Abstract

This study aimed to determine the optimum proportion of hazelnut oil, surfactants, and cosurfactants for SNEDDS of Secang Heartwood using the simplex lattice design (SLD) method using the Design-Expert software. The SNEDDS formula was prepared using Tween 80 and Croduret 50 ss as surfactants, propylene glycol as cosurfactant, and candlenut oil based on physical stability parameters: formula transmittance (%), separation phase, and emulsification time. The optimum SNEDDS formula was compared with the predictive value [p> 0.05] provided by the SLD; then extract the loading dose, accelerated stability test, analysis of particle size, and zeta potential. The optimum proportion of Tween 80-Croduret 50 ss, propylene glycol, and hazelnut oil, based on the SLD, was 62.43%; 22.57%; and 15.0%. The results showed that the transmittance was 93.2%; emulsification time was 74.67 seconds, and; separation phase was 0.89. The SLD's predictive values of the transmittance percentage, emulsification time, and separation phase were 94.98%, 78.97 seconds, 0.84, respectively. The results of the one-sample t-test statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the observative and predictive results. SNEDDS was found capable of loading 25.0 mg of secang heartwood methanolic extract in each system, with a particle size of 23.2 nm, a polydispersity index of 0.142, and zeta potential of +20.8 mV.

Abstract

Banyaknya pencemaran ion logam dalam perairan menjadi perhatian yang serius para peneliti, terutama untuk mengurangi keberadaan ion logam Cd yang terkandung dalam perairan dengan menggunakan adsorben. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat adsorben berbasis silika dengan kapasitas dan selektifitas tinggi terhadap ion Cd(II). Dalam penelitian ini, sintesis material imprinted ionic Cd(II) (SiO2-TMPDT-Cd-Imp) telah berhasil dilakukan menggunakan prekursor natrium silikat dari abu sekam padi. Proses sintesis diawali dengan pembuatan natrium silikat. Selanjutnya, trimetoksisililpropildietilentriamin (TMPDT), ion logam Cd(II) dan HCl ditambahkan hingga terbentuk gel. Gel dielusi dengan etilenadiaminatetraasetat (EDTA) untuk membentuk cetakan (template). Hasil karakterisasi dengan FTIR menunjukkan TMPDT terikat pada silika ditandai dengan munculnya vibrasi ulur dari C-H alkana pada 2908 cm-1 dan vibrasi tekuk gugus N-H pada 1471 cm-1.  Karakterisasi dengan Surface Area Analyzers (SAA) menunjukkan bahwa material tersebut memiliki luas permukaan sebesar 12,674 m2/g, volume pori total sebesar 0,017 cc/g, dan jari-jari pori rerata sebesar 18,783 Å. Karakterisasi dengan SEM-EDX memperlihatkan adanya unsur C dan N pada SiO2-TMPDT-Cd-Imp. Kondisi optimum adsorpsi ion logam Cd(II) oleh SiO2-TMPDT-Cd-Imp terjadi  pada pH 6,  waktu kontak 10 menit dan konsentrasi awal sebesar 10 ppm. Model kinetika adsorpsi ion logam Cd(II) pada SiO2-TMPDT-Cd-Imp mengikuti pseudo orde 2. Proses adsorpsi SiO2-TMPDT-Cd-Imp cenderung mengikuti isoterm Freundlich dengan nilai  faktor heterogenitas (n) sebesar 1,617 dan konstanta Freundlich (KF) sebesar 2,768. Kapasitas adsorpsi maksimum untuk Langmuir (qm) sebesar 19,16 mg/g. Urutan selektifitas (K) ion logam Cd(II) terhadap ion logam lain pada SiO2-TMPDT-Cd-Imp adalah Cd-Pb<Cd-Ni<Cd-Co.Utilization of Rice Husk Ash as a Silica Source for the Preparation of Cd (II) Metal Ion Adsorbents through Imprinted Ionic Technique. The amount of metal ion contamination in the waters is a serious concern for researchers, especially in reducing the presence of Cd metal ions contained in waters by using adsorbents. Therefore, this study aims to make a silica-based adsorbent with high capacity and selectivity to Cd (II) ions. In this research, the synthesis of imprinted ionic Cd (II) (SiO2-TMPDT-Cd-Imp) was successfully carried out using sodium silicate precursor from rice husk ash. The synthesis process begins with the production of sodium silicate. Furthermore, trimethoxysylpropildethylentriamine (TMPDT), metal ion Cd(II) and HCl were added to form a gel. The gel was eluted with ethylenediaminatetraacetate (EDTA) to form a template. The FTIR analysis showed that the binding of TMPDT to silica was indicated by the appearance of stretching vibrations C-H alkanes at 2908 cm-1and bending vibrations of N-H groups at 1471 cm-1. The Surface Area Analyzers (SAA) data showed that the material had a surface area of 12.674 m2/g, total pore volume of 0.017 cc/g, and average pore radius of 18.783 Å. Further characterization using SEM-EDX showed the presence of elements of C and N in SiO2-TMPDT-Cd-Imp. The optimum conditions for adsorption of Cd(II) metal ions by SiO2-TMPDT-Cd-Imp occurred at pH 6, the contact time of 10 minutes, and the initial concentration of 10 ppm. The adsorption kinetics model of Cd(II) metal ion on SiO2-TMPDT-Cd-Imp follows a pseudo second order. The adsorption process of SiO2-TMPDT-Cd-Imp follows the Freundlich isotherm with a heterogeneity factor value (n) of 1.617 and a Freundlich constant (KF) of 2.768. The maximum adsorption capacity for Langmuir (qm) is 19.16 mg/g. The selectivity (K) metal ion Cd(II) to other metal ions in SiO2-TMPDT-Cd-Imp is Cd-Pb<Cd-Ni<Cd-Co.

Abstract

Limbah elektronik mengandung banyak logam yang bernilai guna antara lain tembaga (Cu), besi (Fe), timah (Sn), timbal (Pb), seng (Zn), emas (Au) dan perak (Ag). Di antara logam tersebut, logam yang memiliki nilai ekonomi tertinggi dan banyak disimpan sebagai investasi kekayaan dalam jangka panjang adalah emas (Au), namun jumlah kandungan emas dalam elektronik lebih kecil dibandingkan logam yang lain. Penelitian ini merupakan studi pendahuluan recovery emas dari limbah elektronik. Studi diawali dengan mempreparasi asam askorbat termodifikasi magnetit (Fe3O4/AA) dan digunakan sebagai adsorben Au dalam sampel simulasi. Sampel simulasi terdiri dari sistem Au tunggal (larutan HAuCl4-) dan sistem multilogam (Au/Cu). Pengaruh pH larutan HAuCl4- terhadap kemampuan adsorpsi [AuCl4]-, kinetika dan isoterm adsorpsidipelajari pada sistem Au tunggal. Sementara itu, pengaruh keberadaan ion logam Cu terhadap kemampuan Fe3O4/AA untuk recovery emas dipelajari dalam sistem multilogam (Au/Cu). Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode batch. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa adsorpsi [AuCl4]- pada Fe3O4/AA optimum pada pH 4 dan kesetimbangan adsorpsi tercapai pada jam ke-30. Model kinetika adsorpsi mengikuti model kinetika pseudo orde dua Ho dan model isoterm adsorpsi mengikuti model isoterm Langmuir dengan kapasitas adsorpsi sebesar 0,09900 mol/g. Keberadaan ion logam Cu berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan Fe3O4/AA dalam mengadsorpsi [AuCl4]- dalam sistem multilogam (Au/Cu). Gold Recovery in a Single Au and Multi-metal (Au/Cu) Systems Using Ascorbic Acid-Modified Magnetite Adsorbent. Electronic waste contains many valuable metals, including copper (Cu), iron (Fe), lead (Sn), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), gold (Au), and silver (Ag). Among these metals, the metal that has the highest economic value and can be stored for a long-term wealth investment is gold (Au), but the amount of gold content in electronic devices is smaller than other metals. This research was a preliminary study of gold recovery from electronic waste. The study began by preparing magnetite-modified ascorbic acid (Fe3O4/AA) and was used as an adsorbent agent of gold in a simulated sample. The simulation sample consisted of a single Au system (HAuCl4- solution) and a multi-metal system (Au/Cu). The effect of pH of the HAuCl4- solution on the ability of [AuCl4]- adsorption, kinetic and isotherm adsorptions were studied in a single Au system. Meanwhile, the effect of the Cu metal ions content on Fe3O4/AA capacity for gold recovery was studied in a multi-metal system. The method used in this research was the batch method. The results showed that optimum adsorption of [AuCl4]- onto Fe3O4/AA at pH 4 and adsorption equilibrium was reached at 30 hours. The adsorption kinetics model followed the second-order pseudo-Ho kinetics model, and the adsorption isotherm model followed the Langmuir isotherm model with an adsorption capacity of 0.09900 mol/g. The presence of Cu metal ions affected the capacity of Fe3O4/AA in the [AuCl4]-adsorption in a multi-metal system (Au/Cu).

Parameter yang dioptimasi yaitu laju pindai dan komposisi Fe2O3 dalam pasta karbon. Selanjutnya dilakukan validasi pengukuran, meliputi rentang konsentrasi linier, limit deteksi, limit kuantisasi, keberulangan, dan persen perolehan kembali. Hasil yang diperoleh yaitu laju pindai optimum 15 mV/s menggunakan EPK, menjadi lebih cepat yaitu 20 mV/s menggunakan EPK Fe2O3. Komposisi modifier terbaik dalam pasta karbon sebesar 0,5%. Rentang konsentrasi linier pengukuran menggunakan EPK yaitu 5 ~ 100 mg/L menjadi 5 ~ 2000 mg/L pada EPK Fe2O3. Limit deteksi dan limit kuantisasi menggunakan EPK Fe2O3 masing-masing 0,5490 mg/L dan 0,5497 mg/L, lebih rendah daripada menggunakan EPK yaitu 1,0667 mg/L dan 1,0688 mg/L. Keberulangan pengukuran menghasilkan rasio Horwitz yang lebih kecil dari dua. Nilai persen perolehan kembali pengukuran larutan standar dengan matriks larutan sampel yang diambil pada tiga lokasi yang berbeda, yaitu pada Dermaga Barat 97,51±9,92% ; Dermaga Selatan 101,18±10,60%; dan Dermaga Timur 95,50±1,23%. Hasil pengukuran Fe(III) dalam sampel diperoleh 129,98±13,65 mg/L; 114,85±13,75 mg/L; dan 127,77±4,01 mg/L, masing-masing pada Dermaga Barat, Selatan, dan Timur.Differential Pulse Voltammetry Technique Using Fe2O3 Modified Carbon Paste Electrode for Determination of Fe(III) Levels in Seawater at Benoa Harbor Bali. Benoa Port is one of the ports in the Province of Bali where fishing boats, passenger ships, and ships for tourism are anchored. Activities around the port can be a source of heavy metal pollutants. This study aims to optimize and validates carbon paste electrodes without modification (EPK) and modified by Fe2O3 (EPK Fe2O3) using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques for Fe (III) measurements in seawater at Benoa Harbor. The optimized parameters were scan rate and the Fe2O3 composition in carbon paste. Meanwhile, the validation was performed, including the range of linear concentration, detection limit, quantitation limit, repeatability, and percent of the recovery. The research found that the optimum scan rate was 15 mV/s using EPK, become faster to 20 mV/s using EPK Fe2O3. The optimum modifier composition in carbon paste was 0.5%. The linear concentration range of measurement using EPK was 5 ~ 100 mg/L to 5 ~ 2000 mg/L at EPK Fe2O3. The detection limit and the quantitation limit using EPK Fe2O3 were 0.5490 mg/L and 0.5497 mg/L, respectively. Those are lower than the detection limit quantitation by EPK i.e., 1.0667 mg/L and 1.0688 mg/L, respectively. Repeated measurements produce a Horwitz ratio which is less than two. The percent of recovery value of the measurement of the standard solution with the sample solution matrix taken from the three different locations are 97.51±9.92% for the West Pier region; 101.18±10.60% for the South Pier region; and 95.50±1.23% for the East Pier region. The Fe(III) measurements to the different samples from the West Pier, South Pier, and East Pier regions were 129.98±13.65 mg/L; 114.85±13.75 mg/L; and 127.77±4.01 mg/L, respectively.

Abstract

Pengembangan penelitian tentang material berbasiskan sumber daya alam lokal dan dapat diperbaharui terus dikembangkan akhir-akhir ini. Hal tersebut didasari adanya kebutuhan material baru dengan karakteristik yang lebih menguntungkan dan dapat digunakan pada aplikasi yang spesifik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari preparasi membran alginat-polietilen glikol (AP-PEG) dan aplikasinya sebagai enkapsulan. Alginat yang digunakan adalah hasil ekstraksi dari rumput laut cokelat Padina sp. Dengan metode maserasi jalur asam alginat. Preparasi membrane alginat Padina sp.-polietilen glikol (AP-PEG) dilakukan dengan perbandingan PEG-AP = 1:5; 1:10; 1:15; 0:1 (b/b). Analisis gugus fungsi terhadap seluruh membran yang dihasilkan, menunjukkan bahwa membran AP-PEG yang dihasilkan diprediksi sebagai hasil blending secara fisika karena tidak ada gugus fungsi baru yang terbentuk. Membran dengan perbandingan berat PEG-AP=1:15 memiliki karakteristik terbaik dengan persentase swelling sebesar 1465,5%, stress sebesar 14,588 MPa, strain 0,07 dan Modulus Young sebesar 193,13 MPa. Hasil analisis morfologi menunjukkan bahwa banyak rongga ditemukan pada membrane tersebut. Hasil uji disolusi terhadap membrane tersebut menunjukkan bahwa, pada pH 1,2 membran tersebut dapat melepaskan vitamin C sebesar 78,12% selama 60 menit dan tidak mengalami cracking. Di sisi lain, pada pH 7,2 membran tersebut dapat melepaskan vitamin C sebesar 83,54% dan cracking terjadi dalam waktu 12 menit. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa komposit AP-PEG dapat dibuat dari rumput laut coklat dan memiliki kemampuan sebagai enkapsulan.   Alginate Padina sp.-Polyethylene Glycol (AP-PEG) Membranes: Preparation, Characterization and Their Application as Encapsulant. The development of research on materials based on local and renewable natural resources has been continuously being developed recently. This is based on the need for new materials with more favorable characteristics and can be used in specific applications. This research aims to study the synthesis of alginate-polyethylene glycol (AP-PEG) membranes and their application as an encapsulant. The alginate was extracted from the brown seaweed Padina sp. by maceration method using alginic acid pathway. Alginate Padina sp.-polyethylene glycol (AP-PEG) alginate membrane was prepared with a ratio of PEG:AP = 1: 5, 1:10, 1:15 and 0:1 (w/w). The functional group analysis showed that the resulting AP-PEG membranes were predicted as a result of physical blending due to no new functional groups are formed. The membrane with a weight ratio of PEG:AP = 1:15 had the best characteristics, with a percentage of swelling of 1465.5%, stress of 14.588 MPa, 0.07 strain, and Young Modulus of 193.13 MPa. Morphological analysis showed that the membrane obtained had many cavities. The dissolution test showed that the AP-PEG membrane was able to release vitamin C of 78.12% for 60 minutes at pH 1.2 and no cracking was observed, while at pH 7.2 the membrane was able to distribute vitamin C by 83.54% and cracking occurs within 12 minutes. The results of this study indicate that AP-PEG composites can be made from brown seaweed and have good encapsulant capabilities.

Abstract

Bakteri patogen seperti Pseudomonas aeruginosa membutuhkan zat besi untuk dapat mempertahankan kelangsungan hidupnya. HasAp merupakan suatu protein yang dihasilkan oleh bakteri patogen sebagai sumber zat besi tersebut. Protein HasAp selanjutnya akan berikatan dengan protein membran luar yaitu HasR untuk dapat meneruskan sinyal pada sel bakteri. Penyerapan zat besi pada bakteri patogen ini dapat menjadi strategi pengembangan metode terapi dalam mengendalikan dan mencegah penyakit infeksi yang disebabkan oleh bakteri patogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, salah satunya dengan memanfaatkan ftalosianina sebagai photosensitizer pada terapi fotodinamika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi, mengevaluasi, dan mengeksplorasi mekanisme aksi senyawa ftalosianina terhadap protein HasAp, serta pengaruhnya pada bagian sisi aktif HasR dengan menggunakan studi in silico. Studi ligan-protein docking dilakukan dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak MGLTools 1.5.6 yang dilengkapi dengan AutoDock 4.2 untuk mengamati afinitas dan interaksi molekuler antara molekul senyawa Fe-ftalosianina (Fe-Pc) dan Ga-ftalosianina (Ga-Pc) terhadap makromolekul protein HasAp. Selanjutnya, studi protein-protein docking dilakukan terhadap sistem kompleks ligan-protein untuk mengamati pengaruhnya terhadap area pengikatan dari makromolekul protein HasR dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak PatchDock. Berdasarkan hasil ligan-protein docking, senyawa Fe-ftalosianina (Fe-Pc) memiliki afinitas paling baik terhadap kedua protein HasAp, yaitu dengan nilai masing-masing -68,45 kJ/mol dan -69,16 kJ/mol. Kemudian, hasil studi protein-protein docking antara kompleks senyawa Fe-ftalosianina (Fe-Pc) dan protein HasAp terhadap protein HasR memiliki nilai Atomic Contact Energy (ACE) positif, yaitu 556,56 kJ/mol. Perbedaan struktur molekul senyawa ftalosianina terbukti mampu mempengaruhi mekanisme aksi terhadap protein target, sehingga hasil studi ini dapat menjadi acuan dalam mendesain struktur senyawa ftalosianina sebagai kandidat photosensitizer dalam terapi fotodinamika.Identification of the Molecular Mechanism of Phthalocyanine Compounds as Photosensitizer Candidates in Photodynamic Therapy by In Silico. Pathogenic bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa need iron elements to be able to maintain their survival. HasAp is a protein produced by pathogenic bacteria as a source of iron. The HasAp protein will then bind to the outer membrane protein, namely HasR, to be able to forward signals in bacterial cells. Absorption of iron in these pathogenic bacteria can be a strategy for developing therapeutic methods in controlling and preventing infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, one of which is by using phthalocyanine as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy. This study aims to identify, evaluate, and explore the mechanism of action of phthalocyanine compounds against HasAp proteins, and their effects on the active site of HasR through in silico studies. Ligand-protein docking studies were performed using MGLTools 1.5.6 with AutoDock 4.2 to observe the affinity and molecular interactions between molecules of Fe-phthalocyanine (Fe-Pc) and Ga-phthalocyanine (Ga-Pc) against HasAp protein macromolecules. Furthermore, a protein-protein docking study of the ligand-protein complexes system was simulated to observe its effect on the binding area of the HasR protein macromolecules using PatchDock. Based on the ligand-protein docking results, Fe-phthalocyanine (Fe-Pc) compounds have the best affinity for both HasAp proteins, with a binding energy value of -68.45 kJ/mol and -69.16 kJ/mol, respectively. The protein-protein docking study results between the complex compound Fe-phthalocyanine (Fe-Pc) and HasAp protein against HasR protein have a positive Atomic Contact Energy (ACE) value, with an ACE value of 556.56 kJ/mol. Differences in the molecular structure of phthalocyanine compounds are proven to be able to influence the mechanism of action against the target protein. Therefore, the results of this study can be a reference in designing the structure of phthalocyanine compounds as photosensitizer candidates in photodynamic therapy.
