Abstract

The UD FIT industry, situated in Bocek Village, Karangploso District, operates as a tofu factory employing modern equipment, including a fire tube boiler. The quality of feed water utilized in the boiler is essential for optimizing its efficiency. This study aimed to analyze the boiler feed water sourced from household wells at UD FIT's tofu factory, using various indicators such as turbidity, iron content, total dissolved solids (TDS), hardness, and pH levels. The test results revealed a temperature of 26°C, TDS of 253 mg/L, turbidity of 4.74 NTU, iron content of 1.123 mg/L, hardness of 180.5 mg/L, and pH of 7.89, with no detectable odor, color, or taste. Based on these findings, it is concluded that the boiler feed water utilized by UD FIT generally meet the quality standards, except for the pH parameter, which is not in accordance with the standard.

Abstract

Mesoporous silica is a versatile material characterized by its highly ordered nanoporous structure with pore diameters ranging from 2 to 50 nanometers. This unique structure provides a large surface area and volume, making mesoporous silica an excellent candidate for various applications in adsorption, drug delivery, catalysis, and environmental remediation. Mesoporous silica can be synthesized using commercial or natural silica precursors such as mineral clay and other natural sources. Promising alternative sources of silica for synthesizing mesoporous materials encompass a range of materials, including various clay minerals such as kaolin, rectorite, halloysite, montmorillonite, sepiolite, hectorite, bentonite, talc, muscovite, paragonite, palygorskite, and chlorite. Other natural sources like beach sand, geothermal sludge, and sepiolite also show significant potential for mesoporous material synthesis. However, these sources have not been extensively explored and warrant further investigation in the field. The mesoporous silica from natural sources has been widely used as a catalyst for biofuel production via hydrocracking, catalytic cracking, and deoxygenation reactions

Abstract

One type of antioxidant that is usually found in plants such as fruit, skin, leaves, and others is flavonoids. In addition, flavonoids can be used for the formation of nanoparticles (NPs) as a bioreductor. The purpose of this study was to examine the utilization of red dragon fruit peel extract as a bioreductor in the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles from zinc nitrate precursors using the biosynthesis method. Red dragon fruit peel was macerated to obtain flavonoids. Zinc nitrate was used as a precursor to make ZnO NPs. UV-VIS spectrophotometric analysis showed that the total flavonoids contained in the extract were 5.6 x 10-4 mg QE/g. By FTIR test, ZnO nanoparticles are known to contain OH groups characterized by a peak in the 3374.10 cm-1 region. XRD results show that ZnO nanoparticles have a hexagonal wurtzite shape. SEM-EDX results show that the ZnO nanoparticles formed have a size of 157-174 nm and contain the constituent composition of 69.41% zinc and 29.35% oxygen. ZnO nanoparticles have anticancer effects that can be used in anticancer drugs, which can efficiently suppress synergistic cytoxicity in leukemia cell lines under UV irradiation.
