Abstract

Cadmium (Cd) is a common industrial pollutant with long biological half-life, which makes it a cumulative toxicant. Near-infrared spectroscopy has been successfully used for quick and accurate assessment of Cd content in agricultural materials, but the development of a quick detection method for ground and drinking water samples is of equal importance for pollution monitoring. Metals have no absorbance in the NIR spectral range, thus the methods developed so far have focused on detection of metal-organic complexes. This study uses Aquaphotomics to measure Cd in aqueous solutions by analyzing the changes in water spectra that occur due to water-metal interaction. Measurements were performed with Cd (II) in 0.1 M HNO3, in the 680-1090 nm (water second and third overtones) and 1110-1800 nm (water first overtone) spectral regions, and were subjected to partial least-square regression analysis. A concentration of Cd from 1 mg L-1 to 10 mg L-1 could be predicted by this model with average prediction correlation coefficient of 0.897. The model was tested by perturbations with temperature and other metal presence in the solution. The regression coefficient showed consistent peaks at 728, 752, 770, 780, 1362, 1430,1444, 1472/1474 and 1484 nm under various perturbations, indicating that these water absorbance changes were due to Cd presence. The residual predictive deviation values (RPD) were greater than 2, indicating that the model is appropriate for practical use

Abstract

Kandungan lemak merupakan salah satu parameter mutu utama dari kakao. Untuk menentukan lemak kakao, umumnya ditentukan dengan pengukuran standard laboratorium yang pada prosesnya melibatkan bahan kimia, memerlukan waktu yang lama dan bersifat destruktif. Teknologi sinar near infrared (NIR) merupakan metode baru yang bersifat ramah lingkungan, cepat dan tanpa merusak objek. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengaplikasikan teknologi sinar NIR untuk estimasi kadar lemak pada biji kakao utuh. Model prediksi dibangun dengan menggunakan dua metode regresi yang berbeda yaitu metode principal component regression (PCR) dan partial least square regression (PLSR). Spektrum NIR pada biji kakao diakuisisi dengan instrument NIR (Antaris Thermo Nicolet®), sedangkan kadar lemak aktual diukur dengan metode Soxhlet. Perbaikan data sinyal spektrum NIR dilakukan dengan metode Mean Normalization (MN). Hasil studi menunjukan bahwa teknologi NIR mampu mengestimasi kadar lemak biji kakao dengan tingkat akurasi: koefisien korelasi r = 0.82 (PCR) dan 0.83 (PLSR), koefisien Residual Predictive Deviation (RPD) = 1.75 (PCR) dan 1.8 (PLSR). Berdasarkan hasil studi dapat disimpulkan bahwa teknologi sensor berbasis sinar NIR mampu mengestimasi kadar lemak pada biji kakao secara akurat, efisien, dan ramah lingkungan. Teknologi ini dapat diaplikasikan pada proses sortasi dan grading biji kakao utuh.Kata Kunci:  biji kakao, lemak, nirs, plsr, pcr

Abstract

This research proposed a method to produce activated carbon from rice husk by carbonation process, physical activation and chemical activation using NaOH. The performance of activated carbon was tested by batch experiments in which the adsorption system contained 1 g of rice husk activated carbon in 100 mL of artificial wastewater with initial concentration of Cu(II) ion being 148.26 mg/L, initial pH 6, at 27 oC and 1 atm to determine the efficiency of reducing Cu(II) ion over the contact time and presence of stirring on chemical activation. The results showed that the efficiency of reducing Cu(II) ion by rice husk activated carbon increased exponentially with increasing contact time with a maximum value of 74.33% at 90 minutes of contact time. The results also showed that stirring on chemical activation increased the efficiency of Cu(II) ion reduction by 14.94%. Adsorption kinetics studies showed that Cu(II) ion reduction followed the pseudo-second order adsorption equation with the adsorption capacity of 10.18 mg/g and  adsorption rate constant of 0.0013 g/mg.min for rice husk activated carbon without stirring in the chemical activation. Stirring in the chemical activation.increased the capacity and rate of adsorption constant to 12.07 mg/g and 0.0052 g/mg.min, respectively.

Abstract

Minyak nilam merupakan salah satu komoditas ekspor paling besar di Indonesia, akan tetapi saat ini kualitias dari minyak nilam masih sangat rendah hal ini ditandai dengan rendahnya kandungan patchouli alkohol sebagai kompenen utama. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk menganalisis komponen  utama minyak nilam (patchoulialkohol) secara cepat tanpa merusak sampel. Rancangan penelitian ini menggunakan model kalibrasi dan validasi pada patchouli alkohol dengan menggunakan Partial Least Square (PLS) sebagai bagian dari analisis Chemometrics. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan performa kinerja PLS pada pretreatment multiplicative scatter correction dengan nilai RPD yang paling besar yaitu 302,5. Sehingga dapat tergolong ke dalam good model performance dengan nilai koefisien korelasi (r) yang tinggi 0,99, nilai koefisien determinasi (R2) yang bagus 83%, dan nilai error (RMSECV) yang paling kecil yaitu 0,02.

Abstract

Recently, membrane technology has developed rapidly as a process for water treatment. The membrane process is in demand due to several advantages including being able to work at low temperatures, easier to operate and easy to scale up. Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is an inorganic compound that is inexpensive, non-toxic and hydrophilic, so it has the potential to be used as an additive in membrane fabrication. This study aims to determine the characteristics and performance (permeability and selectivity) of Polyethersulfone (PES) membrane modified with Mg(OH)2, using dimethyl Acetamide (DMAc) as solvent. The membrane was made by blending polymer with phase inversion technique and the characterization carried out included membrane morphological tests, functional group tests, water contact angle tests and evaluating membrane performance by measuring membrane selectivity and permeability. The results showed that the hydroxyl group contained in Mg(OH)2 was able to increase the hydrophilicity which was indicated by a decrease in the water contact angle on the modified membrane to 65o. The Mg(OH)2 additive acts as a pore-forming agent which can be seen in the changes in membrane morphology on the cross-section of the membrane surface. The performance of the membrane resulted in an increase in membrane permeability of 51 L/m2.hour.bar with humid acid rejection of 63%.

Abstract

The mining industry raises many environmental problems in the ecosystem, one of which is the emergence of acid mine drainage. Because of this issue, this study was conducted to see the performance of dolomite adsorbents in purifying acid mine drainage at iron ore mining in Aceh Besar, Indonesia. The adsorption of Cu2+ metal ions using dolomite adsorbents has the best equilibrium result at a contact time of 15 minutes, the efficiency at equilibrium reaches 92.97%, and the absorption capacity reaches 9.07 mg/g at an initial measured concentration of 19.5 mg/L with an adsorbent weight of 0.2 gr. On the other hand, Mn2+ has the best equilibrium in 30 minutes with an efficiency of 95.17% and an adsorption capacity of 0.92 mg/g at a measured concentration of 5.8 mg/L and an adsorbent weight of 0.6 gr. The obtained kinetic model is a pseudo second order.
