Abstract

Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jawa Timur is one of the public facilities that produces solid waste, including organic waste, inorganic, and hazardous waste. Waste that can be immediately utilized is organic waste consisting of food waste and leaves and twigs. Therefore, appropriate technology is needed to process organic waste into more useful goods and as a better management alternative through community service. One of the alternatives for processing waste is recycling it into compost using Simultaneous Composting Technology with EM4 and MOL. The main target of this community service is to reduce waste and utilize university waste with appropriate technology for regional coverage and national coverage in the future. The method of this community service is to separate waste between organic and non-organic, selected organic waste is cut by a hammer mill, and then other waste from the canteen activity is made Local Microorganisms (MOLs) as the decaying medium in the composite production of the organic garbage processing device reactor. As a result, this community service has been running smoothly and well. The results of this community service have a positive impact through the use of organic waste into compost which can be utilized by the internal campus and generate economic value.

Abstract

Water pollution, particularly from textile industry waste, has become an increasingly significant environmental issue. Textile waste, especially synthetic dyes, contributes substantially to water pollution because of its complex structure and low biodegradability. Dyes such as Remazol Brilliant Red and Remazol Turquoise Blue, which are commonly used in the textile industry, are stable, toxic, and difficult to degrade biologically. One promising approach to address this issue is photocatalysis using photocatalysts such as CuO and CeO₂, which possess high degradation capabilities for organic contaminants. This study explored the effectiveness of CuO-CeO₂-based photocatalysts in degrading Remazol Turquoise Blue and Remazol Brilliant Red dyes. Photocatalysts were synthesized with varying CuO-CeO₂ concentrations, and degradation tests were conducted using UV light to observe dye degradation. The results show that the CuO-CeO₂ photocatalysts at a concentration of 25% achieved the highest degradation efficiency, with nearly 41.5% removal of Remazol Turquoise Blue and 26.1% removal of Remazol Brilliant Red after 120 min. Increasing the photocatalyst concentration increases the number of active sites, accelerating the degradation process. However, there is a limitation at very high concentrations because of the potential for catalyst particle agglomeration.
