Abstract

The use of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as an adsorbent has challenges to overcome. Although rGO has a large surface area, its solubility in water is very low. In this study, bentonite is added to reduce the use of rGO mass and increase the dispersibility of the adsorbent. The rGO-bentonite (rGOB) was characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, and XRF. The adsorption activity was tested in a Pb ion solution, derived from AAS. The XRD pattern of GO, rGO, and rGOB of 2q were observed at 10.90°, 24.88°, and 26.66°, respectively. The FTIR spectrum showed that GO has C=C, C-O, C=O, and O-H, while in rGO, C=O disappears, and there was a significant decrease in the O-H and C-O peaks. The rGOB has identical spectra with rGO and yet has an additional peak from bentonite O-Si-O. The GO and rGO form agglomerate while rGOB looks more dispersed. The C/O ratio increases from GO to rGO because of the reduction process. The bentonite is Ca-bentonite with main components Al2O3, SiO2, and CaO. The results showed that the rGOB composite could reduce the use of rGO by up to 80% and have an adsorption performance similar to rGO with an adsorption capacity of 217 mg/g.

Abstract

The nitrovanillin azine (NA) has been successfully synthesized and examined as a colorimetric chemosensor for sulfide anion detection. The NA was synthesized using two steps reaction. Vanillin was reacted with concentrated nitric acid to form 5-nitrovanillin (NV) then the NV was condensed with hydrazine hydrate to produce the NA. The NA was obtained and fully elucidated by FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and GC-MS spectrometer. The NA activity for anionic chemosensor was then carried out on several anions such as F⁻, Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻, S2⁻, CN⁻, HCO3⁻, AcO⁻, H2PO4⁻, N3⁻, NO2⁻, SCN⁻, ClO3⁻, and NO3⁻. The chemosensor tests showed NA was only selective for S2− in DMF:HEPES buffer (9:1, v/v, 10 mM, pH = 7.4) giving color change from light yellow to dark green. The LOD value was 1.43 × 10−5 M and the interaction model of NA-S2− indicated deprotonation mode between the -OH group with sulfide anion in a ratio of 1:1. The NA chemosensor can be applied for qualitatively analysis of sulfide anion using filter paper strips and quantitatively analysis of sulfide anion in tap water.

Abstract

Sida rhombifolia belongs to the Malvaceae family and is often used to treat gout in Indonesia. S. rhombifolia has many efficacies and contains many different chemical components. The abundance and variation of chemical content and chemical compounds in this medicinal plant are challenging factors in ensuring medicinal plants' safety and quality control. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) fingerprint analysis derived from S. rhombifolia extract can also be used for the medicinal plant's quality control. This research aimed to develop the optimum condition for the chemical fingerprint analysis of S. rhombifolia using a TLC fingerprint analysis. A total of 11 bands were produced with optimum separation using silica gel 60 F254 TLC plate, a mixed mobile phase condition with chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol (6.5:2:1.5). This fingerprint analysis performed an excellent separation in the TLC plate at 366 nm with sulfuric acid as reagent derivatization. In general, the results of the analysis validation, including stability, specificity, precision, and robustness of TLC fingerprints, met the acceptance criteria. The TLC fingerprint of S. rhombifolia can be distinguished from 2 related plants with similar leaf shapes, Turnera ulmifolia L. and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. The developed method was validated, so it could be used to control S. rhombifolia quality.

Abstract

Despite the widespread use of ionic polymer flocculants in sugar refineries, there is still insufficient knowledge on the relationship between the polymer properties and the efficiency of flocculation. This paper describes the performance of poly(sodium acrylate-co-acrylamide) (poly(SA-co-AAm)) as an anionic flocculant in the flocculation–coagulation of sugarcane juice from the sugar factory Gempolkrep PTPN X Mojokerto. Poly(SA-co-AAm) was successfully prepared via free radical polymerization of sodium acrylate and acrylamide with respective molar ratios of 40:60, 50:50, and 60:40, and compared with the commercial flocculant Accofloc. It was found that the mud height of the sugarcane decreased with increasing SA:AAm ratio. However, mud height increase was observed with further increasing SA:AAm ratio. Furthermore, increasing the flocculant dosage did not induce any significant change in the mud height and pH. The total dissolved solids (TDS) significantly decreased when the ratio of sodium acrylate:acrylamide was changed from 40:60 to 50:50, whereas a further change to 60:40 increased the TDS value again. It is also noticed that the tendency of turbidity is consistent with the TDS value. These results demonstrate that poly(SA-co-AAm) is a feasible alternative to the commercial flocculant owing to its good flocculation–coagulation performance with an optimum SA:AAm ratio of 50:50.

Abstract

In this study, ZnO thin films doped with Al (AZO) and Cu (CZO) were fabricated on a glass substrate via sol-gel spin coating. The influence of 1 atomic % Al and Cu doping on the structure, morphology, as well as optical properties of ZnO thin film was then analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and UV-Vis spectroscopy. XRD analysis revealed that all samples possessed hexagonal wurtzite crystal structures with 3 to 4 preferred orientations. Al and Cu doping caused a decrease in crystal size, while the lattice strain (e) and dislocation density (ρ) were increased. AFM indicated that Al and Cu doping reduced the surface roughness of the ZnO thin film. Optical measurement showed that all samples exhibited high transmittance (> 80%) in the visible light region. Transmittance was reduced after doping, while the band gaps for ZnO, AZO, and CZO thin films are 3.26, 3.28, and 3.23 eV. This study showed that an addition of 1 atomic % transition metal (Al and Cu) greatly influences the structure, morphology, and optical properties of ZnO thin film.

Abstract

This study is the first review of current research on microplastics (MPs) in the marine environments at the national scale in Indonesia from 2015 to 2022. This review was conducted to measure the environmental risk and highlight the waste management issue in Indonesian waters. Our literature study found that: (1) the MPs research was mainly conducted in the western part of Indonesia, especially in Java Island; (2) current research has primarily focused on coastal waters (98%) rather than the deep-sea area (2%); (3) the comparability of data is still hampered by difference in quality, about 67% of articles published have not carried out the polymer confirmation; (4) MPs concentrations reported on the articles that did not carry out the polymer identification tended to report higher MPs concentrations. Finally, we propose to have a standard guideline for MPs analysis at a national level and to do more research in the eastern part of Indonesia and deep-sea areas. Further research is required to fill research gaps on plastic distribution and density in deep-sea areas in the eastern part of Indonesia.

Abstract

Chemical phosphorylation of hydrolysate resulting from hydrothermal carbonization of chicken feather waste was performed to enhance the amino acids and reduce the metal ions content. The aim of this research is to improve the functional properties of chicken feathers hydrolysate without impairing the nutritional availability thereof with the cheapest chemical method by phosphorylation. Phosphorylated hydrolysate can function as animal feed and fertilizer. The hydrolysate of chicken feathers was obtained by hydrothermal carbonization in an alkaline condition using a CaO and KOH catalyst, by the ratio of water:dry matter of chicken feathers is 5:1, at 9–10 atm pressure, and in a temperature of 190–200 °C during 3 h. Phosphorylation has been carried out by reacting the hydrolysate with H3PO4 85% in pH of 5, 6, 7 and using the original hydrolysate as control. The sample that has been prepared was characterized and semi-quantitative analyzed by HPLC and AAS. The phosphorylation results showed that the total maximum protein of soluble protein, their minimum metal ions, and anion in soluble protein was obtained at pH 7, while the higher the pH, the lower the liquid protein that was obtained.

Abstract

The fabrication, optimization and validation of measurement using a modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) with dibenzo-18-crown-6 were carried out for the determination of paracetamol in commercial products. The pH, dibenzo-18-crown-6 concentration in carbon paste, and scan rate parameters were optimized. Validation of the measurement was observed from linear concentration range, LoD, LoQ, precision, and percentage of the recovery. The result showed that the optimum pH was at 2, the optimum concentration of dibenzo-18-crown-6 in carbon paste was 0.6%, optimum scan rates were 35 mV/s for CPE, and increased to 50 mV/s using modified CPE. The linear concentration range for CPE was obtained at 10-300 µM with LoD and LoQ of 28.88 and 96.28 µM, respectively. Meanwhile, CPE modified with dibenzo-18-crown-6 gave wider linear concentration range at 1–700 µM with LoD and LoQ of 52.36 and 174.53 µM, respectively. The CPE and modified CPE had good precision, with Horwitz ratio values of less than two. The percentage of recovery for two samples with three replicates measurements was obtained (89.81 ± 1.38)% and (108.02 ± 0.42)% for samples A and B, respectively. Dibenzo-18-crown-6 modified CPE was used for the determination of paracetamol in both samples yielding 97–98% compared with the paracetamol composition on its labels.

Abstract

Plasmodium species are the infectious agents that are responsible for malaria, a disease that claims the lives of approximately 400,000 people annually. The fact that drug resistance against malaria is on the rise suggests that new antimalarial compounds need to be discovered. It is well known that medicinal plants present the best opportunity for the identification of novel antimalaria chemicals. Both the Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) and Peperomia pellucida (L. Kunth) species have been tested for their antiplasmodial ability against the Plasmodium falciparum strain. The P. pellucida (L. Kunth) species has also been subjected to in vitro and in vivo biological research. P. pellucida was used to isolate the steroid known as 3-hydroxy-24-ethyl-5,22-cholestadiene (1) and the triterpenoid known as 3-hydroxy-9-lanosta-7,24E-dien-26-oic acid (2). Both compounds were then tested for their activity in vitro. In the mice model, triterpenoid 2 had a substantial chemo-suppressive impact.

Abstract

Microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis has an impact on the characteristics of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCCs). In this study, NCCs was prepared from banana peduncles through hydrolysis of sulfuric acid (concentrations of 1, 2, and 3 M) and hydrolysis time (0.5 and 1.5 h) assisted by microwave and ultrasonic energy to obtain the best NCCs. The characterization of NCCs properties, namely, yield, morphology, functional groups, crystallinity, heat resistance, particle size, and color. The results showed that the yield of NCCs decreased as sulfuric acid concentration and the time length of hydrolysis increased. The FTIR spectra of NCCs showed the most relevant molecular bands, namely O–H, C–H, and C–O, at the wavenumbers range of 3200–4000, 2500–3200, and 500–1500 cm−1, respectively. The TGA test showed that the decomposition of NCCs occurred at a temperature of 275.35–409.40 °C, with a weight loss ranging from 84.00% to 94.09%. Crystallinity index and crystal sizes range from 53.99% to 57.33% and 22.35 to 36.28 nm, respectively. The brightest color of NCCs powder was generated with 1 M sulfuric acid and a hydrolysis time of 0.5 h. In conclusion, barangan banana peduncles waste can be used as raw material for producing NCCs.
