Abstract

Metoprolol, or 1-[4-(2-Methoxyethyl)phenoxy]-3-[(1-methylethyl)amino]-2-propanol, is a β1-adrenergic receptor antagonist that is often used to treat cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension, arrhythmia, and heart failure. Metoprolol has an A value of 1% 1cm = 52a in acid solution at a wavelength of 274 nm, where the molar absorptivity value (Ԑ) is 1390.48 L/(mol . cm) so that metoprolol gives weak absorption in the UV region (Ԑ ~ 1000 L/(mol . cm)). This study aims to optimize the solvent in the derivatization reaction of metoprolol with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (FDNB). Under optimum conditions, the metoprolol reaction should form a derivatization product with FDNB. Metoprolol derivatization reactionin methanol solvent is optimal at pH 10.0 in borate buffer, with a warm-up at room temperature for 80 minutes. Analysis of metoprolol by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) using a Chromolith RP-18e column (100 mm x 4.6 mm; 2 µm) and phase acetonitrile: buffer acetate (0.2 M, pH 3.0) = 70:30 with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. Separation of metoprolol-DNB occurs at a time retention of 7,856 minutes, with an analysis time of 10 minutes. Reaction-derivatization of metoprolol in methanol solvent; the optimum condition was pH 10.0. It was concluded that metoprolol in methanol solvent was more effective because the derivatization reaction with FDNB did not require heating. Optimizing the metoprolol content determination method using the FDNB solution derivatizer in acetonitrile showed that the optimal mobile phase was a mixture of acetonitrile and 0.2 M acetate buffer (30:70, pH 3.0), with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/minute.

Abstract

Cilegon City, Banten Province, Indonesia, generates abundant organic waste in the form of marine fish viscera (MFV) from fish-cleaning activities in traditional markets, which remains largely underutilized. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of MFV as an alternative bacterial starter for biogas production through the co-digestion of water hyacinth (KIM) and corn husk (KJ) biomass. Prior to digestion, KIM and KJ were physically pretreated to a particle size of 50–60 mesh, then chemically pretreated with 0.1 M NaOH. The pretreated biomass was then oven-dried at 60 °C for 24 h. Various KIM: KJ mass ratios were investigated, including 10:0, 8:2, 6:4, 4:6, 2:8, and 0:10, with a constant total solids (TS) content of 10 g. In addition, the biomass-to-MFV starter ratios were varied to 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:1.5, and 1:2. Anaerobic batch fermentation was conducted at an initial pH of 8, with 160 mL of distilled water added per 10 g TS. Methane content was analyzed using a Shimadzu GC-8A equipped with a thermal conductivity detector (TCD) at the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Indonesia. Biogas volume was measured at two-day intervals over a 50-day fermentation period. The results demonstrated that the optimum biomass composition was achieved at a KIM:KJ ratio of 4:6, yielding a biogas production of 65 mL g⁻¹ TS. The optimum biomass-to-starter ratio of 1:1 resulted in a total biogas volume of 986 mL, a biogas yield of 99 mL g⁻¹ TS, and an organic matter conversion efficiency of 65% after 50 days of fermentation, with methane content reaching 60% (v/v). This study introduces a novel approach by demonstrating, for the first time, the use of marine fish viscera as a bacterial starter in the co-digestion of KIM and KJ, highlighting its significant potential to enhance biogas yield while valorizing marine processing waste.

Abstract

The palm oil industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, particularly in Indonesia as one of the leading producers of palm oil. However, its production process generates a substantial amount of liquid waste known as Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), which is rich in organic pollutants, including Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), as well as residual oil and grease. If not properly managed, POME can lead to environmental pollution and disrupt surrounding ecosystems. Conventional treatment methods, such as anaerobic ponds, induced air flotation, and coagulation–flocculation, present several limitations, including prolonged processing time and high operational costs. As an alternative, the use of eco-enzyme derived from the fermentation of organic waste, such as fruit peels, offers a more efficient and environmentally friendly solution. Eco-enzyme contains active enzymes, including lipase, protease, and amylase, which are effective in degrading complex organic compounds in POME, thereby naturally reducing BOD, COD, and TSS levels. Furthermore, the presence of organic acids and phenolic compounds in eco-enzyme contributes to pH neutralization and facilitates the adsorption of heavy metals in POME. This study aims to explore the potential of eco-enzyme as a sustainable technology for POME treatment, while also supporting the principles of zero waste and circular economy within the palm oil industry.

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a common skin disorder caused by clogged pores and infection by Propionibacterium acnes. The use of synthetic chemicals in skincare products often leads to side effects, highlighting the need for safer and eco-friendly natural alternatives. Natural zeolite, particularly Lampung Natural Zeolite (ZAL), has potential as an antibacterial agent due to its porous structure and adsorption capacity. This study evaluates the effectiveness of ZAL as an active ingredient in clay mask formulations against P. acnes. ZAL was activated and purified, then formulated into masks with varying concentrations (2.5 g, 5 g, and 7.5 g). Characterization was conducted using IR, XRD, and SEM, while antibacterial activity was tested using the agar diffusion method. Activation improved crystallinity and increased silanol (Si–OH) groups, enhancing antibacterial performance. The 5 g zeolite formulation showed the largest inhibition zone, indicating optimal effectiveness. Overall, ZAL demonstrates strong potential as a natural antibacterial agent for facial mask products.

Abstract

Indonesia has great potential to provide raw materials that support the sustainability of the pulp and paper industry. Global paper consumption continues to increase every year. That is, around 394 million tons per year. To maintain its competitiveness, paper industry producers continue to innovate to reduce production costs without ignoring paper quality. One strategy implemented is to eliminate the use of long fiber (NBKP), which is more expensive, and to replace some of the short-fiber chemical pulp (LBKP) with other, more economical raw materials, such as BCTMP (Bleached Chemi Thermo Mechanical Pulp). Therefore, the author conducted a study on the Effect of Variations in BCTMP and LBKP Composition on paper characteristics. The method used in this study is the handsheet method. This study aims to determine the effects of BCTMP and LBKP composition on paper characteristics and to identify the optimal BCTMP + LBKP composition. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the higher the BCTMP composition in the pulp mixture, the higher the Thickness, bulk, and opacity values ​​produced. Conversely, the higher the BCTMP composition in the pulp mixture, the lower the Tensile strength and Brightness values ​​produced. Furthermore, the composition of 90% LBKP + 10% BCTMP yields the best results compared to the others. This formulation is recommended for use in paper production to improve paper quality

Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture technology continues to advance in line with global commitments to emission reduction. Glycerol, an abundant by-product of the biodiesel industry, has potential as an alternative absorbent due to its low cost, biodegradability, and low vapor pressure. This review aims to analyze the performance of glycerol-based CO₂ capture by evaluating the effects of temperature, pressure, gas flow rate, and solution concentration on process efficiency, as well as identifying research gaps for further development. In general, increasing operating parameters enhances the mass transfer coefficient and CO₂ capture efficiency up to an optimum limit, beyond which performance declines. The addition of solvents such as water and monoethanolamine (MEA) to glycerol has been shown to improve capture efficiency from 27.31% to 64.33%, although it may lead to the formation of by-products. Future work requires further laboratory-scale experimental studies, such as the use of bubble column reactors to enhance gas–liquid contact, in order to achieve optimal process conditions and maximize glycerol carbonate yield.

Abstract

The increasing use of pesticides in agriculture contributes to water pollution, particularly from diazinon, a toxic and persistent compound. Photodegradation using waste-based catalysts offers a promising remediation approach. This study aims to synthesize calcium oxide (CaO) from eggshell waste and evaluate its photocatalytic performance for diazinon degradation under sunlight. An experimental method was employed, varying catalyst dosage, pH, initial diazinon concentration, and irradiation time, with degradation efficiency as the response variable. CaO was synthesized via calcination at 800°C, followed by KOH activation. Characterization revealed a porous surface structure with irregular particle distribution and the presence of Ca–O and O–H functional groups. UV–Vis analysis indicated a band gap of 2.75 eV, suggesting activity under solar irradiation. Optimal conditions were achieved at 16 mg catalyst dosage, pH 7, 50 ppm diazinon, and 90 minutes irradiation, yielding 26.41% degradation efficiency. Kinetic analysis followed a pseudo-second-order model (k = 0.0181; R² = 0.9977). These results demonstrate that eggshell-derived CaO is a low-cost, eco-friendly photocatalyst for pesticide wastewater treatment.
