Abstract

The largest source of waste comes from household activities. One of the wastes that comes from household activities is chicken eggshells waste. Chicken eggshells contain 94% CaCO3 and can be used as a source of calcium to synthesize hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) by the precipitation method. Hydroxyapatite can be used as an adsorbent material because it has pores, inert, and wear-resistant so it can adsorb dissolved metal ions Cr (VI) contained in liquid waste from electroplating process. This research aims to synthesize hydroxyapatite from chicken eggshells and determine the optimum pH, contact time, adsorbent mass, and initial concentration of waste which influence the adsorption efficiency using continuous system column adsorption method with fixed flow rate 25 mL/min. In this study, the metal ions Cr (VI) was chosen as adsorbate because Cr (VI) is the main component in electroplating process. This research started from preparation of chicken eggshells waste then synthesized into hydroxyapatite and characterized using XRD, FTIR, and SEM that known structure formed adsorbent is hydroxyapatite and measuring the initial Cr (VI) concentration in waste using AAS with wavelength 357,9 nm. The result of optimizing are the optimum pH 5, contact time of 60 minutes, 3,5 gram of adsorbent mass, and the initial concentration of waste is 10 ppm. The analyzed were done for Cr (VI) concentration. The result showed 99,48% adsorption efficiency with final concentration of Cr (VI) is 0,07 ppm. The adsorption process followed the Freundlich isotherm model with maximum adsorption capacity of 3,93 mg/g hydroxyapatite.

Abstract

Water is an important natural resource for human survival. Groundwater in calcareous soil areas contains high levels of Ca(HCO3)2 and Mg(HCO3)2 salts and will have a negative impact if consumed continuously. In this study, an adsorption method using tea waste (Camellia sinensis) was conducted to reduce the concentration of Ca(II) ions that cause water hardness. Tea waste was activated with 0.1 N HCl for 24 hours. Tea waste was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Determination of optimum conditions was carried out at pH variations of 4, 6, and 8, with contact times of 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes, and adsorbent weights were 0,5 grams, 1 gram, 1.5 grams and 2 grams. Tea waste with the best optimum conditions was tested on Ca(II) solutions of various concentrations from 30, 50, and 70 mg/L respectively to determine the maximum capacity for Ca(II) metal ions and the type of adsorption isotherm. Then applied to well water samples analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasm (ICP) to determine the capacity of Ca(II) that can be absorbed by each adsorbent. The results showed that to utilize 0.1 N HCl-activated tea waste as an adsorbent for Ca(II) metal ions were optimum at pH 8, with a contact time of 30 minutes and an adsorbent weight of 0.5 grams. The maximum adsorption capacity was obtained at Ca(II) solution concentration of 70 mg/L with an adsorption capacity value of 6.704 mg/g. The adsorption isotherm corresponding to the tea waste adsorbent is the Freundlich isotherm (r2 = 0.9199). The highest absorption of Ca(II) metal ions in well water samples from the concentration of Ca(II) metal ions was 72.7702 mg/L to 4.877 mg/L, with adsorption efficiency of 93.3% and adsorption capacity of 6.7893 mg/g.

Abstract

Acne is a skin disease that causes humans to lack confidence in carrying out activities. Besides being sick, acne worsens the beauty of human skin. The cause of acne is gram-positive bacteria, namely Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes. Many studies reported that Coffea canephora L can inhibit the growth of bacteria. The objective of this study is to establish the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the ethanol extract of robusta coffee seeds in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The ethanol extract of C. canephora L seed was obtained by maceration method using 96% ethanol. The extract obtained was evaluated for its antibacterial activity using the agar diffusion method with perforation techniques. The extract was divided into five various concentrations (50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, and 3.125%). The results of this study indicated that the ethanol extract of coffee seeds with a concentration of 50% resulted in a wider diameter of the zone of inhibition of bacterial growth in S. aureus, 30.00 mm compared to P. acnes, 26.22 mm. The MIC of ethanol extract for S. aureus at 3.00%  while P. acnes was 6.00%.  In conclusion, the antibacterial effect of the ethanol extract of coffee seeds at 50% concentration was stronger against S. aureus bacteria than P. acnes. The greater the concentration of the extract, the wider the resulting inhibition zone.

Abstract

The low availability of energy resources is in line with the increasing human need for these resources, such as fossil fuels which are increasingly expensive because they are difficult to obtain right. Bioethanol is an environmentally friendly liquid produced from the glucose fermentation process from carbohydrate sources of natural raw materials with the help of microorganisms in baker's yeast. The focus of the research is on the waste of kepok banana peels because it has a high starch content of 18.5%. In addition, kepok banana peel waste is easy to obtain and has not been widely used by the community. This study aims to determine the effect of yeast weight and starter volume in the manufacture of bioethanol and the quality of the bioethanol produced by comparing the levels with the reference levels of bioethanol as an alternative fuel. The bioethanol obtained from the starch of the kepok banana peel has gone through a fermentation process with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and refined into pure bioethanol. Based on the related literature review, it shows that the greater the weight of yeast and the volume of starter used in the manufacture of kepok banana peel bioethanol influences the yield of bioethanol content which also increases so that it affects the quality of the bioethanol produced. However, the level of bioethanol that is obtained has not reached the standard range of SNI 7390:2012 with a minimum level of bioethanol as a substitute for fuel being 94.0-95.5%. Thus, bioethanol cannot be used as a substitute for fossil fuels and further research is needed with the use of the optimum amount of yeast and starter volume and re-purification.

Abstract

Sudan is highly dependent on diesel. Diesel is used in agriculture machines, transportation, and other applications. This study has been carried out to produced biodiesel from Jatropha curcas seed oil. Jatropha was chosen because it is not edible, therefore it will not pose a new problem to humans regarding food competition. This research successfully extracted oil from Jatropha curcas seed using n-hexane solvent with yield 39%. The oil than converted to biodiesel by alkaline transesterification process with a conversion yield 92 %. The properties such as flash point, acid value, viscosity, iodine value, density, copper corrosion, cetane number, sulphated ash, pour point, free glycerol, and total glycerol contents were 174 oC, 0.17 mg KOH/g, 8.912 mm2/s, 102 g I2/100 g, 895.8 kg/m3, class1, 51, 0.0047 %, -3 oC, 0.01 %,0.03 %, respectively. These quantities obtained were met most of the biodiesel standards that are ASTM D6751, EN14214, and ASTM D975.

Abstract

Residents of Ciaruteun Udik Village experienced complaints about the well water they use, namely the presence of scale on cooking utensils, soap is difficult to foam, and indigestion due to consuming hard water. One way to reduce water hardness is by adsorption. Coffee grounds can be used as activated charcoal and function as an adsorbent for calcium and magnesium metal ions. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum contact time, pH, and weight of coffee grounds in the maximum adsorption of hardness in water. This study begins with the preparation of samples in hard water and coffee grounds, namely by activation with HCl, then the FTIR test of coffee grounds before and after activation. Activated coffee grounds charcoal was tested for adsorption capacity against hardness in water with variations in contact time, pH, and weight of the adsorbent. The results showed that coffee grounds activated charcoal can be used as an adsorbent in reducing water hardness. The optimum pH and contact time of coffee grounds activated charcoal in adsorption of hardness in water was at a contact time of 75 minutes and pH 7 with a hardness level in water of 565.17 mg CaCO3/L decreasing to 56 mg CaCO3/L. The optimum weight of coffee grounds activated charcoal in adsorption of hardness in water was 10 grams with hardness levels in water from 565.17 mg CaCO3/L decreasing to 12 mg CaCO3/L.

Abstract

Liquid waste is one of the factors causing contamination of the aquatic environment. One of the chemical parameters of water quality namely Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). This research was conducted at three different concentration levels, namely low, medium, and high, with samples of river water, domestic wastewater, and sago liquid waste. The method used is UV-Vis spectrophotometry (SNI 6989.2: 2019) and FAS titrimetry (APHA, 2017 methods 5220 D); for the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method in the range 90 mg/L, the wavelength was measured at 420 nm, while for high levels in the range 100 mg/L x 900 mg/L, it was measured at 600 nm. The quality control parameters used are accuracy and precision parameters. The purpose of this study was to compare the COD determination between UV-vis spectrophotometry and FAS titrimetry and to determine the validity and correlation of the two methods—a comparison of the results of the two methods used in the F test. The results showed that the COD values from UV visible spectrophotometry and FAS titrimetry yielded good precision and accuracy values and met the acceptable limits, namely %RSD 10% and 90% accuracy %R 110%. However, the results of the COD analysis using the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method were lower by 0.8556 than the results of the COD analysis using the FAS titration method, with a correlation coefficient r2 = 0.982. The average concentration of UV-Vis spectrophotometry in samples of sago wastewater was 572.141 mg/L, domestic wastewater was 113.525 mg/L, and river water was 42.98 mg/L. The average COD level of the titrimetric method in sago wastewater was 641.888 mg/L, domestic wastewater was 219.251 mg/L, and river water was 58.016 mg/L. The results of the F test for these two methods produce an Fcount Ftable. The null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, meaning there is a significant difference between the two methods.
