mg; 0.75 mg; 1.00 mg; 1.25 mg; 1.50 mg; and 1. ,75 mg) on ​​the addition of KBr up to 16 mg interday and intraday for 3 consecutive days. The FT-IR spectroscopy method was validated with the parameters of linearity, detection limit (LoD), quantization limit (LoQ), accuracy, and precision. The analytical method applied is linear with the measured sample concentration range. The absorbance at wave number 986 cm-1 as the Si-O-Si absorption peak was chosen for method validation. From the results of the analysis, the regression coefficient (R2) is 0.9938 for geopolymers and 0.9923 for geopolymers with PVC as an additive. The analytical method that has been carried out shows that FT-IR spectroscopy is precise and accurate for measuring the spectrum of geopolymers and geopolymers with PVC additives.

Abstract

Modification of chitosan-coated magnetic material with quaternary ammonium chloride as adsorbent for Cr(VI) anions has been studied. The works included magnetic material (MM) separation from iron sand, magnetic material-chitosan (MM/Chit) synthesis, and attachment of quaternary ammonium groups from glycidyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (GTMAC) on MM/Chit to produce MM/Chit/GTMAC with various mass ratios. Products were characterized with FTIR, XRD, SEM-EDX, and VSM. Adsorption studies were carried out in a batch system with pH, time, and initial Cr(VI) concentration variations. The unadsorbed Cr(VI) was analyzed with AAS, and the adsorbed Cr(VI) was calculated from the difference between initial and unadsorbed concentrations of Cr(VI). The results showed that MM/Chit/GTMAC was successfully synthesized, and adding GTMAC increased the stability of MM/Chit and shifted the optimum pH for Cr(VI) adsorption from 3.0 to 4.0. The study of kinetics and adsorption isotherm showed that the adsorption of Cr(VI) anion on the adsorbent MM/Chit/GTMAC (with the mass ratio of Chit to GTMAC 1:6) follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with the adsorption rate constant of 5.3 × 10−3 g mg−1 min−1 and Langmuir isotherms with the adsorption maximum capacity of 104.17 mg g−1, which has a potential to be applied for removing Cr(VI) from polluted wastewater.

Abstract

Water pollution from heavy metal contamination is a global issue; finding low-cost and sustainable solutions is challenging. Among various methods, biomass adsorption is a practical approach for treating heavy metal contamination in agricultural water. This study explored the use of betel nut peel as a biosorbent to remove Mg(II), Ca(II), and Fe(III) ions from agricultural water. The adsorbent contained active groups like −OH, C=O, and C=C, indicating cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose compounds. Mature betel nut peels showed higher adsorption capacities than immature ones due to their larger surface area and more active sites. The optimal adsorption occurred at an initial adsorbate concentration of 100 mg L−1 for 1 h, with 5 mg of biosorbent. The biosorbent followed the Langmuir isotherm and a pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.99), indicating chemisorption. When applied to agricultural water from South Sumatra, the biosorbent removed up to 90% of Fe(III) ions. These findings suggest that betel nut peel powder has strong potential as a biosorbent for heavy metals, with promising applications in water treatment and environmental remediation. It also shows potential as a biofertilizer, particularly for soils rich in Fe(III).
