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

Gelatin is a type of protein consisting of amino acids produced through the hydrolysis of collagen. One natural source that can be used as a raw material for making gelatin is the shrimp shell. This study aims to determine the characteristics of gelatin made from Jerbung shrimp shells (Fenneropenaeus marguensis de Man) using three types of acid solvents, namely, acetic acid, phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid. The hydrolysis process by soaking with acid solvent was carried out with varying concentrations of 1%, 3% and 6%. The results of the analysis of the physical characteristics of gelatin with acetic acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid were suitable for SNI. The pH values ranged from 4.5–6.5, the water content was less than 16%, the ash content was 3.25%, the viscosity ranged from 1.5–7 cP, and the gel strength ranged from 50–300 blooms. The FTIR data of gelatin synthesized from 3 types of acids revealed typical absorption peaks, such as N–H and O–H functional groups at wavenumbers of 3600–3400 cm-1, C–H groups 3000–2840 cm-1, and C=O groups at wavenumbers of 1800–1650 cm-1. These results indicate that Jerbung shrimp shells have potential as alternative raw materials for making gelatin.

Abstract

Eggshells containing CaCO3 have potential as bioceramics for several tissue engineering applications. The content of CaCO3 converted into Ca(OH)2 can be used as a precursor to implant material. The purpose of the study was to compare two methods of converting CaO into Ca(OH)2 as the primary material for making hydroxyapatite. The method used is direct contact with air and dissolution with water. Hydroxyapatite synthesis using Ca(OH)2 is calcined from CaCO3 with a sintering temperature of 900 °C. The result of calcination is in the form of CaO. The stages of obtaining Ca(OH)2 by converting CaO using two methods, namely direct contact with air and dissolution with water. The XRD characterization results obtained that Ca(OH)2 results from direct contact with air show the formation of phase (portlandite), which is characterized by its presence at the highest typical 2θ angles = 18.18°, 28.68°, 34.30°, 47.40°, 50.92°, 54.16°, and 62.62°. The XRD Ca(OH)2 pattern with the distilled water distribution process shows the formation of a phase (portlandite) characterized by its presence at angles of 2θ = 18.18°, 28.68°, 34.30°, 47.40°, 50.92°, 54.16°, and 62.62 °. The results of FTIR Ca(OH)2 characterization of air contact and water dissolution showed strong O-H functional groups at wave numbers 3643 cm-1 and 3642 cm-1, C-O groups at 1487 cm-1 and 1483 cm-1. This suggests that both methods can convert CaO to Ca(OH)2, which synthesizes hydroxyapatite. The hydroxyapatite characterization results obtained have met the standard.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the shell quality of Lohman brown strains. A total of 460 eggs aged 1–14 days from Lohman brown strains were collected from community farms in Gowa, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study variables included egg weight, egg index, shell weight, thickness, and percentage. Analysis was conducted using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the difference in shelf life was analyzed using Duncan's multiple range test. The results revealed that egg weight, egg index, shell weight, shell thickness, and shell percentage significantly (P<0.05) affected egg age from 1 to 14 days. The study concluded that older Lohman Brown strain chicken eggs have reduced weight and shell thickness. Additionally, egg age significantly impacts shell weight, but shell thickness decreases as the egg ages. The color classification of eggshells over 14 days, as indicated by hex codes and sRGB values, shows significant variation, with the darkest brown occurring on days 6 and 11 and the lightest brown on day 1.

Abstract

Ekstrak kulit terong ungu telah banyak dikaji penggunaannya sebagai zat warna pada Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC). Konversi foton menjadi energi listrik sangat ditentukan oleh kestabilan zat warna dan semikonduktor TiO2 selama proses absorpsi foton sinar matahari. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi ekstrak kulit buah Solanum melongena yang distabilkan tingkat keasamannya sebagai zat warna pada DSSC. Ekstrak zat warna diperoleh melalui maserasi dengan metanol dan selanjutnya dikarakterisasi dengan Uji Fitokimia, Spektroskopi Uv-Vis dan FTIR. DSSC difabrikasi menggunakan zat warna tersebut pada semikonduktor TiO2 yang distabilkan oleh polivinil alkohol. Performa DSSC dievaluasi melalui pengukuran arus dan tegangan pada DSSC di bawah paparan sinar matahari secara langsung.  Hasil pengukuran arus tegangan menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak Solanum melongena yang distabilkan pada  pH 2 dapat meningkatkan nilai konversi energi sebesar 0,71%. Penstabilan semikonduktor TiO2oleh polivinil alkohol tidak berpengaruh signifikan pada peningkatan nilai konversi. Optimasi lebih lanjut dengan metode lain dan bersama faktor-faktor lainnya diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kestabilan dan nilai konversi energinya.Ekstrak kulit terong ungu telah banyak dikaji penggunaannya sebagai zat warna pada Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC).

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.
