Abstract

In this work, bismuth silicate-titania has been synthesized in two stages by utilizing bismuth oxynitrate as an elemental source of bismuth, oil palm leaves (OPL) as a source of silica and titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) as source of titania (TiO2). In the first stage,bismuth silicate/silica (Bi4Si3O12/SiO2) was formed, which occurs due to the in-situ decomposition of palm leaves and reacts directly with the bismuth precursor at high temperatures (900oC). The reaction could possibly occur through a solid-state reaction mechanism between bismuth oxide and silica or through a more complex mechanism within the reaction mixture. The resulting product then reacts with TTIP, which is added and heated at the same temperature to form Bi4Si3O12/SiO2-TiO2 (bismuth silicate/silica-titania). Characterization of the as-prepared product using X-ray diffraction showed the dominance of bismuth silicate and small amount of titania (TiO2). As a result, TiO2 could not be detected in the diffractogram. Nevertheless, an analysis using energy-dispersive X-rays showed the presence of titanium elements in the resulting composite. The results of this study can be used to develop ternary metal oxides based on natural resources and agricultural wastes, such as oil palm leaves.

Abstract

The intriguing pursuit of environmentally friendly solvents with tailored properties for diverse applications is a focal point of numerous studies, encompassing precursor selection, thorough characterization, and the exploration of potential applications. The study aims to assess the physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity of deep eutectic solvents (DES) produced from N,N-dimethyl urea (DMU) and citric acid (CA), highlighting differences from their individual precursors. Various mass ratio variations of (DMU, solid) and (CA, solid) (DMU:CA = 1.0:1.0; 1.0:1.5; 1.0:2.0; 2.0: 1.0; 1.5:1.0) have been tested to make DES solvents through the melt process. Both types of blends generally melt at a temperature of 80°C. The overall liquid resulting from the melting of solids was generally clear in color. Molecular analysis using an infrared spectrophotometer showed some insignificant shifts from one product to another, compared with DMU and CA as precursors. Likewise, analysis using a UV–Vis spectrophotometer, when the entire sample was dissolved in demineralized water (2 mg/mL), showed no difference in the spectrum. In addition, functional group analysis using a spectrophotometer showed some minor changes, mainly shifts in peaks due to changes in the DMU:CA ratio. This may be due to the interaction of the hydrogen donor and the hydrogen acceptor in DES. All samples showed absorption peaks in the ultraviolet region of 202-210 nm. The resulting DES application showed growth inhibitory activity for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria in all products produced. The same analysis of the two types of precursors used showed that only CA had activity, but DMU did not have similar activity.

Abstract

Using ammonium vanadate and natural silica from oil palm leaves in situ at 900oC is a sustainable synthesis method for producing V2O5-SiO2 mixed oxides in the form of a brownish powder. Therefore, this study aims to investigate a more environmentally friendly alternative to synthesizing V2O5-SiO2 using oil palm leaves, a by-product from oil palm farming. The XRD analysis of the reaction products showed specific V2O5 peaks and broadened peaks, indicating the presence of amorphous silica. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, which revealed the presence of Si-O-Si and Si-O-V functional groups, also supported the characteristic assessment. In addition, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis showed that V2O5 (46.70 mass%) and SiO2 (52.60 mass%) were present, along with small amounts of other possible metal oxides, such as P2O5, K2O, CaO, Fe2O3, Al2O3, and PdO.
