Abstract

Brass (CuZn) is widely used today due to better mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. The present research fabricated CuZn alloy by adding various Zn (6, 9, and 12 wt.%) to the Cu using gravity casting. Casts CuZn alloy by adding various Zn to the Cu to investigate optimum composition were resulting highest inhibited of bacterial activity. In addition, the structure, hardness, and electrochemical behavior of the alloy were also investigated using XRD, Vickers hardness, and potentiostat equipment. XRD confirmed that CuZn alloy has an alpha phase, and a FCC crystal structure. The rise of the Zn content in the alloy led to an increase in crystallite size, a decrease in the hardness and a shift to a more negative OCP potential at 1200 s measurement. Enhancing the Zn content to 9 wt.% in the alloy lead to decrease the corrosion rate. Moreover, 24-hour post-contact observation found that the sample places removed remained clear of bacteria. The Cu6Zn sample successfully inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli in the 3rd hour, while Staphylococcus aureus was 100 % reduced in the 7th hour. The Cu6Zn sample could be used as an alternative material for medical equipment in ambulances.

Abstract

Indonesia has a large amount of liquid waste originating from the tofu industry. Currently, the treatment of tofu industrial wastewater is carried out using both anaerobic and aerobic methods, but both methods still have several weaknesses. In this study, the tofu industrial wastewater was utilized as a culture medium for Spirulina sp. to provide economic value from wastewater that can be used as bioethanol, pharmaceuticals, and food products rich in omega 3, chlorophyll, carotenoids. Aim: The growth of Spirulina sp. is closely related to the availability of macro and micronutrients as nutrients and the influence of environmental conditions, so this study was aimed to see the best variation of the addition of urea and NaHCO3 as additional nutrients to maximize growth and cell density of Spirulina sp. with tofu industrial wastewater media. Methodology and Results: This study was done by culvitating Spirulina sp in the growth media, measuring the Optical Density (OD), and analyzing quantitatively and using ANOVA on IBM SPSS Statistics version 20. The study indicated that adding urea and NaHCO3 to Spirulina sp. had no effect on cell density and growth rate. Treatment with addition of urea 0.36 g/500 ml without additional of NaHCO3 had the highest growth rate, 0.00852/day, and the highest cell density value on Spirulina sp. growth. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: The tofu liquid waste can be used as a new alternative used as fertilizer because in the liquid tofu waste, it provides the nutrients needed by Spirulina sp.
