Abstract

Silica has become a popular material due to its high abundance and many advantages in various fields. This material can be produced synthetically and extracted from nature with resultant advantages in the application of green production. Therefore, this article deals with the form of silica extracted from quartz sand, leaves, and agricultural wastes found in nature. The extraction process from various sources would be described using thermal, biological, and chemical methods. This review also highlights the potential application of silica as a photo catalytic antibacterial-supporting material and discusses its role in increasing the effectiveness of the process. The discussion was continued with research on this procedure, where synthetic auxiliary materials were compared to the extracted silica. Furthermore, results obtained indicated that the extracted material had very good potential as a photocatalyst adjunct in its application in the antibacterial field.

Abstract

Nanopartikel magnetik, oksida besi  magnetit (Fe3O4), merupakan material yang menarik untuk dikembangkan. Material ini sangat potensial untuk dapat diaplikaikan secara luas diberbagai bidang seperti untuk diagnosa medik. Namun, untuk menghasilkan Fe3O4 berukuran nano (10-100 nm) masih sulit untuk dilakukan. Pada penelitian ini telah berhasil disintesis nanopartikel Fe3O4 dengan menggunakan metode kopresipitasi. Sintesis dilakukan menggunakan prekursor Ferrous Chloride Tetrahydrate (FeCl2.4H2O) dan Ferric Chloride Anhydrous (FeCl3.6H2O) dengan perbandingan ion ferrous dan ion ferric adalah 1:2. Kemudian, Ammonium Hidroksida (NH3.H2O) digunakan sebagai bahan presipitan. Morfologi partikel dari sampel dikarakterisasi menggunkan Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM).Berdasarkan hasil karakterisasi TEM diperoleh morfologi partikel berbentuk bulat dengan ukuran rata-rata berkisar 10 nm

Abstract

Apatit lantanum silikat banyak digunakan sebagai elektrolit pada sel bahan bakar padatan (SOFC). Beberapa oksida apatit lantanum silikat La9.33Si6O26 telah disintesis dengan metode hidrotermal guna mengamati pentingnya peranan mineraliser terhadap karakternya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jenis dan konsentrasi mineraliser terhadap kristalinitas, ukuran partikel dan hubungannya dengan sifat konduktivitas oksida apatit lantanum silikat. Struktur, ukuran partikel dan konduktivitas oksida apatit masing-masing dikarakterisasi dengan XRD, PSA dan spektroskopi impedansi. Oksida apatit lantanum silikat diperoleh dengan melarutkan La2O3 dan Na2SiO3 dengan mol ratio 1,555 menggunakan mineraliser NaOH (3-5 M) dan KOH (0,3-0,7 M). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kinerja elektrolit sangat ditentukan oleh kristalinitas dan morfologi apatit lanthanum silikat yang dipengaruhi oleh jenis dan konsentrasi mineralizer. Ukuran apatit lantanum silikat terkecil diperoleh dari hasil sintesis dengan menggunakan mineraliser NaOH 3 M yaitu 1,7889 µm, dengan nilai konduktivitas tertinggi yaitu 1,99×10-6 S/cm pada suhu operasi 600 ºC. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut NaOH 3 M merupakan mineraliser yang paling baik untuk menghasilkan apatit lanthanum silikat La9.33Si6O26.Conductivity of Lanthanum Silicate Apatite Phase of La9.33Si6O26 Prepared by Hydrothermal Synthesis using NaOH and KOH as Mineralizer. Lanthanum silicates are used as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). Some oxide-based apatite has been synthesized by hydrothermal method to observe mineralizer effect on the process of crystallization. The effect of type and amount of mineralizers for preparing apatite –type lanthanum silicate of La9.33Si6O26 was investigatedon its crystallinity, particle size, as well as on the conductivity properties relationship were investigated. The structure, particle size and conductivity of La9.33Si6O26 was characterized using X-ray diffraction, particle size analyzer and impedance spectroscopy respectively. The results show that the electrolyte performance is strongly dependent on the crystallinity and the morphology textural of lanthanum silicate apatite affected by the type and amount of mineralizer. The lanthanum silicate apatiteprepared by La2O3 and Na2SiO3 (molar ratio of La2O3 and Na2SiO3 = 1.555), and NaOH (3; 4; 5 M) and KOH (0,3-0,7 M) as mineralizer. As a result, apatite-type lanthanum silicate was prepare using NaOH 3 M shows smallest particle (1.7889 μm) and highest conductivity (1.99 × 10-6 S / cm at 600 ºC). With respect to both particle size and conductivity, the NaOH 3 M can be selected as a suitable type and amount mineralizer for the preparation of excellent lanthanum silicate apatite La9.33Si6O26.

Abstract

Sensitive detection of infectious diseases is crucial for effective clinical care. However, commercial rapid tests may be limited in their ability to detect pathogen variants across different countries. It was found that the sensitivity of a chikungunya rapid test on local strain was only 20.5% as compared to the East, Central, and South Africa (ECSA) phylogroup. Therefore, the development of geographically specific diagnostics is essential. Investigating the distinctive structural properties of a locally sourced antigenic protein is an important initiative for the development of a specific antibody. This study utilized structural bioinformatics and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the differences between the E1-E2 antigenic proteins of the Indonesian chikungunya virus (Ind-CHIKV) and that of ECSA. The results showed that some of the mutation points are located at the antibody binding sites of Ind-CHIKV. G194S and V318R mutations were proposed as distinctive features of Ind-CHIKV, leading to weaker antibody binding compared to ECSA. It suggests that modifying the antibody to accommodate bulkier side chains at positions 194 and 318 could improve its effectiveness against Ind-CHIKV. These insights are valuable for developing a highly sensitive immunoassay for Ind-CHIKV and other regional pathogens, ultimately enhancing diagnostic capabilities in Indonesia.
