Phenol (C6H5OH) is a common contaminant in wastewater. In certain concentrations, phenol can inhibit the activity of microorganisms and give adverse effects tohumanhealth, such as liver and kidney damage, perfect heart rate, and lower blood pressure. In this study, phenol was degraded with andwithoutN-doped TiO2under photolysis UV-light (10 Watts, λ = 365 nm) and visible-light (13 watt Philips, lux= 1400, λ = 465-640 nm)irradiation. The reductionof phenol concentrationwas measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength 200-400 nm. Some parameters such as catalyst dose, irradiation timesand type of light sources were studied. The XRD and DRS UV-Vis characterization confirmthat the nitrogen modified of titania catalyst potentially actives in visible-light. The N-doped TiO2is able to catalyze and improve the efficiency of phenol degradation in photocatalysissystem. Phenol with initialconcentration 8 mg/L was degraded by 33.89% and 30.51% without catalyst and increased to be 90.8% and 67.80%by additionof 15 mg N-doped TiO2catalyst under UV-light and visible-lightfor 210 minutes photolysis, respectively. From the results,irradiation using UV-light achieveshigherefficiency than visible-lightonphenol degradation.

Natural pigment recently have interest to explore to reduce synthetic chemical effect for organism and environment. Mangostine (Garcinia mangostana L) is one of tropical fruit that have peel strong pigment, thus potent as new natural pigmen. Solvents including water, ethanol and methanol applied to extract mangostine peel pigment. The best solvent determined by measuring pigment filtrate using spectrophotometer. The highest absorbance data indicated the best solvent, i.e. more extract yielded by this solvent. The optimum concentration of the solvent for best extraction also investigated with the same procedure above, and finally the natural pigment obtained identified using paper chromatography. The best solvent investigated for extraction was ethanol at concentration 70%. The pigment extracted from mangostine peel proposed as pellargonidine 3-glycoside group of anthocyanin

This study aimed to prepare silver nanoparticles chemically, deposite silver nanoparticles on bacterial cellulose-chitosan-glycerol composite based rice waste water, as well as test the antibacterial activity of bacterial cellulose and its composite. Preparation of silver nanoparticles was conducted by chemical reduction of silver nitrate solution, as well as trisodium citrate as the reductor. Bacterial cellulose from rice waste water is fermented by the bacteria Acetobacter xylinum for 7 days. The dried bacterial cellulose was composited with chitosan and glycerol by immersion method on 2% of chitosan solution and 0.5% of glycerol solution. UV-Vis spectroscopy is used to determine the formation of silvernanoparticles and Particle Size Analyzer to test the size and particle size distribution. Characterization was conducted to bacterial cellulose and its composite included functional groups by FTIR, the mechanical properties by Tensile Tester, crystallinity by XRD, surface photograph by SEM, and antibacterial test against S. aureus and E. coli by the shake flask turbidimetry method. Silver nanoparticle characterization indicated that silver nanoparticles are formed at a wavelength of 421.80 nm, yellow, diameter particle size of 61.8 nm. SEM images showed that the surface of bacterial cellulose had deposited silver nanoparticles and antibacterial test showed an inhibitory effect of bacterial cellulose, bacterial cellulose-chitosan composite, and bacterial cellulose-chitosan-glycerol composite which are deposited silver nanoparticles against the growth of S. aureus and E. coli bacteria.

Deterjen pada umumnya tersusun atas surfaktan anionik seperti LAS (Linear alkyl Benzene sulphonate). pada percobaan ini LAS dapat menyerap sinar pada daerahuv dengan panjang gelombang maksimumnya adalah 223,5 nm. LAS dalam perairan dapat menimbulkan potensi masalah pencemaran.Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah sebagai salah satu alternatif penanganan masalah pencemaran limbah domestik dengan cara menguji kinerja bentonit alam dan bentonit termodifikasi kitosan dalam mengadsorpsi LAS. Untuk mengetahui bahwa kitosan telah bereaksi dengan bentonit maka diuji dengan FTIR dan XRD pada bentonit alam dan bentonit-kitosan. Kemudian  ditentukan waktu kontak optimum antara LAS dengan bentonit alam dan bentonit-kitosan. Serta penentuan isoterm adsorpsi LAS dengan bentonit alam dan bentonit-kitosan dengan cara membuat variasi konsentrasi larutan LAS. Uji kinerja bentonit alam dan bentonit-kitosan dalam mengadsorpsi LAS dilakukan dengan menggunakan sistem batch. Didapat waktu kontak optimum antara LAS berinteraksi dengan bentonit alam adalah 15 menit dengan kapasitas adsorpsi sebesar 3,265 mg/g. Sedangkan Waktu kontak optimum interaksi LAS dengan bentonit-kitosan terjadi pada waktu 15 menit dengan kapasitas adsorpsi sebesar 1,7mg/g. Dari hasil yang didapat maka dapat terlihat bahwa bentonit alam memiliki kapasitas adsorpsi yang lebih besar dibandingkan bentonit hasil modifikasi dengan  kitosan. Interaksi antara bentonit alam dan bentonit–kitosan dengan LAS terjadi secara fisik dengan energi adsorpsi bentonit alam dengan LAS adalah 19,31 KJ/mol dan energi adsorpsi bentonit-kitosan dengan LAS adalah 19,60 KJ/mol.

Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang pembuatan membran kitosan dan aplikasinya dalam pemisahan zat warna Rhodamin B. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik fisik serta kinerja membran kitosan yang dihasilkan dalam memisahkan zat warna Rhodamin B dengan variasi konsentrasi kitosan dan tekanan operasional. Penelitian ini diawali dengan pembuatan membran dengan variasi konsentrasi kitosan, yaitu 1-5%. Membran kitosan dibuat dengan mencampurkan kitosan dalam asam asetat 1% kemudian dicetak pada cawan petri. Uji karakteristik fisik membran meliputi, kekuatan tarik dan regangan membran menggunakan Autograph, dan morfologi serta ukuran pori membran menggunakan Scanning Eletron Microscopy (SEM). Kinerja membran meliputi nilai fluks dan rejeksi, diketahui dari pengukuran menggunakan alat uji membran “dead-end” dan UV-Visible Genesys 10. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa membran kitosan yang dihasilkan masuk dalam rentang membran ultrafiltrasi. Membran memiliki daya tegang dan regang yang tinggi dengan bertambahnya konsentrasi kitosan. Nilai tegangan (Load) yang diperoleh sebesar 0,1531–2,8571 kgf dan nilai regangan (Stroke) sebesar 2,86-5,48%. Semakin besar konsentrasi kitosan dalam membran akan menghasilkan fluks yang kecil. Nilai fluks terbaik dihasilkan oleh membran kitosan 1% pada tekanan 5 kg/cm2 yakni sebesar 38,372 L/m2 jam. Sedangkan nilai koefisien rejeksi tertinggi dihasilkan oleh membran kitosan 3% pada tekanan 1 kg/cm2 yakni sebesar 88,27%.

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a 32-amino acid polypeptide, a cardiac neuro hormone that specifically secreted from heart ventricle as a response towards the increase of volume and pressure in the heart. The determination of BNP concentration in patients blood is one of the method used to diagnose heart failure. An electrochemical immunosensor modified with the streptavidin/biotin system on screen printed carbon electrodes for the detection of the BNP antigen was developed in this study. Monoclonal anti-BNP capture antibody was immobilized on streptavidin-modified SPCEs to give a well oriented of antibody. Furthermore, a biotinylated anti-BNP that conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used as secondary antibody. The electrochemical signal produced by redox activity of substrate 3,3,5,5'-tetramethybezidine dihydrochloride (TMB/H2O2) was measured by differential pulse voltammetry. The BNP immunosensor showed a linear response between 1.0×10-2 and 1.0×102 ng/mL, and the limit of detection was 3.3 ng/mL. BNP immunosensor is a promising technology for the rapid and convenient detection of heart failure.
