Abstract

Objective – The objective of this study is to identify the key elements of buying beauty products in drugstore chains, discuss the reasons and factors behind why these drugstore chains had become the customers’ preference to visit and purchase beauty products, and to find out the relation of store convenience of drugstore chains to purchase intention of their beauty products. Methodology – The method used in this research is quantitative using an online survey started in November 2020. From 132 distributed questionnaires using Google Form link, only 106 responses are valid. Findings – The results reveal that shopping enjoyment and competitive price to have a significant influence on intention to purchase. However, the relationship between convenience and purchase intention was not supported. Novelty – Previous studies have predominantly examined the main effect of shopping convenience on purchase intention. This study extends our understanding of this relationship by highlighting the non-significant result in the convenience–intention linkage.

Abstract

The presence of heavy metals, such as copper (Cu²?), in industrial wastewater poses environmental problems due to their toxicity and resistance to natural degradation. One of the treatment methods used is adsorption with activated carbon, which has a high surface area and porosity. However, the adsorption capacity decreases after several cycles of use, necessitating regeneration via desorption. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Cu²? ion desorption from activated carbon using various concentrations of HCl solution and to analyze morphological changes in the adsorbent after desorption. The desorption experiments were carried out with HCl concentrations of 0.05 M, 0.1 M, 0.15 M, 0.2 M, and 0.25 M, and with contact times of 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. The Cu ion concentration was analyzed using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS), and the surface morphology was characterized using a SEM. The outcomes showed that increasing the HCl concentration enhanced desorption efficiency, reaching a maximum of 49.9% at 0.25 M, with an optimum contact time of 90 minutes. SEM analysis revealed changes in the pore structure and surface morphology of the activated carbon after desorption, indicating the release of metal ions from the adsorbent surface.
