Abstract

This research aims to synthesize tetracycline waste which pollutes the environment, can be overcome by a photocatalytic degradation process using a Fe3O4/Chitosan-PVA/TiO2 composite synthesized using the coprecipitation method. The Fe3O4/Chitosan-PVA/TiO2 composite was characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope- Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), Ultraviolet-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) and pHpzc. The crystallite size of 28.29 nm. The morphology of the composite shows a heterogeneous form with the constituent elements being C (7.69%), N (12.78), O (14.88%), Fe (63.33%) and Ti (1.29%). The saturation magnetization value of 64.24 emu/g is superparamagnetic with a band gap value of 1.38 eV and pHpzc at pH 6.8. The degradation process was studied by investigating the influence of several parameters, namely, solution pH, tetracycline concentration and irradiation time. The efficiency of tetracycline degradation by Fe3O4/Chitosan-PVA/TiO2 was 94.85% at pH 2, concentration of 15 mg/L and radiation time of 70 minutes. The results of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis in a 15 mg/L tetracycline solution before degradation were 20.3 mg/L and after degradation were 5.59 mg/L with a percent reduction in carbon content of 72.46%.

Abstract

Congo Red and Methylene Blue dye waste from the textile industry needs to be treated before being discharged into water bodies. Adsorption is widely recognized as an effective method of contaminant removal. The use of CaO as an adsorbent has the advantages of high kinetic speed, efficient, low cost, easily accessible, and abundant. To improve the performance of CaO, it is done by compositing CaO with Fe3O4 and SiO2. This study aims to synthesize a CaO/Fe3O4/SiO2 and apply it for the adsorption of Congo red and Methylene blue dyes. The synthesis of CaO/Fe3O4 uses the coprecipitation method and CaO/Fe3O4/SiO2 is synthesized using the Stober method by adding TEOS to CaO/Fe3O4. The results of XRD characterization show that the synthesized CaO, CaO/Fe3O4, and CaO/Fe3O4/SiO2 have the same 2θ angle as the reference diffractogram data. The addition of SiO2 was shown to prevent agglomeration, which was indicated by a decrease in the particle size of CaO/Fe3O4 from 70.07 to 52.42 nm in CaO/Fe3O4/SiO2. % Adsorption efficiency for Congo Red was 86.49% Methylene Blue was 99.12%. The adsorption process of both dyes was spontaneous, following a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Congo Red adsorption followed the Freundlich isotherm model, while Methylene Blue followed the Langmuir isotherm model.Keywords: CaO/Fe3O4/SiO2, adsorption, Congo red, Methylene blue

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan memberikan pelatihan kepada masyarakat, khususnya ibu-ibu dan remaja karang taruna di Desa Tanjung Seteko, Kecamatan Indralaya, Kabupaten Ogan Ilir tentang pembuatan salep herbal dari ekstrak daun Kembang bulan sebagai alternatif pengobatan infeksi kulit. Ekstrak daun Kembang bulan diketahui memiliki kandungan bioaktif yang bersifat antibakteri dan antioksidan. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian dilakukan melalui tiga tahapan, yaitu penyuluhan, pelatihan pembuatan salep, dan pengunaan untuk pengobatan serta evaluasi kegiatan. Khalayak sasaran sebanyak 30 orang. Secara umum, masyarakat telah memahami pentingnya menjaga kesehatan kulit, namun masih belum mengetahui pemanfaatan daun Kembang bulan sebagai bahan pengobatan alami. Setelah kegiatan, tingkat pemahaman peserta mengenai salep herbal dari ekstrak daun Kembang bulan meningkat dari 16,67% sebelum pretes menjadi 90 % setelah postes. Produk salep yang dihasilkan juga mendapatkan tanggapan positif dari peserta. Keberhasilan kegiatan ini turut meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat akan pentingnya memanfaatkan bahan alami yang aman dan ramah lingkungan sebagai alternatif pengobatan.
