Abstract

This research studied kinetics of thermal degradation of polystyrene (PS), and sulfonated polustyrene (sPS) which were synthesized from styrofoam waste. The thermal study was conducted by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at various heating rate of 10, 15, 20 and 25 dpm. The kinetics parameters were determined by Coats Redfern (CR), Friedman (FM), Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) and Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW) models. TGA result found that PS has range thermal stability of 274 – 415 oC, but sPS has range thermal stability of 175 – 582 oC. Kinetic study to PS shows that the activation energy increases by the increasing of fraction conversion for all kinetics parameters with a regression value close to 1. While in sPS, the CR method shows an increase in activation energy value with an increasing fraction convertion. On the other hand, CR-FM-KAS and OFM methods obtained an increase in activation energy, then decreased at the fraction convertion above 0.6, and received negative activation energy. The kinetics model successfully explains the degradation of PS and sPS. In addition, the high thermal stability of sPS from styrofoam waste shows that this material has good potential as polymer electrolyte materials.

Abstract

Industrialization plays important role in the economy of developing countries, including increasing community welfare. However, the presence of poorly industries waste disposal system has negative impact to the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to overcome this problem with low-cost technology, called adsorption. In this research, silylated-montmorillonite (sMMt) has been successfully prepared as supporting material for adsorption of methylene blue by chitosan. The sMMt was characterized by FTIR, XRD, and elemental mapping techniques. The chitosan/sMMt composites were prepared through dissolution-precipitation method and produced rod-like morphology as observed by SEM. The adsorption process was carried out in a batch method by studying the pH and the adsorption contact time. The adsorption kinetic mechanism of the chitosan/sMMt nanocomposite followed pseudo-second order rather than Lagergren model indicating chemisorption predominant. The addition of silylated-montmorillonite into chitosan enhanced the methylene blue dye removal performance, which evidenced by improving Qe values by 10% compared to chitosan.

Abstract

Sintesis kopoli(Anetol-Stearil Akrilat-Divinilbenzena) atau KASA-DVB berhasil dilakukan melalui reaksi kopolimerisasi kationik menggunakan inisiator BF3O(C2H5)2 dan Stearil Akrilat (SA) dengan variasi 2, 4, dan 6 (b/b), pada jumlah anetol dan DVB tetap. Produk yang dihasilkan dikarakterisasi gugus fungsi, struktur, morfologi, viskositas intrinsik dan sifat termalnya berturut-turut menggunakan spektroskopi Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), scanning electron microscopy dengan energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), viskometer Ostwald dan analisis thermogravimetric-differential thermal-differential scanning calorimetry (TG/DTA-DSC). Uji kinerja adsorpsi senyawa dilakukan dengan metode batch dan konsentrasi adsorbat ditentukan dengan Spektrofotometer UV-Vis. Data FT-IR menunjukkan hilangnya serapan gugus alil dan vinil sementara data 1H-NMR menunjukkan hilangnya H-alil dan H-vinil yang mengindikasikan KASA-DVB berhasil disintesis. Penambahan konsentrasi SA dapat meningkatkan nilai viskositas intrinsik. Analisis morfologi KASA-DVB diperoleh padatan dengan permukaan yang relatif kasar dan jumlah rongga semakin sedikit. Analisis termogram TG/DTA-DSC menunjukkan penurunan sifat termal yaitu diperoleh titik inisiasi degradasi massa yang lebih rendah. Nilai kapasitas adsorpsi tertinggi diperoleh dari hasil uji kinerja adsorpsi pada waktu kontak ke-60 menit dan variasi berat SA 2%. Berdasarkan data kinerja adsorpsi, menunjukkan bahwa KASA-DVB memiliki potensi sebagai adsorben. Uji adsorpsi menunjukkan kapasitas adsorpsi terbesar adalah 23,22 (mg/g) pada KASA-DVB 2%. Synthesis of Copoly(Anethol-Styryl Acrylate-Divinylbenzene) as an Alternative Adsorbent Material. Synthesis of copoly(Anethole-Stearyl Acrylate-Divinylbenzene) or KASA-DVB was successfully carried out by a cationic copolymerization reaction using BF3O(C2H5)2 initiator and various concentrations of Stearyl Acrylate (SA) are 2, 4, and 6 wt. The resulting products were characterized by functional groups, structure, morphology, intrinsic viscosity, and thermal properties using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Ostwald Viscometer, and thermogravimetric-differential thermal-differential scanning calorimetry analysis (TG/DTA-DSC), respectively. The adsorption performance was analyzed using the batch method, and the adsorbate concentration was determined using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The FT-IR data showed loss of allyl and vinyl groups absorption, while 1H-NMR data showed loss of H-allyl and H-vinyl, indicating that KASA-DVB was successfully synthesized. The increase in SA concentration can increase the intrinsic viscosity value. Morphological analysis of KASA-DVB obtained solid materials with a relatively rough surface and fewer cavities. Thermogram analysis of TG/DTA-DSC showed a decrease in thermal properties, which was a lower mass degradation initiation point. The highest adsorption capacity was obtained from the adsorption performance with a contact time of 60 minutes and 2% SA weight variation. The adsorption performance data shows that KASA-DVB is potent as an adsorbent. The adsorption showed that the largest adsorption capacity was 23.22 (mg/g) on KASA-DVB 2%.

Abstract

Improving the performance of membranes appropriate for oil-in-water separation is a global challenge. In this study, we prepared a PVDF/Mordenite (PZM) membrane and determined its properties to separate oil-in-water emulsions to address this challenge. The PVDF and PZM membranes were fabricated using the phase inversion technique and applied to separate two types of oil-in-water emulsions 1:99 (wt%), including vegetable oil and used cooking oil emulsion. PVDF polymer with DMAc solvent was added to mordenite with a concentration variation of mordenite. The addition of mordenite did not affect the increase of the β fraction on the hybrid membrane surface but could improve the membrane hydrophilicity. The addition of mordenite in the PVDF membrane has improved the characteristics of the membrane, including water flux, rejection membrane >90%, and FRR up to two times greater than a pristine PVDF membrane. Morphological analysis of the membrane confirmed an asymmetric membrane composed of finger-like and sponge-like. Combining mordenite and PVDF membrane to separate oil-in-water emulsions provides a new approach to oil wastewater treatment.

Abstract

Industrial growth in Indonesia, especially the metal industry, has the potential to produce waste that can pollute the environment and hurt humans, animals, and plants. One of these pollutants is heavy metal cadmium (Cd). Besides that, cadmium is very toxic and will cause serious illness for humans. Bacillus sp. is a potential bacterium that can remove harmful substances so that it can be used for bioremediation. However, the ability of Bacillus sp. to absorb cadmium has not been reported. The research aims to study the effectiveness of optimal pH conditions in absorbing heavy metal cadmium. An adsorbent with composition andisol soil: bioball: Bacillus sp. 2:0:0; 1.5:1:4.3×105; 1:2:8.2×105; 0.5:3:1.21×106; and 0:4:1.58×106 (gr:piece:(cell/mL)) put into a beaker containing 100 mL of 6 ppm Cd solution with various pH 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The aerator was added at a constant speed for 60 minutes. After 60 minutes, the Cd content was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The combination of andisol, bioball, and Bacillus sp. can absorb cadmium at the optimum conditions of pH 5, with composition andisol: Bioball soil: Bacillus sp. 1.5:1:4.3×105 (g:piece:(cell/mL)), and contact time of 120 minutes with total removal of 75.6%.
