Abstract

Air merupakan kebutuhan dasar bagi manusia, kebutuhan akan air bersih terus meningkat seiring dengan pertumbuhan manusia. Jumlah air di bumi cenderung tetap, namun kualitas air terus menurun akibat pencemaran. Oleh sebab itu perlu adanya upaya pengolahan air menjadi air bersih sebelum di konsumsi. Semarang selatan merupakan sebuah kecamatan di Kota Semarang yang memiliki posisi strategis karena dekat dengan kota. Letak daerah yang berada pada daerah padat penduduk mengakibatkan sulitnya akses air bersih. Air yang diambil dari air sumur memiliki kualitas yang kurang bagus dimana air yang dihasilkan sedikit keruh dan berbauh amis. Selama ini warga berinisiatif menggunakan tawas sebagai bahan untuk menjernihkan air, namun residu tawas dalam air menyebabkan gangguan kesehatan pada tubuh. Oleh sebab itu, pengolahan menggunakan membran diterapkan untuk mengolah air tersebut menjadi lebih bersih. Teknologi membran tidak membutuhkan bahan kimia tambahan serta biaya operasi yang cukup murah. Kegiatan penyuluhan teknologi membran untuk mengolah air bersih telah dilakukan di Kelurahan Bulustalan Rt 02 RW 03 Kecamatan Semarang Selatan. Sebagai luaran dan juga hasil dari pengabdian ini, dibuatlah makalah/modul pelatihan perancangan filtrasi membran skala rumah tangga untuk mengolah air sumur tercemar menjadi air bersih yang layak konsumsi..

Abstract

Moringa oleifera leaves contain secondary metabolites in flavonoid compounds known to prevent several diseases. Therefore, appropriate extraction methods are required to produce extracts with a high yield of flavonoids from Moringa. In this study, the extraction from Moringa leaves was carried out using the sequential microwave/ultrasound-assisted extraction (MUAE) method compared with sequential ultrasound/microwave (UMAE), microwave (MAE), ultrasound (UAE), and maceration (ME). The effects of the time, temperature, and percentage of ethanol were studied on total flavonoid content using AlCl3 colorimetric assay. The extracts were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transforms Infrared Spectrophotometry (FTIR), and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The antioxidant and antibacterial activities were tested using DPPH-scavenging and disc diffusion methods. The results of SEM surface analysis on various extraction methods show differences on each surface. The FTIR spectrum showed the presence of flavonoid O–H at 3200 cm–1, C=O at 1621 cm–1, and C–O at 1019 cm–1. In the results of HPLC, MUAE extracts 16.70 mg/ 100 g flavonoid quercetin at the retention time of 4.5 min, with the highest total flavonoids (2.89 mg QE/g), the highest antioxidant activity (IC50 72.31 µg/mL), and highest antibacterial activity (S. aureus 7 mm, E. coli 2 mm).

Abstract

Logam berat adalah istilah untuk logam-logam seperti Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, dan Zn yang sering berhubungan dengan polusi dan toksisitas. Adsorpsi merupakan metode yang paling sering digunakan untuk menghilangkan ion logam. Tongkol jagung berpotensi menjadi adsorben karena kadar selulosanya yang tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji performa tongkol jagung sebagai adsorben ion Cr(VI) dan Cd(II). Penelitian dimulai dengan perlakuan awal adsorben dan dilanjutkan dengan proses adsorbsi. Kadar logam berat dihitung dengan metode spektrofotometri. Nilai efisiensi penyerapan Cd(II) meningkat dengan adanya perlakuan awal menggunakan suhu tinggi. Jumlah logam yang terserap semakin banyak seiring dengan lamanya waktu adsorpsi dengan efisiensi penyerapan sebesar 94,76% untuk Cr(VI) dan 83,96% untuk Cd(II). Penambahan jumlah adsorben tongkol jagung juga meningkatkan efisiensi penyerapan logam kromium hingga 82,33% dan kadmium sebesar 83,98%. Sedangkan jumlah ion Cr(VI) yang terserap tidak linear dengan penambahan kecepatan pengadukan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa tongkol jagung berpotensi digunakan sebagai adsorben ion logam berat dengan efisiensi di atas 80%.  Kata kunci: adsorpsi, kadmium, kromium, tongkol jagung AbstractHeavy metal is a term for metals such as Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn, often associated with pollution and toxicity.

Abstract

Chitosan is natural polysaccharides which is nontoxic, biodegradable, and biocompatible and have many advantages in various kinds of fields including health, food, agriculture, and industry. Chitosan usually take long time to extract by conventional method for deacetylation process of chitin. Raw material for chitosan can be found in shrimp shell waste. Chitosan manufactures usually need high temperatures and chemicals in large quantities and it takes much time and consumes a lot of energy where will give bad effect to the environment. Recently microwave irradiation as nonconventional energy sources is widely used in chemical reactions. To reduce the impact of environmental pollution due to excessive use of chemical treatment, the objective of this work is processing chitosan under microwave irradiation. Expected production of chitosan with the same mass requires fewer chemicals than conventional heating. In particular, the study will examine the effect of making the chitosan and adding chemicals, reaction time and operating temperature and degree of deacetylation in chitosan with conventional heating methods that the results will be compared using a microwave. In this research will be developed to the design and fabrication of prototype scale extractor for manufacturing chitosan from shrimp shell waste after optimum results obtained from the research laboratory scale. From the research we can conclude that microwave will speed up reaction time. FTIR also showed functional group of chitosan formed from microwave irradiation have same results.  Keywords: chitosan, shrimp shells, microwave

Abstract

This paper presents the effect of microwave and ultrasound irradiation on the enzymatic hydrolysis of water hyacinth biomass in the presence of surfactants. Prior to hydrolyzing, the water hyacinth was treated utilizing alkali with and without microwave assistance. It was revealed that the microwave improved the removal of lignin and hemicellulose. The treated water hyacinth biomass was also characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy. The effect of surfactant and the assistance of microwave and ultrasound were comprehensively studied. Some parameters varied, including stirring speed, surfactant type, concentration, and reaction time. The results indicated that microwave and ultrasound could enhance the reaction rate. Tween 80 here could improve conventional, microwave-assisted, and ultrasound-assisted hydrolysis of water hyacinth biomass. It was found that the ultrasound-assisted hydrolysis was better than that of others. The results of this research can be used as the groundwork for further developing the lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis process, especially in an advanced enzymatic hydrolysis process.

Abstract

Water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion is an effective technology for encapsulating bioactivity but has poor stability. This study aims to evaluate the effect of ultrasonication on the preparation of double emulsions with varying alginate/chitosan ratios (1:1, 1:2, 2:1) and sonication times between 0 and 7 minutes. The results showed that a sonication time of 7 minutes resulted in the best storage stability (0.00–1.02%) and thermal stability (17.13–23.21%), a significant decrease in droplet size (2.08–2.87 μm), and higher emulsion activity index (EAI) (16.11–38.10 m2/g) and emulsion stability index (ESI) (63.28–89.74 min) values. The alginate/chitosan ratio of 2:1 also gave the most optimal results with storage stability of 4.58%, thermal stability of 36.23%, droplet size of 2.08–4.14 μm, and EAI and ESI values of 16.12 m2/g and 48.42 min. The ultrasonic-assisted alginate/chitosan double emulsion method effectively improved the stability and bioavailability of bioactive and presents significant potential for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract

Alkaline Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (APEFCs) have emerged as a promising candidate for clean energy production. Anion exchange membrane (AEM) is an essential element of alkaline polymer electrolyte fuel cells for its role in facilitating hydroxide ion conduction. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a glutaraldehyde-based crosslinker solution on the performance of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) fabricated using quaternary ammonium poly (vinyl alcohol) (QPVA) as the backbone polymer and polyquaternium-7 as the second polymer. The introduction of a glutaraldehyde-based crosslinking agent was purposed to enhance membrane stability and reduce excessive swelling. The study evaluates the impact of varying glutaraldehyde concentrations on membrane performance. FTIR analysis confirms the presence of key functional groups of QPVA, polyquaternium-7, and the crosslinking agent. SEM images reveal that the membranes demonstrate dense and homogeneous physical structure. The results show that water uptake, swelling degree, ion exchange capacity (IEC), and hydroxide conductivity are influenced by the concentration of the glutaraldehyde solution. The QP-GA-13 AEM exhibited the best overall performance, achieving the highest tensile strength of 31.1 MPa and the highest hydroxide ion conductivity of 4.15 mS cm⁻¹ at 70°C. In single-cell tests, this membrane delivered a maximum power density of 85 mW cm⁻² and a current density of 350 mA cm⁻² at 80°C under humidified oxygen conditions.
