Abstract

Modern society demands industrial technology advances to produce products that have high durability and long utilization lives. Materials made from ferrous metal become a solution to meet these industry needs. Ferrous metal is corrosive and it requires more care to support the performance. Electroplating or metal coating applied to iron or nickel solves this problem. In the production process, the usage of nickel is only 30%-40% and the remaining 60-70% is wasted through effluent. Nickel is a toxic heavy metal that can cause cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of iron concentration on nickel metal removal in electroplating wastewater using an insulated electrolytic reactor double chamber electrodeposition cell (DCEC). The result of this study shows that any ratio variation of iron concentration to nickel gives varying impacts on nickel removal efficiency, electric current efficiency, and specific energy. On the fourth variation, the iron ratio of 1.29% removed 83.1% nickel (the highest removal efficiency) at the cost of 20.687 kWh / kg specific energy. The number is extremely high for energy needs. On the other hand, the variation of iron ratio of 1.73% consumpting only 15.067 kWh / kg, the lowest specific energy needs, resulted in the lowest removal efficiency of 63.6%.

Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the biggest causes of death in women in the world. Lime parasite (Dendrophtoe pentandra (L.) Miq.), a folk remedy used by Indonesian people, is believed to be efficacious as anticancer drug. This research aims to know the activity of n-hexane fractions of lime parasite in inhibiting the proliferation and apoptosis of T47D cells in vitro. Cytotoxic test with MTT method assay from n-hexane fractions used a multilevel concentration. Antiproliferative test was carried out by the method of MTT assay and cell doubling time was calculated at the time of duplication. Apoptotic test was done with concentration of 1 IC50and ½ IC50which was analyzed by flow cytometry. The results reveals that fractions of lime parasite have cytotoxic activity with concentration of IC50is included in moderatecytotoxic level. The result of the doubling time of the optimum fraction of n-hexane is in 31 hours with the concentration of ¼IC50. Results for the flow cytometry shows the fraction of n-hexane does not induce apoptosis in cells of T47D.  Those results show that the active fraction of lime parasite has cytotoxic activity which is able to inhibit proliferation, but does not induce apoptosis of T47D cell.

Abstract

We investigate the adsorption of atmospheric pollutants on germanene and silicene using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In this study, we use carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO) as the pollutant molecules. Electronic properties of germanene and silicene are explored to obtain a good understanding in the adsorption process. Our calculation results show both germanene and silicene provide an identical mechanism of adsorption. Germanene and silicene adsorb CO and NO spontaneously with physisorption and chemisorption types for CO and NO molecules, respectively. We also conduct the Mulliken charges calculations to evaluate the transformation of atomic charges due to the adsorption process. From Mulliken charge calculation results we can confirm the existence of charge transfer between the adsorbent materials and the pollutant molecules. This phenomenon lies behind the occurrence of the adsorption process.

Abstract

Cyanide compound is one of the organic material contained in wastewater of tapioca production, which is a highly toxic substance for life. According to the results of physical and chemical properties of liquid waste samples of tapioca starch in the deposition process in the industry taken from Pancasan Village, Ajibarang, Banyumas, cyanide concentration in the effluent was 3.8 mg/L while the maximum level of cyanide allowed in industrial wastewater are 0.5 mg/L. Therefore, a method to reduce the concentration of cyanide is needed. One of the method is using of TiO2 catalyst. This study was aimed to determine the effect of the pH and UV irradiation time on photocatalytic activity of TiO2 to reduce the levels of cyanide on tapioca wastewater from PT. HARUM BUNGA, Purbalingga.This study uses a thin layer of TiO2 photocatalyst prepared by suspension of TiO2 coating on the glass plate that was dried at 120ºC and conducted with variations of pH that were 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 13 in the wastewater to determine the optimum pH, continued by time variation of UV radiation for 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours. The results showed that the largest percentage decrease in the concentration of cyanide occurs at pH 9 that is equal to 88.6361% and the largest percentage decrease in the concentration of cyanide by irradiation with UV light occurs after 10 hours irradiation, up to 93.7929%.

Abstract

One of the effective methods for mineral destruction is by using microwave digestion. However, some parameters in the microwave manual book are different with AOAC method such as the volume of acid, temperature, and the length of destruction time (Δt). Thus, a validation for mineral analysis method of Fe, Zn, and Cu by using microwave digestion method is required. In this study, carbohydrate-rich samples such as rice and canned pineapple were being used for the validation of mineral analysis method of Fe, Zn, and Cu using microwave digestion. The parameters of this research include LOD, LOQ, LDM, linearity, precision, accuracy, and reproducibility. The accuracy result for Fe, Zn, and Cu mineral was found in the range of 75-120% with good precision value (% RSD <% 2/3RSD Horwitz). Based on the results, accuracy for mineral Fe, Zn and Cu found in the range of 75-120% with good precision value (% RSD <% 2/3RSD Horwitz). The regression curves of the Fe, Zn, and Cu minerals gave the value of R2> 0.990. For LDM values in the rice samples consecutively for Fe, Zn, and Cu minerals were 0,06; 0,07; 0,04 mg/L, while for the canned pineapple were 0,07;0,10;0,01 mg/L, respectively. The results of a modified method for minerals Fe, Zn and Cu analysis in carbohydrate-rich samples was not significantly different from AOAC (2012). Thus the method was acceptable to be used in laboratory analysis.
