Abstract

In this study, a core-shell nanocomposite was successfully prepared using NiAlFe-LDH as a core coated with polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles with an LDH:PS ratio of 3:1 (PS @NiAlFe-LDH) for the removal of cadmium (Cd2+) from aqueous solutions. PS nanospheres were prepared from styrene monomer recovered from Styrofoam waste. The prepared PS@NiAlFe-LDH was characterized for its structural morphology, elemental composition, surface area, and pore morphology. Results indicated the successful formation of PS nanosphers core coated by platelet LDH shell and a successful adsorption of Cd2+ ions. The maximum adsorption efficiency (95.53%) was achieved under the optimal conditions: pH of 6, PS@NiAlFe-LDH dosage of 0.15 g/100 mL, shaking speed of 200 rpm, and an initial Cd2+ concentration of 100 mg/L at a 90-minute contact time. Langmuir isotherm model was the most accurate in describing the adsorption process with a maximum adsorption capacity of 227.273 mg/g. The pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetics model described the adsorption behaviour of cadmium ions on PS@NiAlFe-LDH surface as the calculated values from the model were close to the experimental values. The adsorption mechanism was a combination of electrostatic attraction, surface complexation/ion exchange and internal diffusion within the pores. PS@NiAlFe-LDH demonstrated significant reusability, with an efficiency of 57.56% after six regeneration cycles. In conclusion, this study indicates that PS@NiAlFe-LDH nanocomposite exhibits high quality and excellent efficiency in removing cadmium ions from aqueous solutions, owing to its porosity and abundance of active groups on its surface, as well as structural stability after adsorption, which makes it a promising material for environmental remediation applications.

Abstract

The increasing demand for crude oil or fossil fuel as a raw material for oil fuel has been steadily rising over time in line with the development that is taking place in Indonesia. However, biofuels are potential vegetable fuels that can be developed as alternative energy because they are renewable and can be renewed to overcome the energy crisis in the future. For this purpose, a double metal catalyst (impregnated with nickel and lanthanum), is used to make biofuels from sunflower seed oil. The effect of metal ratio on the yield of biofuel products is the concern in this study. The temperature of hydrocracking process was 250-330 ℃ with ratio of metal 5% and 10% (metal ratio 1:1 and 1:2). X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows that natural zeolite has a clinoptilolite phase, X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) shows that acid and base activation increases the Si/Al ratio from 4.5 to 5, Scanning Electron Microscope – Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX) shows images of natural zeolite surfaces in the form of aggregate pieces, and Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) shows that acid and base activation increases SBET from 29.96 to 49.73 m2/g and forms a hierarchical natural zeolite. The impregnation of Ni-La/Zeolite catalyst has been successfully carried out using the incipient wetness impregnation method and the best catalyst results were obtained, namely Ni-La/Zeolite 10% (1:2) with a surface area of 15.33 m2/gram. The addition of Nickel and Lanthanum metals caused a decrease in the surface area and average pore diameter of the zeolite. The lowest surface area and average pore diameter were found in the variation of the Ni-La/Zeolite 10% (1:2) catalyst, namely 15.33 m2/gram and 13.99 nm. The highest hydrocarbon yield was found in the hydrocracking process with the Ni-La/Zeolite 10% (1:1) catalyst with gasoline, kerosene and gasoil fractions of 0.91; 0.39 and 8.32 (%wt), respectively. The hydrocarbon compound composition of the catalyst includes n-paraffin 4.43%, isoparaffin 0.21%, cycloparaffin 2.99% and olefin 2.71%.

Abstract

This research employed a green synthesis approach to produce zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, using Aloe vera latex extract as both the natural reducing and stabilizing agent. To improve particle dispersion and suppress agglomeration, Xanthan gum was employed as a biopolymeric modifier. The ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized under ambient conditions without the need for surfactants or hazardous chemicals. Characterization through FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy demonstrated that the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were highly crystalline and adopted a hexagonal wurtzite structure. The incorporation of xanthan gum significantly reduced the crystallite size, enhanced surface homogeneity, and increased the optical band gap energy from 3.19 eV to 3.39 eV. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated using Remazol Yellow (anionic dye) and Rhodamine B (cationic dye) under UV light irradiation. The ZnO-AL/XG nanocomposite exhibited superior photocatalytic performance compared to ZnO synthesized without xanthan gum. This enhanced activity was attributed to improved nanoparticle dispersion, reduced recombination rates of photogenerated charge carriers, and better surface interaction with dye molecules. From the recycling study of ZnO-AL/Xg and ZnO-AL, it has been observed that the photocatalyst is still able to remove the color of the RY and RB solution up to 3 times of use with results above 50% of photodegradation percentage. The findings highlight the potential of Aloe vera–xanthan gum–based synthesis as a sustainable and efficient strategy for producing ZnO nanomaterials applicable in wastewater treatment.
