Abstract

Removal of Heavy Metals from Liquid Laboratory Waste Using Precipitation and Adsorption Methods. Liquid laboratory waste (such as residue of chemical oxygen demand/COD analysis) contains high concentration of heavy metals (mercury/Hg, silver/Ag and chrome/Cr) and has a high potential to pollute the environment. The liquid waste generated by laboratories is generally in small quantity, but it is extremely toxic. It is urgently in need to find out an appropriate method to reduce the problems according to the liquid waste characteristics. In this research work, precipitation and adsorption methods were evaluated to remove Hg, Ag, and Cr from liquid laboratory waste, covering determination of optimum process conditions, levels of removal and achievable treated waste quality. Results showed that a Cr removal of 97% was obtained by pH 10, and Hg and Ag removals of 97-99% were reached by pH 12. Although heavy metals removals using precipitation was very significant, but the concentration of heavy metals in the treated waste was still high (0.73-2.62 mg/L) and need for further treatment. Applying activated carbon adsorption for further treatment of the effluent reduced dissolved heavy metals to 0-0.05 mg/L, depending on the type of heavy metals as well as the type and dosing of activated carbon.

Abstract

Monitoring on Heavy Metals Content in Sea Water and Sediment in the Waters of Bacan Island, North of Maluku. Measurement on heavy metals content in seawater and sediment in the waters of Bacan Islands, North of Maluku were carried out in September 2005. That heavy metals are Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, and Ni. Seawater and sediment sample collected from 10 station by purposive sampling, in line with the goal of the research. The results showed that the heavy metals content in seawater still in line with the threshold value (NAB) stated by The Office of State Ministry for Life Environment (KMNLH) but in sediment heavy metals content is high relative, especially Cu and Ni has passed the threshold value for sediment. Beside heavy metal content also measured physical and chemical parameters such as temperature, salinity, total suspended solid, light transmission, dissolved oxygen, acidity, phosphate and nitrate. The result also indicated that parameters still in line with the threshold value stated by KMNLH for marine organism. Based on heavy metals content, the value of seawater quality status included into class A (fine) with score 0. Heavy metal content in sediment is higher than seawater, this condition indicated there are heavy metals accumulation in sediment.

Abstract

Preparation of Activated Carbon from Maize Stems by Sulfuric Acids Activation and Their Application in Copper (II) Ion Sorption. Activated carbons were prepared from maize (Zea mays L.) stems by sulfuric acids activation or chemical methods. The dry maize stems are usually used as low-value energy resources in many countries, burned in the field, or discarded, which are unfavorable to environment. This motivates the investigation of producing value-added products from the dry maize stems, such as activated carbons, as well as solving some environmental problems. The preparation process consisted of sulfuric acid impregnation at different impregnation ratio followed by carbonization at 250–400 o C for 1–4 h. The results show that the impregnation ratio was 1.25, the optimum activation temperature was 300 o C and the activation time was 1 h. The sorption capacity of the activated carbon was 25.1 mg/g.

Abstract

Effects of Casein Hydrolisate and Light Intensity on Production of Biomass and Canthinone Alkaloid in Cell Suspension Cultures of Pasak Bumi (Eurycoma longifolia Jack). A study on the effect of several concentrations of casein hydrolysate and light intensity to produce biomass and canthinone alkaloid in cell suspension culture of Pasak Bumi (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) was conducted. The research was an experimental study with block random design non factorial. For study of casein hydrolysate was used 8 (eight) of concentration treatments, i.e. 0.00, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 2.00, dan 5.00% (w/v). Beside for study of different light intensity effect was used five of light intensity, i.e. 0, 190, 290, 585, and 1525 lux. The results showed that addition 0.1–2.0% (w/v) of casein hydrolysate into culture medium did not show the effect on production of cell biomass compare with without casein hydrolysate. Total of alkaloid produce increased two fold in the culture medium containing 0.1% casein hydrolysate. The medium with addition 5% casein hydrolysate significantly decrease of increased fresh weight, dry weight and total of alkaloid compare with medium without or additions of casein hydrolysate at 0.1–2.0% concentration. Besides, the modifications on light intensity (0–1525 lux) did not effect the production of cell biomass in culture medium, but the place of E. longifolia Jack cell suspension culture at light of 1525 lux was found have to stimulate increased the total of 9- methoxycanthin-6-one in cells.

Abstract

Influence of Co-Doping of Ni (II) on Photocatalytic Activity of TiO2 for Pathogenic Bacteria Inhibition. Nanoparticle titanium dioxide (TiO2) has most attention in the past decade, since it can be applied as alternative material on sterilization photocatalyst process. This research focused on increasing performance of titania such as structure, particles size and surface area through Ni ion doped on TiO2 surface by sol-gel technique. Product were used to design of a photobioreactor for sterilization process from pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. Product were characterized using Thermogravimetric-Differential Thermal Analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmition Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopes-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) dan Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET). Titanium dioxide with anatase structure have 12.1 nm in particles size and surface area 49.6 m2 / g that have higher inhibition rate to bacteria cell. Photobiocatalytic reaction was carried out in various TiO2-Ni concentration and UV irradiation times. The anti bacteria from TiO2-Ni to all bacteria cell suspension after UV irradiated at λm : 365 nm has good synergistic effect. Effect of mechanical treatment by sonicator showed the increasing inhibition rate around 4% for 120 minute irradiation. Inhibition rate optimization for each bacteria gave different efficiency inhibition to TiO2-Ni concentration 1.5-2.0 g/L. TiO2-Ni powder inhibited growth of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus around ≥ 95% for 120 minute irradiation, while Bacillus subtilis resistance with inhibition percentage rate only 88.1%.

Abstract

Mathematical Model for Synthesis Reaction of Diacylglycerol by Irreversible Esterification Mechanism. Diacylglycerol, a component of natural oil has beneficial physiological function, mainly as oil with anti-obesity and anti fat accumulation effect. Several studies for efficient synthesis of diacylglycerol have been done by researchers in Japan. Esterification of fatty acid and glycerol using biocatalyst has been used as an effective synthesis process on it was industrial scale. A kinetics model for diacylglycerol synthesis was proposed, however, it was very specific so that not appropriate to be applied in different condition. In this study, a model for diacylglycerol synthesis by stepwise esterification of glycerol by fatty acid based on general assumption and condition is proposed. Runge-Kutta method is used in numerical calculation of substrate concentration. This model is useful for predicting behaviors of substrate at esterification of fatty acid and glycerol which is difficult to be measure experimentally, also as prediction in system design for diacylglycerol synthesis at different scale.

Abstract

The bacterial blight (BB) disease severity on two rice genotypes i.e.; BP 4110-2d-33 (backcross between Ciherang x Angke; containing Xa-4, xa-5) and BP 3688e-23 (sister lines derived from cingri/memberamo//widas///IRBB 8; containing xa-8) were lower compare with TN-1 (containing Xa-14). The total amino acid content in cultivar’s TN-1 was accounted for about one third to about a half of total amino acid than those of other rice genotypes where the total amino acid was ranging from 1.95% to 4.22%. In BP 3688e-23, and BP 3688e-22 genotypes more amino acid levels were decline although these advance lines showing xa-8 background. BB resistant gene carried by BP 4110-2d-33 and BP 3688e-23 were stable, whilst BP 3688e-22 was less effective to inhibit BB disease severity. Overall, amino acids were not found to be related to the level of BB resistance; where correlation between amino acid content and BB disease severity is not significant. The slower growth of Xoo on rice genotypes BP 4110-2d-33 and BP 3688e-23 may probably due to other than nutritional factors. The degree of resistance in rice genotypes infected by races of pathogen; as well as the resistance gene possessed by genotype BP 3688e-23 need to be further determined.

Abstract

In order to shorten the measurement time of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), a BOD sensor based on yeast metabolism was developed. Local yeast, Indonesian Origin, Candida fukuyamaensis UICC Y-247, was used as a transducer. The yeast was immobilized as a thin film in agarose matrix with the auxiliary of Nafion® acting as the membrane for ion exchange process. The film was then attached to gold-modified glassy carbons and used as transducer on the working electrodes. The measurements were conducted by observing the depletion of glucose concentration using multipulse amperometric method and then converted to BOD values. Optimum condition was observed in a waiting measurement time of 30 min at an applied potential of 450 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl). Linearity was shown in glucose concentration range of 0.1–0.5 mM, which was equivalent to BOD concentration range of 10–50 mg/L. A detection limit of 1.13 mg/L BOD could be achieved. Good repeatability was shown by a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 2.7% (n = 15). However, decreasing current response of ~50% was found after 3 days. Comparing to the conventional BOD measurement, this BOD sensor can be used as an alternative method for BOD measurements.
