Abstract

Nature-inspired technology has been investigated widely. Anti biofouling properties of fish scale has inpired to improve membrane performance. Biofouling affects an oil-water separation membrane. The bacterial, coagulant, and hydrophobic oils attach to the membrane surface, demanding periodic cleaning. To overcome the problems, surface modification materials are introduced namely superoleophobic surface. The superoleophobic surface promises antifouling, high flux, and high separation efficiency. Superoleophobic surfaces are inspired by the scales on fish that form a hydrogel-like layer on their surface. The hydrogel repels oil and any organic materials, keeping the surface clean. The hydrogel of fish scales can be mimicked by cellulose-based materials. A dense layer of hydroxyl groups absorbs a lot of water and forms a hydrogel bond. The membrane with the cellulose hydrogel-like structure will perform a superoleophobic characteristic surface. The characteristic can be utilized as a functional membrane for oil-water separation. This article reviews the principle, mechanism, current development, and future challenges of bioinspired superoleophobic surfaces from cellulose-based materials for membrane applications.

Abstract

Nanopowder pigments of CeO2 and CeO2:Fe were synthesized by precipitation method at a moderate calcination temperature of 500oC. The pigments exhibited pale yellow for CeO2 nanopowder and brick red for CeO2:Fe nanopowder. Both pigments possessed mesoporous and cubic fluorite structures of CeO2. The incorporation of Fe into CeO2 reduced crystallite size and increased surface area. Moreover, it widens bandgap energy and significantly improved the absorption property of CeO2 nanopowder.

Abstract

Water loss has become a problem with the balance of a water system, including one in the industry. General opinion has considered evaporation as one of the main justifications for explaining the water loss, especially in the area with a higher daily temperature. A study was conducted on a wastewater treatment system owned by a manufacturing industry consisting of semi-open-air sedimentation and aeration ponds, which suddenly experienced a significant deficit in its water balance. Problem-solving was performed by 8-Step Problem Solving approach and root causes were confirmed by estimating water evaporation. The actual water evaporation rate (E) was approached by pan evaporation (Epan) using the partial pressure of the water vapour and the pan evaporation coefficient (Kpan). The study revealed that evaporation (1.670.59mm.d-1 and 1.720.62mm.d-1, for sedimentation pond and aeration pond, respectively) was not the main cause of sudden significant water loss (R2 = .490, p-value .05) and confirmed another root cause. In parallel, a water balance model was constructed and fitted the actual condition (R = .987). A countermeasure was performed against the confirmed root cause followed by a monthly evaluation of water loss using the constructed model with a 3 threshold value (UCL = 9.55%) which showed the elimination of the problem.

Abstract

Cationic dyes such as methylene blue are among the most widely used dye in the textile and paper industry. The dye waste produced causes environmental pollution and is harmful to human health. Thus, wastewater treatment becomes an important aspect of reducing this problem. Adsorption is a very effective method for treating various wastewaters due to its high selectivity and capacity. This study aims to prepare an adsorbent from graft copolymer acrylamide onto cellulose with the addition of activated carbon microwave-assisted and to test its performance as an adsorbent for methylene blue. The adsorbent synthesis was carried out using a microwave-assisted graft copolymer technique. The graft of acrylamide onto cellulose with the addition of activated carbon was carried out at various times (3, 4, and 5 minutes). Based on the FTIR spectra characterization of the adsorbent, the functional groups are C=O and N-H, and SEM analysis shows that the surface forms an interconnected network. At 3, 4, and 5 minutes of irradiation, grafting ratios were 329.72, 128.00, and 150.12, with grafting efficiency of 99.74, 72.94, and 78.02%. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent on methylene blue was 14.00, 6.04, and 9.97 mg/g, respectively, following the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo second order kinetics. The experimental results show that the adsorbent can effectively remove or eliminate methylene blue in an aqueous solution.

Abstract

Biodegradable foam(biofoam) is a type of bioplastic that is used as an alternative packaging to replace styrofoam which is safe and environmentally friendly. This study aims to determine the characteristics of biofoam made from cassava peel starch (A) and banana peel starch (B), as well as the effect of adding chitosan to the physical, mechanical, and biodegradation properties of the resulting biofoam. In the manufacture of biofoam, the variation of the A:B ratio used is 1:0; 3:2; 1:1 (%w/w). While the chitosan content added was 0%, 15%, and 30% by weight of starch and blowing agent NaHCO3 with a content of 12% by weight of starch. The production of biofoam was carried out using the thermopressing method with a printing temperature of 125C and a printing time of 7 minutes. The results of biofoam were characterized by density, water absorption, compressive strength, biodegradation, and FTIR functional groups. Based on the research results, it is known that biofoam is close to commercial biofoam standards, namely biofoam with an A:B ratio of 3:2 and the addition of 15% chitosan with a density value of 0.560 g/cm3, the water absorption capacity of 33.68%, compressive strength value of 5, 05 MPa, and the decomposition power of 17.44%. These variations have functional groups NH, OH, CH, C=O, CN, and CO.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the electrocoagulation method in reducing turbidity, color concentration and COD levels on Jumputan wastewater treatment. The electrodes used are aluminum plates as anode and cathode. The variations of the research used were the speed of agitation and the system used (batch and intermittent system). The fixed variable used is a voltage of 3.5 volts, the 2 aluminium electrodes, and 250 ml volume of Jumputan wastewater. The results showed that the maximum turbidity degraded to 99.89% for the batch system at a contact time of 150 minutes with agitation speed of 150 rpm, and 99.97% for intermittent system at a contact time of 60 minutes with agitation speed of 150 rpm. The maximum percentage of color removal reached 58.90% for the batch system at a contact time of 90 minutes with a stirring speed of 50 rpm, and 54.74% for intermittent system at a contact time of 150 minutes with a stirring speed of 150 rpm. The electrocoagulation method could reduce 78.75% of the COD level for the batch system is and 80% for the intermittent system. The intermittent system slightly had more effect on the turbidity, color and COD reduction compared to batch system. Both batch and intermittent system got optimum turbidity and color removal on first 30 minutes of electrocoagulation process. The results prove that electrocoagulation method has been effective as an alternative to reduce COD and turbidity on Jumputan wastewater.

Abstract

Illegal gold mining carried out using amalgamation techniques produce mercury waste which can then damage the environment and damage the health of residents. The negative impact due to the use of mercury is dead fish, contaminated river water, water quality below environmental standard quality and spreading in the food chain. This has caused environmental damage, one of which is in terms of land and water. This condition is the basis for conducting deeper research on environmental damage by mercury waste, especially in terms of soil and water. The sampling method used is the Geochemical Method and Geoelectric Method. Geoelectric samples were taken using the superstring R8 tool. Geochemical samples used were soil and water samples which were subsequently tested by the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) methods to see the mercury levels that had been scattered in the research location. The study aims to determine the distribution of mercury waste and its levels. This research includes sampling, sample testing, data processing and analysis, and making maps of the distribution of mercury waste through QGis software. From the study, it was found that the distance from the traditional gold mining processing location determines the concentration level (Hg). Analysis using AAS shows that there were 13 samples had mercury concentrations above the critical threshold. From the analysis, it is also known that AAS could not detect mercury levels in soil samples which is different from the results obtained using XRF.

Abstract

The four-layered Aurivillius SrBi4Ti4O15 compound has been reported to be potentially used as a photocatalyst material. In this research, SrBi4Ti4O15 was prepared by the molten salt method using NaCl/KCl and then used to degrade methylene blue. The analysis of sample diffractogram indicated that the SrBi4Ti4O15 was obtained but there was still the impurities of Bi4Ti3O12. The micrograph showed that particle shape of SrBi4Ti4O15 is plate-like (sheets) with a lot of agglomeration. The band gap energy of SrBi4Ti4O15 is 3.14 eV (394.85 nm), according to the Kubelka-Munk calculation from the spectrum of reflectance. The photocatalytic test results showed that SrBi4Ti4O15 degraded methylene blue to 47.8% in 120 minutes.
