Abstract

The study aims to utilize waste from manga fruit, especially seed shells, as raw material for chromium metal adsorbents in water. Utilizing this waste is one way to support the principle of zero waste for agricultural and plantation products. The biochar preparation process is carried out by pyrolysis, namely, burning in the absence of oxygen. To determine the adsorption capacity of biochar from mango seed shells for chromium ions, analysis was carried out by varying the biochar weight and chromium concentration. The results showed that at carbonisation temperatures of 350 oC, 400 oC, and 450 oC, the water content was 7.5 %, 6.4 %, and 6.2 %, respectively, while the ash content was 6.3 %, 5.9 %, and 5 %, respectively. 6 % respectively. The optimum biochar weight was determined using 20 mg, 40 mg, 60 mg, 80 mg, and 100 mg of biochar. In contrast, the optimum concentration was determined using biochar concentrations of 20 ppm, 40 ppm, 60 ppm, 80 ppm, and 100 ppm. The research results showed that the optimal weight of mango seed shell biochar at a biochar temperature of 450 °C was 100 mg, with a chromium absorption percentage of 92.96%. Meanwhile, the optimum concentration is 20 ppm across all biochars, with chromium absorption of 92.05% for the 450 °C biochar. Manga seed shells have economic value and environmental remediation applications, as they can be converted into adsorbents for chromium metal.

Abstract

Nickel is a very important metal. The nickel reserves in Indonesia are very large, but there is no dedicated process that uses only nickel ore as a raw material. The process of separating nickel from impurities is carried out by leaching with a sulfuric acid-nitric acid solution. The research design was developed using the Taguchi Larger-the-Better method to optimize nickel extraction. In the leaching stage, nickel is extracted from the ore by dissolving it in an acid medium. The variables examined in this study were the mixture ratio, temperature, and leaching time. The extracted filtrate was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The results of the Taguchi analysis showed that the optimal conditions for the leaching process were obtained with a mixture ratio of 2:1, a temperature of 60 °C, and a leaching time of 12 hours, yielding a concentration of 10.559 ppm and a recovery of 2.49%.

Abstract

Efficient recovery of valuable minerals from waste materials requires optimizing key processing parameters to maximize extraction efficiency and resource utilization. This research was conducted to determine the optimal extraction conditions, which were influenced by sulfuric acid concentration, temperature, and leaching time. This study used the Taguchi method with 3 factors and 3 levels: the concentration of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) at 0.5 M, 1 M, and 2 M; temperatures at 30 °C, 60 °C, and 95 °C; and leaching times of 3 hours, 6 hours, and 12 hours. The optimum conditions obtained from the study were a temperature of 95 °C, a leaching time of 6 hours, and an acid concentration of 2 M, with an absorbance of 0.6820. These results indicate that the Taguchi method is an efficient and reliable approach for optimizing leaching parameters, thereby contributing to the development of sustainable mineral recovery from waste materials.

Abstract

The papaya plant offers numerous benefits. Each part of the papaya plant has its benefits, starting from the fruit, stem, roots, flowers, and leaves. Livestock Medicine confirmed the presence of at least 22 types of bioactive compounds. The papaya plant contains active compounds that act as antioxidants, including flavonoids. This research aims to compare maceration and Soxhlet extraction methods on the flavonoid content of papaya (Carica papaya) leaf extract as measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The methods used to separate flavonoid levels are maceration and Soxhlet extraction. Based on the research that has been carried out, it was found that two treatments were carried out in the maceration method: the first treatment was with 70 % ethanol solvent, namely 36.6 mg / 100g or 3.66 %, for 96 % ethanol solvent, namely 77.6 mg / 100g or 7.76 %. Two treatments are also carried out in the Soxhlet method: 70% ethanol (33.6 mg/100g, 3.36%) and 96% ethanol (92.6 mg/100g, 9.26%). These results indicate that Soxhlet extraction is the most effective method for producing flavonoids in papaya leaf extract, as the levels obtained are higher than those obtained by maceration.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of the Tumpek Wariga-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model on students’ critical thinking and collaboration skills in science and social studies (IPAS) learning at SD Negeri Sumbersari. The study employed a quasi-experimental method using two research designs: a Pretest–Posttest Control Group Design for the critical thinking skills variable and a Static Group Comparison Design for the collaboration skills variable. The participants consisted of 17 students in the experimental group and 16 students in the control group. Critical thinking data were collected through a six-item essay test, while collaboration skills data were obtained through structured observations consisting of 12 indicators across five aspects. Data were analyzed using normality and homogeneity tests, paired samples t-test, Mann–Whitney U test, independent samples t-test, N-Gain analysis, and Cohen’s d effect size. The results revealed that the Tumpek Wariga-based PjBL model had a positive effect on students’ critical thinking skills, as indicated by an N-Gain score of 0.35 (moderate category) and an effect size of 0.38 (small category). The model also demonstrated a highly significant effect on collaboration skills, with the experimental group achieving an average score of 83.58% (very high category), significantly higher than that of the control group (51.56%), and an effect size of 5.402 (very large category). These findings suggest that the integration of local wisdom through the Tumpek Wariga-based PjBL model is effective in fostering elementary school students’ critical thinking and collaboration skills.
