Abstract

Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) has a potential for large energy storage system due to its independence of energy capacity and power generation. VRFB is known to have challenges of high price, corrosion problem and lower energy efficiency. In this work, VRFB prototype with all components from existing parts sold in the market has been assembled and tested. Estimated electrochemical reactions are discussed for initial charging process with Vanadium Pentoxide powder as initial state to obtain fully charged battery state with V2+ ion in anolyte and VO2 + ion in catholyte. Material corrosion testes were done by immersing the material in a Vanadium electrolyte and by using the material as a bipolar plate in the VRFB system. Immersion test showed that copper, steel, lead and zinc were corroded badly. In bipolar plate material test, stainless steel 316, aluminum and silver plates were corroded after some hours of electric charging process. Simple carbon plastic composites and 3-mm thickness graphite plates were tested in the bipolar plate material test and failed due to corrosion problem as well. In the VRFB prototype, corrosion problems occurred on brass nipples, polyurethane plastic pipes and porous silicone seals. Stronger plastic components and better quality of silicone seals are needed for VRFB. Significant finding of this study is possible spontaneous chemical reaction within anolyte tank as a potential of self-discharging reaction which other researchers have not identified. Also, another finding from this study is that good bipolar plate for VRFB is not easily available in the market.

Abstract

Health and environmental problems related to plastic food packaging are general problems. Edible film as food packaging from organic and edible materials can be a solution by increasing its structure and content. Modification of edible film from the protein of Velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens) with gelatin and alginate to modify the structure of the film and the addition of green tea leaf extract as an antioxidant. Edible films are made by combining constituent materials with the addition of a crosslink method. The addition of green tea leaf antioxidant concentration on nutritional properties, chemical properties, and shelf life of edible films through the DPPH method and antimicrobial tests showed good changes. The addition of gelatin, alginate, and green tea leaves to the mechanical and morphological properties of the film showed good indications. The effect before and after the addition of green tea leaves on the chemical structure of the edible film (OH‑ group) using FTIR analysis shows indications through changes in spectra. Modified velvet bean film with gelatin, alginate, and green tea leaves can potentially be applied in the food industry as food packaging.

Abstract

Semeru Banana peel is an organic waste that is exclusively utilized as animal feed and does not harm the environment. The primary component of banana peels is carbohydrates, which can be used as a substrate during the fermentation process to produce lactic acid. The fermentation of banana peel flour with Lactobacillus plantarum strain FNCC 0020 was the main focus of this investigation. Variations in the concentrations of the substrate and inoculum as well as the impact of the type of nitrogen on lactic acid concentration were investigated. According to research findings, the big banana peel contains 70.52% carbs, 5.68% soluble protein, 3.115% fat, 6.74% water, 2.395% ash, and 13.38% crude fiber. While the inoculum variable was 0.5% v/v and the best substrate concentration variable was 17.5% w/v, the best lactic acid concentrations were 5.401 g/L and 8.586 g/L, respectively, as determined by HPLC (High-Performance Liquid) analysis. Banana peel flour only includes a modest amount of nitrogen (0.8295%), sulfate (0.037 grams), phosphate (1.6105%), and vitamin B1 (0.2315%), so additional nitrogen sources must be added. The production of lactic acid is shown to increase with the addition of various forms of nitrogen, with ammonium sulfate and ammonium phosphate (2:1) producing the greatest yields of 9.781 g/L and 14.255 g/L, respectively, of lactic acid, which is lower than lactic acid from yeast extract.

Abstract

Red cabbage and white cabbage contain several beneficial compounds, such as anthocyanins that can scavenge free radicals. The study aimed to determine the effect of drying on anthocyanin content and antioxidant activity in red cabbage and white cabbage. Each cabbage will be given two pretreatments, namely: (1) drying, and (2) without drying. Maceration extraction using a mixture of water and methanol 50:50 (v/v) acidified with 7% citric acid with a liquid to solid mass ratio of 1:4 (w/v) and with a controlled temperature of 60°C for a period of 1 h. Cabbage extract was examined for anthocyanin content by differential pH method and antioxidant activity was tested by DPPH method. The results showed anthocyanin content in crude fresh red cabbage extract 64.124 mg/L, crude dried red cabbage extract 210.74 mg/L, crude fresh white cabbage extract 0.445 mg/L, crude dried white cabbage extract 0.584 mg/L. The antioxidant activity (IC50) of crude fresh red cabbage extract, crude dried red cabbage extract, crude fresh white cabbage extract, and crude dried white cabbage extract were 54,317 ppm, 49,464 ppm, 131,878 ppm, and 107,069 ppm, respectively. The optimum results were crude dried red cabbage extract with a yield of 25.2%, anthocyanin content of 210.74 mg/L, IC50 value of 49.464 ppm.

Abstract

This research was conducted to study the efficiency of residual calcium carbide as an adsorbent using a batch process to remove iron (II) from textile industrial waste. In this study, the iron (II) content in textile industrial waste was synthetically made using . The effluent was characterized using a standard method (atomic absorption spectrometry), while the functional groups responsible for the Adsorption of iron to the surface of the calcium carbide residue were observed using SEM and Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR). The SEM findings revealed a highly porous morphology. FTIR revealed the presence of various functional groups (OH, CH, C=C, and C-C). Factors affecting Adsorption, eg, contact time, adsorbent dose, pH, and iron concentration, were also studied. The maximum iron (II) ion adsorption was observed to occur at pH 6. Kinetic studies showed a good correlation and best suited the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Langmuir and Freundlich's isotherm model was used to describe the Adsorption of iron (II) on calcium carbide residues. The data obtained from the adsorption process most closely matched the Langmuir model with a correlation value of R^2 = 0.9959 and q_e=1.697 mg/g. with a pseudo-second-order kinetic model with a correlation coefficient value (R2), which is 0.9962 for an adsorbent mass of 7.5 g. The Adsorption of iron ions from textile wastewater synthesis solution using calcium carbide residues shows a physisorption mechanism.
