Abstract

One of the latest innovations in textile waste treatment is advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) methods using an oxidizing agent capable of producing sulfate radicals (SO4•). This study aims to determine the activity of the Mn/Carbon sphere catalyst in the oxidation process, reduce the dye content by using a combination of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and Mn/Carbon sphere catalyst as an oxidizing agent, and determine the optimum conditions in the process of reducing dye levels in the water. A hydrothermal process carried out the catalyst synthesis process to produce black carbon from D-glucose solution, then impregnated with variations of 3% and 5% of Mn metal. The degradation of methylene blue (artificial waste) of 25mg/L (1:10 dilution) was carried out for 120 minutes with variations in the catalyst mass of 0.001, 0.002, 0.003, and 0.004g and the mass of PMS 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, and 0, 04g in 100ml sample. Mn/Carbon sphere catalyst was able to activate PMS and was able to degrade methylene blue by 88.16%. The optimum condition for reducing the methylene blue levels in the water is at a concentration of 1g/L PMS and a Mn/Carbon sphere catalyst (5% Mn metal) 0.5g/L with an efficiency of 88.16%.

Abstract

Hydroxyapatite (HAp, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) is the most stable form of calcium phosphate and widely used in various medical applications, mainly in orthopedics and dentistry due to its close similarities with the inorganic mineral component of bone and teeth. This study aims to synthesize hydroxyapatite from duck eggshell using the precipitation method. The duck eggshell was calcined, hydrated (slaking) and underwent carbonation to form Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC).  Afterwards, (NH4)2HPO4 was added to produce HAp by varying the molar ratio of Ca/P by 1.67, 1.77 and 1.87 and stirring speed by 200, 250, 300rpm under basic condition (pH 10 – 11). The best results were obtained at a molar ratio of 1.77 with 200rpm stirring speed. Furthermore, the X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that its crystals were hexagonal with sizes of 23.062nm, in the absence of other crystalline phases. Therefore, the hydroxyapatite was obtained in the agglomerates form with a specific surface area of ??55.929m2/g.
