Abstract

In the coloring process, the textile industry generally uses synthetic (artificial) dyes, methyl orange (MO). In this study, the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) dye with chitosan was investigated in a series of batch laboratory studies. The adsorption equilibrium study used a MO solution with a concentration of 10 to 50 mg/L with an adsorbent weight of 3 g put into an Erlenmeyer and shaken until the adsorption reached an equilibrium condition. Meanwhile, the adsorption kinetics used a MO solution with an initial concentration of 10 and 20 mg/L with a volume of 100 mL with an adsorbent weight of 3 g and the solution was adjusted to pH 2. Effective operating parameters such as pH, initial concentration of dye (C0) and contact time at adsorption has been investigated. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of methyl orange (MO) dye from chitosan increased with an increasing acid content, and it was found that a solution of pH 2 was the optimal pH value for MO adsorption. The adsorption parameters for the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were determined by nonlinear regression and the equilibrium data were best explained by the Langmuir isotherm model, this was indicated by the high value of the correlation coefficient (R2), which was 0.9595. The maximum adsorption capacity was 0.1297 mg/g. Adsorption kinetics can be successfully applied to pseudo second-order kinetic models. The pseudo second-order model results show that the adsorption process is controlled by chemical sorption (chemisorption).

Abstract

Abstract. Bioethanol is an alternative energy sourced from environmentally friendly raw materials from wastes that contain a lot of lignocellulosic such as HVS paper. Paper contains about 85% cellulose, 8% hemicellulose, 5% lignin and the rest is in the form of ash compounds. Bioethanol is ethanol produced from the fermentation of glucose (sugar) followed by a distillation process. This study aims to analyze the effect of a combination of fermentation time and concentration of sulfuric acid on bioethanol. The highest yield of beathanol was obtained at a hydrolysis concentration of 6.5% with a 7-day fermentation time of 3.45%. Bioethanol density that was close to standard was 3.5% acid concentration with 3 and 5 days fermentation. Moreover, at 3.5% acid concentration showed the closest bioethanol viscosity to the standard value with all conditions synthesized acidic bioethanol with pH ranged from 6 to 6.5Keywords:Bioethanol, Fermentation, HVS paper, Sulfuric acid

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the processing of chitosan-pectin biocomposite hydrogel with the addition of citric acid to improve the quality of the biocomposite for primary wound dressing applications. The method is printing the biopolymer solution in a glass mold, then drying at 50oC. Chitosan 90.2% DD and pectin dissolved in 1% acetic acid with a ratio (w/w) of 50:50. The two ingredients were mixed using a magnetic stirrer at room temperature for 30 minutes until completely dissolved, then added citric acid crosslinking agent with various concentrations of 2,4, 6,8,10 (%). The test results for the characteristics of the chitosan-pectin-acid biocomposite Citrate obtained the best thickness in the composition variation (50:50:8) of 0.31 mm. The analysis results of the best absorption of the chitosan-pectin-citric acid biocomposite on the composition variation (50:50:6) were 185%. In the swelling analysis of the chitosan-pectin-citric acid biocomposite, the variation in composition (50:50:10) was 403%. The tensile strength test results of the chitosan-pectin-citric acid biocomposite decreased with the addition of citric acid, the best obtained was 20.76 MPa, and the best elongation was 76.0%. Test results for the functional group of the chitosan-pectin-CaCl2 biocomposite for the presence of O-H, C-H, N-H bonds in the fact of O-H, C-H, N-H bonds at a wavelength of 4000-2500 cm-1, C=O, C=N, C=C at a wavelength of 2000 -1500, and the specific absorption of the chitosan-pectin-citric acid biocomposite 400-1400 cm-1 indicates that the resulting membrane tends to be polar, hydrophilic and environmentally friendly because it can be degraded. Based on the expected test results, it was shown that the chitosan-pectin-CaCl2 biocomposite has the potential to be applied as an ideal primary wound dressing for wound healing and protection.

Abstract

Ampas kopi dari kedai kopi selama ini pada umumnya tidak dimanfaatkan secara maksimal. Selain itu, minyak jelantah juga pada umumya dibuang ketika tidak dimanfaatkan dan dapat mencemari lingkungan. Minyak jelantah yang diolah dapat digunakan sebagai bahan baku pembuatan sabun. Dari fakta tersebut, limbah minyak jelantah berpotensi untuk dimanfaatkan sebagai sabun cuci piring. Ampas kopi juga dapat digunakan sebagai karbon aktif yang dapat digunakan untuk menyerap kotoran. Pada umumnya, minyak jelantah dari rumah tangga di Desa Kenine Kabupaten Bener Meriah, dimana angka pervalensi stunting cukup tinggi, dibuang atau digunakan kembali yang berdampak negatif bagi kesehatan tanpa dijadikan produk yang lebih berguna seperti sabun cuci piring. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, kegiatan pengabdian kepada kepada masyarakat di Desa Kenine Kabupaten Bener Meriah melalui kegiatan penyuluhan kepada masyarakat khususnya ibu-ibu yang berjumlah dua puluh delapan orang di desa tersebut untuk memanfaatkan limbah ampas kopi dan minyak jelantah sebagai bahan utama pembuatan sabun cuci piring sebagai solusi alternatif dari sabun cuci piring komersil yang lebih ekonomis. Hasil dari kegiatan penyuluhan ini adalah berubahnya cara pandang dan sikap dari peserta untuk menggunakan limbah minyak jelantah dan amps kopi yang dapat merusak lingkungan menjadi bahan yang lebih berguna yaitu sabun cuci piring serta keterampilan dan pemahaman terkait cara pembuatannya. Used Cooking Oil and Coffee Grinds Utilization for Dish Soap Production Counselling in Bener Meriah District Coffee grinds from coffee cafes should currently be used properly. Additionally, cooking oil can contaminate the environment because it is typically thrown away after use. Soap can be made using processed frying oil as a raw ingredient. These data suggest that leftover cooking oil may have a purpose as dishwashing soap. Additionally, coffee grinds can be utilized as activated carbon to draw dirt to the surface. Used cooking oil from homes in Kenine Village, Bener Meriah Regency, where stunting prevalence is rather high, is typically thrown out or reused without being converted into a more beneficial product like dishwashing soap, which is harmful to health. Based on these challenges, the Bener Meriah Regency's community service projects in Kenine Village involve reaching out to the locals to use leftover coffee grounds and cooking oil as the primary ingredients for dishwashing soap, which is a more affordable alternative to commercial dishwashing soap. As a result of this outreach program, participants' attitudes and perspectives regarding recycling waste that could harm the environment into more valuable commodities have changed.
