Abstract

This study investigates the effect of magnesium oxide (MgO) as a filler in enhancing the bioadhesive properties of chitosan and carrageenan-based adhesives. The primary focus is on improving tensile strength, viscosity, solid content, and thermal properties. The results indicate that the addition of 0.75% w/v MgO significantly increased tensile strength from 9.76 kPa to 21.76 kPa and viscosity from 34.26 cP to 617 cP with a 0.5% w/v MgO addition. The solid content also increased from 9.81% to 13.19% with increased MgO concentration. The addition of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) reduced curing time, enhancing process efficiency. Scanning Electron Microscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy confirmed improvements in structural and chemical stability, while Differential Scanning Calorimetry showed better curing efficiency. This study suggests MgO as a potential filler to improve mechanical properties and adhesion of bioadhesives, relevant for medical applications.

Abstract

Edible coating is a food preservation technique by coating using antimicrobial substances which can inhibit the growth of bacteria. This research aims to develop an edible coating from shrimp shell waste with liquid smoke additives as antibacterial packaging for processing beef sausages. Chitosan is made in three stages, namely demineralization, deproteination and deacetylation. Beef sausages coated with edible coating were tested using organoleptic and antibacterial tests. The results of this research showed that the highest degree of deacetylation of chitosan was found in the variable concentration of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) 55% with a degree of deacetylation value of 93.59%. The water and protein content in beef sausages coated with edible coating with liquid smoke showed values of 52.45% and 12.65% on the 7th day. This is in accordance with the Indonesian National Standards (SNI). Coating beef sausages using edible coating from 2% chitosan with 8% liquid smoke solvent has antimicrobial properties because in the antibacterial test a clear zone appeared on the beef sausages coated with edible coating.

Abstract

Processing End Life Tire (ELT) rubber powder into activated carbon is an alternative for handling tire waste. One way to improve physical properties such as proximate characteristics, surface area and pore diameter of activated carbon is through chemical activation assisted by ultrasonic irradiation. This research aims to determine the effect of ultrasonic irradiation time with potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation on the quality of ELT rubber activated carbon. Activated carbon was synthesized and activated using 30% KOH at various ultrasonic irradiation times, namely 0 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes and 60 minutes. Based on the characterization results, activated carbon with an ultrasonic irradiation time of 30 minutes is the active carbon that has the most superior properties. The proximate characteristics of activated carbon meet the active carbon quality requirements of SNI 06–3730–1995 and have the highest surface area, namely 401.11 m2/g and pore diameter of 2.1652 nm, which is included in the mesoporous structure category so that it has the potential to be applied as an adsorbent for heavy metals from contaminated fluid.

Abstract

Plasticizers play an important role in the rubber industry to facilitate the dispersion of additives into rubber. This research aims to study the effect of plasticizer mixing sequence on vulcanization kinetics. This relates to its effect on printing time and energy, as well as the cost of electricity used. Compound A was made by adding plasticizer at the mastication stage and compound B was made by adding plasticizer at the masterbatch stage. Kinetic parameters were determined using Deng-Isayev and Kamal-Sorour models. The results show that the Deng-Isayev model is closer to the experimental data than the Kamal-Sorour model. Compound A has a k value (3.0635x10-6 sec-1) and cure index (0.8403) slightly lower than compound B with a k value 3.3511x10-6 sec-1 and cure index 0.9260. However, the mixing order of the plasticizers did not significantly affect the vulcanization performance, either the reaction speed constant, reaction order, induction time, optimal vulcanization time, and cure index.

Abstract

Particle size distribution is one of the important physical parameters in industry. A new method has been developed, the buoyancy weighing-bar method to determine the particle size distribution. This study examines the application of the buoyancy weighing-bar method for the determination of the particle size distribution of glass powder. Measurements were made by varying the type of liquid, the type of rod, and the size of the rod length. From this study, it was obtained that the best condition in determining the particle size distribution of glass powder is using aluminum rods with a length of 210 mm in 96% ethanol. The results of determining the particle size distribution of glass powder by using the buoyancy weighing-bar method at the best conditions are comparable to the results of determining the particle size distribution obtained using the settling balance method.

Abstract

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is the main waste generated from the palm oil industry. LCPKS has a COD level of 57,000-60,400 mg/L. High levels of COD can harm the environment. LCPKS treatment techniques generally use a combination of anaerobic and aerobic waste treatment methods. The anaerobic process has been conducted using a UASB-HCPB reactor. But, the COD levels of anaerobic results have not reached the quality standards so that further processing is needed. Microalgae have the potential to reduce contaminant levels in wastewater. Chlorella vulgaris microalgae is a microalgae that is widely used in wastewater treatment. This study utilized Chorella vulgaris in reducing the COD levels of the effluent of the UASB-HCPB biogas fermentor with variations in lighting intensity and variations in the ratio of effluent to microalgae. It was found that the lighting intensity of light:dark (24:0) hours provided optimal microalgae growth so as to provide the best COD reduction with a COD reduction efficiency of 87.5%. The ratio of microalgae to effluent of 1000 mL: 500 mL showed the best COD reduction with an efficiency of 93.75%.

Abstract

The skin serves as a protective barrier against dust and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Excessive UV exposure is associated with accelerated skin aging, erythema, hyperpigmentation, and carcinogenesis. This study aimed to quantify flavonoid concentrations and characterize phytochemical constituents in shallot skin extracts for their potential as active ingredients in sunscreen formulations. Shallot skin was subjected to microwave assisted extraction using 70% ethanol as the solvent. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids in the extract. Flavonoid content was determined via UV-Vis spectrophotometry, yielding 36.33 mgQE/g. The high flavonoid concentration observed in shallot skin extract suggests its potential efficacy as an active ingredient in sunscreen formulations.

Abstract

The papaya seed oil is a non-food oil that can be used as raw material for biodiesel. The transesterification process using oil as raw material requires long process stages so it is not efficient. In situ transesterification with a co-solvent is an alternative to overcome this problem. This research aims to obtain optimum conditions for the in situ transesterification reaction of papaya seed oil with THF co-solvent. The research operating conditions included stirring speed 450 rpm, reaction at room temperature, oil:methanol molar ratio = 1:101.39, catalyst:oil molar ratio = 0.5:1, oil:THF molar ratio = 1: 67.85, reaction time are 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28 minutes and reactions with and without a NaOH catalyst. The best research conditions were obtained in the in situ transesterification reaction of papaya seed oil with THF co-solvent using a NaOH catalyst at a reaction time of 33 minutes, producing a crude yield of 74.38% and methyl esters concentration of 98,036.4 ppm and physical properties of biodiesel that met SNI 7182-2015, namely density 0.89 g/mL and acid number 0.44 mg KOH/g sample.
