Abstract

A low-temperature hydrothermal synthesis technique was employed as a medium to produce ceria−zirconia mixed oxides particles at temperatures of 200–300 °C and pressure of 10 MPa in a batch process. At these conditions, the average crystallite sizes of ceria−zirconia mixed oxides increased slightly with increasing reaction temperature when the feed solution containing ceria and zirconia with a ratio of 1:1 was fed. SEM images illustrated that the morphologies of the ceria−zirconia mixed oxides particles were spherical and spherical−like with a diameter of around 100 nm. The EDX spectrum indicated that the signal corresponding to the ceria and the zirconia elements at 5 and 2 keV, respectively, were strongly detected in the products. The XRD pattern revealed that the mixed metal oxides particle products that comprised of cerium and zirconium oxides particles with cubic and monoclinic structures, respectively, were affected by their molar content in the feed solution.

Abstract

The presence of dog meat is a crucial issue because dog meat is non-halal meat for Muslims. The objective of this study was to design and validate species-specific primer for the identification of dog meat DNA in meatball using real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR). The specific primer targeting mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) was validated. The specific primers used were designed using Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) software and subjected to NCBI BLAST procedure. The candidate primers were tested for specificity study using several DNAs from fresh meat of pork, chicken, beef, lamb, and rat. The method was also validated by determining several parameters of linearity, sensitivity, precision, and efficiency. The results showed that primer could amplify specifically DNA target at an optimized annealing temperature of 56.6 °C. The limit of detection (LoD) obtained was 5 ng DNA, corresponding to 2.5% of dog meat in a meatball. The repeatability evaluation, expressed with relative standard deviation (RSD), and efficiency value was in the acceptable range (RSD < 25% and efficiency (90–105%). This method was successfully used for the analysis of marketed samples. Real-time PCR can be used as a standard method in halal authentication analysis through DNA analysis.

Abstract

The doping of TiO2 by Ag(I) from [Ag(S2O3)2]3– contained in radiophotography wastewater by photoreduction method has been performed. TiO2/AgNPs photocatalyst was examined for its activity as an antifungal material for the inhibition of C. albicans in water under visible light irradiation. In the doping process, the weight of TiO2 was varied to obtain TiO2/AgNPs with different amounts of Ag. The TiO2/AgNPs samples were characterized by using FTIR, SRUV, TEM, SEM-EDX, and XRD methods. The antifungal test was carried out by disc diffusion method under visible light irradiation, wherein the amount of Ag-doped on TiO2, the dose of TiO2/AgNPs, and the irradiation time were optimized. The research results indicated that the antifungal activity of TiO2/AgNPs in inhibiting C. albicans has been successfully prepared. The highest inhibition was achieved by using 0.5 g/L of TiO2/AgNPs (I), at 5 h of irradiation time.

Abstract

A study to improve the performance of andesite mortar and rock consolidated with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) sol and a solvent of ethanol in the presence of titanium tetraisopropoxyde (TTIP) and silica particles has been conducted. The improvements include minimizing the shrinkage using silica particles from rice husk ash, rheological property suitability of the consolidant, and mechanical properties of the consolidated mortar and rock. The effect of TTIP concentration, ethanol volume, and addition of the silica particles on rheological properties of TEOS-based consolidant, and also mechanical properties of the consolidated mortar and rock were evaluated. The results showed that the increase of TTIP content in the consolidant shortens the gelling time, and the weight percentage ratio of TTIP:TEOS:ethanol of 5%:55%:40% was the optimum composition for the consolidation. Consolidation of andesite block using that composition significantly increased the compressive strength up to 57.61% (0.58 kgf/mm2). The addition of 2% of silica particles into the consolidant decreased the gel shrinkage and increased the Young modulus of the mortar. The presence of water in the andesite matrix reduced the consolidation performance, and 0.5% was the maximum percentage of water content acceptable for the consolidation.

Abstract

Acid-alkaline treatment using acetic acid and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were applied on mordenite (MOR) to increase the Si/Al ratio and surface area properties. Various time treatment (3, 6, and 9 h) and concentration of acetic acid (6, 9, and 12 M) were used to treat MOR, and followed by the treatment with NaOH (0.1 M) under room temperature. The MOR and treated mordenite were applied as a catalyst for hydrotreatment of cellulose-derived bio-oil. The acetic acid treatment caused the increase of the Si/Al ratio of mordenite up to 27.03. The Si/Al ratio was determined using ICP-AES analysis which was also confirmed using FT-IR analysis. The acidity was determined using NH3 vapors adsorption. The acidity test revealed that as the Si/Al ratio increased the acidity of mordenite decreased. The advantage of using acetic acid for acid treatment was that the XRD patterns of mordenite can be preserved with a little decrease of the intensity. On the other hand, the NaOH treatment under room temperature decreased the crystallinity down to 68%, which was calculated using XRD. The acid-alkaline treatment of mordenite succeeded to increase the surface area 2 times larger than the parent mordenite. The surface area was obtained from BET analysis. The acid-alkaline treated mordenite exhibited better catalytic activity upon hydrotreatment of biomass-derived bio-oil compared to the parent mordenite which corresponded to its highest surface area.

Abstract

Wastewater produced from the electroplating industry generally consists of heavy metals mixture and organic materials that need to be treated before it can be discharged to the environment. Thus, the present investigation was focused on the selectivity removal of heavy metal mixtures consists of Copper (Cu), Cadmium (Cd), and Zinc (Zn). Several operating conditions, including the effect of pH and coagulant (FeCl3) dosage, were varied to find the best performance of heavy metal removal. Results show the efficiency of heavy metals removal for both wastewater characteristics were approximately 99%. The experimental data on the treatment of synthetic wastewater was plotted using polynomial regression (PR) via Excel software. The value of adjusted R2 obtained for the final concentration of Cu, Zn, and Cd after treatment were 0.6884, 0.9676, and 0.9283, respectively, which shows data were acceptably fitted for Cu and very well fitted for Zn and Cd. The coagulation/flocculation process performed on actual wastewater shows that the lowest final concentration of Cu, Zn, and Cd after treatment were 0.487, 1.232, and 0 mg/L respectively at pH of 12.

Abstract

In this work, we reported the synthesis of green-emissive composite materials of zinc oxide (ZnO) and isolated betacyanin pigment from red dragon fruit (RDF) extract utilizing organic linkers, i.e. (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane (CPTMS) and (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (APTMS). Betacyanin was extracted using a maceration technique, while CPTMS-ZnO and APTMS-ZnO were prepared by mixing ZnO and the respective organic linker in ethanol. The obtained ZnO/CPTMS and APTMS-ZnO composites were separately added into the RDF extract, followed by stirring at room temperature for 24 h. As high as 80 and 90% of betacyanin was successfully impregnated onto CPTMS-ZnO and APTMS-ZnO, respectively. A comparison study was made by preparing RDF-CPTMS and RDF-APTMS first and then introducing them onto ZnO. In this case, as high as 81 and 100% of betacyanin in RDF-CPTMS and RDF-APTMS, respectively, were impregnated onto ZnO. These results revealed that APTMS was a better organic linker than CPTMS and the order of the steps to introduce APTMS was important. The presence of betacyanin on the composite materials was confirmed by FTIR and fluorescence spectroscopy. All the composite materials had an excitation signal at 426–428 nm and emission signals at 459 and 517–518 nm, demonstrating their promising application as green-emissive materials.

Abstract

Malaria is a disease that commonly infects humans in many tropical areas. This disease becomes a serious problem because of the high resistance of Plasmodium parasite against the well-established antimalarial agents, such as Artemisinin. Hence, new potent compounds are urgently needed to resolve this resistance problem. In the present study, we investigated cycloguanil analogues as a potent antimalarial agent by utilizing several studies, i.e., comparative of molecular field analysis (CoMFA), molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. A CoMFA model with five partial least square regressions (PLSR) was developed to predict the pIC50 value of the compound by utilizing a data set of 42 cycloguanil analogues. From statistical analysis, we obtained the r2 values of the training and test sets that were 0.85 and 0.70, respectively, while q2 of the leave-one-out cross-validation was 0.77. The contour maps of the CoMFA model were also interpreted to analyze the structural requirement regarding electrostatic and steric factors. The most active compound (c33) and least active compound (c8) were picked for molecular docking and MD analysis. From the docking analysis, we found that the attached substituent on the backbone structure of cycloguanil gives a significant contribution to antimalarial activity. The results of the MD simulation confirm the stability of the binding pose obtained from the docking simulations.

Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a compound that can potentially be used as a carbon source in the synthesis of fine chemicals. However, the utilization of CO2 is still constrained due to its inert and stable nature. Therefore, the presence of a catalyst is needed in CO2 conversion. This study aims to synthesize copper impregnated mesoporous carbon (Cu/MC) as a catalyst for phenylacetylene carboxylation reaction with CO2 to produce phenylpropiolic acid. The synthesis of mesoporous carbon was performed via the soft template method. The as-synthesized Cu/MC material was characterized by FTIR, SAA, XRD, and SEM-EDX. BET surface area analysis of mesoporous carbon showed that the material has a high surface area of 405.8 m2/g with an average pore diameter of 7.2 nm. XRD pattern of Cu/MC indicates that Cu has been successfully impregnated in the form of Cu(0) and Cu(I). Phenylacetylene carboxylation reaction with CO2 was carried out by varying reaction temperatures (25, 50, and 75 °C), amount of catalyst (28.6, 57.2, and 85.8 mg), type of base (Cs2CO3, K2CO3, and Na2CO3), and variation of support. The reaction mixtures were analyzed by HPLC and showed that the highest phenylacetylene conversion of 41% was obtained for the reaction at 75 °C using Cs2CO3 as a base.

Abstract

In this study, silica derived from corncobs impregnated with sodium hydroxide to obtain sodium silicate was calcined, prepared, and employed as a solid base catalyst for the conversion of oils to biodiesel. The catalyst was characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscope Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) methods. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to characterize the biodiesel products. The optimum catalyst conditions were calcination temperature of 400 °C for 2 h, catalyst loading of 2%, and methanol: oil molar ratio of 12:1 at 60 °C for 60 min, that resulted in a yield of 79.49%. The final product conforms to the selected biodiesel fuel properties of European standard (EN14214) specifications. Calcined corncob-derived sodium silicate showed high potential for use as a low-cost, high-performance, simple-to-prepare solid catalyst for biodiesel synthesis.
