Abstract

The increasing accumulation of household organic waste, particularly leaf waste, poses environmental challenges due to limited optimal management and low added value utilization. Leaf waste have potential to be converted into organic fertilizer; however, natural decomposition is slow and often produces compost with inconsistent chemical quality. This study aims to evaluate the organic and inorganic compound content of solid organic fertilizer produced through an integrated approach combining mechanical shredding, bacterial fermentation, and vermicomposting. The research method involved shredding leaf waste using a rotary cutter shredder, followed by bacterial fermentation using activated effective microorganism and subsequent vermicomposting employing Pheretima posthuma. Compost quality was assessed based on physical parameters (temperature, odor, and color) and chemical parameters in accordance with SNI 19-7030-2004. The results showed that the compost reached a relatively mature condition, indicated by stable temperature, earthy odor, and dark brown color at the end of the process. Most chemical parameters met the SNI requirements, particularly phosphorus (P₂O₅) and potassium (K₂O), while heavy metal contents such as Pb and As were not detected and other metals remained well below permissible limits, suggesting the role of earthworm activity in reducing metal bioavailability. However, C-organic content and C/N ratio were slightly below and above the standard range, respectively. Overall, the integrated fermentation–vermicomposting approach demonstrates strong potential as sustainable technology for converting leaf waste into environmentally friendly organic fertilizer. However, further process optimization is required to improve the chemical quality of the product and to enhance the worm separation system for more efficient processing.

Abstract

This study aimed to extract carrageenan from the red seaweed Eucheuma cottonii using potassium hydroxide (KOH) as solvent with the sonication method. Extraction was performed at 80°C for 60 minutes with a seaweed-to-solvent ratio of 1:30 (w/v) at an ultrasonic frequency of 40 kHz. The optimized extraction conditions yielded a carrageenan yield of 21.08%. Quality parameters evaluated included moisture content, ash content, viscosity, and gel strength. Moisture content (0.07%), ash content (0.37%), and viscosity (34.2 cP) all met FCC and FAO standards. However, the gel strength of 14.361 g/cm² did not meet the commercial standard.

Abstract

The ideal quality of lubricant can be obtained by adding additives. One of the functions of additives in lubricants is to maintain viscosity against temperature changes. Dithiocarbamate complexes with heavy metals have very low solubility in water so that dithiocarbamate compounds have great potential as additives in lubricants. This research was conducted in an effort to determine the effect of temperature (40 oC and 100 oC) on the viscosity of the lubricant and metal ions (Mn2+, Fe3+, Co2+) in the synthesis of dithiocarbamate complex compounds on their potential as additives in lubricants. This compound was synthesized by in situ method and to measure and compare the viscosity of the lubricant before and after the addition of the complex compound as an additive.The results showed that complex compounds from N-ethylisopropylditiocarbamate ligands could be synthesized with metal ions Mn(II), Fe(III) and Co(II). Where is the synthesis of complex compounds obtained yields Mn(II)-N-ethylisopropylditiocarbamate amounted to 49.59%, Fe(III)-N-Ethylisopropyldithiocarbamate of 41.81%,and Co(II)-N-Etilisopropil ditiocarbamate by64.12%.From the results of the characterization of the viscosity test, it can be seen that temperature and metal ions in complex compounds affect their potential effectiveness as additives in lubricants. Of the three complex compounds it is more effective at 100 oC than 40 oC, where metal ions Mn (II) are more effective than Fe(III) and Co (II). Keywords: Lubricants, additives, metal ions, temperature, dithiocarbamate.
