Abstract

Fly ash and bottom ash (FABA) generated from coal combustion in steam power plants have the potential to cause environmental contamination; however, their mineral content enables their reutilization as raw materials for inorganic fertilizers. This study aimed to evaluate the major metal element content in FABA-based fertilizer produced from the Anggrek Steam Power Plant, North Gorontalo Regency, in order to assess its potential as a nutrient source. Ca and Mg were analyzed using titration methods, while Al, Fe, P, and K were determined by UV–Vis spectrophotometry with good calibration curve linearity (r 0.97). The results showed that the K content in fertilizer samples 1 and 2 was 0.0189% and 0.0140%, respectively. Ca concentrations ranged from 16.8–21.6 mg/L and Mg from 7.29–10.21 mg/L. Al was detected within the range of 3.68–4.44 ppm, while Fe and P were identified in measurable amounts. The presence of Ca, Mg, and K as macronutrients indicates that FABA waste has potential as a raw material for inorganic fertilizer, while also supporting sustainable industrial waste management practices.

Abstract

The total synthesis of the linear peptide LSAVTPG was successfully carried out using the solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) method. The synthesis employed the Fmoc/tBu protection strategy on a 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin as the solid support. Following chain assembly, the final peptide was cleaved from the resin using 95% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), affording the target peptide with a yield of 81.6%. Structural confirmation was performed by high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), which showed an observed ion at m/z 644.3621, consistent with the calculated value of m/z 644.3619 for C₂₈H₅₀N₇O₁₀. Purity and retention characteristics were further analyzed using analytical HPLC, where the peptide exhibited a retention time of 13.536 minutes. These results demonstrate that the SPPS method with Fmoc/tBu chemistry is an efficient strategy for the synthesis of the LSAVTPG peptide with high yield and analytical confirmation. The potential bioactivity screened computationally and showed some potential such as spanning oncology, cardiometabolic regulation, neurodegeneration, immunology, and inflammation.

Abstract

Water sampling skills are essential competencies for chemistry students because the accuracy of sampling procedures determines the representativeness and reliability of water quality analysis data. However, students still have limited understanding of sampling-point selection, the use of sampling equipment and containers, labeling, preservation, and field measurement of water quality parameters. This community service activity aimed to strengthen students’ competence in water sampling through a learning-by-doing approach. The program employed educational and training methods, including theoretical instruction, equipment demonstrations, field practice, discussion, and evaluation using pretest and posttest instruments. The evaluation covered four indicators: basic principles of water quality and monitoring, sampling-point selection and procedures, equipment use, labeling and sample preservation, and measurement of pH, temperature, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen. The evaluation results showed that the students’ average understanding increased from 58.75% before the training to 84.00% after the training, representing an increase of 25.25%. The highest improvement was found in equipment use, labeling, and sample preservation, with an increase of 27%. Descriptively, these findings indicate that the learning-by-doing approach strengthened students’ understanding and practical skills in water sampling and handling. Similar training should be continued through periodic practice and the development of a student-based water quality monitoring group.
