This paper presents on removal of silver nanoparticles using phytoremediation. In this study, floating macrophyte (Pistia stratiotes) was used for phytoremediation of silver nanoparticles. This study investigated the performance of Pistia stratiotes in the removal of silver nanoparticles using phytoremediation method. The silver nanoparticles were green synthesized by using Muntingia calabura sp. leaves as reducing and stabilizing agent. The silver nanoparticles were successful synthesized as a peak appeared at wavelength 450 nm by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, while Pistia stratiotes had been acclimatized in tank at laboratory. Similar size of Pistia stratiotes had been employed for investigation. Each selected Pistia stratiotes was placed in 5 L bottles water containing different concentration (0.5 ppm, 1.0 ppm, 2.0 ppm and 3.0 ppm) of silver nanoparticles. This study was evaluated using UV-Vis spectrophotometer for five days. The results showed that the highest removal was achieved 69.88% at concentration of 0.5 ppm. This percentage removal relatively decreased up to 55.61% as concentration increase at 3.0 ppm. These results prescribed that phytoremediation of silver nanoparticles by Pistia stratiotes can be considered to apply and implement in water environment for AgNPs removal.

Municipal sewage sludge can be used as fertilizer as it contains a lot of nutrients. By focusing on copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) contents in municipal sewage sludge from primary oxidation ponds and in plant tissue sections, this study attempts to explain the relationship between plant yield and metal concentrations. Raw sludge samples were collected, air-dried, and ground to powder form at the beginning of fieldwork. The metal concentrations of sewage sludge were copper 6.9 mg/kg; iron 330.2 mg/kg manganese 6.7 mg/kg and zinc 9.1 mg/kg. Orthosiphon stamineus (cat’s whiskers) was selected and the plant received a different quantity of sludge application ranging from 1 g to 4 g per plant weekly for six consecutive weeks while observations were done for eleven weeks. Physical parameters such as shrub width and height were monitored to determine plant growth. Through this study, the determined optimum sewage sludge dosage for cats’ whiskers was between 2 to 3 g per plant.

Enzyme-based sensors frequently produce unsatisfactory results such as poor reproducibility and insufficient long-term stability due to the natural instability of enzymes, stringent experimental conditions, and complicated immobilization procedures. Thus, an electrochemical non enzymatic sensor was fabricated by deposition of the multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NP) and also molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). Then, the modified electrode (SPCE/MWCNT/ZnO/MIP) was formed on the surface area of the SPCE. This study wanted to demonstrate the glucose detection between molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) which contained glucose as template, o-phenylenediamine (oPD) and potassium persulfate as initiators in 0.1 M PBS at pH 7 and non-imprinted polymer (NIP) without addition of the template. The characterization and evaluation of various factor such as sensitivity, selectivity and limit of detection (LOD) were investigated through cyclic voltammetry (CV) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to look up onto the surface area of the modified electrode. The SPCE/MWCNT/ZnO/MIP electrode sensor showed a linear glucose concentration range from 0, 0.5, 1, 2 to 5 mM (R2 = 0.9709). The sensitivity of the sensor was 0.3386 μA mM-1 cm-2 with low detection limit of 1.81 mM. The sensor showed good stability and reproducibility along with excellent anti-interference properties to ascorbic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, and acetic acid. Finally, the applicability of the as-prepared SPCE/MWCNT/ZnO/MIP electrode sensor was successfully studied for detection of glucose. The results obtained for our sensor confirm that it is a promising non-enzymatic glucose sensor to be used for practical purpose.

Biodegradation of an antimicrobial compound triclosan under sulfate reducing condition Boopathy, Raj; Cortez, Jacob
Environmental and Toxicology Management Vol. 2 No. 1 (2022): Waste management and environmental remediation
Publisher : Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya

Triclosan is an antibacterial and antifungal agent that is present in many detergents and surgical cleaning treatment products. This antimicrobial compound is discharged from households and collected at the local sewage treatment plant. Because triclosan inhibits phospholipid biosynthesis, it affects the microbial population that perform waste degradation. Sewage treatment plants are the major reservoir of triclosan as the wastewater from various households are discharged and treated in the local sewage treatment plant. This study was conducted to determine whether triclosan degradation occurs in the anaerobic digester of the Thibodaux Sewage Treatment Plant. Bacterial enrichment cultures were developed under various electron acceptor conditions including nitrate-reducing, sulfate-reducing, and mixed electron acceptor condition. The results showed the bacterial consortia developed under various conditions were not inhibited by 100 ppm of triclosan. More than 96% of triclosan was removed in both co-metabolic and triclosan as the sole carbon source conditions under sulfate-reducing condition. The molecular analysis of the consortium showed wide biodiversity of bacteria in the consortium.
