Abstract

Liquid waste is the main source of contamination of water bodies, especially river water. This pollution causes decreased water quality in water bodies. One of the wastewater treatment treatments is the Multi Soil Layering (MSL) method. Some of the advantages of using the MSL method are that it is known to be cheap in terms of cost, easy to implement, does not require complicated maintenance so that it can be used continuously, and is also environmentally friendly. One of the constituent materials of the MSL reactor is andesol soil, gravel, and pearlite. MSL has two wastewater treatment zones, the aerobic zone, and the anaerobic zone. The article review aims to compare the efficiency of reducing the levels of pollutant parameters from aerobic and anaerobic processes in MSLmethod in wastewater.

Abstract

Research on the extraction of chemical components of Dengen (Dillenia serrata Thumb) leaves using the MAE (microwave-assisted extraction) method and activity as an antioxidant and toxicity test has been carried out. This study aimed to extract the chemical components of Dengen leaves using the MAE method and to test the antioxidant activity and toxicity of the ethanol extract of Dengen leaves. The chemical components of Dengen leaves were extracted by the MAE method and obtained ethanol extract with a yield of 47%. Dengen leaves ethanol extract was partitioned with n-hexane and ethanol as solvents and obtained yields of 5% (n-hexane) and 65% (ethanol). The chemical components of Dengen leave ethanol extract were identified by phytochemical screening. The results of phytochemical screening showed the presence of secondary metabolites of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, polyphenols, terpenoids, and steroids. The antioxidant activity test of the ethanol extract of Dengen leaves was carried out using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrihydrazil) method and obtained the value of IC50 = 100,363 ppm (strong antioxidant). A toxicity test of the ethanol extract of Dengen leaves was carried out using the BSLT (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) method and obtained the value of LC50 = 18.3443 ppm (very toxic).

Abstract

Physical and chemical factors influence antioxidant activity. One of the physical factors that can affect antioxidant activity is heat. This study aims to determine the phytochemical content and the effect of heating the crude extract of marine macroalgae Padina australis on antioxidant activity. The research method used, namely maceration using methanol as a solvent to obtain a crude extract, then evaporation of the solvent at a temperature of 45 °C. Furthermore, phytochemical tests were carried out, characterization using TLC and UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and determination of free radical scavenging activity of DPPH. The results of the phytochemical test showed that the crude extract of Padina australis was positive for bioactive compounds, namely saponins, alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, and flavonoids. Characterization by TLC and UV-Vis spectrophotometer showed the presence of secondary metabolites, namely chlorophyll a and carotenoids. The use of temperature in the solvent evaporation process affects the stability of bioactive compounds and secondary metabolites. The results of the antioxidant activity test (IC50) of the crude extract of Padina australis against DPPH obtained 163 ppm, so it is classified as an antioxidant in the medium category.

Abstract

The adsorption of Bismarck Brown R (BBR) dye has been conducted using mesoporous silica (MCM-48). We synthesized the adsorbent using Ludox HS-40 as a silica source and surfactants of Cetyl Trimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) and Triton X-100. The characterization of MCM-48 was performed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Various contact times were used to study the adsorption kinetics, and concentrations were used to study the adsorption isotherm. The optimum contact time of Bismarck Brown R dye was 120 minutes, and the adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order model. Based on the equation Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms, the adsorption capacity values of each are obtained 158.7301 mg g-1 and 4.3601 mg g-1. Our results showed that the material can be used as a new dye adsorbent.

Abstract

The impact of reactions free radical compounds can cause various health problems such as inflammation, aging, and cancer. Therefore, to avoid damage caused by free radicals, the body needs an important substance, antioxidants. Natural antioxidants are more recommended than synthetic antioxidants because synthetic antioxidants must be in accordance with the prescribed dose because they can cause side effects that are harmful to the body. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of the extract and fraction of the Pelawan (Tristaniopsis merguensis Grifft.) stem extract. Antioxidant testing was carried out using the DPPH method on extracts and fractions of Pelawan stem extract (T. merguensis Grifft.). In addition, qualitative phytochemical testing was also carried out on extracts of the stems of Pelawan (T. merguensis). The results of the three solvent fractions, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol, were positive for flavonoid and phenolic secondary metabolites. Meanwhile, the antioxidant activity in reducing DPPH radicals in the methanol extract fraction of pelawan stems had a very strong activity with an IC50 value of 36.33 g/mL, while the ethyl acetate and n-hexane extract fractions had a very weak antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 387.43 μg/mL dan 759.88 μg/mL.

Abstract

Modifying the methoxyl group on pectin from Siam orange peel (Citrus nobilis) has been done. Pectin was obtained from the peel of Siam orange by extraction method. The modified pectin obtained were analyzed using the FT-IR (Fourier Transform-Infra Red Spectroscopy) method, the XRD (X-Ray Diffractometry), and surface appearance images using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). Pb(II) and Cr(VI) metals which can be adsorbed by the adsorbent then analyzed by UV-Visible Spectrophotometer. The results of the FT-IR analysis was found that the modification of the methoxyl group was successful. XRD analysis showed that the modified pectin adsorbent produced amorphous properties. The maximum pH for Pb(II) adsorption was obtained, namely pH = 6 and the maximum pH for Cr(VI) adsorption was pH =7. The best adsorption time variation for Pb(II) was 240 min and for Cr(VI) was 500 min. The best adsorbent for adsorption of Pb(II) was base-modified pectin adsorbent, while the best adsorbent for adsorption of Cr(VI) was base-modified pectin adsorbent. It could be proven that base-modified pectin was able to adsorb Pb(II) and acid-modified pectin was able to absorb Cr(VI) better (Pb(II) 80% adsorption percentage and 90% Cr(VI) adsorption percentage) than previous studies, namely pectin without modification (adsorption percentage obtained 60-70%).

Abstract

Infectious diseases caused by microorganisms are the main cause of high morbidity and mortality in the world. One of the plants that have the potential as an antiseptic is a lahuna leaf. Lahuna leaves contain active antibacterial compounds and the addition of betel leaf to the liquid soap formulations can strengthen the activity of the antiseptic produced. The purpose of this research is to test the effectiveness of liquid soap formulations of lahuna leaves and betel leaves as an antiseptic. The methods used include phytochemical screening, physical observation of liquid soap formulations, and antibacterial activity tests using agar diffusion methods. The results of the phytochemical analysis showed that lahuna leaves contain flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, and alkaloids, while betel leaves contain flavonoids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, and alkaloids. The liquid soap formulation of lahuna leaves and betel leaves has a clear yellow color, distinctive aroma, liquid form, rough taste, and lots of foam and has very strong inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus which is characterized by clear zones formed for each formulation I (22.4 mm), formulation II (21.8 mm) and formulation III (20.1 mm). These results indicate the potential of liquid soap formulations of lahuna leaves and betel leaves as antiseptic soap.
