Abstract

Batu Ampar Port is the largest loading and unloading port of the three existing loading and unloading port facilities in Batam and the largest port for manufactured goods used by companies to supply the industrial sector in Batam. In addition to having a positive impact, the Batu Ampar port also has a negative impact in the form of a decrease in environmental quality, especially the noise level generated by activities in the Batu Ampar Port area. In this study the noise sampling process used the Svantek tool, sampling was carried out for 24 hours with a time limit of 24 intervals, then sampling was carried out for 10 minutes at each time interval. The research results obtained were that from all sampling points the highest noise was in the East Pier area of 70 – 78.5 dB(A) at 08:00 – 23:00 WIB. While the area with the lowest noise level is in the BPJS flat area of 54.7 – 73.5 dB(A) at 06:00 – 05:00 WIB. It can be concluded that many of the noise values obtained exceed the quality standards in accordance with Kepmen LH No. 48 of 1996. This was due to several factors, namely loading and uploading of very dense containers which resulted in more and more work activities. Noise elimination measures in the Batu Ampar port area are important to do considering the results of noise measurements still exceed the quality standards, Barriers are one of the technologies that can be applied to reduce noise in the Batu Ampar port, Batam, both natural and artificial barriers, so the Batu Ampar port noise problem can be solved

Abstract

Research on synthesis copper nanoparticles has been carried out by the reduction method with a green synthesis approach using extracts of gambir leaves (Uncaria gambir Roxb). Gambir leaf extract contains polyphenol compounds uses as a natural reducing agent to reduce copper cation from variations of prekursor (CuSO45.H2O, Cu(NO3)2.3H2O and CuCl2.2H2O). The formation of copper nanoparticles (CuNP) colloid is visually shown by color change from light brown to dark brown. Absorption peak in UV-Vis spectrophotometer analysis at 405 -427 nm which is a specific wavelength of copper nanoparticles base on phenomenon of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed formation of CuNP with a face centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure. The result of Transmission Electron Microscope show the synthesized CuNP was spherical with particle size diameter 15nm for CuSO4 prekursor, 25 nm for Cu(NO3) prekursor and 28 nm for CuCl2 prekursor. The size of nanoparticles influenced of type prekursor anions. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized nanoparticles was also tested using pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that copper nanoparticles were promising antibacterial agents. Antibacterial activity test on copper nanoparticles were found to have higher antibacterial activity against Gram positive bacteria S. aureus than Gram negatif E. coli.

Abstract

In Indonesia, earthworms specifically Lumbricus rubellus are generally underutilized, often used only as fishing bait and not yet fully optimized for their potential as a protein source. This study aimed to optimize the extraction of protein from Lumbricus rubellus using variations in NaCl concentration and incubation time. The extraction process was conducted using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with a Central Composite Design (CCD), involving two independent variables: NaCl concentration (3%, 6%, and 9%) and incubation time (24, 48, and 72 hours). The measured responses were dissolved protein, total dissolved solids (TDS), and pH of the extract. The results showed that the optimal condition for protein extraction was at 3% NaCl concentration and 24 hours of incubation, yielding the highest level of dissolved protein. The highest TDS was recorded at 45.5 ppm under the condition of 9% NaCl and 24-hour incubation, while the lowest TDS was 34.3 ppm at 9% NaCl and 72 hours. The pH values ranged from 4.18 to 4.47, with the highest pH observed at 3% NaCl and 24 hours. These findings demonstrate that both NaCl concentration and incubation time significantly influence the efficiency of protein extraction from Lumbricus rubellus, with lower concentrations and shorter times generally producing better results.

Abstract

Production of acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) through the fermentation process is one alternative that needs to be developed. Less economical in the ABE fermentation process is the difficulty of the separation process from the fermentation product and the by-products of the reaction. Among the separation process methods, such as extraction, distillation, adsorption, and gas stripping, the distillation method is still the most widely used method in the ABE separation process. The purpose of this study was to provide recommendations for predicting good ABE separation and producing optimum operating conditions to produce high % butanol content. Which is then simulated using Aspen Plus V11 software. This study varied the reflux ratio in the distillation column and the decanter operating temperature. The results showed that butanol purity reached 90.33% in the radfrac 1 column operated at a pressure of 1.3 atm with a reflux ratio of 5, the location of the 7th feed stage and the number of stages 11. Then proceed to the purification stage in the radfrac column 2 which is operated at a pressure of 2 atm with a reflux ratio of 5, the location of the 4th stage feed and the number of stages 5. The decrease in the reflux ratio of the radfrac column causes a decrease in the butanol content at the bottom so that the purity of butanol also decreases and decreases % recovery or recovery of butanol. This is also followed by the location of the feed stage, which is getting higher, and the number of stages is increasing.

Abstract

The heavy metal ion pollution such as lead (Pb2+) in wastewater is an environmental problem that needs to be solved. The adsorption method has been reported to have good potential as an alternative method for reducing heavy metal contents in aquatic environment. The most widely used adsorbent media are porous materials with a large surface area and low density. Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a type of porous material that is widely applied in various fields, such as fuel purification, solvent recovery, gas storage, and adsorbents. Lead (II) is a heavy metal ion that can pollute the environment and endanger humans. This study aims to synthesize MOFs and apply it to the Pb2+ adsorption process. In this research, MOFs type Zn-BDC or MOF-5 were synthesized by sonochemistry method at 60 ℃ as adsorbent for Pb2+ ion. Characterization of the adsorbent by FTIR showed the presence of functional groups C=O, C-H, and Zn-O which indicated the formation of the MOF-5 compound. The concentrations of Pb2+ ions were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The experimental results show the optimum conditions for the adsorption process at pH 5 for 60 minutes with adsorption efficiency reaching 93.41%. Testing the adsorption isotherm model showed that the Pb2+ ion adsorption process using Zn-BDC as an adsorbent followed the Langmuir isotherm model with the R2 value of 0.9986.

Abstract

Metal doping plays important role in increasing catalytic activity of catalyst materials. In this work, Ca and K were doped to the γ-Al2O3 by dry impregnation method to study the crystallinity, surface area, activation energy, and yield in the coconut oil transesterification reaction. The success of doping was shown in the characterization of Ca/γ-Al2O3 and K/γ-Al2O3 using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) which increasing in crystallinity from 62.2% (γ-Al2O3) to 69.3 (K/γ-Al2O3) and 76.0 (Ca/γ-Al2O3). The emerging peak of 2θ characteristics of K (29.70° and 32.65°) and Ca (25.35°, 26.77°, and 27.17°) on the γ-Al2O3 (37.66°, 45.82° and 67.22 °) was also observed. Characterization by the Surface Area Analyzer (SAA) shows that the K/γ- Al2O3 catalyst has a smaller surface area (34.03 m2/g) than Ca/γ-Al2O3 (83.77 m2/g), but a higher pore diameter (66.12 Å) than Ca/γ-Al2O3 (35.22 Å). The K/γ-Al2O3 catalyst produced greater FAME yield (93.19%) than Ca/γ-Al2O3 (29.76%) at a catalyst concentration of 2.5%, reaction time 150 s, and ultrasonic frequency of 40 kHz. The quality of the FAME catalyzed by K/γ- Al2O3 fulfills four test parameters: density, kinematic viscosity, flash point, and pour point according to SNI 04-7182-2006 standards.
