Abstract

The quality of milkfish (Chanos chanos) in ponds cultivation is low. Small body size, pale body surface, odor of mud and low nutritional value cause not compete in the retail market, due to ponds experiencing burnout due to excessive use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. The aim of this study was improved the quality of milkfish farming with earthworm flour (Lumbricus rubellus) (TCT). Adding TCT to feed with four different treatments for 30 days. The results showed that the administration of 5%, 10% and 15% TCT, could improve the quality of milkfish ponds, both qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative improvement aspects, namely the surface of the fish's body was brighter, scales cleaner and whiter, the smell of mud was not felt, while the achievement of quantitative aspects was the fish's weight increased sharply in the range of 1.465% - 1.846% per day and omega-3 levels increased in the range of 1.9834 % - 5,5693% and omega-6 increased in the range of 1.4993% - 4.8796% or an increased of nearly 10 times each compared to levels of omega-3 and omega-6 milkfish samples without TCT

Abstract

Research on the adsorption of Mn (II) ions has been carried out using  biomass duckweed (Lemna minor linn) with the esterified by citric acid. This study aims to determine the maximum adsorption capacity of Mn (II) ions in using adsorbent biomass of duckweed esterified by citric acid. Water nail biomass adsorbents were characterized using FTIR to determine the functional groups of citric acid esterified adsorbents. The stages of this research include modification of water biomass using citric acid, followed by manganese (II) ion adsorption tests with pH variations in pH, contact time of adsorption and initial concentration variations under optimum conditions. The results showed that optimum adsorption occurred at pH  5, contact time for 10 minutes and the concentration of Mn (II) solution 15 mg / L was measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The equation used in the study follows the Langmuir and Freundlich equations. Based on the Langmuir isotherm equation, the maximum adsorption capacity of Mn (II) ion using citric acid modified water nail biomass is  7,645 mg/ g, the equilibrium constant is 4,317 L/ mol and the adsorption energy is 36,84039 KJ / mol.

Abstract

The study of the decolorization of Malachite Green in solution using the Fenton reagent has been investigated. The effects of different reaction parameters such as hydrogen peroxide concentration, iron ion concentration, pH of the solution, and initial dye concentration have been carried out. In this study the experimental range for H2O2 concentrations varied from 0.2 mM to 4 mM and Fe2+ ions were 0.01-0.1 mM. All experiments were carried out at room temperature of 27 oC. Furthermore, the optimal oxidation condition with the concentration of MG dyes of 20 mg/L was with H2O2 0.5 mM, Fe2+ 0.05 mM, and pH at 3. The dye decolorization process of MG was also observed kinetically, it was found that the degradation process took place with first-order reaction rate. Under optimal conditions, the dye solution with a concentration of 20 mg/L completely decolorized within 60 minutes at 27ºC, and 76% of the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) was removed. This proves that MG was not only decolorized but also mineralized.

Abstract

An antituberculosis activity test of N-p-Methylbenzyl-p-coumaramide (MBC) against M. tuberculosis H37Rv has been carried out. The purpose of this study was to determine the antituberculosis activity of MBC against M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The study was conducted using agar diffusion method. The test solution was prepared by dissolving MBC in 20 mL Ogawa medium to a final concentration of 0.25; 0.50; 1; and 2 mg/L. PDA media that had been inoculated with M. tuberculosis H37Rv (seeded agar) were poured over the base layer on the petridish surface. Paper disks that have been immersed in the test solution were put symmetrically on the seeded agar. Furthermore, the seeds were incubated at 37 oC for 48 hours. Then the diameter of the inhibition zone was measured to the accuracy of 0.5 mm with a ruler. The results showed that MBC has biological activity as an antituberculosis. MBC can inhibit the growth of M. tuberculosis H37Rv at a concentration of 0.25; 0.50; 1; and 2 mg/L with a diameter of inhibitory zones respectively 8.9; 13.7; 18.5; and 21.3 mm. This showed that the inhibition of MBC on the growth of M. tuberculosis H37Rv increased with increasing concentration of MBC used.

Abstract

The crab shell (Portunus pelagis) is still an untapped waste, especially on Bangka Island. Actually, this shell has a high value because there is chitin and chitosan. Chitosan is a biopolymer which has recently been developed into adsorbents, membranes and edible films. The deacetylation process of chitin will be the key to the quality of chitosan produced. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to see the effect of the chitin deacetylation process into chitosan using a microwave. Microwave deacetylation process is carried out with various time variations at 1200 W and 100oC. Characterization and degree of deacetylation (DD) of chitosan crab were analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results showed that deacetylation using conventional methods for 120 minutes at a temperature 100oC had DD 76.67% while deacetylation using microwave for 40 minutes at a temperature of 100oC had a DD  77.89%. Microwave deacetylation is three times faster than conventional methods.
