Abstract

Adsorption of Tofu Liquid Waste Using Rice Husk Activated Carbon. Rice husk is an agricultural by-product rich in organic matter, and improper management can cause environmental pollution. Given the high carbon content in rice husk, it can be used as an adsorbent. Furthermore, the type of activator and activation technique employed impact the properties of activated carbon. Due to its ability to produce activated carbon with a high pore volume and specific surface area, KOH is a chemical substance that is frequently employed. This study sought to ascertain whether rice husks might be used as activated carbon to lower the amount of organic matter in liquid effluent from the tofu business. The results of this study indicate that rice husk activated carbon can reduce the level of TDS by 27%, TSS by 97%, and pH 6 from the initial level. The optimum contact time is 120 minutes at a ratio variation of 1:130, because at that time the activated carbon has approached saturation by the adsorbed adsorbate and experienced equilibrium and saturation.

Abstract

Fly ash, as waste from burning coal, contains dominant amounts of silica (SiO2), so it can be used as a source of silica. Silica synthesis can be done by reacting fly ash with an alkaline solution and precipitating the silica with an acidic solution. In this research, the variables used are the type of reactant, process temperature and the mass ratio of the raw material to the reactant, with the aim of knowing the silica yield produced. Silica synthesis was carried out using 3M NaOH and KOH with variations in temperature (75, 85, 95, 105 oC), mole ratio of fly ash to NaOH (1:10.09; 1:12.61; 1:15.13) and KOH ( 1:7.34; 1:9.17). The initial fly ash content was carried out by XRF analysis and the silica resulting from the extraction process was calculated by % yield and SEM analysis. The research shows that the highest % yield at a temperature of 950C and mole ratio of 1:15.13 is 105.6% using NaOH solvent and a raw material: reactant ratio of 1:11 of 1.184 grams with yield of 43.05% using KOH solvent, Yields that exceed 100% are caused by impurities that are taken in during the silica extraction process. The silica results in both reactant type variables have an average particle size of 36 -77 nm.

Abstract

Azadirachta indica, Acalypha indica, and Muntingia calabura are wild plants with antioxidant content capable of treating various diseases. This study aims to evaluate phytochemical compound screening using qualitative tests and to characterize them using FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) in Azadirachta indica, Acalypha indica, and Muntingia Calabura, as well as to assess total phenolic content (TPC), flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant potential. The results showed that Azadirachta indica and Acalypha indica contained alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, phenols, glycosides, steroids, and carbohydrates but lacked proteins and triterpenoids. In contrast, Muntingia Calabura leaf extract lacked glycosides, triterpenoids, and carbohydrates. The highest TPC content in Muntingia Calabura extract was 269.88±0.00 mg GAE/gr extract, and the highest TFC was found in Azadirachta indica extract at 676.34±21.85 mg CE/gr extract. The ethanol extract of Azadirachta indica and Muntingia Calabura leaves has very strong antioxidant activity, with IC₅₀ values of 32.76 ± 3.02 ppm and 31.16 ± 1.96 ppm, respectively, while Acalypha indica had an IC₅₀ value of 107.71 ± 3.55 ppm, indicating a moderate level of antioxidant activity. These results support the potential of the three medicinal plants as sources of natural antioxidants. The findings can stimulate further research to isolate key bioactive compounds and perform toxicity tests to support potential applications in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
