Abstract

This research was conducted to provide more value to oil palm ash and decrease the use of cement in agropolymer brick making. Oil palm industrial biomass waste contains silica (SiO2) which can replace the silica content in cement. This study aims to determine the chemical composition of oil palm biomass ash, physical and mechanical properties and surface morphology of agropolymer bricks. Agropolymer brick made from cement: sand (1:4) with variations palm ash 0; 4,3; 8.6; 12.9; 17.2; and 21.5% which has been purified with 3% HCl and a total weight of 7500 g. Agropolymer brick making is done by utilizing palm ash to reduce cement use. XRF test results showed that the greatest composition of ash before and after acidification was SiO2 namely 50.475% to 56.255%. The results of the water absorption test showed that the water absorption capacity of the concrete blocks increased with the addition of silica from the ash from palm biomass. The results of the average density test of concrete blocks with the addition of palm biomass silica were lower than the density of sand, namely 2.241 g/cm3. The compressive strength test results show that formula 3 has the optimum compressive strength is 28.8235294 kg/cm2. These results are supported by the SEM analysis of formula 3 showing that the agglomeration and grain size are not homogeneous and the surface morphology is denser. The brick produced is in accordance with SNI SNI 03-0348-1989 category IV the quality of solid concrete bricks B70.

Abstract

Hydrogen is an environmentally friendly fuel that is promoted as one of the most promising alternative energies to replace fossil fuels. The production of hydrogen through the hydrolysis reaction of aluminum is a solution to overcome the problems in the current hydrogen production method. The production of hydrogen through the hydrolysis of aluminum is an environmentally friendly process because this process produces hydrogen and AlOOH or Al(OH)3 which are easily biodegradable in nature. However, this reaction has a low reaction rate so a catalyst is needed to increase the reaction rate. In this study, carbon catalyst from coconut shell waste which was carbonated at a temperature of 800 °C and activated with 1M sulfuric acid had been successfully synthesized by electrolysis method with 0.01 NaOH solution; 0.1; 1 M. The morphological structure of the carbon catalyst produced has the same shape as activated carbon from coconut shells, which is amorphous. The SEM-EDX results showed that the carbon catalyst electrolyzed with 0.01 M NaOH had the highest metal content of Na, which was 3.68 wt%. Meanwhile, 0.1 and 1 M have Na metal content of 2.17% and Na 2.54 wt%. The results of Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) show that the thermal stability of the carbon catalyst is higher than that of activated carbon. Surface area analysis by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) showed that the activated carbon and the synthesized carbon catalyst had microporous and mesoporous structures simultaneously. The electrolyzed carbon catalyst with 0.1 M NaOH has the largest surface area of 512,2 m2/g. While the electrolyzed carbon catalyst with 0.01 M has the smallest surface area of 393,189 m2/g. The effectiveness of the carbon catalyst is known from the amount of aluminum oxidized. The carbon catalyst electrolyzed with 0.01 M NaOH was found to be the most effective because it was able to oxidize 9.17% aluminum, while the carbon catalyst electrolyzed with 0.1 and 1 M NaOH was only able to oxidize 6.85 and 7.96 aluminum, respectively. %.

Abstract

Research has been conducted on the study of the interaction between cyclic peptide ADTC2(Ac-CADTPPC-NH2) and E-cadherin protein using the molecular docking method. The aim of this study is to determine the position of the binding site and the energy of interaction between the ADTC2 peptide and the EC1-EC2 domain of E-kadherin. This research was divided into two parts, (1) Preliminary test using molecular dynamics (DM) method with Gromacs v4.5.4 software, (2) interaction of the peptide ADTC2 with EC1-EC2 using the molecular docking method (MD) with Autodock 4.2 software. Docking was performed with the blind dock method on EC1 and EC2 position. In the second step, the gridbox position was reduced based on the binding activity between E-cadherin and peptides. The strongest interaction and Van der Walls bonds were obtained in boxes B, C and D. The results showed that the ADTC2 peptide had a biological activity to inhibit the interaction of E-cadherin...E-cadherin by forming a complex with the EC1-EC2 domain. This inhibition occured by forming two binding sites in the EC1 domain (interaction energies are -23.309 kJ / mol and -26.234 kJ / mol, respectively) and one binding site in the EC2 domain (interaction energies are -22.677 kJ / mol). Based on preliminary tests, it can be proven that the native structure of ADTC2 is cyclic with optimization energy of -52504.78 kJ/mol and very stable from the beginning to the end of DM with an RMSD was <2 Å.

Abstract

The nanocatalyst Fe3O4 capped citric acid (Fe3O4-CA) was successfully synthesized using brown seaweed Sargassum filipendula. Sulfated polysaccharides contained in Sargassum filipendula extract contain sulfate, hydroxy, and aldehyde groups which cause Fe3+ reduction and nanoparticle stabilization. The FT-IR results of Sargassum filipendula extract showed the presence of CO-SO3 stretching vibrations at 1040 cm-1, sulfate groups at 1241 cm-1, aromatic CC at 1413 cm-1, carbonyl at 1604 cm-1, CH stretching vibrations at 2932 cm-1. 1, and the hydroxy group at 3316 cm-1\. Meanwhile, citric acid was used as capping to prevent agglomeration of the synthesized nanocatalyst. Fe3O4-CA nanocatalysts were characterized using XRD, PSA, and SEM-EDX. The XRD results were processed using the Debye-Scherrer equation and the crystal size of Fe3O4-CA was 8.5 nm. PSA results show that Fe3O4-CA particles have a radius of 45.09 nm or diameter of 90.18 nm. This nanocatalyst was also tested for the synthesis of pyrimidine-derived compounds at optimum conditions using 7.5% mol of catalyst, 50 °C for 6 hours, in order to obtain a yield of 83.2%.
