Abstract

This study investigates the optimization of an adsorption process using activated coconut shell charcoal to reduce sulfide and ammonia levels in tofu industry wastewater. These pollutants pose significant environmental risks due to their biodegradable nature. Experimental parameters, including adsorbent particle size (50, 60, and 70 mesh), heating temperature (40, 80, 120 °C, and ambient), and contact time (15-60 minutes for sulfide, 20-100 minutes for ammonia), were systematically varied to determine optimal conditions. The initial sulfide and ammonia concentrations in the wastewater exceeded regulatory limits at 0.169 mg/L and 8.177 ppm, respectively. The results indicate that 70-mesh activated charcoal at ambient temperature achieved maximum pollutant removal: 93.46% for sulfide with a 30-minute contact time and 93.693% for ammonia with a 40-minute contact time. These findings offer a promising approach to mitigating the environmental impact of tofu industry wastewater.

Abstract

The low nutrient content and acidic soil pH (pH 5) are a significant problem in Tangsil Wetan Village, Bondowoso, where most of the population works as farmers. This condition affects the growth and productivity of the farm's produce. To address this issue, we introduced liquid organic fertilizer derived from rabbit urine. The work was implemented in several phases: socialization, training in the production of rabbit urine-based liquid organic fertilizer, fertilizer application, and subsequent observation. The fertilizer production process involves fermenting rabbit urine mixed with molasses, EM4 liquid, and water for ten days. The resulting liquid fertilizer is then applied to the rice fields in three stages of spraying. We conducted observations to measure soil parameters, such as pH, before and after fertilizer application. The results indicated an improvement in soil conditions after the three sprayings, with a notable increase in soil pH from 5.0 to 5.4. However, the short-term impact on plants has been limited; consistent application is necessary to achieve maximum results.

Abstract

Caffeine, a well-known alkaloid presents in plants such as tea, coffee, and kola nuts, was thoroughly analyzed in coffee mistletoe. Our study successfully extracted caffeine using dichloromethane and chloroform, incorporating qualitative testing and robust method validation with a visible spectrophotometer. Notably, dichloromethane yielded the highest caffeine extract at 0.042 grams. The qualitative tests distinctly confirmed the presence of caffeine, evidenced by a color change with Parry's reagent and a maximum absorption wavelength of 273 nm. We also pinpointed the caffeine complex’s maximum wavelength at 640 nm, further validating our findings against a standard solution. Our method validation showed impressive linearity (r = 0.9974), with limits of detection at 1.81 ppm and quantitation at 6.02 ppm. The accuracy ranged between 90.0% and 97.5%, while the precision values were consistently around 98%. Additionally, we determined the water content of the coffee mistletoe leaf powder to be 8.733%. This comprehensive analysis establishes a strong foundation for the caffeine content in coffee mistletoe.

Abstract

Seawater, which has a salinity of 35 ‰, contains essential ions such as chloride, sodium, sulfate, magnesium, and calcium. These ions play a crucial role in the coagulation of proteins. Salt-based coagulants are among the oldest and most commonly used in tofu production. Additionally, several metal cations exhibit similar coagulating effects on soybean proteins. Tofu can be produced by adding salt coagulants, like calcium sulfate (commonly known as tofu stone) and seawater extract. The seawater extract was obtained from seawater through evaporation in three distinct ponds, with varying evaporation times that can lead to differences in salinity and density. In this experiment, we used coagulants from these three ponds, labeled A, B, and C. Coagulant C, derived from the pond with the longest evaporation time, has the highest salinity of 310 ‰ and a density of 1.220 g/cm³. The mass of the tofu produced shows a consistent pattern among coagulants A, B, and C: an initial increase followed by a decrease, which is influenced by the salting-out and salting-in processes. When used at a volume of 15 mL, Coagulant C yielded the highest mass at 179.426 grams and the lowest water content at 71.152%, demonstrating its effectiveness in protein coagulation.

Abstract

Determination of phosphate levels can be done using the potentiometric method with cobalt material-based electrodes with various techniques and compositions. This study uses copper metal as a supporting material. Surface coating of copper was carried out using solution of cobalt chloride and cobalt sulphate in various concentrations by applying voltammetric electrodeposition technique. The electrodes produced for each concentration of cobalt source were examined for the peak-reducing current. The potentiometric response was characterized using a standard phosphate solution, and the morphology using SEM. The best electrodes were used for soil phosphate analysis, and the results were compared with spectrometric methods. The results showed that the optimum concentration of cobalt source solution was characterized by the highest reduction peak of cobalt, namely at a concentration of 0.1 M. Electrodes made with chloride solution produced a higher peak of reduction current, had a sensitivity of -16.21 mV/decade which higher than that of electrodes from sulphate solution, namely -14.59 mV/decade in the phosphate concentration range of 0.001-1000 ppm. The morphology of the two types of electrodes also show differences, the electrode made of chloride material has a surface morphological structure that looks uneven and pretty rough, and there are oval grains that form like crystals and have a uniform shape. In contrast, the electrode made of sulphate material looks flatter and smooth and forms lumps. The results of the analysis of phosphate levels in the soil samples using the electrode are similar to the results of the analysis of the spectrophotometric method

Abstract

The gas sensor performance can be improved by optimizing the testing chamber design, including volume, shape, gas inlet/outlet positions, and sensor array. We studied the effect of chamber design on the gas sensor's response patterns characteristics in differentiating Robusta coffee aroma from Sidomulyo, and Bangsalsari, Jember. Hemisphere and cylindrical chambers, with three variations for each model, and a ring chamber, were used as model chambers. Eight types of gas sensors (MQ-135, MQ-136, MQ-2, MQ-3, MQ-6, MQ-7, MQ-8, and MQ-9) were used in the sensor array system to examine the gas sensor instrument performance. The resulting responses were analyzed using the reproducibility, response time, and principal component analysis (PCA) test. The result shows that the reproducibility value for all hemisphere chamber models, cylindrical chamber model-1, and ring chamber indicated an excellent sensor performance (%RSD<20%). Meanwhile, the cylindrical chambers model-2 and 3 resulted in %RSD>20%, indicating the low performance of the gas sensor. Among all variations, hemisphere chamber model-1, a hemisphere chamber with the inlet position lower than the outlet gas position, has the best performance due to the shortest response time, high-intensity signal, and performing ability to distinguish the response patterns characteristics of Robusta coffee aroma from Sidomulyo and Bangsalsari, Jember, Indonesia. In this study, we found that changing the testing chamber design, volume, and inlet/outlet position resulting different gas sensor responses to the coffee aroma. The proposed instrument can distinguish the coffee aroma from a different origin.
