Abstract

Heavy metals are known to seriously injure land plants and animals, including humans, as well as marine species when present in contaminated water. For the batch adsorption technique used in this study, Cu(II) ions were removed from an aqueous solution using an inexpensive  environmentally friendly adsorbent prepared from the extracted pectin of ambarella fruit peel. The functional groups of the extracted pectin were studied using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). Operational conditions like pH, contact time, and initial adsorbate concentration were investigated. FTIR characterization showed that pectin was successfully extracted from ambarella fruit peel with the appearance of the peaks at 3331.36 cm-1, 2924.02 cm-1, 1727.38 cm-1, 1626.20 cm-1, 1329.31cm−1, 1232.43cm−1, 994.18 cm−1 and these peaks have similar characteristic with a commercial pectin. The maximum uptake of Cu(II) ions was obtained at a pH of 4, a contact time of 90 min, an initial metal concentration of 150 ppm. The extracted pectin has an adsorption capacity of 6.5860 mg/g for the removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution under the optimum adsorption conditions. In addition, the data obtained from contacting the extracted pectin of ambarella fruit peel in Batang Arau River water showed an adsorption capacity of 0.0376 mg/g. Therefore, the pectin that was extracted from the peel of the ambarella fruit could be used to filter out Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions.

Abstract

Glucose is an essential monosaccharide that serves as the main source of energy in the human body. An imbalance in glucose levels in the body can lead to serious metabolic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus. Therefore, effective methods of analyzing and monitoring glucose levels are needed for early detection and more optimal disease management. In this study, a non-enzymatic glucose sensor based on Pencil Lead Electrode (PLE) modified with silver-gold (Ag-Au) bimetallic was developed through electrodeposition method using cyclic voltammetry. This modification aims to improve sensitivity and cost efficiency in glucose detection compared to enzymatic sensors, that are susceptible to denaturation and higher production costs. Electrodeposition is performed in a potential range of 1.6 V to -0.4 V to obtain an optimal bimetallic coating on the PLE surface. The Ag-Au/PLE electrode provided the best electrochemical response in detecting glucose, with oxidation and re-oxidation peaks at +0.01 V in 0.1 M KOH as a supporting electrolyte. The optimal condition was obtained in five electrodeposition cycles, with a correlation coefficient value of 0.9984 and a detection limit of 0.206 mM, indicating high sensitivity and accuracy. These results indicate that Ag-Au/PLE electrodes have great potential as reliable, sensitive and economical non-enzymatic glucose sensors.
