Abstract

Dye is an important compound in the textile industry. The famous dye for coloring of textile is methylene blue. Methylene blue degradation has been difficult when carried out naturally by microorganisms. The advanced oxidative process is a promising method to degrade methylene blue using semiconductor material TiO2 and its modification. The modification catalyst of TiO2 such as TiO2-N, TiO2/zeolite-NaY, and TiO2-N/zeolite-NaY. These materials were synthesized by mixing TiO2 and urea, then followed by impregnation of the mixture to zeolite-NaY as support material. The materials have been synthesized then characterized by XRD, and FTIR. Degradation of methylene blue on the synthesized materials was tested under UV light for 5, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes. The results showed that the diffractogram of TiO-N/zeolite-NaY and TiO2/zeolite-Y has a similar specific peak with TiO2 and zeolite-NaY. It indicates that the impregnation process was successful. TiO2/zeolite-NaY and TiO2-N/zeolite-NaY also showed excellent activity for degrading methylene blue, which reached up to 99% for 3 hours of reaction.

Abstract

Laterite soil is one of natural resources in East Kotawaringin regency, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, which contains high element of Fe. Fe is one of micronutrients that is needed for plant in slight amount. This study aims to determine the effect of chitosan composition and composition of zeolite : laterite on the release of Fe activities from synthesized fertilizers result. Laterite is characterized by using XRF and XRD. Slow release iron fertilizer is synthesized by eliciting laterite to zeolite matrix. Then, It is stirred into chitosan gel with concentration of 2, 2.6, and 2.8 % for 30 minutes. After Zeolite - laterite - chitosan has been homogenized, then it is dropped into 0.4 M NaOH to form beads. Then testing the release of Fe with the batch method in distilled water. The result showed that the laterite soil is amorphous form, and Fe content reached 80.25 % . The higher the concentration of chitosan which is used , then more Fe is released from fertilizer. Whereas if the amount of zeolite is greater, the slower the release of Fe will be.
