Abstract

This study investigates the photocatalytic degradation of lignin using TiO2 extracted from ilmenite through a microwave-assisted method. Characterization of the iron sand, which serves as the source of ilmenite, was conducted using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX). The XRF analysis revealed that the iron sand primarily consists of Fe and TiO2, with minor impurities such as Al2O3, MgO, and SiO2. After extraction, the iron mineral content increased significantly, while impurities decreased. EDX analysis confirmed the presence of Fe, O, and Ti elements in the iron sand sample, originating from various iron oxide phases. Subsequent degradation tests on lignin with varying microwave heating durations of ilmenite showed that a 90-minute heating duration achieved the highest lignin degradation percentage of 56.69%. This suggests that the optimum heating time for ilmenite is crucial for maximizing its photocatalytic activity. Overall, the findings highlight the potential of microwave-prepared TiO2 from ilmenite for efficient lignin degradation, with implications for environmental remediation and industrial applications.

Abstract

Increasing industrialization has produced huge amounts of liquid effluents, which are a key source of ecological unrest in diverse ecosystems. The high toxicity level of cobalt in surface water has drawn a lot ofattention; hence,a low-cost adsorbent made from leaves and fibres of Camellia sinensis has been developed to remove cobalt from wastewater. The kinetics of the pseudo-first and second-order sorption interaction, as well as the physicochemical parameters of the precursor adsorbent, was investigated. There was a linear relationship between Cobalt uptake and biosorbent dosage under ideal conditions; the optimum dosage was 4 g. Between 10 to 40 minutes of contact time, clearance of cobalt was greater than 90 per cent. The Gibb’s free energy (∆Go) at various temperatures ranges from -9980 to -1020, indicating a spontaneous system, viable for both parts of the precursor adsorbent. The entropy change (∆So) was found to be +31.05 and +35.12 for tea leaves and fibre respectively, implying a highly disordered biosorption interface. The enthalpy (∆Ho) was found to be-8.58 and -10.03 for tea leaves and fibres hence, an exothermic system was suggested by the enthalpy with a second order kinetics. Therefore, Camellia sinensis is a suitable adsorbent for the effective removal of high cobalt concentrations in wastewater.

Abstract

The TiO2/Ti electrode was successfully synthesized by combining element N and metal Ni on the TiO2 matrix to degrade the organic compound Congo Red under UV-visible radiation. The aim of this study is to obtain Ni@N-TiO2/Ti electrodes and test their performance in degrading Congo Red dye under UV-visible light radiation. The Ni@N-TiO2/Ti electrode was prepared using the Sol-Gel and electrodeposition methods. The presence of nitrogen in N-TiO2 is determined by FTIR and detected at a wavelength of 1.064 cm1. The analysis of UV-Vis DRS indicates an energy gap of 3.06 eV for N-TiO. XRD analysis revealed anatase crystal structure formation and nickel's presence in the Ni@N-TiO2/Ti electrode detected at 2θ 52.8°. The usage characteristics of linear sweep voltammetry indicate that the TiO2/Ti electrode is active under UV light, while the Ni@N-TiO2/Ti electrode is active under visible light. An electrode activity test using the multi-pulse amperometry method showed that the photoelectrocatalysis performance of Ni@N-TiO2/Ti under visible light radiation reached an ideal degradation rate of 36%.

Abstract

This research is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach using interview and survey data collection techniques that aim to gain an in-depth understanding of the patient experience in online hospital registration. The research participants included staff, patients, and patients' families who used the online registration system at Muhammadiyah Bandung Hospital. The results of this study show that patients' experiences with the online registration system include phenomenological aspects. Patients described changes to registration, including ease of access, flexibility of scheduling, and ease of registration through the application or hospital website. It was stated that patients could register online at any time if they wanted to visit. In addition, some patients experienced difficulties in using the online registration system. For example, the clinic you want to visit has a limited quota, the doctor's schedule is not updated, or other obstacles. The use of an online registration system also has benefits in reducing queues at the hospital. Patients said they could avoid long queues and shorten waiting times by registering themselves online. The study concluded that patients' experiences with online registration involved changes in access, control, and waiting time. Although there were some challenges, patients found solutions and benefits in the online registration system. This study highlights the importance of continuously improving technical, interface, and user experience improvements to provide patients with a better experience when using the online registration system.

Abstract

The importance of implementing ergonomics in a hospital environment to improve the occupational safety and health of service workers. Service workers at Rumah Sakit Muhammadiyah Bandung work in an environment that is not ergonomic, they are more vulnerable to health problems such as fatigue, muscle and joint injuries, and even the risk of accidents. The purpose of this study was to determine ergonomic risk control on occupational safety of service personnel at the Muhammadiyah Bandung Hospital. The research method used is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The research techniques were interviews and observations to service officers of the information unit, outpatient registration, and logistics. The results showed that service officers at the Muhammadiyah Bandung Hospital experienced complaints at work due to facilities that were not ergonomic, such as chairs, tables, narrow rooms, and leaking roofs. To reduce the risk of work accidents, hospital management checks the facilities in each room unit every 3 (three) months and conducts training on ergonomic risk control so that officers are more aware and understand the importance of ergonomics to health.
