Abstract

Human haircuts are a waste, and they can cause environmental problems. The human haircuts waste from barbershops has not been appropriately handled. This waste will be burned or just thrown away. Human haircut waste is difficult to decompose in nature, and the importance of environmental conservation, it is necessary to innovate in processing human haircut waste into beneficial products. This study investigates the reaction kinetics of gas formation in the pyrolysis of human hair cutting waste. The research method used is pyrolysis at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen in the system and the system under a vacuum. The pyrolysis of unwashed and washed human hair pieces follows a first-order reaction. The kinetics parameters of gas formation on the pyrolysis of unwashed human hair followed the Arrhenius equation with K= Ae-9835.1/RT, and the activation energy was 81.769x103 kJ/mol. Meanwhile, the gas kinetics on the pyrolysis of washed human hair followed the Arrhenius equation with K= Ae-3667.1/RT and the activation energy value of 30.487x103 kJ/mol.

Abstract

Ligand selectivity of tartrate vs nicotinamide in a water-methanol system has been observed in the crystallization of Mn(II) and Cd(II) complexes. These complexes were crystallized at room temperature by a layered solution technique using a water-methanol mixture solvent in a M(II):tartrate:nicotinamide (M = Mn, Cd) molar ratio of 1:1:2. Complexes of M(II)-nicotinamide and M(II)-tartrate were also prepared for data comparison. Analysis of the crystals by infrared spectroscopy, powder-X-ray diffraction and qualitative anion test showed that in a presence of both tartrate and nicotinamide, the Mn(II) forms neutral Mn(II)-tartrate hydrate complex, whereas the Cd(II) forms ionic Cd(II)-nicotinamide chloride complex. In the case of Mn(II) complex, tartrate tend to coordinate as ligand than the nicotinamide, although molar ratio of nicotinamide was doubled than that of tartrate ligand. In contrast, the neutral nicotinamide ligand is more predominant to coordinate in the Cd(II) complex than the anionic tartrate. The tartrate-nicotinamide ligand selectivity in the crystallization of Mn(II) and Cd(II) complexes is likely due to the use of tartrate salt as precursor and the choice of solvent mixture. In addition, powder-XRD analysis confirms that there was no indication of M(II)-tartrate and M(II)-nicotinamide that co-crystallized together at the same time by both metal ions.

Abstract

Pandanus odorifer (sea pandanus) is a plant that is commonly found in Bengkulu coastal areas, and research on this plant has not been done much. The results of previous studies show that sea pandanus with Pandanus tectoricus species contains primary and secondary metabolite compounds, especially in fruit that can be used as antioxidants, anti-bacteria, and others. This study aims to utilize unused P.odorifer fruit as a supplement to increase the appetite for Broiler chicken. Test animals used in the research are 7-day-old Broiler chickens. The P.odorifer samples used as supplements were obtained on the Sungai Suci Bengkulu Tengah Coast. Chickens were given four treatments, P0 control (1mL aquades/day), P1 supplement dose (0.5g/10mL), P2 dosing supplements (1g/10mL), and P3 dose supplement (1.5g/10mL). In general, the study results showed that P.odorifer fruit has the potential to be used as a supplement to increase the appetite of Broiler chicken, with a fat content of 3.92%, carbohydrate of 58.08%, and protein of 2.13%. The study results showed a significant effect of supplementation P.odorifer on Broiler chicken appetite, which was characterized by increasing body weight and eating portions. T-test results of the body weight and portion of the control group and the treatment group, the value of sig (2-tailed) ρ: 0.021 and sig (2-tailed) ρ: 0.016 and with value (α): 0.05, value ρ <α. And based on the results of the Completely Randomized Design analysis, the increase in the effect of P.odorifer supplements on Broiler chicken appetite is maximum at a concentration of 1.5gr/10mL weighing the 20 days of treatment with an F value <0.05.

Abstract

Natural antioxidants are quite popular in beauty products. In further product development, natural antioxidants are needed from local products of the NTB community. This study aims to optimize the antioxidant activity of local products Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) from Cocos nucifera L. grown in Lombok. This type of research is experimental laboratory research using the DPPH method. VCO was isolated by conventional methods, namely standing and layered filtration. Data were obtained from the results of the UV-Vis spectroscopy test. The results showed that the free radical inhibition of VCO was strong, with an IC50 value of 51.57 and an inhibition of 48% at a 5% VCO concentration. The absorbance of DPPH decreased with increasing reaction time. The decrease in absorbance from every 5 minutes indicates the antioxidant activity continues to a stationary point. A color change indicates the stationary point to yellow. The strong antioxidant activity of VCO is used as the basis for its use as an active ingredient in various cosmetic products. VCO is also believed to have a function as a natural moisturizer.

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the effect of heteroatom replacement on benzimidazole derivative chemosensor compounds on the ability to form hydrogen bonds with anions. In this case, the N heteroatom in the benzimidazole derivative sensor compound (S1) is replaced with the O heteroatom to become a benzoxazole derivative sensor compound (S3). Calculating the energy of the molecules involved in the electron level gives the following results: replacing heteroatoms with more electronegative atoms increases the HOMO energy of the sensor molecules, making the sensor more reactive to anions and strengthening the binding of the sensor with cyanide anions.
