Abstract

Substitution reaction of hydroxy of citronellol with chloride using a mixture of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and sulphuric acid (H2SO4) has been conducted. The citronellol was obtained from the reduction of citronellal using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) at room temperature for 30 minutes. Substitution of hydroxy of citronellol with chloride ion was carried out at 80 oC and molarity ratio of citronellol and NH4Cl 1:1, 1:2; 1:3; and 1:4 respectively. Identification of the product by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) showed that the substitution reaction produced 2-isopropyl-5-methyl-1-chlorocyclohexane compound with rendemen 64,49 % in mol ratio of 1:4. The infra red (IR) analysis showed that there was a vibration at wave number 763 cm-1 which is a typical C-Cl vibrations.

Abstract

In this study, zeolite was synthesized from kaolin which was founded from Bangka Belitung as the starting material. Meanwhile, sodium silicate was used as silica source. Zeolite is material with many benefits, such as become an adsorbent. Kaolin has been used as starting material due to high content of silica and alumina, i.e 35 - 50 %. Zeolite was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis process, by mixing the metakaolin which was produced by calcination of kaolin at 700 °C for 6 hours, with sodium silicate and NaOH. The NaOH was used to activate the major components of Si and Al in the kaolin.The hydrothermal process was conducted at 100 °C for 24 hours with various concentrations of NaOH, i.e 1.5 N and 2.5 N. The NaOH concentration might determine the type of zeolite obtained. To improve the nature as adsorbent, zeolites modified into zeolit/TiO2. The addition of TiO2into the prepared zeolit aimed to produce a material with capability as adsorbent-photocatalyst. The result of research found that the addition of NaOH 1.5 N produced zeolite NaP1. Meanwhile, the addition of NaOH 2.5 N produced the NaP1 zeolite, zeolite X, and faujasite. The composite of zeolit/TiO2has ability on adsorption-photocatalytic as it was proven by methylene blue degradation under ultraviolet light.

Abstract

Corrosion inhibitors of 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol and its derivatives has been elucidated by means of density functional theory at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. Effect of electron donating and withdrawing groups such as NH2, SH, CHCH2, CH3, OH, CHO, COOH, F and NO2 on the corrosion inhibitor of 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol derivatives also have been studied. The quantum chemical parameters such as the frontier orbital energies (EHOMO), ionization potential (I), electron affinity (A) and electronegativity (χ) are closely related to the corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE %) of 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol derivatives. The presence of electron donating groups increase IE % values meanwhile electron with drawing groups reduce IE % values. The enhancement of IE % follows NO2 < CHO < COOH < SH < F < CH3 < CHCH2 < OH < NH2. Electron donating NH2 group gives 96.38 % of IE %, pure 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol IE % = 82.70 %. In contrast, electron withdrawing NO2 group gives IE % only 68.66 %. This theoretical study would have a significantly contribution for accelerating corrosion inhibitor experimental to gain optimum results.

Abstract

The control of uric acid is important. A high level of uric acid can cause gout disease. Therefore a simple, fast, and accurate method for uric acid determination is required. In this research a conductometric biosensor has been developed by SPCE – Nata de coco for uric acid determination. The prepared biosensor was optimized to get a good performance of biosensor and it is applicable for human serum samples. The optimized variables were enzyme concentration, membrane thickness and pH solution. The various enzyme concentration were 6 μg/mL; 12 μg/mL; 18μg/mL; 24 μg/mL. The various membrane thickness were 5 μm; 10 μm; 15 μm. Meanwhile, the various pH solution were 7; 7.5; 8; 8.5; 9. The optimum enzime concentration was 18 µg/mL with the membrane thickness and pH were 5 µm and 8, respectively. The prepared biosensor can determine the uric acid concentration at range of 0 – 1.2 ppm with the sensitivity of 7.74 µS/ppm and the limit detection is 0 ppm. The biosensor was applied to uric acid detection in human serum with accuracy of 95 %.

Abstract

This research deals with the study of the paraffin cracking reaction with termal reaction, active natural zeolite (ZAA) and NiMo / active natural zeolite (ZAA) catalyst. Temperature variation was done in order to study the optimum temperature of paraffin cracking reactions. Paraffin cracking reaction carried out at temperatures of 200 - 400 °C and a hydrogen flow rate of 30 mL / min. Cracking products obtained, and then analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GCMS). Catalyst activity (%) was defined as the amount of lighter fractions/the amount of feed (paraffin) (%). The results showed that the catalyst NiMo/ZAA has the highest activity (31.33 %) at the cracking reaction temperature of 300 ºC

Abstract

Recently, the issue of heavy metals are wastes is become popular such as Cu, Co, Pb, and etc. Furthermore, the presence of Cu together with paracetamol as pharmacy waste. Photocatalytic process could be an alternative to avoid the situation. This research investigated the influence of irradiation and the initial concentration of paracetamol toward TiO2-catalyzed photoreduction of Cu(II). The research aims to develop a photoreduction method that is catalyzed by TiO2 in the presence of paracetamol in reducing Cu(II) and paracetamol concentration. Cu(II) photoreduction process was (II) conducted in a close reactor equipped with a UV lamp. The remaining Cu(II) in solution was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) to determine its concentration and paracetamol concentration by visible spectrophotometry method. Results showed that the use of photocatalyst TiO2improves the photoreduction of  Cu(II), 15-45 minutes irradiation also contributes the increment, over the time a tiny decrease in photoreduction effectivity occur, however. At initial paracetamol concentration, 50 to 250 mg/L lead to an increase in photodegradation of paracetamol, and large decline occur over e.i. 250 mg/L,  however. The presence of paracetamol may increase the effectiveness of Cu(II) photoreduction due to the prevention of  radical OH• and electrons recombination. The most effective photoreduction of  25 mL solution of ion Cu(II) 10 mg/L is readily achieve in reaction conditions  using  20 mg of TiO2 by 45 minutes irradiation in the present of 25 mL of paracetamol 250 mg/L. By those Cu(II) ion was reduced by 98.87 % and 14.73 % of paracetamol was degraded.

Abstract

Synthesis of four-layered Aurivillius compound doped with Nd3+ and Mn4+ cations, SrBi3.5Nd0.5Ti4-xMnxO15 (x = 0; 0.5; 1) was carried out using molten salt method with a mixture of Na2SO4/K2SO4 as a flux. The synthesized products were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and refined by Le Bail technique. The results of XRD analysis show that the four-layered Aurivillius compound formed, however there are additional peaks identified as perovskite and Bi7.68Ti0.32O12.16  phases for x = 0 and perovskite and Sr4Ti3O10phases for x = 0.5 and 1. The results of refinement show that four-layered Aurivillius phase formed has orthorhombic symmetry with A21am space group. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) shows the plate like morphology that are characteristic of Aurivillius compound. Dielectric constant of the samples show increasing value as increasing of Mn4+ concentration.
