Abstract

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the capacity of C-4-methoxyphenyl-calix[4]resorcinarene in impeding the development of CaCO3 crust at varying concentrations of the inhibitor and different durations of contact. The research employed a seeded experimental approach using a 0.1 M CaCO3 growth solution maintained at 80 °C. The concentrations of C-4-methoxyphenyl-calix[4]resorcinarene introduced into the CaCO3 growth solution were 0, 5, 10, 20, and 40 ppm. The experimental procedure commenced with preparing crystal seeds, which is pivotal for gauging crystal growth rates. Results obtained from crystal weighing and morphological analysis through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) indicated that C-4-methoxyphenyl-calix[4]resorcinarene effectively impeded the pace of CaCO3 scaling. The inhibitory efficacy of C-4-methoxyphenyl-calix[4]resorcinarene as a CaCO3 scaling inhibitor was contingent on well-regulated temperature during the heating phase. The inhibition effectiveness was positively correlated with the inhibitor's concentration; higher concentrations yielded superior suppression of CaCO3 scaling. Optimal scale reduction was observed at an inhibitor concentration of 10 ppm during a 20-minute contact period. These findings underscore the promising potential of C-4-methoxyphenyl-calix[4]resorcinarene as a viable inhibitor for mitigating scaling growth rates in various industrial fluid systems and related contexts.

Abstract

This study developed nanofibers derived from sugar palm fiber waste, incorporating citric acid and polyethylene glycol (PEG) modifications to adsorb crystal violet (CV) dye. The synthesis process involved alkalization-acid hydrolysis and bleaching techniques. Subsequent analyses of nanofiber characteristics were conducted using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX). The efficacy of these modified nanofibers in adsorbing CV was quantitatively measured using an Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer. The study successfully synthesized nanofibers from sugar palm fiber waste with modifications: PEG-modified nanofibers (NP 2 and NP 24) and citric acid-modified nanofibers (NS 2 and NS 24). These modifications resulted in nanofibers with a smooth, white texture. FTIR analysis of the samples (N, NP 2, NP 24, NS 2, and NS 24) revealed the presence of functional groups essential for cellulose, specifically -OH, C-H, and C-O groups. The addition of citric acid introduced a new group, C=O, albeit with very weak intensity. PEG modifications were evident from the stretching observed in the -OH groups. SEM analysis confirmed the presence of a layer on the nanofibers, attributed to citric acid (NS 2 and NS 24) and PEG (NP 2 and NP 24). XRD results indicated that the pre-and post-modification nanofibers exhibited a semi-crystalline phase. The adsorption mechanism was predominantly guided by Van der Waals electrostatic interactions between the absorbent material and the adsorbate. Intriguingly, the citric acid and PEG modifications did not significantly alter the adsorption outcomes. The adsorption capacity remained stable over time, as evidenced by measurements of 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes.

Abstract

This study evaluates the impact of the Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) model combined with a Science-Technology-Society-Environment (SETS) approach on chemical literacy and science process skills within buffer solutions. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group, the research involved 71 students divided into experimental and control groups. Cluster random sampling was utilized for participant selection, and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was applied to test the hypotheses. The findings reveal a significant effect of the POGIL learning model integrated with a SETS approach on simultaneously enhancing students' chemical literacy and science process skills. This outcome is substantiated by the MANOVA results, which indicate a significance level of 0.000, falling below the threshold of 0.05, thereby leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0). Notably, the experimental group demonstrated significant improvements compared to the control group. Chemical literacy in the experimental group reached 79.90%, significantly higher than the 62.53% observed in the control group. Additionally, the N-gain scores for the experimental and control groups were 0.70 and 0.32, respectively, categorized as high and medium. Furthermore, the percentages of science process skills were 91.61% in the experimental group and 82.37% in the control group, both in the very good category. These results underscore the effectiveness of combining POGIL with a SETS approach in elevating chemical literacy and science process skills, suggesting this method is a potent educational tool in chemical education.

Abstract

The demand for paper has been increasing over time, leading to the pulp and paper industry becoming one of the largest contributors to global carbon emissions due to the chlorine-based bleaching process, particularly in Indonesia. An alternative to minimize chlorine usage involves using xylanase enzymes as part of the bleaching sequence. Xylanase can be produced from agricultural waste, including cassava residue, which contains a significant concentration of xylanase, approximately 21.3%. However, it still needs to be utilized in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to explore the production of xylanase enzymes from cassava residue and assess its effectiveness in the biobleaching process of pulp. The research methodology includes the production phase of xylanase enzymes by Aspergillus niger, chelating, bleaching sequence, bleaching, kappa number, and chemical saving assay. In the production of xylanase, the study determined that xylanase exhibits optimal activity under specific conditions, notably at a pH of 6 and a temperature of 60°C. Under these parameters, the enzymatic activity reached a level of 0.4986 U/mg protein. During the bleaching sequence, xylanase was used with doses of 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.8, and 1 L/T pulp at 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, and 70°C for 60 minutes. Following this process, bleaching was conducted at 65°C for 70 minutes, extraction at 80°C for 90 minutes, and a second bleaching phase. Subsequently, a kappa number test was performed, revealing the best kappa value at 60°C with a xylanase dose of 0.5 L/T pulp, reducing from an initial kappa number of 9 to 4.04. Additionally, under these conditions and dosage, xylanase enzymes could save approximately 23.67% in chlorine usage

Abstract

Heavy metal treatment is crucial to mitigate these elements' adverse environmental impacts. Among various remediation methods, adsorption stands out due to its simplicity and high efficiency. In this context, Placuna placenta shell, a biowaste, has been explored for its potential in treating wastewater contaminated with Pb(II) ions. This research was designed to assess the Placuna placenta shell's proficiency in removing Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The study involved two main components: an adsorption test to evaluate the heavy metal removal capability of the Placuna placenta shel and a comprehensive characterization of the shell-based adsorbent. The adsorption experiments were conducted using a batch system, where variables such as pH levels and contact time were meticulously altered to determine their effect on the adsorption efficiency. Concurrently, the adsorbent underwent thorough characterization through Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. The experimental findings indicated that the optimal conditions for maximum Pb(II) ion removal were achieved at a pH of 7 and a contact time of 120 minutes. The FTIR analysis of the adsorbent revealed the presence of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a finding further substantiated by the XRD analysis results. Additionally, SEM imaging provided visual evidence of metal ion deposition on the aggregates of the adsorbent. The study demonstrated that the Placuna placenta shell exhibits promising qualities as an adsorbent for removing heavy metals from contaminated water sources. This finding highlights the potential of utilizing biowaste in environmental remediation and offers a sustainable approach to addressing heavy metal pollution.

Abstract

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the imperative to mitigate pathogen transmission has catalyzed the innovation of soaps imbued with antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. Diverging from conventional reliance on synthetic chemicals, often associated with adverse dermatological reactions, this study explores the formulation of organic liquid soaps. These soaps leverage naturally occurring antibacterial and antimicrobial compounds from readily accessible plants, presenting a viable alternative to commercially available inorganic body washes predominantly manufactured by small to medium-sized enterprises. Specifically, this research harnesses papaya and aloe vera extracts for their antimicrobial attributes, augmented with turmeric and piper betel for enhanced antibacterial efficacy. Despite the recognized potency of turmeric and piper betel, variability in their effectiveness necessitates rigorous validation against the Indonesian National Standards (SNI) to ensure product quality and safety. This includes comprehensive evaluations of pH levels, density, Total Plate Count (TPC), and Mold and Yeast Count (MYC) to certify the soap's inhibitory capacity against bacterial and fungal proliferation. Employing maceration and hot processing techniques, the formulated papaya-based soap adhered to SNI 4085:2017 criteria for pH and MYC, although initially failing the TPC test. Subsequent incorporation of turmeric extract facilitated compliance with all SNI benchmarks. Conversely, aloe vera formulations only satisfied pH requirements under the SNI, even after adding piper betel. However, substituting piper betel with turmeric extract enabled the aloe vera soap to fulfill the requisite SNI parameters. These findings underscore turmeric extract's superior antibacterial properties, positioning it as a pivotal component in papaya and aloe vera soap formulations. Contrary to prevalent assumptions regarding piper betel's antimicrobial and antibacterial effectiveness, our investigation substantiates turmeric's superior role in bacterial growth inhibition within organic soap matrices.

Abstract

Metallic corrosion, the deterioration process induced by the interaction between metals and corrosive environments, poses a significant challenge to material integrity and longevity. Corrosion inhibitors have been identified as an effective approach among various mitigation strategies. Natural extracts, such as those derived from turmeric/Curcuma longa, have garnered attention for their potential as eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors. This study endeavors to extract, characterize, and evaluate turmeric extract's efficacy as a corrosion inhibitor within a 30% acetic acid solution. Employing microwave-assisted extraction with a 96% ethanol solvent facilitated the isolation of the extract, which was subsequently subjected to qualitative analysis through phytochemical screenings and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). These analyses confirmed the presence of antioxidative phytochemicals, including alkaloids, terpenoids, turmeronoids, curcumin, sesquiterpenoids, and phenols. The corrosion inhibitory properties of turmeric extract were assessed via immersion and flow loop experiments, revealing a notable reduction in corrosion rates—from 0.1540 mm/year to 0.0801 mm/year in immersion tests and from 5.3747 mm/year to 2.9369 mm/year in flow loop tests. Such outcomes underscore turmeric extract's potential as a viable corrosion inhibitor, attributed primarily to the chemical interactions facilitated by curcumin's phenolic and carbonyl groups with the metal surface, thereby enhancing protective efficacy. The inhibitor efficiency was quantified at 47.9743% and 45.3565% for immersion and flow loop tests, highlighting the extract's substantial inhibitory performance.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of integrating the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) approach with comic-based learning and the Think Talk Write (TTW) model on student learning activities and achievements in fundamental chemistry. Focusing on chemical reactions (combustion, rusting, fermentation, etc.) and laws (Dalton’s, Proust’s, Gay-Lussac’s, etc.), the research adopts a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design in a quasi-experimental setting with 36 students divided equally between control and experimental groups. Comparative analysis shows that the experimental group outperforms the control group in learning activities and achievements. The experimental group, subjected to the CRT and TTW model, demonstrates significantly higher engagement in learning activities. The N-Gain Score test reveals a notable increase in learning effectiveness—56.40% for the experimental group versus 29.69% for the control group, indicating the latter's relative ineffectiveness. In learning achievement, the experimental group exhibits a considerable improvement of 67.20%, while the control group shows a moderate gain of 50.12%. The results of the Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) test, with the positive effect of integrating CRT with comics and the TTW model on student learning activities and achievements. The study highlights the efficacy of this approach in enhancing students' understanding and engagement in chemistry, suggesting a promising direction for future educational practices.

Abstract

Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is a significant starch source, comprising up to 70.25% of its composition, and holds extensive industrial applications. However, the physicochemical properties of natural starch pose several challenges to its direct use as an industrial raw material. These challenges include high viscosity, substantial swelling power, low solubility, significant retrogradation, limited digestibility, and poor thermal stability. To address these issues, modification of the starch particle size to the nanometer scale is proposed, which is anticipated to enhance both functional and physicochemical properties. This study employs a top-down approach through 2.2 N HCl acid hydrolysis at 38°C for 24 hours. This method offers simplicity, efficiency for scale-up in industrial applications, and relatively higher stability than alternative approaches. Particle size analysis using Particle Size Analysis (PSA) revealed an average particle size of 215 nm. Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy showed characteristic bands similar to natural starch, with slight variations in peak intensity, indicating successful acid hydrolysis and structural disruption of the molecular order. Morphological analysis revealed minimal changes in the granules' surface structure, with clumping observed due to acid hydrolysis. The resultant starch nanoparticles exhibited decreased viscosity and swelling while solubility was enhanced. Therefore, nanoparticle starch holds promising applications in food and non-food industries.
