Abstract

The black water containing humic acid, HA in peat land rural area is a serious issue. This study aims to synthesis of activated carbon, AC from Ilalang Weeds, IW (Imperata cylindrica) as low-cost adsorbent for HA. The success AC synthesis by H3PO4 activator from IW was evidently characterized by Fourier Transform Infra-Red, FTIR and Scanning Electron Microscopy, SEM. The effects of pH solution, initial HA concentration, and contact time were systematically studied to investigate the performance of Activated Carbon from Ilalang Weeds, ACIW. The results showed the increasing of Langmuir monolayer capacity of HA adsorption on carbon from IW before (49.75 mg g-1) and after (56.82 mg g-1) activation process at the pH optimum 6.0. The equilibrium adsorption data fitted with the isotherm model was shifted from multilayer Freundlich model (CIW) into monolayer Langmuir model as the consequences of increasing pore diameter size and active sites intensity. Calculation of adsorption energy by Dubinin-Radushkevich (EDR) model, 0.50 and 2.24 kJ mol-1 for CIW and ACIW, respectively, showed the increasing of physical affinity of HA with the active sites of adsorbent. Adsorption kinetics showed that the adsorption behavior followed the Ho pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The experimental results of this work demonstrate that the ACIW can be used as a promising low-cost adsorbent for HA removal for clean water production in peat land rural area.

Abstract

The dependence on the imported bullet-proof vest  as one of the main equipments of the National Defense System needs attention. This condition treats the independence of domestic defense security. In contrast, the potential of natural materials for bullet-proof vest plates are abundant in Indonesia. Nata de Coco is one of the natural raw materials for producing bullet-proof vest plates that has the potential to be developed. This preliminary research proved that increasing the bond strength of cellulose in Nata de Coco was performed by adding the appropriate crosslinkers. The addition of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) 2% crosslinker to form Nata de Coco kevlar-like plates (Navlar) was evidenced to increase threefold tensile strength (99.15 MPa) from its original Nata de Coco (31.92 MPa). The development of Navlar is a very strategic sector for producing high-quality bullet-proof vest plates equivalent to kevlar strength. Navlar is more prospective than Kevlar due to its abundant source, cheap, lightweight, and ease to manufacture. Developing Navlar could replace the dependence on imported Kevlar and support the domestic defense industry.

Abstract

Modification of humic acid (HA) from the peat soil of Jambi province, Indonesia with chitin and magnetite to form Fe3O4/HA-chitin has been successfully carried out. The successful synthesis was identified from characterization with functional group analysis, crystal analysis, magnetic strength measurement, and morphological and elemental analysis. The application of Fe3O4/HA-chitin to adsorb Pb(II) ion was analyzed using the Lagergren, Ho, Santosa, and RBS kinetics models (kinetics study) and the Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR), and Temkin isotherm model (isotherm study). The kinetics study followed the Ho model (pseudo-second order) with R2 and kHo of 0.9997 and 10264.59 g/mol min, respectively. The results of the data applicable to the Freundlich model showed that several sites were capable of multilayer adsorption (B) with a large enough adsorption capacity of 929.19 mg/g (about 28 times higher than the monolayer adsorption of Langmuir data). However, the outermost layer had a feeble adsorption energy of 0.51 kJ/mol, as measured by Temkin's adsorption energy. In the layer between the first layer (Langmuir) and the outermost layer (Freundlich), the DR isotherm was measured at a capacity of 104.87 mg/g (qD, the 3rd layer of the first layer) the adsorption energy was measured at 12.91 kJ/mol. A cross-study on the prediction of adsorption energy using the Santosa and RBS kinetics models showed that the RBS model had an adsorption energy value (26.45 kJ/mol) that was closer to the adsorption energy value of the Langmuir isotherm (27.55 kJ/mol).

Abstract

Isopropylidene Glycerol Acetate (IGA) and Isopropylidene Glycerol Propanoate (IGP) as ester compounds using acetic and propanoic acids have been synthesized, characterized, and studied for their antibacterial properties. The IGA was synthesized from ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and 1,2-O-isopropyliden glycerol (IPG) with a mole ratio of 1:8 through a transesterification reaction. Meanwhile, the IGP was synthesized using ethyl propanoate (EP) with the same ratio and method as IGA. All materials in this study were identified using FT-IR, GC-MS, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR. The characterization results indicated that the compounds of EP, IPG, IGA, and IGP had been successfully formed and identified. It was also revealed that the compounds of EP, IPG, IGA, and IGP were successfully synthesized with yields of 37.72, 27.78, 70.11, and 63.83%, respectively. The antibacterial activity test revealed that neither IGA nor IGP inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus or Escherichia coli at concentrations of 62.5; 125; 250; 500; and 1000 ppm. Therefore, it was asserted that ester compounds synthesized with short-chain carboxylic acids, such as propanoic and acetic acids, lacked antibacterial properties.

Abstract

Significant efforts are necessary to prevent the spoilage of fatty acid-rich foods as a result of lipid oxidation. Active packaging is a technology that employs packaging films containing antioxidants to increase the stability of perishable foods susceptible to oxidation. This preliminary study aimed to incorporate tannic acid (TA) into a chitosan/κ-carrageenan (Chit/κ-Car)-based polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) films and evaluate their antioxidant release profile. The composition of Chit/κ-Car, glycerol (gly), and TA in PEC films were also investigated in this preliminary study as factors influencing the mechanical properties of films and the antioxidant release profile. The prepared PEC films were identified by an FTIR spectrometer and examined through a mechanical property test. The DPPH method was used to assess the antioxidant property of the Chit/κ-Car-based PEC films. The infrared spectra revealed that PEC films were formed through the interaction between ꟷNH3+ of Chit and ꟷOSO3ꟷ of κ-Car. Increasing the κ-Car and TA compositions in the PEC films increased the tensile strength (TS) and water absorption capacity (WAC), but decreased the elongation (E). The release profile of TA from PEC films followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model through the Fickian diffusion mechanism with n < 0.5. The antioxidant activity test of PEC films using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method revealed high antioxidant activity with radical scavenging activity (RSA) values up to 95.04%. As a result, the Chit/κ-Car-based PEC films have the potential to be developed as active packaging. Keywords: Active packaging, antioxidant, Chit/κ-Car-based PEC films, release profile, TA
