Abstract

The process of stockpiling reclamation areas and disposing of waste streams can pollute the environment and cause the attendance of dangerous heavy metals. In this research was conducted to determine heavy metals Cd, Fe, Hg, and Pb levels in water and sediment on Losari beach. The method used was an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The result showed that the levels of Cd and Fe in the water for the north point were 0.0278 and 0.0432 mg/L, the south point was 0.0031 and 0.0674 mg/L, the point around the platform showed 0.0028 and 0.0534 mg/L and the levels of sediment were 0.0010 and 31.2417 mg/L. The levels of Hg and Pb in water were 0.0235 and 0.0390 mg/L (north point) 0.0105 and 0.0420 mg/L (south point) 0.0027 and 0.0460 mg/L (around the platform), sediments were 0.0027 and 0.071 mg/L. The result concluded that the concentration of Cd had crossed the threshold only at the north point namely 0.01 mg/L, while the concentration of Fe that crossed the threshold was only in sediment namely 20 mg/L. The level of Hg and Pb pollution in the water and sediment of Losari beach tourism is polluted because it exceeds quality standards.

Abstract

Bioelectrochemical Systems (BES) technology is a method for generating electric energy using bacteria as catalysts. The electricity is produced by Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs), which represent the latest development in biological energy research. This study utilized substrates from banana stems and the bacterium Pseudomonas sp. The research aims to assess the potential of banana stems as a substrate in the MFC system and to determine the effects of adding a combination of an electrolyte solution and an appropriate buffering material to achieve maximum current, potential difference, and power density values. The results showed that the maximum current and potential difference achieved were 1.05 mA and 0.62 V, respectively, with a power density value of 446 mW/m². When combining the KMnO4 electrolyte solution with sodium phosphate buffer, a potential difference of 0.76 V and a current of 1.75 mA were obtained, resulting in a power density value of 911 mW/m². By using the K3[Fe(CN)6] electrolyte solution buffer with potassium phosphate buffer, a current of 1.14 mA was produced, and the power density value reached 406 mW/m².

Abstract

Laboratory activities are closely related to using corrosive, acidic, and toxic chemicals in producing inorganic and organic waste, such as heavy metals, resulting from chemical reactions, and organic waste originating from ethanol solvents. Adsorption can be an appropriate waste handling step to reduce metal levels in waste. CaO can be used as an adsorbent through several mechanisms. One involves the basic nature of CaO, which forms ionic bonds with acidic compounds in the environment, so these molecules or ions can be adsorbed on the CaO surface. The aims are to characterize CaO and to determine the amount of adsorption power of the CaO catalyst on metals (Pb and Cd) and organic waste (ethanol) originating from the chemistry laboratory. The SSA measurement showed that the waste tested contained the highest levels of Cd and Pb metals, namely 16.82 ppm and 1.52 ppm. The adsorption results using CaO showed that the absorption capacity for Cd and Pb metal was up to 99%, while for ethanol, it was around 20%. It showed that CaO can be used as an adsorbent for laboratory waste.
