Abstract

This research investigates the impact of adding ethanol to the preparation of cationic surfactant tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TDAB) solutions on the formation of micelles and the efficiency of cesium ions (Cs) desorption from kaolinite surface. The results of the study demonstrate that an increase in TDAB concentration enhances Cs desorption efficiency, reaching a maximum desorption of approximately 84%, attributed to the significant positive charge of the formed micelles. However, the addition of ethanol results in smaller micelles with lower positive charges, consequently reducing the efficiency of Cs ion desorption. Furthermore, the addition of ethanol also raises the critical micelle concentration (CMC), indicating the potential for micelle formation at higher concentrations. The findings of this study offer crucial insights into understanding the complex interactions among surfactants, ethanol, and mineral surfaces, and their relevance in mineral ion recovery applications.

Abstract

Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles has become an interesting research area because it offers an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative. Green synthesis was successfully carried out using papaya leaf extract (Carica papaya L) where polyphenol compounds were responsible as reducing agents and capping agents. The aim of this research is to determine the characteristics of nanoparticles that have been successfully synthesized using the sol-gel method. ZnO/TiO2 (ZT) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using the green synthesis method with papaya (Carica papaya L.) as a reducing agent. FTIR results from ZnO2 nanoparticles produced an absorption pattern of 880.18 cm-1; 850.43 cm-1; 868.57 cm-1; and 874.76 cm-1 is the stretching vibration of Zn-O-Ti. The particle size of ZnO/TiO2 nanoparticles in variations ZT-0, ZT-1, ZT-3, ZT-5, and ZT-7 is 10.469 nm; 10.98nm; 10.21nm; 11.65nm; and 11.04 nm.

Abstract

L-lysine is an essential amino acid used in various sectors of the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. L-lysine has significant commercial value as a feed additive to promote growth and health in livestock. L-lysine can be produced through two main methods, namely chemical synthesis and microbial fermentation. The demand for L-lysine has been steadily increasing in recent years and is produced every year throughout the world almost through microbial fermentation. L-lysine production through microbial fermentation has the advantage of producing by-products that are non-toxic and have high commercial value. In general, L-lysine is produced using heterotrophic bacterial strains, such as Escherichia coli and Corynebacterium glutamicum. Fermentation time, pH, temperature, glucose concentration, air flow rate and aeration rate are the most important factors in the fermentation process. The L-lysine fermentation process is divided into four parts, namely molasses preparation; preparation of culture media; fermentation; and purification. L-lysine is separated and purified by appropriate downstream processes, involving classical separation or extraction methods (ultrafiltration or centrifugation, ion exchange separation or extraction, crystallization, drying) and sold as powder. Adding L-lysine to feed can improve feed quality. L-lysine can provide benefits in the form of accelerating growth and shortening the production period, so that operational costs can be reduced. This review article discusses L-lysine production, factors influencing L-lysine fermentation, and its application as a feed additive.
