Abstract

The influences of plasticizer on the biodegradability of bioplastic film synthesized from starch obtained from jackfruit seeds with a help of Acetobacter xylinum were investigated. In this study, 1,4-butanediol and polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1000 were used as plasticizer. The biodegradation behavior of the resulted bioplastic films was characterized by calculating changes in their mass loss and rate of mass loss. The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was also conducted to analyze theirfunctional group. The results shows that all the bioplastic films were well biodegradated, where PEG 1000 with concentration of 0,5% and 1,0% can successfully improve the biodegradability of bioplastic film. Meanwhile, the used of 1,4-butanediol with concentration of 0,5% and 1,0% can increase and decrease the biodegradability of sample, respectively.

Abstract

The use of magnetic biochar to overcome aquatic environmental problem has received interesting attention in recent years. Several methods in preparing magnetic biochar have been applied including impregnation-pyrolysis, chemical co-precipitation, and reductive co-precipitation. In case of co-precipitation method, the obtained magnetic biochar is relatively stable and easy to handle, that make it important to study. The purpose of this work is to study the influence of mixing time and mass ratio of precursor on preparation of magnetic biochar using this method. The cassava peel (Manihot utilissima) was used as feedstock for biochar preparation. The magnetic biochar which is characterised using FTIR, XRD, and SEM-EDX analysis was successfully prepared and applied as an adsorbent for MB. The optimum mixing time of precursor was identified at 60 minutes and maximum mass ratio was achieved at 1:1 of biochar:Fe3O4. Importantly, it can be known that MB adsorption successfully improved with the increase of mixing time, up to the optimum adsorption capacity at 60 minutes of precursor mixing time. Furthermore, at the mass ratio of 1:1 magnetic biochar displayed the highest adsorption capacity. The parameter in preparation method developed in this work can be used as an additional information in the magnetic biochar preparation

Abstract

Biochar is an interesting adsorbent material due to its use is correlated with biomass waste utilization and also minimize environmental pollution from high amount of biomass by-product. Regarding to improve the biochar ability in water treatment, several surface modifications have been developed, one of them is modification using surfactant. In this study, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) was used to modify the surface of biochar prepared from pyrolysis of cassava peels (Manihot utilissima). Its performance in biochar modification to remove methylene blue (MB) dyes was compared with sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) surfactant for observing the important of – interactions mechanisms. The analysis of biochar and biochar-SDBS were conducted by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), CHNS elemental analysis, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Furthermore, the adsorption experiments were conducted using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. It is known that modification using SDBS could increase the adsorption capacity of biochar not only from electrostatic interaction but also through – interactions mechanisms. In this respect, as the amount of SDBS mass increased, the adsorption capacity was also improved due to the modification produced more active cites on biochar. The maximum MB adsorption onto biochar-SDBS occurred at adsorbent mass of 15 mg with optimum pH value of 10. Copyright © 2021 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract

The content of vitamin C information in carica fruit is very important because it can improvethe marketability of this fruit. The potential of Carica fruit as antioxidants agent hasn’t beenstudied by the researchers. It’s made Carica fruit are interesting to be studied, so theresearchers conducted this study to determine the vitamin C contain and the antioxidant activityof Carica fruit that grows in Wonosobo.This study was started by the preparation of the Carica fruit to obatined Carica fruitsolution. So that the total content of organic acids, ascorbic acid, and antioxidant activity ofCarica fruit solution could be analyzed. The organic acid content analysis of Carica fruit solutionwas performed by alkalimetric method. The ascorbic acid content analyses were performed byUV-Vis Spectrophotometry, and analysis of antioxidant activity were performed with DPPHmethod.The organic acids total concentration of Carica fruit solution was equal to 0,4 N. Theascorbic acid concentration of Carica fruit solution was 1560 ppm and The C50 value of Caricafruit obtained from sample solution by 118x dilution or equivalent to 17 gram of Carica fruit.
