Abstract

This study investigates the thermal conversion of waste coral and its utilization as a heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production from soybean oil. In this work, waste coral is calcined at varied temperatures of 800, 900, and 1000°C, and the effect of the calcination temperature on the physicochemical character of the solid is evaluated through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and basicity measurement. The results show that the higher temperature facilitates the conversion of CaCO3 of the aragonite and calcite phases in raw waste coral into CaO, achieving a complete conversion at the temperature of 1000°C. Thermal conversion influences the increased surface basicity of the solid, which is associated with the higher activity for biodiesel production. Further studies on the obtained CaO as a catalyst demonstrate the catalyst dosage and the methanol-to-oil ratio as significant factors for fatty acid methyl ester production. The highest yield of 98.7% is achieved after a 3 hours reaction with 8 wt.% catalyst dosage and 9:1 methanol-to-oil ratio. The catalyst exhibits stability with an insignificantly decreased yield until the fifth usage cycle. The optimum conditions and reusability features of the calcined waste coral suggest that waste coral is a favorable CaO catalyst source for biodiesel production.

Abstract

In the present study, green synthesis of nickel-doped hydroxyapatite using Clitoria ternatea flower extract, and activity testing as photocatalyst, antibacterial agent and drug delivery agent were performed. Synthesis was conducted by hydrothermal treatment of co-precipitated precursors previously mediated with the extract. As drug delivery agent, immobilization of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) onto the prepared sample was performed by spray-drying method. Physicochemical characterization techniques of X-ray diffraction, UV-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy, Raman and Fourier-Transform Infra-red spectroscopy were performed to determine the structural and surface properties of material. Photocatalytic activity evaluation for tetracycline removal showed that material has capability to reduce concentration by photocatalytic degradation and photocatalytic oxidation. The degradation efficiency of material was 83.78%. The prepared material exhibited a significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. The material also expressed the potency as a drug-delivery agent of 5-fluorouracil as shown by the reduced CT26 cell viability of more than 85% during 48 hours.

Abstract

Photocatalytic oxidation is one of the methods in the advanced oxidation process. The method depends on several factors to be effective in application, one of these is the cost-effectivity and sustainability. The intent of this research work is to synthesize low-cost photocatalyst by using waste: palm leaves ash. Lignocellulosic as a structural compenent found in palm leaves has the potential for various applications, including as a catalyst for wastewater treatment. The Ni-biochar (Ni-BC) photocatalyst based on nickel nanoparticles was synthesized by using palm leaves under pyrolysis method on two varied Ni content; 10 and 30 % wt to get Ni10-BC and Ni30-BC, respectively. Various characterization techniques consist of XRD, SEM, and VSM were conducted, meanwhile the photocatalytic activity for methyl orange photodegradation was employed as activity testing. Results showed that single nickel nanoparticles dispersed on biochar structure are appeared by XRD measurement. The porous structure of materials is derived, with the magnetism of 9.64 emu/g and 3.87 emu/g for Ni content of 10 and 30 % wt., respectively. The fabricated Ni-BC samples showed excellent photoactivity represented by 74.73 and 50.01% of the degradation efficency towards methyl orange by Ni10-BC and Ni30-BC, respectively. A persuasive mechanism and kinetics are well presented. The kinetics study expressed the fitness of the degradation that follow pseudo-first order kinetics.

Abstract

Textile waste containing dye can generate environmental problems especially for human. Therefore some techniques are developed to overcome the impact of toxic contaminant from dyes residue, one of these is the photocatalysis technique. The photocatalysis mechanism TiO2 is a popular photocatalyst and in order to improve its activity the composite formation with a some solid support are attempted. The development of TiO2 composite with a sustainable support source; bamboo leaves was conducted. The composite was prepared by dispersing titanium isopropoxide into bamboo leaves ash (BLA) followed by calcination process. Hysicochemical characterization of the photocatalyst was performed by using XRD, gas sorption analyzer and SEM-EDX analysis. By the characterization it is found that BLA contains silica in highest percentage and furthermore TiO2 in the mixed anatase and rutile phases were formed the composite.

Abstract

Zeolite modification with Cu has been conducted. Material modification is done by impregnating Cu through a zeolite powder reflux process with CuSO4.5H2O solution so that theoretical Cu concentration is 5% followed by oxidation and reduction of solids. Material characterization was performed by x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) and acidity testing of Cu/Zeolite catalyst.The results showed that the crystallinity level of Cu/Zeolite did not change significantly when compared with natural zeolite. Changes occur at the intensity of the resulting peak, as at the peak of 2θ 27.826 º which is the mordenite phase in Cu-zeolite has a peak intensity of 1360, while at zeolite with peak of 2θ 27,760 º with the same phase meliki the smaller intensity of 1048. Testing the acidity of the catalyst was carried out by adsorbing pyridine into the catalyst, then calculating the adsorbed pyridine level, in the zeolite samples of pyridine adsorbed by 0.003 g / g while in the Cu-zeolite sample of 1.0574 g / g. The result of analysis with FTIR to show acidity level is seen in the range of wave number between 1450-1495 cm-1, from zeolite catalyst with wave number 1491,17 cm-1 peak intensity (% T) equal to 6,53, while at Cu-zeolite with wave number 1468.05 cm-1 peak intensity (% T) of 10.99. Testing of catalytic properties of Cu-zeolite catalyst on esterification reaction was done by taking acetic acid with concentration of 0.05 mol and methanol with concentration of 0.1 mol, then added 0.2 gram of catalyst, then reflux process for 1 hour. The results of reflux in the form of methyl esters were then analyzed by gas chromatography to see the retention time and the area of the resulting area. The use of Cu-zeolite catalysts yielding ester is indicated by the appearance of the ester peak.
