Abstract

As the demand for fatty acids increases, the enzymatic process of triglyceride hydrolysis emerges as a promising technology. Compared to microbial lipase, utilization of plant lipase is more practical due to its ease of preparation and cost-efficiency. This work aimed to verify the degree of lipolysis of several novel lipase sources from plants. Novel lipase sources investigated were seeds of kapok (Ceiba pentandra), java almond (Sterculia foetida), pongam (Milletia pinnata), sea mango (Cerbera manghas), tamanu (Calophyllum inophyllum), latex of sea mango, aveloz (Euphorbia tirucalli), and jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus). Several acknowledged plant lipase sources were also compared, i.e. seeds of castor bean (Ricinus communis), physic nut (Jatropha curcas), rice bran (Oryza sativa), latex of frangipani (Plumeria rubra) and papaya (Carica papaya). Plant lipase was utilized in the hydrolysis of olive oil at room temperature. Results for seed and latex lipase were compared and technical issues were reported. Several plant lipases are remarkably active and potential to compete with microorganism lipases in industrial applications.

Abstract

Ni(Co)/Pd nanosized ternary composite materials have been synthesized by the galvanic replacement method. The structure and phase composition of the obtained Ni(Co)/Pd nanostructures were investigated using SEM, EDX and X–ray powder diffraction. The catalytic activity of the synthesized polymetallic Ni(Co)/Pd nanoparticles was studied using the example of the reduction reaction of p–nitrophenol with NaBH4 solution. It was found that in all cases the process of reduction of p–nitrophenol NaBH4 in the presence of Ni(Co)/Pd nanoparticles as a catalyst is described by the first-order kinetic equation for p–nitrophenol. The catalytic activity of the studied nanoparticles based on nickel (Ni) is varied in the following order: Ni < Ni(Co) < Ni(Pd) < Ni(Co)/Pd. It was shown that the decoration of nanoparticles based on d–elements (Ni, Co) with palladium (Pd) significantly increases of their catalytic activity. Moreover, the reduction rate of p–nitrophenol in the presence of Ni(Co)/Pd is almost three times higher, compared to effective catalytic systems known from the references, i. e., such nanosystems can be considered as promising material for the development of new types of magnetically separable catalysts for the production of aminoaromatic compounds.

Abstract

To enhance the TiO2 anatase's ability to degrade nitrogen oxides (NOx), this study seeks to optimize the photocatalytic activity, selectivity, and DeNOx index of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles through surface modification using metallic and bimetallic (Cu dan Pt) photodeposition. The samples' photocatalytic performance is assessed by NOx abatement measurement, while their characteristics are analyzed using UV-Vis diffuse reflectance and an X-ray diffractometer. According to the measurement, S6 (0.05% Pt/TiO2) has a photonic efficiency of 0.17 for the degradation of NOx, which is 2.15 times higher than bare TiO2. The DeNOx index, which combines selectivity and photonic efficiency, suggests that S9 (0.05% Pt + 0.1% Cu/TiO2) is the most effective sample in the visible light region, with a value of 0.01. Under broadband illumination, S6 has a DeNOx index of 0.13, which is the highest among all samples, while S9 has a moderate-level DeNOx index of 0.019. All samples have a higher DeNOx index than the bare anatase TiO2 nanoparticles. Bimetallic samples exhibit the best performance under visible light, whereas Pt-modified TiO2 anatase performs best in the broadband light range.

Abstract

Indonesia and other countries have used coal as their main energy source for many years. Due to variances in coal formation, maturity, and geological history, each basin may have a range in coal quality. It houses unique coal basins—South Sumatra, Central Sumatra, Riau, and Aceh—each marked by distinct geological features. Variations in coal formation, maturity, and geological history contribute to quality differences. The analysis of coal quality plays a crucial role in determining its suitability for various applications, including power generation, industrial processes, and export purposes. This study focuses on the coal characteristics of Riau (Coal A), Bengkulu (Coal B), South Sumatra (Coal C), and Jambi (Coal D), evaluating parameters such as calorific value, moisture content, and sulfur content. Employing ASTM-based analysis methods, results reveal that Coal D exhibits the lowest sulfur but has a diminished calorific value, while Coal A boasts a higher calorific value but the highest total sulfur content. Understanding such distinctions is crucial for determining coal's suitability for diverse applications like power generation, industrial processes, and exports. Hopefully, this research could help in estimating the economic potential of these basins, identifying areas with higher-quality coal, and planning future exploration and development activities.

Abstract

Xylanase is a type of enzyme that hydrolyzed of β-1,4 glycosidic bonds in xylan, breaking it down into its constituent monomers. Xylanolytic enzymes are pivotal in processes such as bio-bleaching of pulp, textile manufacturing, and the recycling of waste paper. Successful bioconversion of xylan or lignocellulose relies on the collaborative action of various xylanolytic enzymes, including endo-xylanase, β-xylosidase, and other accessory enzymes. Docking simulations using Auto Dock 4.2 were conducted to analyze the interaction between ligands and xylanase, utilizing PDB 1B3V and 1FCE. Ligand interaction with xylanase was further investigated through molecular dynamics. The xylanase from Penicillium simplicissimum (PDB 1B3V) exhibited comparable affinities for α-D-xylopyranose and β-D-xylopyranose. In contrast, the xylanase from Clostridium cellulolyticum (PDB 1FCE) demonstrated a stronger affinity for β-D-glucopyranose than for 4-thiouridine. Molecular dynamic investigations indicated the stability of both structures against the tested ligands. These findings provide a foundation for potential experimental validations and the application of molecular mechanics techniques. Such approaches could unveil the detailed catalytic mechanism and bolster the industrial efficacy of the enzyme.

Abstract

Cooking oil frequently used by the community is palm oil. When heated repeatedly, this oil can produce acrolein, a compound that contributes to the formation of acrylamide. Water Hyacinth cellulose contains -OH groups capable of binding to acrylamide. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding Water Hyacinth cellulose as an adsorbent and to evaluate the impact of soaking time and cellulose weight on acrylamide levels. The analysis was conducted using HPLC, with a mobile phase consisting of methanol and 0.1% phosphoric in a ratio of 5:95, at a flow rate of 1mL/min; the volume of the injected sample was 20 µL. Acrylamide in oil was identified at a retention time of 4.700 minutes. The regression equation obtained from the acrylamide calibration curve is y=229.52 x + 10.472 with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9988. This study concluded that soaking for 24 hours can reduce acrylamide levels by 69.13%, and using 6 grams of cellulose can reduce acrylamide levels by 75.15%.

Abstract

This research aims to study the extent of bioaccumulation of the heavy metal Pb by mangrove plants (Rhizopora apiculata) in the waters of Poka Village, Ambon Bay. Mangrove plants were chosen because they can naturally accumulate heavy metals around their roots. In this study, sediment grains were measured using a Sieve Shaker, the content of Pb metal in sediment and parts of mangrove plants was determined using AAS, while the bioaccumulation value of Lead metal (Pb) by mangrove plants was calculated using the BCF and TF formulas. The results showed that the particle size in gravel ranged between 0.00-0.13%, sand 20.44-66.35%, and mud 33.65-79.56%. Lead (Pb) levels in Poka Village waters in sediment ranged from 10,925-16,925 mg/kg, roots ranged from 0.5-21.35 mg/kg, and leaves ranged from 0-4,675 mg/kg. Meanwhile, the BCF value at sampling point 1 = 0.03, sampling point 2 = 1.40 and sampling point 3 = 0.56, the TF value at sampling point 1 = 7.8, sampling point 2 = 0.03 and sampling point 3 = 0.09. This shows that mangrove plants function as phytoextraction and can be used as phytoremediation agents to accumulate the heavy metal lead (Pd) from waters.

Abstract

This research focuses on extracting cellulose from thorn pandan and evaluating its potential as a raw material for cellulose acetate. Thorn pandan contains polysaccharides, especially cellulose. In its fabrication process, cellulose acetate is produced from cellulose acetylation reaction. Cellulose is extracted using the Microwave-assisted Extraction method with variations in NaOH concentration (1, 2, and 3%), H2O2 concentration (10, 20, and 30%), and time variables (20, 40, and 60 minutes). Extraction optimization was performed with Response Surface Methodology (RSM) model BBD (Box-Behken Design). Several characterizations were carried out to determine the characteristics of cellulose acetate, namely Degree of Acetylation, FT-IR spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The highest cellulose yield obtained in the extraction process was 50.7% with a variable of 3% NaOH, 30% H2O2 and 60 minutes. XRD analysis shows the angle value 2θ = 22.53798° of thorn pandan cellulose structure is almost similar to commercial cellulose. FTIR functional group identification of cellulose acetate showed the presence of carbonyl (C=O) and (C-O Acetyl) group, respectively seen at wave numbers 1734 cm-1 and 1256 cm-1. The acetyl content of cellulose acetate from thorn pandan produced is 35.475%. Therefore, thorn pandan biomass has the potential as a raw material for making cellulose acetate.
