Abstract

This study examines the electrical properties of fermented pineapple and lime extracts subjected to Effective Microorganism 4 (EM4) fermentation and thermal treatment at varying temperatures. The fermentation process was conducted over a period of six days, with temperature conditions set at 30°C and 70°C. The results indicate that the lime extract generated higher voltage and current outputs compared to the pineapple extract, particularly on the sixth day of fermentation. Furthermore, the thermal treatment revealed a more pronounced electrical response in lime extract, as evidenced by a greater increase in current at elevated temperatures. These findings suggest that lime extract, when combined with EM4 fermentation and optimal thermal conditions, exhibits greater potential for application in alternative bioelectric energy generation.

Abstract

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) is a biomass waste containing lignocellulose that has the potential to be used as activated carbon to adsorb heavy metals such as Cu(II). This study aims to compare the adsorption performance of Cu(II) ions from three types of TKKS-based adsorbents, namely pure activated carbon (A.C), Fe-Cu metal modified activated carbon (A.C-Fe-Cu), and activated carbon composite with Cu(TAC)₂ (A.C-Cu(TAC)₂). Data were obtained from two previous studies and analyzed using first- and second-order pseudo-kinetic models, as well as Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Results showed that all adsorbents followed a two-order pseudo-kinetic model with R² ≥ 0.998, indicating a chemisorption mechanism. A.C-Fe-Cu showed the highest maximum adsorption capacity (389.47 mg/g) and the best fit to both isotherm models, while A.C-Cu(TAC)₂ showed suboptimal results. Thus, the modification of TKKS with Fe-Cu metal synergistically increases the effectiveness of adsorption on Cu(II) ions and has potential for wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the stages in the process of making activated carbon, synthesis of porous polymer composites Cu(TAC) and activated carbon composites (KA-Cu(TAC) for adsorption of dissolved ammonia (NH4OH). To know the characterization results of activated carbon and KA- Cu(TAC), as well as knowing the optimum mass, concentration, and contact time of activated carbon KA-Cu(TAC) for the adsorption of dissolved ammonia. The research stages started from Empty Oil Palm Bunches (EFB) used as biosorbents for carbon production at 500oC. The resulting product was activated with H3PO4, then modified with porous polymer Cu(TAC) to make a composite. The KA-Cu(TAC) composite was synthesized by reflux method. Then MOFs, activated carbon and KA-Cu(TAC) composite were characterized by BET. The BET characterization results showed that the successfully synthesized KA-Cu(TAC) composite experienced an increase in surface area.In the NH4OH adsorption process the optimum mass efficiency on activated carbon still increased at 8 grams while the KA-Cu(TAC) composite obtained an efficiency of 36, 6% and optimally at a mass of 4 g. At variations in concentration, the efficiency of the two samples still decreased. And the optimum time efficiency obtained in the NH4OH adsorption process with activated carbon was 70% and the KA-Cu(TAC) composite was 86.6%, both samples were equally optimal at 75 minutes

Abstract

This study examined the influence of citric, acetic, and ascorbic acids on the solubility of paracetamol, an analgesic with inherently low aqueous solubility. Paracetamol tablets were dissolved in different concentrations of organic acid solutions, and dissolution times were visually monitored. The most rapid dissolution occurred in 30% acetic acid solution (190 seconds), followed by the citric–acetic acid mixture. Increasing paracetamol mass extended dissolution time, with saturation reached at 3.5 g. Enhanced solubility was attributed to hydrogen bonding interactions between organic acids and paracetamol molecules. Compared with complex techniques such as solid dispersions or co-amorphous systems, this acid-assisted approach is simple, low-cost, and requires no specialized equipment. These findings highlight the role of weak organic acids as practical solubility enhancers and suggest a promising strategy to improve paracetamol bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the potential of three fruits, such as areca nut (Areca catechu), rimbang (Solanum torvum), and star fruit (Averrhoa carambola), as a natural electrolyte source in generating electricity through a simple Galvani cell test. The research method includes making Galvani cells using fruit pieces as electrolyte media, measuring the voltage and current produced, and testing the ability to light an LED as an indicator of electrical output. The measurement results showed that areca nuts produced the highest voltage and current compared to rimbang and star fruit, demonstrating its effectiveness as a natural electrolyte. This finding indicates that local fruits have the potential to be an environmentally friendly electrochemical energy source material that can be applied in education and simple technology. This research opens opportunities for further development in utilizing local biological resources for electrochemical applications.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential utilization of waste cooking oil and used lubricant oil as raw materials for candle production. These waste materials, often regarded as environmental pollutants, contain fats and hydrocarbons that can be converted into value-added products. The manufacturing process involved filtration, heating, and the incorporation of additives such as paraffin wax to enhance quality and stability, followed by molding. The resulting candles demonstrated acceptable physical properties, including melting points and burning times comparable to standard requirements. However, noticeable differences in color and odor were observed when compared to commercial candles. Despite these limitations, the valorization of waste cooking oil and used lubricant oil presents an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative, contributing to the development of sustainable products. Further research is recommended to optimize the blending ratios and additive compositions in order to improve the overall performance of the candles

Abstract

Natural dyes extracted from butterfly pea flowers (Clitoria ternatea L.) hold significant potential as alternatives to synthetic dyes in the food and textile industries. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of citric acid isolated from bilimbi (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) as a solvent for extracting anthocyanin pigments from butterfly pea flowers. Ultrasonic extraction was conducted using different solvents (citric acid and ethanol) and varying extraction durations. The results showed that the extract yield ranged from 2.6% to 5.5%, with an average of 3.99%. Ethanol produced a higher yield than citric acid; however, citric acid significantly reduced the extract’s pH to a range of 1–6, potentially enhancing anthocyanin pigment stability. Additionally, extraction time positively influenced yield up to an optimal point, after which degradation of active compounds led to a decline. These findings suggest that bilimbi-derived citric acid has potential as an eco-friendly solvent for natural dye production, though further optimization is needed to enhance extraction efficiency and color stability.

Abstract

The increasing palm oil production in Indonesia contributes to higher agricultural waste, particularly Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB). This waste can be processed into activated carbon as an adsorbent to remove Fe(II) ions from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). This study reviews two EFB-based adsorbents: Fe-Cu modified activated carbon and a composite of activated carbon with Copper-TAC Metal Organic Frameworks (Cu(TAC)₂). Adsorption kinetics data show that the pseudo-second-order model fits best, with the highest regression coefficient (R² = 0.99637) found in the Cu(TAC)₂ composite, indicating a chemisorption mechanism. Adsorption equilibrium analysis using Freundlich isotherm revealed that while all materials fit the model, plain activated carbon had an unfavorable 1/n value (>1), suggesting weak interaction between adsorbent and adsorbate. Based on kinetic and isotherm analysis, the Cu(TAC)₂ composite was more effective for Fe(II) adsorption than Fe-Cu or unmodified activated carbon.

Abstract

Indonesia, particularly North Sumatra, is a major producer of palm oil, generating significant waste such as empty fruit bunches (EFB) and ammonia-rich wastewater. Ammonia pollution poses serious environmental risks if not treated properly. This study explores the potential of three types of adsorbents—Fe-Cu modified activated carbon, AC-Cu(TAC)₂ composite, and unmodified activated carbon—for ammonia adsorption. Activated carbon was synthesized from EFB and further modified using Fe-Cu and Cu(TAC)₂. Adsorption experiments were conducted with variations in adsorbent mass, contact time, and NH₄OH concentration. The results showed that Fe-Cu modified activated carbon had the highest ammonia removal efficiency (90%), while the AC-Cu(TAC)₂ composite had the highest adsorption capacity. Equilibrium analysis revealed that the AC-Cu(TAC)₂ composite fit both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models (R² = 1), suggesting both monolayer and heterogeneous adsorption. The unmodified activated carbon followed the Langmuir model (R² = 0.9498), while Fe-Cu modified activated carbon did not fit either model. Kinetic studies indicated that Fe-Cu modified activated carbon followed a pseudo-first-order model (R² = 0.9936), implying physisorption, whereas both AC-Cu(TAC)₂ and unmodified activated carbon followed pseudo-second-order models (R² = 0.9779 and 0.9869), indicating chemisorption. These findings highlight the promising potential of modified EFB-based adsorbents for ammonia removal in wastewater treatment applications.
