Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat metanol dari limbah cair tahu menggunakan proses fotoreduksi. Penelitian diawali dengan pembuatan fotokatalis TiO2-Zn menggunakan  teknik  fotodeposisi. Karakterisasi fotokatalis dilakukan menggunakan UV-Vis DRS dan FTIR. Optimasi kondisi fotokatalisis yang digunakan yaitu perbandingan mol  TiO2 : Zn (100:0  ;  99:1  ; 98:2  ;  97:3 dan 96:4) yang dipreparasi menggunakan metode fotodeposisi  dan pH limbah cair untuk proses fotokatalisis (2, 5, 7, 9 dan 13). Limbah cair organik akan didegradasi oleh fotokatalis TiO2-Zn dimana akan menghasilkan CO2. CO2 yang dihasilkan selanjutnya akan mengalami fotoreduksi menjadi metanol.Metanol yang dihasilkan dianalisis menggunakan kromatografi gas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa  metanol dapat dibuat dari limbah cair organik menggunakan fotokatalis TiO2-Zn. Hasil fotoreduksi CO2 dari hasil fotodegradasi limbah cair organik adalah metanol dengan kondisi optimum katalis TiO2 : Zn 98:2 dan pH limbah cair 2.

Abstract

Polycrystalline silicon was extracted from rice husk by thermal decomposition and aluminothermic methods. Rice husk was thermally decomposed under various heat treatments and acid purifications. High purity silica of 99.81% was obtained by subsequent rice husk washing, pressure cooking in mixed chloride acid peroxide solution, and burning at 500oC for one hour. Aluminothermic reduction of silica was conducted at various calcination temperatures. It is found that 78.6% of silica was converted to silicon for calcination temperature of 800oC. Leaching the reduction product with strong hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids produced silicon polycrystalline with a purity of 99.91%.

Abstract

The objective of this research were to study hydrophobicity and antibacterial activity of polyester fibers before and after modification by using silver nanoparticles as antibacterial agent and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) as self cleaning agent. The research was conducted in stages, chemical preparation of silver nanoparticles, deposit of silver nanoparticles on polyester fiber, modification of polyester fiber through the addition HDTMS, and characterization. Modification of polyester fibers with silver nanoparticles and HDTMS was conducted through dipping method, followed by curing. Characterization was conducted by testing the contact angle and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Escherichia coli ATCC 35218. Silver nanoparticles has been prepared by adding sodium citrate and polyvinylalcohol as stabilizer. The addition of silver nanoparticles decreased hydrophobicity of polyester fibers without and with modification. Modification with HDTMS increased hydrophobicity of polyester fibers. Modification with silver nanoparticles and HDTMS increased antibacterial activity of polyester fabrics. Statistic analysis showed that there were significant differences in the antibacterial activity of polyester fibers against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Escherichia coli ATCC 35218

Abstract

Biopulping is fungal pretreatment of wood chips to reduce unused chemical composition of material in pulping. Preliminary study showed that pretreatment of Phanerochaetachrysosporium to Acacia mangium Willd can reduce lignin and improve holocellulose and cellulose content of the material. Fiber dimension recognized as other important factor for paper properties. The question is how the integrity and dimensions of the wood fiber that has been pretreated with the fungus. The objectives of present study were to know effect of pretreatment of P. chrysosporium to the integrity and dimensions of the fiber. The P. chrysosporium was cultured for 14 days in growth medium, and inoculated to wood chips 5% (w/v) and incubated for 0, 15 and 30 days. The inoculated wood chips were chipped into 1 mm x 1 mm x 20 mm and macerated using franklin solution at 60 oC for 48 hours. Forty fibers from each incubated time were analized their physical damages using a light microscope at a 400 magnification. The inoculated fibers were measured theirs dimensions. The physical damage percentage of fibers pretreated using P. chrysosporium was 0%. Length and wall thickness of the pretreated fibers were can be categorized as middle class and thin fibers, respectively.

Abstract

This report presented the characterisation of white cement and TiO2-immobilised white cement prior and after photodegradation treatment. The study was also aimed at measuring the effectiveness of catalyst that was used during the photodegradation at various different reaction times. The characteristic of the white cement was evaluated by XRD, meanwhile the effectiveness of the catalyst was inferred from COD values. The results indicated that the white cement formed crystals with highest peak at 2ϴ 29.7990° and crystal size of 0.63140 nm. In addition, the highest peak of the TiO2-immobilized white cement before and after photodegradation was 2ϴ 29.4634° (crystal size 0.79209 nm) and 29.4735° (crystal size 0.64061 nm) respectively. Moreover, dissolved organic matter in landfill leachate reduced during the seven-hour photodegradation experiment as indicated by the decrease of 71.43% of the COD values.

Abstract

Geochemical fractionation of Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), Cobalt (Co), Zink (Zn), Iron (Fe) and Manganese (Mn) in sediment of the East China Sea were determined using four-stages of modified BCR sequential extraction method combination with ICP-MS. The total concentration of trace metals in sediment samples were in the following order: Fe >Mn>Pb> Zn > Co > Cd. Cd is present mainly in acid soluble fraction. Pb and Mn are in the group with presenting of easy reducible fraction and acid soluble fraction. Fe and Co were found in a group with mainly in residual fraction, while Zn was distributed in all four fractions. The highest contamination factors were found for Cd and Mn while the lowest were found for Fe and Co in almost station. The result showed low risk for Fe and Co in all station, Pb (except S2 and S3), Zn at S3,S6 and S7, and Mn at S1. A medium risk is indicated for Pb at S2 and S3, Zn at S1 and S5, and Mn at S2 and S6. A high risk showed for Zn at S2 and S4, and Mn at S4 and S5, while Cd at almost station (except S4) was very high risk.

Abstract

Paraquat is the most toxic herbicide, the main agricultural crops and plantations that use them are cloves, cocoa, oil palm, rubber, coffee, and pepper. Therefore, it is necessary to study to degrade paraquat compounds by photolysis method with using ZnO. Photolysis is a process of UV irradiation with a wavelength of 200-400 nm. In this study Photolysis method used UV light with λ = 365 nm. Degradation of paraquat compound was done with the influence of variation of time without the addition ZnO, the influence of ZnO additional variations, and the effect of combination between variations of time and optimization of ZnO addition. The result of the study shows that photolysis degradation product without the addition of ZnO for 120 minutes has been degraded by 12.56%. While the optimum addition of 0.1 grams ZnO increased the percentage of degradation which is about 57.64%. This is proved that the addition of ZnO with photolysis method can degrade more paraquat compounds.

The synthesis was carried out through Mannich reaction using p-t-butylphenol, paraformaldehyde, and piperazine. The product was characterized by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopic. Testing of antioxidant activity was done with the immersion of DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2 picrylhydrazyl) free radical method. The product was obtained as a white solid, with a point of 252,7-254,7 ºC and a yield of 65.76%. The test of antioxidant activity with DPPH method showed that 1,4-bis [(1-hydroxy-4-t-butyl-phenyl)-methyl]piperazin had the IC50 values was 0.84 nM. It means that the 1,4- bis[(1-hydroxy-4-t-butyl-phenyl )methyl]piperazine has potential as antioxidants.
