Abstract

Coral reefs are classified as coral or coral limestone. These corals contain of a high level of calcium purity with more than 90%. These clacium are in the from calcite (CaCO3). Calcite can be used in the industrial sector wich can be processed into a catalyst and use as a mixture 0f portland cement.its economic value increases by converting CaCO3 to CaO trough the calcination process at high temperatures. The coral sampels were taken from the coastal area of Bayang, Dampelas Donggala wich consisted of 2 samples. i.e coastal and montain coral reefs. The CaO levevls contained in coral reefs wer determined by qualitative and quantitative analysis method using XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence). XRF result showed that were CaO compounds in each coral reef sample. The CaO level in the coastal reef was 92,08% before calcination and 92,11% after calcination. Whereas the CaO level in te mountain coastal reef was 94,51% before calcination and 96,77% after calcination.

Abstract

Metals has an important role for human life, especially in the industrial field. The purpose of this research is to find out the metal type and content in waste rock from the Poboya gold mine. The sampling technique is done by grabbing sampling, which is to take a lump of rock at a mining site. The analytical method used to determine the content and percentage of elements in rocks is XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) spectrophotometry. The analysis results show that the metals contained in the waste rock from Poboya gold mining are Silicon (Si), Iron (Fe), Potassium (K), Aluminium (Al), Calcium (Ca), Titanium (Ti), Arsenic (As), Zirconium (Zr), Manganese (Mn), Strontium (Sr), Barium (Ba), Rubidium (Rb), Zinc (Zn), Niobium (Nb), Indium (In), Tin (Sn) and Stibium/Antimony (Sb). The highest percentage metals are Silicon 52.98% and Iron 23.56%. Based on these results, the high content of silica oxide and iron oxide in waste rock from Poboya has the potential as a basis to be used for making nano materials, especially nano silica and ferromagnetic materials.

Abstract

Eugenol is a paleyellow oily liquid which can be extracted from essential oils such as clove and cinnamon oils. This study aimed to modify eugenol and to reduce environmental pollution caused by polymers by utilizing natural materials through polymerization of eugenol with concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) and media of acetic acid (CH3COOH). Various of acetic acid media used were 5%, 25%, and 50%. The result of polieugenol was blackish brown, in the form of shiny gels, smelling of cloves, and soluble in ethanol, slightly soluble in chloroform and insoluble in benzene and water. The product polieugenol was washed with aquades. The yields before washing were 142.75%, 141.25% and 138.75%, and the yield after washing were 88.265%, 88.397% and 87.248%. The Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) spectrophotometer results showed that the polymerization did not occur perfectly showing by absorption peaks of CH=CH2 and C = C groups at 995.27 and 1635.89 cm-1.

Abstract

It has been done a study on the determination of sodium (Na) and calcium (Ca) levels in seawater at Posona Village. The aims of this study were to determine the levels of sodium (Na) and calcium (Ca) in seawater in Posona village. The tools used were an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) and a flame photometer. Seawater samples were taken in the morning and afternoon in 3 distance points: 50 meters, 100 meters, and 150 meters from the edge of the land surface of the seashore. The level of sodium (Na) was measured at wavelengths of 589 nm while calcium (Ca) at a wavelength of 422.7 nm. The results of the study obtained the sodium levels in the morning samples with a distance of 50 m, 100 m, and 150 m amounted of 18.076 mg/L, 18.395 mg/L, and 18.715 mg/L. While the afternoon samples for the sodium (Na) levels was 18.475 mg/L, 18.742 mg/L, and 18.249 mg/L, respectively. The results of the analysis of calcium levels in the morning samples were 8.431 mg/L, 8.8 mg/L, and 7.661 mg/L, whereas in the afternoon for calcium (Ca) levels were 9.415 mg/L, 9.231 mg/L, and 7.692 mg L, respectively.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the antioxidant activity based on the effect of fermentation variation time of cocoa pulp kombucha drink (Theobroma cacao L.). The sample used in this study is cocoa pulp obtained from yellow cocoa pods the plantation in Sibualong Village, Balaesang District, Donggala Regency. DPPH method is used to see the reduction of free radical occurs caused by antioxidant compounds in fermented cocoa pulp kombucha drink. Antioxidant activity absorbances measured by UV/Vis will be calculated by regretion equation. The value obtained from the regretion equation shows the IC50 value, if the IC50 value is below 50 ppm it indicates a very strong antioxidant activity and if the IC50 value is above 200 ppm it indicates a very weak antioxidant activity. The study show, there to effect of fermentation variation time of the antioxidant activity which is identified by the increasing of IC50. The study shows, there to effect of fermentation variation time of the antioxidant activity which is identified by the increasing of IC50, with IC¬50 values 3rd, 10th and 14th days respectively are 29,387 ppm, 322,404 ppm, and 215,298 ppm. So the best fermentation time is 3 days which shows the IC50 value less than 50 ppm so that the antioxidant activity is included in the very good category.
