Abstract

Abstract: The mechanism study of the glycerol oligomerization reaction was performed to obtain the most possible diglycerol product based on its optimized energy. The mechanism study of the glycerol oligomerization reaction has been investigated regarding to SN2 type route with using HyperChem computer software, ab initio method, and 6-31G* basis set for all atom. Based on the computational calculation results, the energy level of the interaction between base catalyst (NaOH) with glycerol was similar in the α or β-anionic glycerol position (529.38kJ/mol). These results indicate the interaction of base catalyst (NaOH) with glycerol in the α or β-anionic glycerol position shows same possibility energetically favored. However, based on the computational calculation of diglycerol product, αα’-linear diglycerol more possible formed than αβ-branched diglycerol and ββ’-branched diglycerol due to its lowest energy (-0.19 kJ/mol). These results show that the fast attack of polarized glycerol to a carbon of a second glycerol will easier develop when the product is a αα'-linear diglycerol. The next step is formation of linear triglycerol from αα'-linear diglycerol which the difference of energy with glycerol is 6.83 kJ/mol. Keywords: ab initio, diglycerol, HyperChem, oligomerization

Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate the possible reaction mechanism steps in the formation of acetal from 2-chlorobenzaldehyde substrate. Asetal is a chemical compound that attracts the attention of the researchers because it has advantage in various fields of life. This study was conducted using Hyperchem software (OS Window’s) with the ab initio method using a 6-31G* basis set. In this study, the 3-21G basis set was also used as a comparison. The calculations were performed for each steps of the reaction mechanism including the substrate, the formation of hemiacetal intermediate, and the formation of acetal products. Based on the results of computational calculations, the acetalization of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde reaction can occur in the presence of an HCl catalyst. The HCl catalyst serves as an acid catalyst where hydrogen ions will be protonated by the substrate and hemiacetal. Hemiacetal compounds based on calculations have the highest formation energy compared to the benzaldehyde substrate and acetal products. This is because hemiacetal has a low stability and is easily transformed into other compounds. Keywords: Ab initio; 2-chlorobenzaldehyde; acetal

Abstract

Abstract- The aim of this research was to compare whether polyglycerol (PG) acrylic plasticizer is more compatible and has good thermal stability than PG acetate plasticizer or even DOP plasticizer. PG acrylic plasticizer producted from polymerization of glycerol and then esterification with acrylic acid and can used as a plasticizer for PVC. Based on tensile strength and elongation analysis can be concluded that PG acrylic-DOP plasticizer (tensile strength 37.33 MPa and elongation 277.2%) is more compatible for PVC than DOP plasticizer (tensile strength 5.4 MPa and elongation 230.33%) and PG acrylic plasticizer (tensile strength 18.67 MPa and elongation 89.7%). PG acrylic-DOP plasticizer also more compatible than PG acetate plasticizer for PVC. According to DTA analysis can be concluded that PG acrylic plasticizer has thermal stability alike with PG acrylic – DOP plasticizer in PVC matrix and better compared with DOP plasticizer. This can be proven by the increase of decomposition (exoterm) temperature PG –acrylic plasticizer in PVC (from 490 oC to 500 oC) alike with PG acrylic-DOP plasticizer (constant 490 oC) andhigher than DOP plastcizer (from 490 oC to 400 oC). According to tensile strength, elongation and DTA analysis can be concluded PG acrylic-DOP plasticizer is a better plasticizer in PVC matrix than PG acrylic, PG asetate, and DOP plasticizer.   Keyword: polyglycerol acrylic, PVC, compatibility, and DTA

Abstract

Salah satu pengaruh dari berkembangnya teknologi dan ilmu pengetahuan adalah munculnya bidang kimia baru yaitu kimia komputasi. Kimia komputasi adalah penggabungan antara unsur eksperimental dengan teori dalam suatu sistem kimia menggunakan perangkat komputer. Pada penelitian ini, digunakan software Hyperchem 8.0 (windows) dengan metode semi-empiris PM3 untuk menghitung celah energi senyawa kompleks bis(benzoiltrifluoroaseton)zirkonium (bis(btfa)2Zr). Selain itu, dilakukan juga analisis spektrum ultraviolet (UV) pada senyawa kompleks tersebut untuk menentukan panjang gelombang maksimumnya. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan, diperoleh celah energi ligan btfa lebih besar dibandingkan senyawa kompleks bis(btfa)2Zr. Sebaliknya, berdasarkan analisis UV diperoleh panjang gelombang maksimum kompleks bis(btfa)2Zr lebih panjang dibandingkan ligan btfa. Hasil data ini menunjukkan bahwa celah energi senyawa kompleks bis(btfa)2Zr berbanding terbalik dengan panjang gelombang maksimumnya.

Abstract

TThe bis(benzoylacetone)zirconium (bis(bzac)2Zr) complex compound has been used as a catalyst in various chemical reactions. The aim of this study was to compare the band gap and maximum wavelength of the bis(bzac)2Zr complex with its ligands. The software used is HyperChem 8.0. Calculations begin by optimizing complex compounds. After that, the HOMO-LUMO energy is calculated so that the band gap is obtained. Meanwhile, the calculation of the maximum wavelength is carried out based on UV calculations by using the singly excited method. The addition of Zr atoms to the ligand is expected to reduce the band gap of the complex. On the other hand, the maximum wavelength of the resulting complex is expected to be higher than that of the ligand. Based on the calculation results, the band gap of the complex compounds is 6.128 eV, while the maximum wavelength produced is 383.54 nm. The band gap of the ligand is larger than that of the complex, which is 9.031 eV, while the maximum wavelength of the ligand is 261.25 nm.Keywords: Bis(benzoylacetone)zirconium; Band gap; Complex; Wavelength

Abstract

Program pengabdian kemitraan masyarakat (PKM) ini bertujuan untuk melakukan pendampingan kepada mitra dengan memanfaatkan buah nanas sebagai bahan fermentasi untuk memperbaiki mutu aroma dan cita rasa kopi. Hal ini dilakukan berdasarkan hasil observasi awal yang dilakukan oleh tim pengusul yaitu : 1) Proses pengeringan kopi yang tidak seragam, dan 2) Mutu aroma dan cita rasa yang masih kurang bagus. Penyebabnya karena bahan kopi robusta yang dibeli ke petani memiliki tingkat mutu yang berbeda. Dampaknya, harga kopi menjadi rendah. Mitra PKM ini adalah Usaha Pucako Roastery di Kelurahan Amplas, Kota Medan. Metode pelaksanaan PKM ini dilakukan melalui dua tahapan utama yaitu: 1) Pembuatan bubur buah nanas, dan 2) Fermentase kopi menggunakan bubur nanas. Melalui PKM ini diharapkan terjadi perbaikan mutu aroma dan cita rasa kopi serta dapat meningkatkan penjualan mitra. Adanya enzim bromelin pada bubur nanas akan dapat menurunkan kadar kafein karena enzim ini mampu memecahkan senyawa yang mirip protein pada kopi.

Abstract

Although polystyrene (PS) finds widespread use in household applications, its non-biodegradable nature raises concerns about its environmental impact. Therefore, modifying PS by blending it with a biodegradable polymer such as poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) is essential. This study focuses on investigating the functional groups and structural characteristics of PS/PCL blends. In this study, we produce polyblend using the solvent casting method. On the other hand, the PCL employed in this study was synthesized using the bis(dibenzoylmethanato)zirconium(IV)chloride (bis(dibzm)2Zr) catalyst. Next, the FTIR analysis indicates a Van Der Wall’s interaction between PS and PCL. Therefore, we did not find any absorption of new functional groups outside of the PS and PCL functional groups. Next, the XRD analysis revealed that polyblend has a more crystalline structure than PS. Meanwhile, PCL has a more crystalline structure than PS/PCL polyblend and pure PS.
