Abstract

The use of hydroxide compounds as CO2 absorbents for Measurement of Carbon-14 in Coral Reef Sample fromSpermonde Archipelago. This research aimed to determine the age of coral reef sample of Spermonde Archipelago by measuring the activity of carbon-14 using the method Liquid Scintillation Counting (LSC). The coral reef sample was collected in Langkai Island. The research was conducted by following steps of sample preparation, the CO2 absorption using the hydroxide solutions (KOH and NaOH). The measurement of the carbon-14 activities was performed using the Liquid Scintillation Counter (LSC) Hidex 300 SL. The research results indicated that the absorption capacities of KOH and NaOH were 0,450 and 0,425 mol CO2/mol hydroxide respectively. The specific activity of coral reef sample using absorbent KOH and NaOH were 14.51; and 14.57 DPM/g C, respectively.The age of coral reef sample, which was calculated based on the specific activity values using the absorbents KOH and NaOH were 436.13; and 403.61years, respectively.

Abstract

Honey is a sweet liquid that comes from the nectar of plants that are processed by bee. The composition of minerals in honey is an important factor in determining the quality of honey because it can affect the properties of bio-chemical physics honey. This research investigated the essential minerals concentration (Cr, Zn, and Mn), as well as the properties of bio-chemical physics. Three samples were collected from different location in the district Kindang is, Kindang, Pattallassang and Oro Gading. Honey samples were analyzed for essential micro mineral Chromium, Zinc and Manganese by using instrument ICP-OES and also analyzed for common bio-physicochemical parameters like moisture content, acidity, ash, pH, conductivity, protein, fat, carbohydrate and calorie. Ranged concentration manganese content of honey from 0.05 to 0.07 mg/mL0,05-0,07 mg/mL and concentration of chromium ≤0,1 ng/mL-0.22 mg/mL, whereas the concentration of zinc is below the limit detection tool that is ≤0,1 ng/mL. The average value of the quality of honey Kindang districts is 19.69% water content, ash content of 0.26%; DHL 0.36 mS/cm; 22.06 acidity meq/kg; pH 4.43; protein of 7.19% (w/w); 0.1301% fat. Total carbohydrate is 72.55%; calories 320.3101 cal; and energy 1340.2289 KJ. The results of this study indicate that manganese has the highest concentration in all samples of honey and showed tah hhoney from Kindang district have the a good quality according to national  and international standar of honey
