Abstract

Sudan is highly dependent on diesel. Diesel is used in agriculture machines, transportation, and other applications. This study has been carried out to produced biodiesel from Jatropha curcas seed oil. Jatropha was chosen because it is not edible, therefore it will not pose a new problem to humans regarding food competition. This research successfully extracted oil from Jatropha curcas seed using n-hexane solvent with yield 39%. The oil than converted to biodiesel by alkaline transesterification process with a conversion yield 92 %. The properties such as flash point, acid value, viscosity, iodine value, density, copper corrosion, cetane number, sulphated ash, pour point, free glycerol, and total glycerol contents were 174 oC, 0.17 mg KOH/g, 8.912 mm2/s, 102 g I2/100 g, 895.8 kg/m3, class1, 51, 0.0047 %, -3 oC, 0.01 %,0.03 %, respectively. These quantities obtained were met most of the biodiesel standards that are ASTM D6751, EN14214, and ASTM D975. The GC data showed the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) has a 12-20 carbon chain and still has monoglycerides, diglycerides, and triglycerides.

Abstract

Over 50 percent of the world's population consumes rice as a staple food. However, due to natural and anthropogenic activity, heavy metals, particularly arsenic (As), can be found in rice. This has become a worldwide concern because of the high level of consumption of rice and its processed products, as well as the long-term consequences. Information on dietary arsenic exposure in raw and cooked rice and its content quality in Indonesia is limited; however, its availability is essential for estimating toxicity level intake. Therefore, an advanced, accurate, fast, relatively easy, and environmentally friendly arsenic analysis method, such as total X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) and a line equation approach, is needed. It is necessary to evaluate arsenic content and inorganic arsenic (i-As) in rice. The research aimed to assess preliminary dietary arsenic exposure, evaluate rice's inorganic arsenic concentration, and assess toxicity levels. Toxicity level estimation of arsenic exposure was done by determining the hazard quotient (HQ). The results showed that t-As and i-As in rice were 0.071-0.104 mg/kg and 0.050-0.073 mg/kg (wet base), respectively. The mean percentage of i-As reached 70% from the t-As, and the toxicity level of arsenic in cooked rice is low, as shown by the value of HQ < 1. The estimated result indicates no chronic non-carcinogenic effect caused by these samples.

Abstract

Silica can be produced through hydrolysis in alkaline conditions via the Stober process and has two main functional groups, namely siloxane (Si-O-Si) and silanol (Si-OH). Vinyl modified silica can be produced from the hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and vinyl trimethoxysilane (VTMS) with 25%(v/v) ammonia. VTMS is used as a silica surface modifying agent. The resulting silica-vinyl modification is then used as a stationary phase to fill a High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) column. The aim of this research is to synthesize vinyl-modified silica as a HPLC stationary phase and test its performance. Silica-vinyl modification is carried out by first synthesizing silica from TEOS and then modifying the surface using VTMS. Characterization was carried out using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). SEM characterization gave a spherical shape and a diameter of 1.73-2.02 μm. FTIR identification gave good results with the identification of siloxane signals (Si-O-Si) at 1,097 cm-1 on silica and 2,850 cm-1 and 2,922 cm-1 which were C-H vibrations on silica-vinyl. Qualitative identification carried out by the addition of alkenes with I2 also shows the binding of vinyl groups to the silica surface. The modified silica is then loaded into a 50 mm x 4.6 mm column. The performance test was carried out by separating caffeine and paracetamol compounds. Optimum separation of MeOH:HOH 1:99 eluent with a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The resulting resolution is 1,80 and selectivity is 1.52. The resulting calibration curve has an R2 value of 0.99156 for caffeine and 0.99431 for paracetamol.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of a project-based chemistry practicum in enhancing critical thinking and conceptual understanding among chemistry teacher candidates. Using a seaweed-based hydrogel as a medium for adsorbing metal ions, the practicum incorporates contextual learning processes, including problem investigation, collaborative engagement, and technology design. Conducted with 36 students at Pattimura University, the study applied a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative observations and quantitative data analysis. Results indicate significant improvements in students' critical thinking, as evidenced by an N-Gain of 0.72, enhanced worksheet scores, and better practicum outcomes. The findings underscore the importance of integrating environmental resources and technological tools in practicum activities to foster creativity and innovation. However, the study highlights the need for adequate laboratory resources, extended practicum time, and advanced rubrics to assess complex learning outcomes effectively. These insights contribute to the development of advanced chemistry practicum models that align with 21st-century learning skills.

Abstract

Heavy metal pollution in aquatic systems increases the need for sustainable and efficient natural adsorbent materials, and carrageenan extracted from Eucheuma cottonii, which contains O–H, S=O, C–O–S, and 3,6-anhydrogalactose functional groups, offers strong potential for binding metal ions. However, the adsorption efficiency of natural carrageenan for Copper (Cu2+) and Cadmium (Cd2+) ions remains limited, which frames the central problem of this study. In addressing this issue, the method employed involves synthesizing carrageenan hydrogel through alkaline extraction of Eucheuma cottonii and evaluating its adsorption capacity under controlled experimental conditions. The hydrogel was characterized and tested at pH 6–7, with a contact time of 90 minutes, an initial concentration of 200 mg/L, and an adsorbent mass of 6 g, followed by kinetic and isotherm modeling to analyze adsorption behavior. Based on the Findings, ionic exchange interactions between sulfate ester groups of K-carrageenan and metal cations significantly enhance adsorption performance, with the adsorption process following a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm providing the best fit R2 > 0.90, indicating heterogeneous multilayer adsorption. In the Conclusion, the chemically modified carrageenan hydrogel demonstrates effective adsorption of copper and cadmium ions and presents strong potential as an eco-friendly and efficient biomaterial for heavy metal remediation.
