In this work, a facile enhanced property of Ag3PO4 photocatalyst using H2O2 for methylene blue photodegradation has been conducted. Ag3PO4 photocatalyst was synthesized using the co-precipitation method. Then, the photocatalytic activity and stability of Ag3PO4 were tested in the methylene blue degradation under the addition of an H2O2 30% solution. According to the results, the prolonged photocatalysis reaction led to a decrease in the catalysis ability of the Ag3PO4 photocatalyst. Meanwhile, the addition of 5 mL of H2O2 (AH-10% sample) tends to enhance the stability of Ag3PO4 photocatalyst with the dye removal percentage and recycling test were up to 90.3% and three recycle runs, respectively. The low stability of Ag3PO4 might be due to the catalyst photo-corrosion through Ag+ reduction. This research suggests that H2O2 is beneficial to inhibit the photo-corrosion of Ag3PO4 photocatalyst, even though released Ag ions that were caused by the excess addition of H2O2 oxidizing agent should be considered.

Telah dilakukan studi perbandingan adsorpsi-desorpsi nitrat dan sulfat pada bentonit termodifikasi. Adsorpsi dilakukan dengan mengocok adsorben dalam larutan adsorbat pada kondisi pH, waktu kontak dan konsentrasi optimum. Selanjutnya dilakukan studi desorpsi pada air dan asam sitrat yang menggunakan adsorben yang telah mengadsorpsi nitrat dan sulfat. Studi menunjukkan bahwa kapasitas adsorpsi dipengaruhi oleh muatan dan ukuran anion. Semakin kecil muatan dan ukuran anion, semakin besar kapasitas adsorpsinya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kapasitas adsorpsi: nitrat (0,032 mmol g-1) sulfat (0,020 mmol g-1). Pada studi desorpsi menunjukkan bahwa persentase pelepasan juga dipengaruhi oleh muatan dan ukuran anion, semakin besar muatan dan ukuran anion maka semakin mudah proses desorpsi. Persentase desorpsi dalam air pada waktu kesetimbangan adalah: sulfat (71,33%) nitrat (50,71%) dan dalam asam sitrat adalah: sulfat (95,76%) nitrat (59,05%). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelarutan anion dalam asam sitrat lebih besar dari pada air, hal ini merupakan persyaratan untuk aplikasi pupuk lepas lambat (SRF).

Industrial waste water area that flows in the River Flood Canal Semarang can affect the environment if not done processing. Membrane is one alternative water treatment technologies with the principle of filtration. The presence of fouling is a problem encountered in the use of the membrane. In this study will be made of non-fouling nanofiltration membranes made from cellulose acetate. Manufacture of cellulose acetate membrane is accomplished by phase inversion method, which is changing the shape of the polymer solid phase into the liquid phase rich in solvent into solids (membrane) which is rich in polymer. Therefore, the aim of this study was to create a non-fouling nanofiltration membrane using cellulose acetate polymer as well as assess the effect of PEG additives and pre-treatment with UV light to the surface of the structure and performance of cellulose acetate membranes for produced water treatment. Research using cellulose acetate membranes for wastewater treatment is done by varying the type of PEG 1500 and 4000, variations of PEG of 1, 3 and 5% by weight and a UV irradiation for 10, 20 and 30 seconds. The research followed by testing the performance of the membrane in wastewater treatment using a dead-end filtration with the parameters of flux and rejection. Characterization of the membrane was analyzed with SEM and FTIR. Analysis of the results was conducted to determine the levels of turbidity, TDS, COD, Ca2+, S2- and oil in waste water before and after passing through the membrane.

Ekstraksi asam humat dari kotoran kuda telah dilakukan dengan prosedur standar International Humic Substance Society (IHSS) di bawah atmosfer udara. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memanfaatkan asam humat kotoran kuda (AHKK) sebagai adsorben limbah logam Ni (II). Dugaan awal adanya Asam Humat dalam kotoran kuda dikarenakan kandungan lignin di dalamnya. Persentase ekstraksi asam humat murni dari kotoran kuda mencapai 0,4%. Interaksi AHKK dengan logam Ni(II) dilakukan dalam larutan. Aspek adsorpsi yang dipelajari meliputi pengaruh pH, waktu kontak, kinetika, kapasitas adsorpsi, dan model isoterm adsorpsi Asam Humat Kotoran Kuda terhadap logam Ni (II). Adsorpsi logam Ni (II) pada AHKK mengikuti model isoterm adsorpsi Langmuir. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Asam Humat dapat diekstraksi dari kotoran kuda, dan dapat mengadsorpsi logam Ni (II) pada situs aktifnya. Adsorpsi yang terjadi hanya pada lapisan tunggal, yang berarti situs aktif pada permukaan adsorben memiliki kemampuan adsorpsi yang sama dan terdistribusi secara merata.

To promote the student curiosity and understanding in the electrolyte medium was carried out using home-made Volta cell. The electrode materials were iron and carbon for anode (-) and cathode (+), respectively. The experiment was designed by two models that were single-chamber (SC) and three series-packed chambers (3-SCs), respectively. Electrolyte properties could be investigated in pineapple peel (Ananas comosus L.)-based electrolyte medium during the operating time of 8 hours, respectively. The measured-voltage of 2.63 and 2.60 of the 3-SCs system could turn on the LED lamp. However, in this study, the decrease of voltage and current were due to the oxidation process of the pineapple peel-based medium under air, room temperature, and normal pressure during the long-operating time of the experiment. Finally, this research expected to provide additional valuable experience and knowledge as same as to facilitate in information delivering to the students in understanding the electrolyte medium from the waste or natural sources.
