Abstract

A highly active and selective hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural into furfuryl alcohol was achieved using supported single phase Ni3Sn2 alloy catalysts. Various supports such as active carbon (AC), g-Al2O3, Al(OH)3, ZnO, TiO2, ZrO2, MgO, Li-TN, and SiO2 have been employed in order to understand the role of the support on the formation of Ni3Sn2 alloy phase and its catalytic performance. Supported Ni3Sn2 alloy catalysts were synthesised via a simple hydrothermal treatment of the mixture of aqueous solution of nickel chloride hexahydrate and ethanol solution of tin(II) chloride dihydrate in presence of ethylene glycol at 423 K for 24 h followed by H2 treatment at 673 K for 1.5 h, then characterised by using ICP-AES, XRD, H2- and N2-adsorption. XRD profiles of samples showed that the Ni3Sn2 alloy phases are readily formed during hydrothermal processes and become clearly observed at 2θ = 43-44o after H2 treatment. The presence of Ni3Sn2 alloy species that dispersed on the supports is believed to play a key role in highly active and selective hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural towards furfuryl alcohol. Ni3Sn2 on TiO2 and ZnO supports exhibited much lower reaction temperature to achieved >99% yield of furfuryl alcohol product compared with other supports. The effects of loading amount of Ni-Sn, reaction conditions (temperature and time profile) on the activity and selectivity towards the desired product are systematically discussed.

Abstract

This study used red mud as an adsorbent for biogas purification. However, red mud had to undergo dealumination and calcination processes before being used as an adsorbent. Several acids, including 1 M HCl and 1M H2SO4, were employed in the red mud dealumination process, which was then analysed by XRF and GSA instruments. The results show that the best type of acid for the dealumination process was HCl with a Si/Al ratio, total pore volume, surface area and pore radius of 1.697; 67,081 m2/g; 0.1624 cm3/g; 48.4242 Å. The biogas purification process was carried out using red mud adsorbent dealuminated with HCl by varying the length of the adsorbent column, such as 10, 20 and 30 cm, and the contact time of 5, 10, 15 and 20 min. The optimum column length variation was 30 cm. The results obtained for this variation were a decrease in CO2 content of 292742.30 ppm with an efficiency of 19.08%. The increase in CH4 was 378232.69 ppm with a percentage increase of 240.28%.

Abstract

Biomaterials that can be used as coatings on dental implants are hydroxyapatites. One of the natural substances used in the synthesis of hydroxyapatite is the ale-ale shell, which has a substantial calcium content of 93,444%. The hydroxyapatite synthetic was carried out using a hydrothermal method that uses the calcium precursor (Ca) of the ale-ale shell and phosphate precursors (P) derived from (NH4)2HPO4, as well as NH4OH as a pH regulator. This research uses the influence variables of CaO/(NH4)2HPO4 concentration (0.67; 1.67; and 2.67) and pH (11, 12, and 13). The results of the FTIR analysis showed that the typical absorption peaks of hydroxyapatites are , OH-, and group absorptions. XRD analysis results showed the formation of major HAp peaks that correspond to ICDD data 01-072- 1243, with the highest peaks in succession appearing at angles 31,74; 31,67; and 31,64°. The crystal size is 35,25; 123,39; and 55,81 nm with degrees of crystallinity in sequence of 87,28; 91,67; and 95,09° and has a hexagonal crystal shape. Hydroxyapatite synthesis with ale-ale shell waste raw materials by hydrothermal method gives the best results at a concentration of CaO/(NH4)2HPO4 2.67-pH 13.

Abstract

White shrimp shell (Litopenaeus vannamei) is one of the biomaterial sources to obtain chitin. Chitin could undergo deacetylation process through hydrolysis in strong base solution to produce chitosan. This research aims to determine the potential of chitosan as an environmentally friendly adsorbent for the treatment of groundwater containing high iron ions in Pontianak. The research was conducted in two main stages; obtaining chitosan from the chitin of white shrimp shells, and treating municipal groundwater sample that is high in iron ions content. To obtain chitosan, raw biomaterial chitin from white shrimp shell has been prepared by demineralisation and deproteination process and followed by the deacetylation. The deacetylation of chitin was carried out through hydrolysis reaction in three variation concentrations of aqueous NaOH (i.e 30%, 50%, and 70%-b/v). The measurement of deacetylation degree of chitosan was determined by acid-base titration method and FTIR method. The chitosan with the highest degree of deacetylation was obtained from 70%-b/v NaOH which were 87.4% and 69.0% by acid-base titration method and FTIR, respectively. The chitosan then was utilized in groundwater treatment. The results showed that the chitosan can be utilized as an adsorbent in the pre-treatment process of groundwater in reducing the iron ion content. Almost 40% iron ion were successfully immobilized when 2% (b/v) adsorbent was applied. These results lead to a sustainability of water resources in Pontianak so that city groundwater can be used as an alternative water source for the community.

Abstract

Seawater as abundant source for clean water is deemed as impossible task, particularly in developing country. Therefore, the feasibility of applying the reverse osmosis technology, particularly in the coastal area for drinking water is need further investigation. This paper aims to design and analyze the performance of small-scale desalination plant using combination of multi tray aerator, media filter, and multiple membranes consisting of ultrafiltration, brackish, and seawater membranes.Parameters used to verify the performance of small plant are salinity and total dissolved solid for membranes, while the parameters for examining the pre-treatment are Fe and Mn. The test results will be evaluated under the regulation of minister of health, Permenkes No. 32/2017. The influence of the pump pressure on the flow will also be analyzed.The result shows that the desalination plant can reduce the salinity concentration significantly from 10,200 ppm to 16 ppm, or 99.84%. The ratio of clean water to rejected water is 36%.  However, bacteria of E. Coli are still found in clean water, which is probably caused by biofouling.

Abstract

At least 17 compounds in kratom leaves (Mitragyna speciosa) are responsible for several pharmacological activities, one of which is antioxidant. This study examines antioxidant activity based on thermodynamic aspects in the form of HOMO-LUMO energy values, and kinetics in the form of predictions of radical quenching mechanisms. All compounds were optimized for geometry, and thermodynamic parameters were determined in the form of energy gap values (ΔE), ionization potential (IP), electron affinity (EA), hardness (η), electronic chemical potential (µ), softness (S), and electrophilicity index (Ω). The compounds that showed the most superior potential were then predicted for their radical quenching mechanisms by determining the values of bond dissociation energy (BDE), ionization potential (IP), proton dissociation enthalpy (PDE), proton affinity (PA), and electron transfer enthalpy (ETE). The results of the analysis of thermodynamic properties showed that three compounds had the most potential values, namely speciociliatine, 7-hydroxy mitragynine, and mitraphylline. The study of the radical scavenging mechanism of the three compounds shows that the compounds had antioxidant activity through the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mechanism.
