Abstract

The textile industry in the world keeps increasing, but it harms environmental pollution caused by textile dye waste. Synthetic dyes contain carcinogenic and mutagenic ingredients that can demage the environment and aquatic biota. The alternative to handling dye pollution with a low-cost method is adsorption using nitric acid-activated coconut fiber. Coconut fiber was an abundant agricultural waste and economical, and it had an active site that contained many compounds such as cellulose, lignin, pyroligneous acid, and tannin molecules. This study used the UV-Vis Spectrophotometer analysis method to determine the effect of pH, contact time, and coconut fiber on the adsorption capacity of methylene blue. The result showed that the optimal conditions for adsorption were a pH of 5, a contact time of 75 minutes, and a percentage adsorption of the variation of contact time of 99.628%. The adsorption study was according to a pseudo-second-order reaction with a constant reaction rate of 0.050 g mg-1 minute-1. The maximum adsorption capacity was 2 mg g-1, with the percentage of methylene blue adsorbed at 99.84%. Adsorption occurs chemically with an energy of 35.4 kJ mol-1, so it can be determined that it occurs with a monolayer mechanism.

Abstract

[Pigments of Purple Sweet Potato and Turmeric Rhizome: Eco-Friendly and Cheap Indicators for Acid-Base Titration Experiment] Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengkaji karakter pigmen umbi ubi jalar ungu (PUUJU) dan pigmen rimpang kunyit (PRK) pada larutan uji dan penggunaannya sebagai indikator titrasi asam basa dibandingkan dengan indikator fenolftalein. PRK diekstraksi dengan pelarut etanol sedangkan PUUJU diekstraksi dengan pelarut etanol dalam suasana asam. PUUJU dan PRK diuji karakter perubahan warnanya dan digunakan sebagai indikator titrasi HCl-NaOH dan CH3COOH-NaOH. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan PUUJU berwarna merah pada pH 1, pink pada pH 2-6, ungu pada pH 7, biru pada pH 8-9, hijau pada pH 10-11 dan kuning pada pH 12-14. PRK menunjukkan warna kuning pada pH 1-7, merah bata pudar pada pH 8 dan semakin pekat seiring naiknya nilai pH larutan. Kedua pigmen ini mampu menunjukkan perubahan warna yang jelas pada titik akhir titrasi layaknya indikator fenolftalien. Diperoleh konsentrasi HCl pada titrasi menggunakan indikator PP, PUUJU dan PRK berturut-turut adalah 0,1031 M, 0,1045 M dan 0,1025 M sedangkan konsentrasi CH3COOH berturut-turut adalah 0,0876 M, 0,0869 M dan 0,0853 M. Berdasarkan data-data ini, PUUJU dan PRK dapat digunakan sebagai indikator titrasi HCl-NaOH dan CH3COOOH-NaOH dalam praktikum kimia di kelas.

Abstract

Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes) merupakan suatu badan usaha berbadan hukum, yang bertujuan untuk dapat meningkatkan perekonomian desa khususnya untuk peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Kegiatan penguatan kapasitas pengelolaan BUMDes dan sharing pengalaman pengelolaannya dalam kegiatan pengabdian pada masyarakat ini, bertujuan untuk dapat memberikan pengetahuan dan pengalaman baru bagi masyarakat. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di Desa Pariti, Kecamatan Sulamu, Kabupaten Kupang. Kegiatan ini diikuti oleh 20 oang peserta diantaranya Pemerintah Desa, pengurus BUMDes Gempar dan tokoh masyarakat. Metode pelaksanaan berupa sosialisasi melalui ceramah dan diskusi, sharing pengalaman dengan Kepala Desa Hadakewa serta hasil tes kemampuan (pre test dan post test). Kesimpulan dari hasil kegiatan ini yaitu terdapat peningkatan kemampuan terhadap substansi dan sistem tata kelola BUMDes. Kedepannya kegiatan ini dapat dilanjutkan dengan menghadirkan narasumber-narasumber yang telah sukses mengelola BUMDes

Abstract

The G. koordersiana Burret plant, especially its bark, is used by the Sumba community to treat wounds, ulcers, and liver. This study aims to determine the effect of solvent types on the antibacterial and cytotoxic activity of G. koordersiana Burret extract. The research methods used were maceration method, antibacterial test, and cytotoxic test of G. koordersiana Burret bark extract. The results showed that the yield of ethanol, methanol, and n-hexane extracts were 42.15%; 41.65%; and 0.62%, respectively. Ethanol and methanol extracts had antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus bacteria, while n-hexane extract did not show antibacterial activity against both bacteria. Cytotoxic tests showed that the LC50 values ​​of ethanol, methanol, and n-hexane extracts were 61.35 ppm; 758.58 ppm; and 2,494,181.19 ppm, respectively. Ethanol and methanol extracts had antibacterial activity and were toxic, while n-hexane extract did not show antibacterial activity and was not toxic. The antibacterial and cytotoxic activities of ethanol and methanol extracts showed the presence of secondary metabolite compounds of the alkaloid, phenolic, flavonoid, tannin, triterpenoid, and saponin groups, while n-hexane extract contained triterpenoid compounds that had no inhibitory power against bacteria or cytotoxic activity.
