Abstract

Rhodamine B is a synthetic dye commonly used, especially in the textile industry. Excessive entry of Rhodamine B into the environment can alter the pH of water, which can disturb microorganisms and animals living in aquatic environments. One way to address the pollution of Rhodamine B is by using activated carbon from sorghum stalk waste. Activated carbon is carbon that has been processed through activation to have pores with a very large surface area, thereby enhancing its adsorption capacity. The aim of this study is to determine the characteristics of activated carbon from sorghum stalk waste and to determine the optimum NaOH concentration in the synthesis of activated carbon from sorghum stalk waste as an adsorbent for Rhodamine B dye. The stages in this study include the preparation of sorghum stalk waste samples, carbonization, and activation of the carbon from sorghum stalk waste using NaOH activator with concentration variations of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6% for 24 hours. The adsorption process was carried out using the activated carbon from sorghum stalk waste to adsorb Rhodamine B dye. The results of the study showed that the characteristics of the activated carbon from sorghum stalk waste had a moisture content of 4-7.3%, ash content of 2.3-7.6%, and an iodine adsorption capacity of 2,410.67-3,427.11 mg/g. The results of the characterization of activated carbon from sorghum stalk waste overall met the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The optimum NaOH activator concentration for adsorbing Rhodamine B dye was obtained at a concentration of 6%, with an adsorption efficiency of 88.94%.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the physical stability of hand and body lotion formulations containing Lingzhi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) extract at various concentrations (0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, and 0.75%). The extract was obtained through maceration using 96% ethanol and incorporated as an active ingredient in lotion formulations. Physical stability parameters assessed over a 28-day storage period included organoleptic characteristics, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, and skin irritation. Results indicated that all lotion formulations exhibited good homogeneity, pH values within the acceptable range (4.95–5.68), and spreadability within standard criteria (5.72–6.27 cm). No skin irritation effects were reported among respondents. The 0.50% extract concentration received the highest user preference in terms of color and aroma. Overall, the study concludes that Lingzhi mushroom extract can be effectively used as a stable, safe, and consumer-acceptable active ingredient in natural skin care product formulations.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus L.) is a grass plant with narrow leaf size. Citronella in NTT is relatively abundant but its utilization is not optimal and the price is relatively cheap. People only utilize citronella as animal feed, traditional drinks, and mosquito repellent additives. The purpose of this research is to isolate and make basic ingredients of fragrance from citronella oil from TTU district. The method for citronella oil isolation is water vapor distillation. The method of making fragrance is bassic notes, middle notes and top notes with observation parameters used for testing fragrance is organoleptic test, stain test, durability test. The results of the fragrance of bassic notes fragrance if applied to clothing then the fragrance that smells is lemongrass fragrance, while middle notes if applied to clothing then the fragrance is like a rose, top notes fragrance that smells is orange. The stain test results on basic notes for tissue paper and HVS paper showed very slight stains, while the middle notes showed very slight stains on tissue paper and HVS paper, and the top notes showed no stains on any of the three test papers. The durability test results showed that all three fragrances lasted up to 8 hours. Keywords: Lemongrass, Fragrance, Organoleptic Test, Stain Test, Durability Test.

Abstract

This study analyzes the profile of chemistry students’ systems thinking skills as a key competency for addressing the complex challenges of the 21st century. Systems thinking is essential for understanding the dynamic interrelationships among components within a system in an integrated and holistic manner. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed involving 108 chemistry education students from seven universities across Indonesia, consisting of 58 from rural areas and 50 from urban areas. Data were collected using the Dorani Systems Thinking Skills Test (D-STST), which was adapted to the higher education chemistry context. The results showed that students from urban areas achieved a higher mean score (M = 38.5) than those from rural areas (M = 34.91), indicating differences in systems thinking proficiency based on students’ residential backgrounds. These disparities are likely influenced by learning environments, access to educational resources, and academic experiences. The findings underscore the importance of implementing contextual, inquiry-based, and student-centered learning strategies to strengthen systems thinking skills and better prepare students for the demands of 21st-century education and global challenges.
