Abstract

Sharks are sea water fishes belong to the class Chondrichthyes, Subclass Elasmobranchii. Sharks are cartilaginous fish that have a different osmoregulation process than any other sea water fish. Cartilaginous fish is the only vertebrate that can maintain urea. This study aims to determine the anatomical and histological structure of the kidney in the anterior, medial and posterior parts of kidney. The study was conducted by observing anatomy of the kidney. Histological preparations were made using the paraffin method. Qualitative descriptive data analysis was done. Research results show that shark kidneys consist of three parts, namely the head kidney, the body kidney, and the tail kidney. Kidney sharks are brownish red with a size of 18 cm long. Histological observations of shark kidney in the head kidney reveals many glomerulus, body kidney reveals many distal and tubule proximal contractile tubules whereas tail kidney reveals stroma that is rarely found in vertebrate kidney.

Abstract

Synthesis of Zr-ZA catalystused as catalyst for esterification reaction of glycerol with acetic acid anhydrous has been done. Catalysts are characterized using an infrared spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction, and measurement of surface acidity, while reaction products are characterized using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer. Effect of catalyst acidity, reaction time and re-addition of acetic acid anhydrous studied by glycerol conversion and selectivity value of triacetin were yielded. Infra-red spectrophotometer and X-ray diffraction analysis of the catalyst showed that the synthesized catalyst was zirconium zeolite (Zr-ZA), while esterification analysis using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer showed a triacetin product.
