Abstract

Food is one of human’s primary needs to survive and carry out their activities. Food must be safe, nutritious, and high quality when it’s consumed. In order to maintain food quality, some food ingredients, such as yellow noodles, crackers, and chicken, are often added with formaldehyde and borax, which are dangerous ingredients that are prohibited use as Food Additives (BTP) because their health hazards in accordance with Regulation of Minister Health No. 033 of 2012 and Regulation of BPOM No. 22 of 2023. Therefore, this research aims to identify qualitatively and determine the formaldehyde and borax levels quantitatively in yellow noodles, red crackers, and chicken as an effort to ensure the food safety. The method used in qualitative analysis is a rapid test kit and quantitative is UV-Vis spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 412 nm for formaldehyde and 551 nm for borax. The results of the qualitative analysis test showed that the yellow noodle sample contained formaldehyde and borax as indicated by the color change of the test stick to purple and red, respectively. Meanwhile, according to quantitative analysis, yellow noodles also contained formaldehyde and borax with average levels of 479.09 mg/kg and 44.43 mg/kg, respectively. Red crackers and chicken samples are free from formaldehyde and borax content.

Abstract

Cassava waste containing cyanogenic glycosides is very dangerous for the environment because there is cyanide bound to organic compounds. Cyanide bound to organic compounds is degraded by photolysis using TiO2 catalyst/Clinoptilolite-Ca natural zeolite to break the bond between HCN and organic compounds so that it is no longer harmful to the environment, besides that cassava waste also contains suspended solids and organic compounds that affect water quality, resulting in high COD, BOD, TOC, and TSS values in waters. Therefore, the values of COD, BOD, TOC, and TSS were determined before and after degradation. In addition, the effect of time, mass, and type of catalyst (TiO2, Zeolite, and TiO2/Zeolite) on the percentage of cassava waste degradation was also determined. CN- analysis was performed with a UV-VIS spectrophotometer, where maximum absorption occurred at a wavelength of 573 nm. The optimum time of degradation without catalyst is 75 minutes with a degradation percentage of 20.52%, the optimum mass of TiO2/Zeolite catalyst is 0.8 grams with a degradation percentage of 79.97% at 60 minutes, the percentage of degradation using 0.03 grams of TiO2 is 58.65% at 75 minutes, the percentage of degradation using 0.77 zeolite is 35.43% at 75 minutes. COD value before degradation 1406 mg/L and after degradation 465 mg/L. BOD value before degradation 226 mg/L and after degradation 95.4 mg/L. TSS value before degradation 400 mg/L and after degradation 220 mg/L. While the TOC value before degradation was 546 mg/L and after degradation was 670 mg/L. FTIR analysis of cassava waste shows a peak shift indicating degradation, the 750-1000 cm-1 and 1250-1500 cm-1. While the characterization of the TiO2/zeolite catalyst in FTIR and XRD showed no change in the structure of the TiO2/zeolite catalyst before and after degradation.

Abstract

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) by leaves extract of sungkai (Peronema canescens Jack) was studied by weight loss method, Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), spectroscopy UV-Vis, and optical microscopy. The corrosion rate of mild steel increase with the increase of temperature and decrease with the increase of concentration from leaves extract of sungkai in medium. The weight loss method shows that the inhibition efficiency increased with concentration and increases with temperature increase. The highest inhibition efficiency was 90.70% with the addition of 10 g/L extracts at 60ºC. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the surface of mild steel follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm because it forms a monolayer. Analysis of FTIR and UV-vis spectroscopy showed an interaction between leaves extract of sungkai and mild steel surface. Optical microscopy analysis revealed differences in the surface of mild steel immersed in 1 M HCl medium with and without the addition of extract.

Abstract

The four-layer Aurivillius phase Ca1-xBaxBi3.5La0.5Ti4O15 (x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1) has been synthesized by molten salt method. The effect of varying x on the structure, morphology, and dielectric properties was studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Le Bail refinement revealed that the compounds with the composition x = 0, 0.2, and 0.4 were single-phase product with orthorhombic A21am structure, whereas for higher x value (composition of Ba doped), a Ba2TiO4 impurity is found in products. Changes in unit cell volume were investigated, and the size increased with larger x. The substitution of larger Ba2+ ions resulted in a shorter Ti-O bond, shifting vibration mode to higher wave number that showed in FTIR spectra. SEM images show anisotropic plate-like grain with distributed particle sizes at 1.9 – 3.1μm. The dielectric constant values decrease with increasing x, otherwise the dielectric loss values increase for x = 0 and 0.2, however decrease for x = 0.4. The resulting Aurivillius compound has potential for applications in ferroelectric and piezoelectric devices.

Abstract

Increasing industrial activities throughout the world produce a large amount of waste, including materials that contain heavy metal ions. One of the heavy metals found in industrial waste is copper ion Cu(II). Liquid membrane technology using vegetable oil as the membrane phase can be an environmentally friendly alternative metal transportation process. Transport of Cu(II) ions was carried out using bulk li-quid membrane technology using coconut oil as the phase membrane. According to the Minister of Health Regulation No. 492/menkes/per/IV/2010 concerning Drinking Water Quality Requirements, the threshold limit of Cu(II) ions in waters is 2 mg/L. Many ways have been done to separate heavy metal ions from this industrial waste. In this study, the transport of Cu(II) ions through coconut oil membrane and as the receiving phase of ethylenediaminetetraacetic (EDTA) has been carried out. The optimization results obtained, namely the source phase of Cu(II) metal ions pH 4 with a concentration of 3.147 x 10-4 M, the receiving phase of EDTA solution pH 7 with a concentration of 0.06 M, 200 rpm stirring speed, obtained the transport of Cu(II) metal ions to the receiving phase, namely, 23.44% with a transport time of 1 hour. Furthermore, the test was carried out with the same optimum conditions using HCl as the receiving phase, and the percentage value of Cu(II) metal ions in the receiving phase was 25%, from using the EDTA receiving phase.
