Abstract

Zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) were successfully synthesized by metal salt reduction method using cinnamon as a reductor agent. Particle size analysis showed that the most optimum composition of FeSO4 and polyphenols was at a ratio of 4:1, resulting in Dv(10), Dv(50), and Dv(90) values of 23.7 nm, 44.6 nm, and 178 nm, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy showed that nZVI was spherical and agglomerated. X-ray diffraction pattern showed a peak at  45.03˚  that corresponds to nZVI. The batch test showed that nZVI has Ni(II) and Cr(VI) adsorption activity of 95.58% Ni and 64.29%, respectively.

Abstract

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) could be considered as one of the highly manufactured plastics with a production capacity of multiple millions tons per year. Fillers are recently added to PVC in an attempt to increase its applications in various sectors, especially at tough exposing conditions. Therefore, the current work reports the morphological studies of PVC sheets that contain trimethoprim-tin complexes as additives. The PVC was blended with a low concentration of trimethoprim-tin complexes and thin films have been prepared from the homogenous mixtures. The ultraviolet irritation impact on the morphology and physicochemical properties of the films was studied. It was found that the photodecomposition and photo-oxidation levels of PVC films were lower than the blank film’s ones. The TEM images showed that the undesirable changes in the surface of irradiated PVC films, such as the appearance of dark spots, cracks, and roughness, were minimized once the tin complexes were filled compared with the blank PVC.

Abstract

Usnea misaminensis is an epiphytic medicinal plant from Indonesia that has several benefits, one of which is as an anti-inflammatory. This study aims to predict the ability of three compounds from Usnea misaminensis to inhibit the COX-2 enzyme as a source of prostaglandins using molecular docking. Receptors obtained from RSCB with PDB ID:5IKR were then prepared on UCSF Chimera 1.16 and the ligands (usnic acid, salizinic acid, and evernic acid) were downloaded 2D structure in .pdbqt format from PubChem. Docking simulation is done via AutoDock Vina 1.1.2 embedded in AutoDockTools 1.5.7. The docking results are visualized using PyMOL 2.5.2 and Biovia Discovery Studio Visualizer. Evernic acid showed binding energy (-6.8 kcal/mol) to the COX-2 receptor which was close to the binding energy value of the control ligand. Usnic acid and salazinic acid showed interactions with the same SER530 residue as the reference ligand. Compounds containing anti-inflammatory effects have the lowest binding energy and bind to residues as reference ligands. These results indicate that the compounds from Usnea misaminensis have potential as anti-inflammatory agents, but further research is needed to examine the potential anti-inflammatory activities.

Abstract

Cobalt (Co), as one of the toxic and non-biodegradable heavy metals, has polluted most of the waters, which has an impact on human health and biotic components. Currently, the electrochemical method as a fast, accurate, and reliable technique for detecting heavy metals has been widely developed. Therefore, to obtain results with high accuracy, it is necessary to carry out the analysis under conditions suitable for the heavy metal to be analyzed. In this study, several parameters of Co metal content analysis, such as voltage range, scan rate, and pH were examined using the cyclic voltammetry technique. Metal content analysis using atomic absorption spectrometry was also carried out as a comparison. Based on the results of the analysis of Co metal in the waste solution, it shows that the measurement conditions for the analysis of Co(II) metal are each with a voltage range of 0.75 V to -1.5 V, a scan rate of 200 mV/s, and a pH of 7. The detection limit and quantization limit of Co(II) standard solution are 217.06 mg/L and 723.5 mg/L, respectively, with an RSD of 0.9% and a validity value of the correlation coefficient of 0.9992.

Abstract

Platinum (Pt) nanoparticles were successfully prepared using square wave pulse deposition technique by varying the upper potential. The X-ray energy dispersive spectrum pattern confirmed the formation of Pt nanoparticles on the fluorine-doped tin oxide coated glass substrate. The results of scanning electron microscopy showed that the potential of 0.60 V was able to produced a large number of Pt particles with a unique morphology. The ethanol electrooxidation test conducted using cyclic voltammetry showed that Pt0.60v has the lowest charge transfer resistance value showing high catalytic activity which could be associated to the increase of particle number and its active sites that activated the redox reactions in the system.
