Abstract

Slag waste from the metal refining industry, if left to accumulate for a long time, can become a source of environmental pollution due to the content of heavy metals that can dissolve and spread to the surrounding environment. However, slag can also be an alternative source for obtaining valuable metals. Aim: This study aims to examine the ability of diethylaminedithiocarbamate ligands to recover nickel metal from slag waste through the mechanism of complex compound formation. Methodology and results: The extraction process was carried out at the optimal pH for each ligand to maximize the selectivity and efficiency of metal recovery. Characterization of the complex compounds from the reaction was carried out using various analytical techniques, including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and melting point tests to determine the thermal stability of the compound. The study results indicate that diethylaminedithiocarbamate ligands can selectively form complex compounds with nickel metal in slag and are effective in recovering metals from slag waste with a recovery value of 94.88%. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: The results of this study indicate that using diethylaminedithiocarbamate ligands can be an environmentally friendly approach to using slag waste as a secondary source of metals.

Abstract

Aim: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Eco Enzyme and EM1-based mudballs in improving river water quality by reducing COD and TSS. Methodology and Results: The study was conducted using an experimental method in the laboratory with four variations of mudballs, i.e. mudballs without additions, mudballs with Eco Enzyme, mudballs with effective microorganisms (EM1), and mudballs with a combination of Eco Enzyme and EM1. Artificial river water samples were made using glucose and kaolin solutions, and water quality was measured using the closed reflux method for COD, the gravimetric method for TSS, and pH measurements. Conclusion, significance and impact study: The results showed that all variations of mudballs were able to reduce COD and TSS values, but only the variation with a combination of Eco Enzyme and EM1 showed the most significant reduction in COD even though it had not reached the quality standard according to Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021. This variation was also effective in removing 100% TSS, and all variations managed to maintain the pH value within a safe range (6-9). The conclusion of this study is that the combination of Eco Enzyme and EM1 in mudballs provides the best results in improving river water quality, especially in TSS removal. However, further optimization is needed to remove COD to meet water quality standards.

Abstract

Trihalomethanes (THMs) are disinfection by-products formed from the reaction of disinfectants with natural organic matter (NOM). Aims: This study aimed to analyze the presence of NOM as precursors and THMs removal using a integration of granular activated carbon (GAC) and electrochemical membrane reactor (MER) in drinking water treatment (DWT). Methodology and results: Analysis of GAC performance in reducing NOM through variations in carbon dosage and reaction time. MER is an advanced treatment to reduce THMs in drinking water treatment with parameters of current density and reaction time. The DWT raw water contained NOM: DOC concentration of 5.18 ± 1.99 mg/L and SUVA of 2.04 ± 1.02 L/mg m. Conventional DWT remove 4-60% of NOM. The addition of GAC increases NOM removal up to 68%. MER can remove THM with 40 - 80% for chloroform and bromodichloromethane, while for chlorodibromomethane and bromoform, the removal is 10-50%. Conclusion, significance and impact study: The integration of GAC-MER increases NOM removal up to 90%, and the integration of MER-GAC reduce THMs up to 40-62%. The optimum condition of MER for NOM and THMs removal is at a current density of 20 mA cm-2 and a reaction time of 1 hour. This study is expected to be useful for DWT to control the formation of DBPs that are harmful to human health. The application of MER can reduce DBP as well as other pollutants because MER treatment is a combined treatment of membrane filters and electro-oxidation, and the addition of GAC increases the pollutant removal.

Abstract

Aims: The current study aimed to investigate the feasibility of biohydrogen production from tomato and cabbage waste through dark fermentation with Trichoderma spp. supplementation to enhance substrate degradation. Methodology and results: Laboratory-scale anaerobic reactors with five different Trichoderma concentrations (0.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 g) were operated at room temperature for 112 days, during which hydrogen production, glucose consumption, pH, and temperature were continuously monitored. The highest cumulative hydrogen yield was observed in the treatment with 2.5 g of Trichoderma, achieving 44.65 mmol H₂/mol glucose, which is three times greater than the control. Correlation analysis revealed that optimal biohydrogen production was associated with extended incubation periods, elevated temperatures, and lower pH levels (below 6.0); however, increased concentrations of Trichoderma did not consistently enhance hydrogen yield. The liquid digestate from the best-performing reactor was applied as a biofertilizer for chilli seedlings. The 5% digestate treatment significantly promoted plant height and leaf growth compared to the control, suggesting the beneficial effects of bioactive compounds produced by Trichoderma. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: Reactor supplemented with 2.5 grams of Trichoderma exhibited the highest biohydrogen production, and a 5% digestate concentration enhanced the growth of chilli seedlings. This study demonstrates the dual potential of agricultural waste valorisation, producing renewable energy and supporting sustainable agriculture, highlighting the promising role of microbial-aided fermentation and biofertilizer applications in circular bioeconomy models.
