Abstract

Kasturi tobacco is a major domestic commodity from Jember that is well-valued by cigarette manufacturers for its intense aroma and unique flavor. When faced with government restrictions on cigarette production, the tobacco industry actively explores product diversification, and tobacco essential oil has emerged as a promising alternative. This study focuses on the utilization of Kasturi tobacco leaves from two different geographical locations in South Jember (Balung) and North Jember (Kalisat) to investigate how their location affects the essential oil profile. This study used two main extraction techniques, namely steam distillation and solvent extraction, to collect essential oils. The essential oils were analyzed based on their yield (based on dry weight) and chemical composition using GC-MS. The study showed that in North Kasturi leaves, increasing the steam distillation time resulted in a gradual increase in yield and chemical diversity. However, the steam distillation results for South Kasturi could not be used because the profile obtained was not representative. The difference in extraction methods shows significant results. Essential oil from North Kasturi produced through steam distillation (11 hours) has a lower yield and fewer compounds compared to the solvent extraction method. Solvent extraction results show that North Kasturi tobacco leaves produce a higher yield (5.2426%) compared to South Kasturi (4.0890%). Conversely, South Kasturi oil shows more chemical compound variation (29 compounds) compared to North Kasturi (24 compounds). The results prove that geographical origin affects the essential oil profile.

Abstract

Reduction of iron (Fe) content within fly ash has been conducted by solid-liquid extraction using oxalic acid and citric acid as lixiviant. Separation of iron compounds using magnet and acid treatment have been performed prior to the extraction to decrease the iron concentration within the fly ash. Iron within the fly ash was extracted in several pH condition and several Fe/lixiviant molar ratio to evaluate their effect on the extraction. The extraction performance was evaluated toward residual iron concentration in the fly ash and amount of fly ash after extraction process. Residual iron was determined by spectrometer Uv-Vis using o-phenanthroline whereas the amount of fly ash was determined gravimetrically. Extraction using citric acid at pH of 6 and molar ratio of 1 : 4 has highest iron removal from fly ash whereas the highest fly ash residual was obtained by extraction at pH of 7 molar ratio of 1 : 2. The highest performance of oxalic acid as iron lixiviant was obtained at pH of 6 and molar ratio of 1 : 6 and the highest fly ash residual at pH of 6 and molar ratio of 1 : 3.

Abstract

The global agricultural sector faces a critical paradox: the necessity of increasing food production to support a growing population versus the severe environmental degradation caused by the inefficiency of conventional nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) fertilizers. Conventional fertilizers exhibit nutrient use efficiencies (NUE) often below 50%, leading to substantial economic losses and ecological crises such as eutrophication and greenhouse gas emissions. Slow-release fertilizers (SRFs) offer a viable solution, yet current commercial technologies rely heavily on non-biodegradable synthetic polymers that contribute to soil microplastic accumulation. Nanocellulose, encompassing cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), has emerged as a premier bio-based candidate for next-generation SRF matrices due to its high aspect ratio, mechanical robustness, and abundant reactive surface hydroxyl groups. However, the intrinsic hydrophilicity of native nanocellulose poses a significant challenge in retarding nutrient release in aqueous environments. This review critically examines the role of surface engineering—specifically oxidation, esterification, graft copolymerization, and cross-linking—in modulating the release kinetics of nanocellulose-based fertilizers. We analyze the transition from simple diffusion-controlled mechanisms to complex swelling and erosion-controlled architectures enabled by surface functionalization. Furthermore, we evaluate the environmental implications of these materials through the lens of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), highlighting the potential of agricultural waste-derived nanocellulose to close the loop in a circular bioeconomy. The synthesis of recent data suggests that precise tuning of surface chemistry can increase nutrient retention times from hours to months, positioning functionalized nanocellulose as a cornerstone of sustainable precision agriculture.

Abstract

Determination of phosphate levels can be done using the potentiometric method with cobalt material-based electrodes with various techniques and compositions. This study uses copper metal as a supporting material. Surface coating of copper was carried out using solution of cobalt chloride and cobalt sulphate in various concentrations by applying voltammetric electrodeposition technique. The electrodes produced for each concentration of cobalt source were examined for the peak-reducing current. The potentiometric response was characterized using a standard phosphate solution, and the morphology using SEM. The best electrodes were used for soil phosphate analysis, and the results were compared with spectrometric methods. The results showed that the optimum concentration of cobalt source solution was characterized by the highest reduction peak of cobalt, namely at a concentration of 0.1 M. Electrodes made with chloride solution produced a higher peak of reduction current, had a sensitivity of -16.21 mV/decade which higher than that of electrodes from sulphate solution, namely -14.59 mV/decade in the phosphate concentration range of 0.001-1000 ppm. The morphology of the two types of electrodes also show differences, the electrode made of chloride material has a surface morphological structure that looks uneven and pretty rough, and there are oval grains that form like crystals and have a uniform shape. In contrast, the electrode made of sulphate material looks flatter and smooth and forms lumps. The results of the analysis of phosphate levels in the soil samples using the electrode are similar to the results of the analysis of the spectrophotometric method

Abstract

Azadirahtin is one of the active ingredients in neem oil which acts as an antifeedant and repellant for several types of insects so it is widely used as a pesticide. However, Azadirahtin has a weakness that is susceptible to light which is easy to degrade. The purpose of this study was to encapsulate azadirahtin in neem oil in a lignosulfonate/alginate matrix. Here there are two types of lignosulfonate (LS): LS from technical materials and LS from pure analysis (PA) (higher purity level). The preparation of the alginate matrix was carried out through the ionic gelation method. Characterization of the beads obtained included the degree of swelling carried out using the gravimetric method, the structure using FTIR and the stability of photodegradation using the UV-VIS spectrophotometry method. The results obtained showed that physically the beads had a hydrogel texture with a brownish yellow color. The swelling behavior of the beads showed differences in the degree of swelling pattern of beads with the addition of technical LS and LS Pure analysis (PA). The addition of LS PA Increasing the soaking time increases the degree of swelling, while beads with the addition of Technical LS produce fluctuating degree of swelling. Meanwhile, the results of the photodegradation stability test, a shorter distance between the UV light source and the object shows a higher photodegradation rate
