Abstract

The use of natural ingredients in sunscreen products is increasingly developed due to safety and eco-friendliness compared to synthetic agents. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the physical properties and SPF values of cream formulations containing leaf and fruit extract of Crescentia cujete L. The experimental method included cream formulation, SPF evaluation in vitro using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and physical quality testing comprising organoleptic, homogeneity, emulsion type, spreadability, adhesion, pH, and viscosity. The results showed that formulation with leaf extract had the highest SPF value of 15.60 (medium protection category), indicating the potential of Crescentia cujete L. leaf as active ingredient in herbal-based sunscreen cream.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of flow rate on the reduction of hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) in electroplating wastewater treated with a TiO2-immobilized resin in a continuous fixed-bed reactor. The electroplating wastewater, characterized by Cr6+, was treated with RIPT-TiO2 functioning as a catalyst to enhance the contaminant degradation process. The flow rate was then examined to observe the effect on the reduction of Cr6+ concentration during the reaction. The results showed that increasing the flow rate within the range of 40–70 mL/min affected the reduction of Cr6+, and ultimately influenced the photocatalytic efficiency. The flow rate affected the contact time between the wastewater and the catalyst. The best removal efficiency, reaching 50.83% at 180 minutes, was obtained at a lower flow rate. This study provides important contributions to the development of sustainable and efficient electroplating wastewater treatment technology using a continuous reactor system with a TiO2-immobilized resin.

Abstract

Photocatalysis is a process that can be used to reduce hexavalent chromium in wastewater. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of a semiconductor in the form of Resin Immobilized Photocatalyst (RIP)-TiO2 on the reduction of Cr (VI), as well as the effect of pH and catalyst mass. In the process, RIP-TiO2 was produced using rutile crystal TiO2 and cation resin. The study was conducted in a column bed with continuous flow and UV lamp irradiation. Sampling was performed every 5, 15, 45, and 60 minutes, as well as the use of 30 and 40 g of RIP-TiO2. The statistical results from a Two-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed no significant differences in pH variation and catalyst mass. However, the best operating conditions were obtained at pH 5 and a catalyst mass of 40 g with a removal rate of 21.32%. These results suggested that pH adjustment had no significant effect on the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) using RIP-TiO₂ catalyst in the photocatalytic process. Further studies are needed to evaluate other factors, such as UV light intensity, contact time, and physical characteristics of the catalyst, capable of improving the efficiency of the RIP-TiO₂ system.
