Abstract

TiO2 nanotube (TiO2-NT) is one of the promising materials for photocatalytic water remediation. TiO2-NT doped Zn (Zn/TiO2-NT) is synthesized from P25 Degussa via one step hydrothermal method. From XRD and UV-DRS analysis, it showed that Zn as a doping material led to decrease band gap energy and decrease the crystallite size. The best results obtained was Zn/TiO2-NT with a crystallite size of 7.14 nm, and band gap energy value of 3.18 eV. Photocatalytic activity of Zn/TiO2-NT was also tested for photocatalytic activity of textile dye (methylene blue) degradation.  During the photocatalytic activity for methylene blue degradation, the Zn/TiO2-NT shows higher activity compared to non-doped sample. The non-doped sample shows degradation activity of 87.72%, meanwhile the Zn/TiO2-NT shows degradation activity of 95.88%.

Abstract

TiO2 is one of the photocatalyst materials that is widely used and proven for environmental treatment. To increase the activity of TiO2, TiO2 has been modified into a nanotube shape with nickel metal doping. The TiO2 nanotubes with Ni doping have been synthesized with one step hydrothermal process. In this research, it shows that nickel doped with TiO2 led to a reduction of crystal size and band gap energy. The smaller crystalline size and lower band gap energy enhanced its photocatalytic activity. The best results for photocatalytic activity were TiO2/Ni with a crystal size of 7.30 nm and a band gap energy value of 3.12 eV. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2/Ni was tested by degrading methylene blue under mercury lamp radiation, with the best result of 92.73 % degradation of methylene blue, within 240 minutes of photocatalytic activity.

Abstract

In this study, banana peel was used as a natural sunscreen compound because of its natural antioxidants, such as flavonoids, tannins, triterpenoids, and phenols. Extraction is carried out using Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction method with variations in ethanol solvent concentration and material to solvent ratio at 45oC for 45 minutes. The ethanol concentrations used are 96%, 70%, and 50% and the material to solvent ratio 1/10, 1/20, and 1/30. From the results of the study, the highest yield and SPF value were obtained at ethanol concentration of 50% and material to solvent ratio 1/30. The yield in this variation is 15.2646%, and the SPF value is 8.9874 with the maximum protection category. The highest Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) results was obtained at 70% ethanol concentration and the ratio of material to solvent 1/30, namely 1.6559 mg QE/g. From the variation with the best TFC value, the mass transfer coefficient is 0.0151 mL/µg QE.min.
