Abstract

Synthesis of mesoporous silica (MCM-41) and mesoporous silica grafted with metal ion Ni(II) to form material (Ni/MCM-41) has been successfully carried out using the hydrothermal method. The results of the MCM-41 X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) characterization show a strong peak at 2q of 1.260 due to the reflection plane (100) and a very weak signal at 2q of 3.0° and 3.3° which corresponds to the reflection plane (110) and (200). The XRD pattern at this small angle indicates that MCM-41 material has been formed. MCM-41 is used as a support for grafting Ni(II) metal ions. After the Ni(II) metal ion was grafted to form Ni/MCM-41 material, the diffraction peak pattern did not change, but only a shift of the diffraction peak to the left (at a smaller angle), namely (100); (110) and (200) of 10°; 2.8°, and 3,0°. This proves the loading of 1% Ni(II) metal ions; 3% and 5% did not change the structure of MCM-41. Based on the FTIR results, the grafting of Ni(II) metal ions has been successful. Evidenced by the decrease in the absorption intensity of surface silanol groups in the range 3700-3200 cm-1 the number has decreased. This result was strengthened by a decrease in the intensity of the siloxane groups (Si-O-Si) in the range of 1250-1000 cm-1. Further evidence is strengthened by the appearance of a new vibrational band below 1000 cm-1 (980-1000 cm-1) which proves the existence of the Si-O-M+ (Si-O-Ni2+) spectrum. The results of this FTIR characterization prove that it has been successful in modifying the surface silanol groups of MCM-41 with metal ion Ni2+ to form Ni/MCM-41.

Abstract

Myrtaceae family plants are widely distributed in the tropics. The leaves of this plant have been widely used by the community as a traditional medicine. This study aims to determine the total antioxidant and total phenolic content of the infusion of five types of leaves of the Myrtaceae family, namely bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum), jambak leaves (Syzygium malaccense), guava leaves (Psidium guajava), water guava leaves (Syzygium aqueum). and duwet leaves (Syzygium cumini). Total antioxidant content was determined using the MPM method and total phenolic content using the Folin Ciocalteau method. The highest total antioxidant content was found in jambak leaf infusion of 122.73 ± 3.10 mg AA/g DW, while the highest total phenolic content was found in guava leaf infusion of 58.84 ± 1.86 mg GAE/g DW.

Abstract

Corrosion inhibitors of daidzein, galangin, genistein, naringenin and luteolin compounds have been studied using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method with the basis set B3LYP/6-31G using the Gaussian program. To prevent corrosion, organic inhibitors are needed which are safe for the environment. Therefore, researchers are looking for other organic inhibitors that have the potential to prevent corrosion. The calculated quantum chemical parameters are EHOMO, ELUMO, gap energy (∆E), ionization potential (I), electron affinity (A), electronegativity (X), hardness (ɳ), softness (σ), electrophilicity (ω), nucleophilicity (ε), mulliken charge density, back-donation energy (Eb-d), electron transfer (∆N), adsorption energy (Eads), and bond energy (Ebinding). Theoretical calculations show that naringenin is a good inhibitor compared to other compounds so that it can be used as an alternative organic inhibitor to replace luteolin. In this research, naringenin is a compound that has the potential as an inhibitor as seen from the structure and parameter calculations that have been carried out, so that naringenin can be used as an organic inhibitor to replace luteolin. The theoretical order of increasing inhibition is naringenin > genistein > galangin > daidzein. This theoretical study will greatly contribute to the experimental research of organic inhibitors because the theoretical increase in inhibition is already known.

Abstract

Banto grass, known as animal feed and tradicional medicine, has anticancer, antioxidant, and antihypertensive effect. The purpose of this study was to determine the secondary metabolite content, antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and cytotoxic activity. Maceration extraction with variation of solvent (hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol) was used to obtain the banto grass extract. Antioxidant activity of the banto grass and control determined using 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazil (DPPH) method: Methanol (IC50 154,75 mg/L), Ethyl Acetate (IC50 224,47 mg/L) and Hexane (IC50 268,59 mg/L). Vitamin C (IC50 9,31 mg/L) served as control.The methanol extract had weak antioxidant activity while ethyl acetate and hexane extract had very weak antioxidant activity. The banto grass was screened for total phenolic content using Folin-Ciocalteu method: Methanol (0,3 mg GAE/g dry extract), Ethyl Acetate (0,23 mg GAE/g dry extract), and Hexane (0,11 mg GAE/g dry extract). There was negative correlation between IC50 and total phenolic content of the banto grass extract. Cytotoxic activity of the banto grass determined using Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method: Methanol (LC50 2454, 14 mg/L), Ethyl Acetate (LC50 233,13 mg/L) and Hexane (LC50 220,39 mg/L). The hexane and ethyl acetate extract had toxic properties while methanol extract had not toxic properties.

Abstract

The transport of Cd(II) has been carried out by means of a bulk phase liquid membrane technique with vegetable oil as an environmentally friendly membrane phase. The transport process consisted of 65 mL of Cd(II) solution as the source phase, 50 mL of corn oil as the membrane phase and 120 mL of EDTA solution as the receiving phase. The experimental technique used a magnetic stirrer at a speed of 200 rpm with an equilibrium time of 15 minutes. The concentration of Cd(II) transported to the source and receiving phase was determined by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy(AAS) at a wavelength of 228.63 nm. It was found that the optimum conditions for Cd(II) transport were at a concentration of 2.8 ppm with pH 6 as the source phase, EDTA concentration of 0.05 M with pH 4 as the receiving phase, stirring speed of 200 rpm, transport time of 120 minutes and equilibrium time of 15 minutes, the amount of Cd(II) transported to the receiving phase reached 19.37% while the remaining in the source phase was 38.54%.

Abstract

One of the ceramic home industries is ceramic making in Galogadang Batusangkar. This home industry uses the basic ingredients of clay mixed with water and then molded and burned, so the resulting ceramic products are less than perfect, hard, and brittle. According to the matter above, we wish to try to look for methods and modify the ceramics home industry by adding some clay that turns yellow and white, sulfate calcium (CaSO4), limestone, iron sand, and chaff ash. The process of ceramic consists of three phases that are pressing powder, drying, and burning. The analysis carried out is the compressive strength test, and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) aims to observe the uniformity of the mixture of the ceramic. XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) determination was done to determine the crystal structure. The component analysis was measured with XRF (X-Ray fluorescence). From the research result, white clay is nicely made by ceramic materials if mixed with sulfate calcium (CaSO4), limestone, iron sand, and chaff ash.
