Abstract

This study describes the co-precipitation synthesis of magnetic bentonite-Fe3O4 for photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and Congo red pigments under visible light. Bentonite-Fe3O4 composites were produced using the mass ratio of 2:1 and 1:1 for bentonite to Fe3O4, respectively. X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), BET surface area, Vibrating-Sample Magnetometer (VSM), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Ultraviolet–Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV DRS) were used to characterize the materials. The bentonite-Fe3O4 (1:1) composite exhibited a greater surface area in comparison to the bentonite-Fe3O4 (2:1) composite with a measured value of 106.6 m2/g. It is a superparamagnetic material with a band gap of 2.25 eV and a saturation magnetization of 69.64 emu/g. The photocatalytic degradation of dye using bentonite-Fe3O4 (1:1) with the initial dye concentration of 25 mg/L, volume of 50 mL, catalyst dose of 0.05 g/L, addition of 3 mL H2O2, and 90 minutes of visible irradiation resulted in 94.34% and 98.45% degradation efficiency of methylene blue and Congo red dyes, respectively. The study determined that the most favorable pH for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue was pH 11, whereas the optimal pH for Congo red was found at pH 5. For methylene blue and Congo red dyes, photocatalytic degradation followed pseudo-first-order with the constant rates of 0.0356 min-1 and 0.0348 min-1, respectively. After five cycles of use in the photocatalytic process, the catalyst's degradation efficiency fell into below 5%. This research demonstrated that catalysts could be utilized in wastewater treatment technology.

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize bentonite/PDA/Fe3O4@CuO composites as a catalyst for the photodegradation of Methylene blue dye. Composite characterization involves X-ray Diffractometry (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with X-ray Energy Dispersion Spectrometry (EDS), UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). Response Surface Methodology (RSM) employs Central Composite Design (CCD) to optimize photodegradation by varying dye concentration, irradiation time, and catalyst dose. The bentonite/PDA/Fe3O4@CuO composites exhibit a saturation magnetization value of 54.82 emu/g and a band gap of 2.1 eV. The optimization revealed that concentration and dose significantly impact the photodegradation efficiency. A quadratic model is suitable for modeling the photodegradation of Methylene blue dye using bentonite/PDA/Fe3O4@CuO composites, as determined by analysis of variance (ANOVA). The optimal conditions for achieving maximum photodegradation efficiency were identified as a dye concentration of 10 mg/L, an exposure time of 90 min, and a catalyst dose of 1.67 g/L. Under these parameters, the photodegradation process exhibited a remarkable efficiency of 100%. The Bentonite/PDA/Fe3O4@CuO composites exhibited strong stability, efficiency, and recyclability. After six photodegradation cycles, there was a 5.18% decrease in photodegradation efficiency. Copyright © 2024 by Authors, Published by BCREC Publishing Group.

Abstract

In order to improve the adsorption performance of CaO prepared from duck egg shells, a 1:1 composite of CaO/Fe3O4 were synthesized using a coprecipitation method. This composite was then used to adsorb Congo red and Procion red MX-5b dyes from an aqueous solution. The adsorption process was studied by investigating the effects of contact time, temperature, and initial concentration of dye. It was found that the optimum conditions for Congo red adsorption are 50 minutes of contact, 50 °C, and 225 mg/L of dye, while for Procion red MX-5b the conditions are 50 minutes of contact, 60 °C, and 250 mg/L of dye. The behavior of both adsorbents at equilibria follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm, with the adsorption capacity at optimum condition for Congo red and Procion red MX-5b 46.95 mg/g and 47.39 mg/g, respectively. Thermodynamics studies showed that the adsorption process of Congo red was endothermic, while Procion red MX-5b was exothermic, yet both were found to happen spontaneously.

Abstract

The availability of clean water is an essential element for supporting the life cycle and sustainable development. The efficiency of providing raw water sources is an important factor for adequate water quantity and quality. This study examines the effectiveness of alum compared with coal-based activated carbon in the removal of Fe, Mn, and turbidity in raw water from the Lematang River, Muara Enim Regency. Activated carbon in this study was produced using a KOH activator with varying activation temperatures (700 °C, 800 °C, and 900 °C). The research results showed that the quality of the third activated carbon met the active carbon quality standards (moisture, ash content, Methylene blue dye and iodine adsorption capacity), but the activated carbon with activation at a temperature of 800 °C had the largest surface area. Activated carbon was proven more effective in reducing Fe and Mn concentrations than alum, while alum was superior in reducing turbidity. After three cycles of activated carbon regeneration, the reduction in Fe and Mn remained below 5%. These results show that activated carbon is a cost-effective and eco-friendly option for raw water treatment.Keywords: Coal, activated carbon, alum, raw water, regeneration

Abstract

This study aimed to optimize the production of Manganese Peroxidase (MnP) enzyme from Pleurotus ostreatus using agricultural waste substrates such as coffee grounds (CG) and rice bran (RB) through Response Surface Methodology (RSM) approach. Optimization was conducted using a Central Composite Design (CCD) with three main variables, namely MnSO₄ concentration (0.5-1.5) mM, incubation temperature (25-35) °C, and reaction time (20-30) min. The enzyme fractionation process was carried out by ammonium sulfate saturation (0-20%), (20-40%), (40-60%), followed by dialysis, and SDS-PAGE analysis. The results showed that the 0-20% fraction of CG:RB (50:50) substrate had the highest enzyme activity, which was 20.588 ± 0.141 U/mL, with the highest specific activity of 76.967 ± 0.325 U/mg. The highest protein content was found in CG:RB (0:100) substrate at 0.825 ± 0.016 mg/mL. However, the enzyme activity was lower due to the presence of non-enzymatic proteins and natural inhibitors. This study successfully demonstrated that the substrate combination of CG:RB (50:50) provided optimal results for MnP production. The Response Surface Methodology proved effective in optimizing process variables, providing great potential for biotechnology applications using agricultural waste as an environmentally friendly raw material.Keywords: Pleurotus ostreatus, Manganese Peroxidase, Coffee Dregs, Rice Bran, RSM, SDS-PAGE

Abstract

This study aims to fabricate a NiFe2O4/SiO2/TiO2 magnetic composite to serve as a photocatalyst for the degradation of Congo red dye. The catalyst characterization involved XRD, FTIR, UV-vis DRS, BET, VSM, SEM-EDS, and pHpzc analyses. The performance in degradation was determined by the effect of various variables, including solution pH, dye concentration, and irradiation time. Results revealed that the NiFe2O4/SiO2/TiO2 composite exhibited a crystallite size of 24.56 nm and a bandgap of 2.1 eV. The surface area of NiFe2O4/SiO2/TiO2 was measured at 154 m2/g, exceeding that of NiFe2O4/SiO2 and NiFe2O4, which were observed at 122 and 51 m2/g, respectively. NiFe2O4/SiO2/TiO2 exhibited magnetic properties with a magnetic saturation of 18.55 emu/g. Under optimal conditions (pH 5, initial dye concentration of 20 mg/L, and 90 min of visible irradiation), the degradation efficiency reached 96.86%. It was concluded that the photodegradation was effective, as its efficiency decreased from 96.86 to 92.45% after five reuse cycles. The presence of mineralization was evaluated using total organic carbon analysis, which revealed an 84.60% reduction in carbon content.

Abstract

This study aims to perform green synthesis of Ag/CeO2 nanocomposites using noni leaf extract and to test their potential antibacterial activity. The synthesis results were characterised using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) to determine crystallite size, Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) to observe morphology and elemental composition, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify functional groups. The XRD characterization results showed the formation of typical Ag/CeO2 peaks with an average crystallite size of 15,28 nm. SEM analysis revealed morphology in the form of aggregates with varying sizes. EDX results confirmed the presence of Ag, Ce, and O elements. FTIR analysis showed the presence of typical Ce–O group absorption bands, which supports the successful synthesis of Ag/CeO2. The synthesized nanocomposites were then tested for their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Antibacterial activity tests showed the formation of an 8 mm zone of inhibition (ZOI) at a concentration of 5000 ppm, demonstrating the potential of the synthesized green Ag/CeO2 as an antibacterial agent. This study confirms that the use of noni leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent is an environmentally friendly approach and has potential for environmental applications.

Abstract

The economical, easy-to-implement, and regenerative treatment methods are essential to obtain clean water. In this study, activated carbon was synthesized from palm kernel shells using ZnCl₂ as an activator. The activated carbon was then modified with Fe₃O₄. The resulting activated carbon and activated carbon-Fe₃O₄ product were characterized using XRD, SEM-EDX, VSM, and BET surface area analysis. Furthermore, activated carbon-Fe3O4 was applied to reduce Fe ions, turbidity, and total suspended solids (TSS) and increase the pH value in Enim river water. The resulting activated carbon has met SNI standards, with a moisture content of 8.81%, ash content of 5.475%, and an iodine adsorption capacity of 1763.86 mg/L. The synthesized activated carbon-Fe₃O₄ exhibits strong magnetic properties, with a saturation magnetization value of 68.82 emu/g and a surface area of 355.42 m²/g. Optimal conditions for the treatment of Enim river water were obtained at an adsorbent dose of 40 mg/L, a stirring rate of 120 rpm, and a stirring time of 120 minutes. Under these conditions, the Fe ion reduction efficiency reached 96.95%, turbidity 89.83%, and TSS 80.74%, while the pH increased from 6.23 to 6.74. FTIR analysis showed a change in peak intensity in the activated carbon-Fe₃O₄ after the adsorption process, indicating interaction with contaminants. The adsorption process of Fe ions by activated carbon-Fe₃O₄ follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model.
