When the first time appeared in 1999, Marina Chimica Acta was introduced as trilingual journal meaning that we can accept to publish articles in any kind of three languages such as bahasa Indonesia, English, and French. Starting April 2017, however, the publication has been made in English only, no more in bahasa Indonesia nor in French. Currently, Marina Chimica Acta is an international medium and occasional reviews of the publications of original studies (research papers) and occasional reviews in the field of marine chemistry. The journal will endeavor to cover all aspects, from chemical processes to theoretical and experimental work, and by providing a central channel of communication, to speed the flow of information in rapidly expanding disciplines. Submitted paper should be written in English.

Abstract

Determination Of Age Of Coral Reefs On Panikiang Island, Barru District, Spermonde Islands Through Measurement Activity 14C Using LSC (Liquid Scintillation Counting) Method. This research was using a sample of coral reefs taken from the Panikiang Island, Barru, Spermonde Islands. This research has been carried out by using sample preparation with physic and chemical. Sample preparation was done physically and chemically. Chemical preparation was carried out by using a mixture of NaOH with 30% H2O2 followed by a mixture of HClO4 with 30% H2O2, and finally with HCl solution to produce a clean sample with a weight reduction of 7.94%. Absorption of CO2 through reaction with HCl 10% and NH4OH as Carbosorb .produced K2CO3. The total carbon in the sample solution is 0.2496 gram sobtained through titration method.  Radiocarbon dating method based on the measurement of the specific activity of the samples obtained from the results of counts LSC (Liquid Scintilation Counter) Hidex 300 SL.The specific activity of coral sample is 14.68 ± 4.04 DPM/gC. Age of coral sample which were calculated from the specific activity were 342.04 ± 37.66 years.

Abstract

Heavy metal Cu is an essential metal required by living organisms but a pollutant in water environment when existed in a level above the treshold level. The capability of sponge Clathria reinwardtii in accumulating heavy metals was analyzed according to modified Müller et al. (1998) method, and the sediment was analyzed according to Loring and Rantala in Rochyatun et al., (2006). Cu concentrations were measured by ICP-OES. The results indicate that Clathria reinwardtii was capable of accumulating the highest Cu level compared to other sponges. The highest Cu level analyzed in Clathria reinwardtii was 161.3 mg/kg.

Abstract

We developed a more accurate method of analysis for low-concentration volatile compounds used for the determination of free dimethylsulfide (DMS) in marine phytoplankton by using solid phase (SPME) gas chromatography - spectrometry Mass of GC-MS and head space method. DMSP, as a product of bacteria degradation has been scientifically recognized to be affected by climate change due to increased in sea surface temperature, and form DMS compunds.. The present study is to determine the DMSP concentration and degradation pathway in the oligotrophic region of Spermonde waters. The spatial and temporal correlation between DMSP degrading bacterial codes and biological potential controls for DMS formation in the open seas was examined using a statistical factorial analysis of variance and regression against the spatial (or distance) gradients of the Spermonde coastal waters, the concentration of chlorophyll-a, and diatom community structures. Seawater chemical properties, chlorophyll-a, and diatom samples were collected from several sites in the Tallo-Makassar river estuary, and the Pangkep river in September 2017 (transitional wet-to-dry-season). The result shows that the concentration of the Domination Index was higher in the transition season of 35.2 to 85.2 μM than in other seasons. The abundance of diatoms during the transition season reached 16,534 plankter / mL.

The study was carried out by isolating the polysaccharide extract using aqueous 100 o C and methanol-ethanol precipitation .Purification of polysaccharide done by Column Chromatography DEAE-Cellulose and analysis polysaccharide concentration was using phenol-sulfuric acid. Antioxidant activity of crude extract and polysaccharide fraction was examined using DPPH method, and toxicity test was carried out using Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). The research results reveals that the highest polysaccharide concentration was fraction 7 with value of 0,267 mg/mL, and  the crude extract and fraction  4 have strongest antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 51,22 and 62,25 ppm, respectively. The result of BSLT assay showed that the crude extract and fraction 6 has a highest toxicity with LC50 values of 47,73and 58,48 ppm, therefore it is classified as toxic. The polysaccharide of crude extract and fraction 7 has a potential to be developed as an alternative antioxidant and antitumor agent.

Abstract

Research on utilization of sodium hydroxide as absorber for 14C analysis of coral ages estimation in Langkai Island using LSC (Liquid Scintillation Counting) method has been done. Samples analyzed comes from Langkai Island, which is relatively low disturbing by human activities. Samples were cleaned according to physical and chemical treatment using mixture of acid-base solution: NaOH , H2O2 , HClO4 and HCl. This step remove about 8,62% mass of the sample and it leaves white. Carbonated of sample were remove as CO2 by reaction with HCl 10% and trapped by 5M NaOH as Na2CO3. Total carbon in the sample can be determined by titration method with the total weight of carbon sample are 0,2688 g / 8 mL. Specific activity of carbon-14 in the sample that were counted by Hidex 300 SL liquid Scintillation Counter were 14.72 ± 7.92 DPM/gC related to their age. By applying specific activity of the samples and specific activity carbon-14 in the modern carbon (15.3 ± 0.1 DPM/gC) to radioisotop desintegration equation, the age were 316,90±170,506 years.Keywords : Carbon Dating, Liquid Scintillation Counting, Coral, Spermonde Archiphelago

Abstract

Utilization of diethanolamine (DEA) as an absorbent for 14C analysis using liquid scintillation counting (LSC) on the determination of the age of the coral reefs have been done. Coral reefs are analyzed from the uninhabited Panambungan island which far away from the influence of human activity. Sample preparation, physical and chemical by using 2 acid-base mixture: H2O2-NaOH and HClO4-HCl. At this stage there is a weight reduction of as much as 9.023 gram sample. Carbonate samples reacted with HCl to separate CO2 and sequestration by diethanolamine into carbamate compounds. Total carbon in the sample solution is obtained through the reduction of 0.838 grams before and after absorption. The specific activity of 14C in samples measured by the counter LSC HIDEX 300 SL and obtained 8.4026 ± 6,85 DPM/gC. The specific activity of the sample and the specific activity of modern carbon (15.3 ± 0.1 DPM/gC) is inserted into the equation radioisotope decay, obtained the age of 4955 ± 935 years.
