Abstract

Diazinon pesticide pollution aquatic environments serious problem due to its toxic, persistent, and difficult to degrade naturally. One potentially effective approach decompose this compound is the photocatalytic process, which is capable of forming reactive oxidative radicals under light exposure. This study aims evaluate the performance calcium oxide (CaO) derived from eggshell waste photocatalyst in the diazinon photodegradation process using visible light source. The CaO material was prepared through calcination process and then characterized using SEM, FTIR, and UV-Vis to determine surface structure, functional groups, and band gap values that support its photocatalytic activity. The CaO material was prepared through calcination process and then characterized using SEM, FTIR, and UV-Vis to determine the surface structure, functional groups, and band gap values that support photocatalytic activity. The optimum conditions were achieved neutral pH, low initial concentration, and 100 watts of light power with the highest degradation efficiency 49.65%. Kinetic analysis showed the process follows pseudo-first-order model with good agreement with the experimental data. Overall, the results of this study demonstrate that CaO from eggshells has the potential to be used effective, economical, and environmentally friendly photocatalyst in the photodegradation diazinon under visible light exposure, thus becoming alternative technology for pesticide waste treatment.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji efektivitas proses adsorpsi ion nitrit (NO₂⁻) dengan memanfaatkan activated carbon serta activated carbon yang telah dimodifikasi menggunakan surfaktan cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Activated carbon dikenal memiliki struktur berpori dan luas permukaan yang tinggi, menjadikannya adsorben potensial dalam pengolahan air. CTAB, merupakan sebuah surfaktan kationik yang memiliki gugus kepala hidrofilik dan ekor hidrofobik, digunakan dalam modifikasi ini untuk meningkatkan afinitas permukaan activated carbon terhadap ion nitrit melalui perubahan karakteristik permukaan menjadi lebih elektropositif dan hidrofilik. Hasil eksperimen menunjukkan bahwa kondisi optimal untuk activated carbon terjadi pada pH 2 dan waktu kontak selama 60 menit, sementara activated carbon termodifikasi menunjukkan efisiensi maksimum pada pH 6. Kajian kinetika adsorpsi memperlihatkan bahwa model pseudo-orde dua paling sesuai untuk menggambarkan mekanisme interaksi antara adsorben dan adsorbat, menunjukkan adanya proses kimisorpsi. Modifikasi permukaan activated carbon dengan CTAB terbukti meningkatkan kapasitas adsorpsi melalui penguatan interaksi elektrostatik, sehingga berpotensi besar sebagai solusi alternatif dalam pengolahan limbah cair yang terkontaminasi ion NO₂⁻.

Abstract

The esterification of acetic acid with ethanol to produce ethyl acetate is an important reaction widely applied in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. However, this process often results in low conversion when performed without an efficient catalyst, as the reaction is reversible and limited by equilibrium. Therefore, developing a stable and active heterogeneous catalyst is essential to enhance the reaction rate and product yield. This study aims to improve the catalytic performance of natural zeolite through modification with cobalt chloride (CoCl₂) using the wet impregnation method to introduce additional active sites and strengthen surface acidity. The modified cobalt-zeolite catalyst was evaluated in the esterification of acetic acid and ethanol at a temperature of 70 °C under various catalyst loadings ranging from 0,25 to 2 grams and reaction times from 15 to 120 minutes. The catalytic performance was analyzed based on acetic acid conversion obtained from titration analysis. The results showed that cobalt impregnation significantly increased catalytic activity compared to both pure and acid-activated zeolites. The optimum condition was achieved using 1 gram of catalyst with a reaction time of 30 minutes, yielding a maximum acetic acid conversion of 92.24 percent. The enhancement in activity is attributed to the formation of new Lewis acid sites and the increased surface acidity caused by cobalt incorporation into the zeolite framework, which facilitates stronger interactions between the catalyst and reactant molecules. The cobalt-modified zeolite exhibited higher structural stability and superior catalytic efficiency, demonstrating that cobalt acts not only as an active site but also as a structural and acidity modifier. In conclusion, cobalt-modified natural zeolite shows great potential as an effective heterogeneous catalyst for ethyl acetate synthesis. Future work is recommended to investigate the reusability, regeneration capability, and long-term stability of the catalyst for continuous and industrial-scale esterification applications.
