Abstract

This study aims to design a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) type reactor to produce zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. Mass balance calculations were carried out in this study as a benchmark to determine whether the reactor was working properly by knowing the flow of incoming raw materials and the products produced by the reactor. Furthermore, the reactor's design and the stirrer used in the reactor are calculated manually using Microsoft Excel. Based on the calculation results of the reactor design, the reactor volume is 8224.359 liters, with a vessel diameter of 73.298 in, a cylinder height of 166.090 in, and a cylinder thickness of 73.444 in. The top cover of the reactor measures 12.387 inches with a thickness of 0.072 inches, while the bottom cover measures 21.185 inches with a thickness of 0.083 inches, so the overall height of the reactor is 37.552 in. The reactor is equipped with one stirrer with an impeller diameter of 36.722 in, impeller height from the bottom of the tank is 24.433 in, impeller width is 7.344 in, and impeller length is 9.180 in. Turbulent stirring flow conditions with a standard motor power for the stirrer is 6.849 HP. This design will be a reference for building more economical, efficient, and highly demanding reactors.

Abstract

This experimental research aims to characterize the complex compound M-curcumin (M=Cu, Co, Ag) based on turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn) rhizome as a candidate for photosensitizer in solar cells. The basic material used for manufacturing the M-curcumin complex compound in this study was curcumin from turmeric rhizome extract added to Cu2+, Co2+, and Ag+ metal ions. The results of the synthesis of the M-curcumin complex were characterized by FTIR and Uv-Vis spectrophotometers. The FTIR spectrophotometer test showed a curcumin compound in the viscous curcumin extract, characterized by an absorption wave number corresponding to the curcumin compound. In the M-curcumin complex, the bond between the metal and the ligand only appears in the Co-curcumin complex at the absorption number of 498.77 cm -1. The results of the UV-Vis spectrophotometer test showed that the maximum wavelength absorption in curcumin extract was 430 nm (abs = 0.688), Cu-Curcumin complex lmax 300 nm (abs = 2.573), Co-curcumin complex lmax 425 nm (abs = 1.067), and complex Ag-Curcumin lmax 430 nm (abs = 1.36). The UV-Vis and FTIR characterization showed that the Co-curcumin complex has good potential compared to the organic compounds (curcumin) and can be used as an alternative photosensitizer in solar cells

Abstract

This study examines the design of a heat exchanger (HE) in the production process of nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) nanoparticles using the coprecipitation method by determining the shell and tube heat exchanger. The Microsoft Excel application is used as a manual calculating machine to facilitate the analysis of heat exchanger (HE) data calculations. The research flowchart starts with a literature study, preparation of tools and materials for design, calculation of the main shell and tube components, and then fabrication. Based on the calculation results, the design specification data for a shell and tube heat exchanger has a shell diameter of 0.032 m, a shell length of 4.267 mm, a thickness of 0.002 m with an initial heat transfer rate (Q) of 460130 W resulting in a heat transfer efficiency of 95.706% and an NTU of 6.165. The high effectiveness value makes the design of the one shell and tube type turbulent flow heat exchanger (HE) considered to have met the standards of high effectiveness and good performance. The design and design process is complete if the device functions properly. This study can be used as a reference for researchers in designing heat exchangers during production to make them more effective, reliable, and economical.

Abstract

Using methyl orange (MO) in dye industries can cause the accumulation of MO waste in aquatic systems, including seawater. A magnetic material-silica-zeolite (MM-SiO2-NZ) composite was investigated in vitro to adsorb methyl orange (MO) dye. MM-SiO2-NZ composite was characterized using FTIR, XRF, and VSM. Adsorption studies with pH, concentration, contact time, and temperature variations were carried out to determine the adsorption capacity. The MM-SiO2-NZ characterization results by FTIR showed the presence of OH groups from Fe-OH, Si-OH, and Al-OH, and there were Fe-O, Si-O, Al-O, Si-O-Si, and Si-O-Fe groups. The results of XRF characterization showed that the metal oxide content of Fe2O3 in magnetic material (MM) was 75.39% and decreased to 52.63% after the MM-SiO2-NZ composite was formed. The characterization using VSM indicated the magnetic properties of MM to be 44.083 emu/g, then decreased to 11.407 emu/g after being composited. The adsorption of MM-SiO2-NZ tends to follow the Langmuir adsorption isotherm with a Langmuir constant (KL) value of 1.332 L/mg. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics with a constant value (k2) of 3×10-2 g.mg/min. MO dye adsorption by MM-SiO2-NZ took place spontaneously with Gibbs free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH), and entropy (ΔS) values of -1.109 kJ/mol, -38.687 kJ/mol, and -12.402 kJ/mol, respectively.

Abstract

The synthesis of environmentally friendly-based chemicals such as solvent-free continues to be developed. A critical precursor in chemical synthesis is benzoic acid. This research developed a synthesis method by utilizing TiO2 nanomaterials with different morphologies as photocatalysts, namely nanoparticles (NPs) and nanowires (NWs). Titanium (IV) oxide with nanowires morphology was synthesized by hydrothermal method under alkaline conditions. SEM, XRD, and FT-IR images confirmed the morphologies of TiO2 NPs and TiO2 NWs. Photocatalytic performance in converting benzaldehyde to benzoic acid showed a significant difference of up to 38% using TiO2 NPs and 94% using TiO2 NWs.

Abstract

Alpha (a) and beta (β) asarone were identified as the main compounds of red Jeringau (Acorus calamus L.) and had antimicrobial properties. This study aimed to know these two compounds' antibacterial mechanism and toxicity prediction against the PBP 2 protein and 50S Ribosomal Protein of Shigella flexneri. Molecular docking protocol using PyRx device was performed with Exhaustiveness value= 106, grid x=38.738375, y=112.645792, z=46.926417 for PBP2, and grid x=71.721251, y=47.551601, z=9.663173 for 50S Ribosomal Protein. The molecular docking results on the α -Asarone compound obtained an affinity value of -5.7 kcal/mol for PBP2 and an affinity value of -5.6 kcal/mol for 50S Ribosomal Protein. In comparison, β-Asarone had an affinity value of -5.6 kcal/mol to PBP2 and an affinity value of -5.7 kcal/mol for 50S Ribosomal Protein. The α and β-Asarone affinity had better values than the control. Molecular docking of α and β-Asarone compounds results in ionic bonds to the TYR529 amino acid and polar bonds to the ASN552 amino acid of PBP2. However, only β-Asarone produces ionic bonds at the amino acid ILE17 and polar bonds at GLU13 from 50S Ribosomal Protein. Based on this study, the α and β-Asarone compounds were shown to have antibacterial activity by interfering with the permeability of the bacterial cell wall. Both compounds are also predicted to have carcinogenic and mutagen effects.

Abstract

Decorating of Transition metals (TMs) on the "AlMg" nanoalloy has been studied on the basis of Langmuir adsorption applying "ONIOM" model with three levels of «high, medium and low» by using "LANL2DZ /6-31+G(d,p)/EPR-III", "semi-empirical" and "MM2" functions. The fluctuation of "NQR" has estimated the inhibiting role of pyridine and alkylpyridines containing 2-picoline (2Pic), 3-picoline (3Pic) ,4-picoline (4Pic), and 2,4-lutidine (24Lut) for (Sc, Ti, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn)-doped AlMg alloy nanosheet due to "N" atom in the benzene cycle of heterocyclic carbenes being near the monolayer surface of ternary "TM–(Al–Mg)" (TM= Sc, Ti, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn) nanoalloys. The "NMR" spectroscopy has remarked In fact, the NMR results of the adsorption of pyridine and alkylpyridines of 2Pic, 3Pic, 4Pic and 24Lut molecules represent spin polarization on the TM (Sc, Ti, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn)-doped Al–Mg nanoalloy surfaces that these surfaces can be employed as the magnetic N-heterocyclic carbene sensors. In fact, "TM" sites in "TM–(Al–Mg)" nanoalloy surfaces have bigger interaction energy amount from "Van der Waals’ forces" with pyridine and its nitrogen heterocyclic family that might cause them large stable towards coating data on the nanosurface. It has been estimated that the criterion for choosing the surface linkage of "N" atom in pyridine and alkylpyridines in adsorption sites can be impacted by the existence of close atoms of aluminum and magnesium in the "TM–(AlMg)" surfaces. Moreover, "IR" spectroscopy has exhibited that (Sc, Ti, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn)-doped AlMg alloy nanosheet with the fluctuation in the frequency of intra-atomic interaction leads us to the most considerable influence in the vicinage elements generated due to inter-atomic interaction. Comparison to amounts versus dipole moment has illustrated a proper accord among measured parameters based on the rightness of the chosen isotherm for the adsorption steps of the formation of Py@Sc–(Al–Mg), Py@Ti–(Al–Mg), Py@Cr–(Al–Mg), Py@Ni–(Al–Mg), Py@Cu–(Al–Mg), and Py@Zn–(Al–Mg) complexes. Thus, the interval between nitrogen atom in pyridine during interaction with transition metals of "Sc, Ti, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn" in "TM–(Al–Mg)" nanoalloys, (N→TM), has been estimated with relation coefficient of R² = 0.9284. Thus, the present has exhibit the influence of "TMs" doped on the "Al–Mg" surface for adsorption of N-heterocyclic carbenes of pyridine and alkylpyridines by using theoretical methods.
