Abstract

The increasing number of electroplating industries in this globalization era has a negative impact on the environment because of its liquid waste containing high concentrations of hexavalent chromium, Cr (VI). To overcome this problem, biochitin extracted from white shrimp shell waste (L.vanamme) has been used to adsorb Cr (VI) from electroplating waste. Biochitins were extracted through single and sequential fermentation method using L.plantarum and B.thuringiensis bacteria. The optimization process of Cr (VI) removal was done by using biochitin from different methods, at various mass of biochitin, the time of adsorption, and Cr (VI) concentration. Results showed that biochitin produced from the sequential fermentation method could optimally adsorb Cr (VI). By using 2 g of biochitin, Cr (VI) could be removed as much as 51.99 ± 0.41% during 6 hours. At the optimum condition, the selected adsorbent could remove Cr (VI) in the concentration range of 9.38 to 92.39 mg/L, which showed the adsorption capacity of 0.915 mg/g. The capability of biochitin for Cr (VI) removal was reinforced by the SEM EDS images, which show the presence of chromium compounds in the biochitin.

Abstract

This study provides information about the physicochemical properties and performance of activated carbon combined with copper to remove paracetamol from waste models. The activated carbon (AC) comes from coconut shell charcoal. CuCl2 was used as the copper source which then combined with activated carbon (AC). The AC was obtained by activating the coconut shell charcoal using KOH and 500°C calcination for 10 minutes. Carbon functionalization were done using H2SO4 6M as an oxidizer and temperature of 80°C for 3 hours. The impregnation of activated carbon with CuCl2 produces CuCl2/AC, then the CuCl2/AC was reacted with NaOH 5M to form precipitation of Cu(OH)2/AC. CuO/AC composite was finally produced by calcining the Cu(OH)2/AC to 950°C for 5 minute. The composite was characterized by FTIR, SEM-EDX, XRF and X-ray diffraction. The adsorption of paracetamol with CuO/AC composite gave the best results of 95.56% efficiency.

Abstract

Aquatic sediment has a role for heavy metals sink. Understanding the geochemical fractions of heavy metals in the aquatic sediment can predict the mobility and reactivity of heavy metals fractions that can induce environmental problems. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of geochemical fractions of copper and zinc in aquatic sediment of Nyolo spring. Sediments samples were taken from five locations along the spring. Geochemical fractions of copper and zinc were extracted using BCR (Community Bureau of Reference) sequential extraction method. The concentration of these metals in each extract was analyzed using AAS. The result showed that overall the sediment consisted of zinc at a higher concentration than copper. Amongst the geochemical fractions, copper and zinc were found dominantly at an oxidizable fraction. As the first fraction, Zn was more bioavailable than copper for biological uptake. Furthermore, based on the Risk Assessment Code (RAC) value, the aquatic sediment of Nyolo Spring was low risk to the Zn and Cu contaminations at most sites, except for Zn in Site III showed a medium risk. This metals fraction will potentially available for organism uptake with the changing of pH sediment or overlying water

Abstract

The organic-agricultural waste resulted from local farmer or community gardening recently paid public attention. The presence and easily grown of “Lidah Mertua” or Sanseviera trifasciata being focused on potency investigation for its prospecting application. It was reported contain some phenolic and also tannin extracted from aqueous solvents. This paper revealed recent investigation applying of its isolated tannin from leave part to modifying of activated carbon. The previous report published that carbon were able to adsorb some toxic heavy metals. However, it has some limitation including lower capacity adsorption. Impregnated or immobilized the tannin-isolated from S. trifasciata leaves was able to modify the carbon functionality, physical appearance, pores size, and it adsorption capacity. Both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption mechanism model also disclosed the developed adsorbent mechanism of iron(II) adsorption on the adsorbent tannin-immobolized on carbon. The real test using community well drilling water source also gave important finding on the concentration of iron(II) contained on water source.

Abstract

The chemical modification using esterification method to modification the papyrus fiber cellulose with citric acid was studied. Parameters investigated included the citrate acid concentration (between 0.3 to 0.6 M), and reaction temperature (from 110 to 140o C). The ester cellulose, which was a new product reaction between citric acid and cellulose, had Substitution Degree (SD) from 0.088 to 1.147 and yield from 73.75% to 97.73%. The esterification product was analyzed with FTIR spectrophotometer and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to identify the functional groups and the morphology of ester cellulose. Based on this research, modified cellulose have the peak of ester carbonyl functional group (C=O) at 1740.43 cm-1 and O-H alcohol functional group (O-H) at band 3406.82cm-1. Modification with citric acid 0.6 M at 120o C is the best condition to get the high DS value 1.147 in 97.73 yield as a brown powder.

Abstract

In this research, the diffusion coefficient of phosphate ions in agarose-citric acid diffusive gel has been studied. The agarose-citric acid diffusion layer was prepared by mixing 1.5% agarose solution with the addition of citric acid solutions at various concentration. The diffusive gel was casted between two glass plates which were separated using a spacer of 0.1 cm thickness and clamped together in the three sides. Gel was formed for 15 minutes in an oven at 40oC. The diffusion coefficient then was calculated using Fick's First law formula. Gel that produced with addition of 0.45% citric acid absorbed more water during immersion in water for 3 hours for facilitating phosphate diffusion. Swelling degree of the agarose citric acid diffusive gels was not affected by the storing solution condition either in water or in NaNO3 0.1 M. Coefficient diffusion of phosphate in the agarose-citric acid diffusive gel was 1.009×10-7 cm2s-1, less than the diffusion in the pure agarose gel 1.367×10-7 cm2s-1. The diffusion is affected by the ionic strength of solution. Phosphate diffusion coefficient is higher in the phosphate solution with addition of 2 mgL-1 nitrate. Increasing the ionic strength causes lower phosphate diffusion coefficient because the electrostatic attractive and repulsive force
