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%.

Abstract

The research about molecular weight and functional group analysis of low molecular weight liquid cyclic natural rubber has been done. The aim of this research is to achievement the quality of low molecular weight of liquid cyclic natural rubber. This research has been made in several steps such as preparation of the sample of rubber, the process of molecular degradation of cyclic rubber, and characterization of LCNR by using FTIR, GPC and viscosity test. Degradation is done with the help of the phenylhydrazine reagent with oxygen gas atmosphere with a flow rate of 2 LMin-1 for 24 hours. Molecular weight analysis by GPC had result the LCNR sample had a Mw is 60,556, a Mn is 6,661, and a PDI is 11,08613. The intrinsic viscosity can be used by relating it to the molecular weight by the Mark Houwink – Sakurada (MHS) equation and get the result 63.533 for LCNR molecular weight. The C-H stretching and bending region are two of the most difficult regions to interpret in infrared spectra. The ranges between 3300 to 2750 cm-1 is the C-H stretching region, is the more practical of the two regions. The frequency with which C-H bonds are obstructed is largely determined by the type of hybridization attributed to the bond. The stronger the vibrational force constant, the higher the vibration frequency.

Abstract

Antibiotics have recently gained in popularity due to their usage in medical treatment and the process of removing them from the environment. Amoxicillin is one of the antibiotics that constitutes the study's subject. On a Pt disc electrode and a cobalt hydroxide modified-Pt electrode, the scan rate and pH in the electrochemical oxidation of amoxicillin were investigated. The voltammetry measurement's current peak revealed that changing the electrode surface could increase the electrochemical response and sensitivity of the working electrodes. The Pt/Co(OH)2 modification working electrode had a high sensitivity in the electro-oxidation determination of amoxicillin, with a linear range of the sensor of 20 to 80 M and a limit of detection of 7.15 M for the Pt disc electrode and 3.64 M for the cobalt hydroxide modified Pt electrode. The findings of determination in real samples with electro-oxidation using a modified electrode were in good agreement with a confidence level of 95 percent, according to the comparing method with HPLC.

Abstract

Galam wood (Malaleuca cajuputi) is one of the woody plants that is able to grow well in the peat swamp environment of the South Kalimantan wetlands. Research on the synthesis and characterization of magnetic-hydrochar from galam bark waste for the treatment of sasirangan liquid waste has been carried out. This study aims to determine the characteristics of hydrochar and magnetic-hydrochar against the adsorption ability of sasirangan liquid waste. The results showed that the modification of galam bark into hydrochar and magnetic-hydrochar produced different characteristics based on the analysis of functional groups of infrared spectra. The surface morphology of hydrochar and magnetic-hydrochar also showed the significant differences based on scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. The resulting magnetic-hydrochar showed a higher adsorption ability to sasirangan waste than the hydrochar of galam bark and galam bark without modification.
