Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to evaluate the implementation of a chemical health and safety management system in an academic chemical process laboratory by identifying chemical and process-related hazards, assessing task-related risks, and examining the adequacy of existing safety control measures in preventing chemical exposure and health risks. Methodology: This study used a descriptive observational design. Tools included a structured laboratory safety checklist and a Task Risk Assessment matrix. Methods involved direct observation, document review, and semi-structured interviews. Reference standards included occupational safety and chemical health management principles. Data were analyzed qualitatively using risk categorization without specialized software. Main Findings: Laboratory activities involved chemical, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and housekeeping hazards. Task Risk Assessment results indicated low, medium, and high-risk tasks, with high-risk activities predominantly associated with chemical exposure during handling and storage, as well as process-related hazards involving heated, pressurized, or moving equipment. Although engineering, administrative, and personal protective equipment controls were available, their implementation was inconsistent and not always aligned with the identified chemical health risks. Overall, the implementation of chemical health and safety management was partially aligned with recognized safety management principles. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides task-level empirical evidence on chemical health and safety management in an academic chemical process laboratory and contributes to chemical health risk prevention by demonstrating how Task Risk Assessment can be applied to identify, prioritize, and control chemical exposure and process-related hazards in higher education laboratory environments.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the effect of oxidation time, dilute acid concentration, and type of acid on the indigo content produced, as well as to determine the effect of the color-covering agent (mordant) on the color quality of batik cloth using natural dyes from the indigo plant (Indigofera). Methodology: Analytical balance (Ohaus Pioneer), Pyrex beaker glass and volumetric flask, aeration system with Resun LP-40 air pump, pH indicator strips (Merck), and UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Shimadzu UV-1800) were used. Experimental laboratory method with oxidation-time and acid-variation design was applied. Data were processed using Microsoft Excel 2019 and SPSS 25. Literature review and observational approach supported analysis. Main Findings: Indigo content increased with longer oxidation time, reaching 23.78 ppm at 12 hours. The optimal acid concentration was 0.01 M HCl (26.88 ppm), while 0.1 M significantly reduced yield (15.77 ppm). Sulfuric acid 0.01 M produced the highest indigo level (29.20 ppm). Mordant variation affected color quality: tunjung produced darker bluish-green tones, lime produced lighter blue, and alum maintained the original blue shade. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study integrates ethnochemical perspectives with quantitative chemical analysis by systematically examining oxidation time, dilute acid concentration, acid type, and mordant effects within a traditional Indigofera-based batik framework. It advances knowledge by scientifically validating indigenous dyeing practices while providing measurable parameters to optimize natural indigo production and improve sustainable textile applications.

It focuses on evaluating the effect of process conditions on degradation efficiency, examining the reaction kinetics of photodegradation, and analyzing the degradation behavior of Congo Red in aqueous solution. Methodology: Photocatalytic experiments were conducted using TiO₂ catalyst suspension and Congo Red solution. UV-C lamp (36 W) was used as radiation source in a photocatalytic reactor. Absorbance was measured using a UV–Vis spectrophotometer at 499 nm. COD was determined by closed reflux titrimetric method using K₂Cr₂O₇, Ag₂SO₄, H₂SO₄, FAS, and ferroin indicator. Mixing employed a magnetic stirrer and pH meter. Main Findings: TiO₂ photocatalysis successfully degraded Congo Red dye under UV irradiation. The optimum catalyst amount was 4.5 mg TiO₂ and the optimum irradiation time was 150 minutes. Under these conditions, degradation efficiency of Congo Red (20 ppm) reached 48.90%. COD reduction reached 84.1%, indicating significant removal of organic compounds. Increasing dye concentration decreased degradation efficiency due to higher pollutant load in the system. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides a systematic evaluation of photocatalytic degradation of Congo Red using TiO₂ suspension by analyzing the effects of catalyst amount, irradiation time, and dye concentration. It integrates absorbance and COD analyses to evaluate degradation efficiency, offering a clearer understanding of photocatalytic performance for textile dye wastewater treatment.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to evaluate the implementation of chemical health and safety practices in undergraduate chemistry laboratory practicum by focusing on chemical hazard identification and exposure risk assessment associated with laboratory activities involving hazardous substances. Methodology: The research employed a descriptive observational design using a structured chemical safety checklist and a task-based risk assessment approach. The evaluation considered chemical properties such as toxicity, flammability, and corrosivity, as well as potential exposure pathways including inhalation, dermal contact, and accidental ingestion. Laboratory activities were analyzed based on the likelihood of exposure and the severity of potential health impacts to determine risk levels. Main Findings: The results indicate that, although overall safety practices were categorized as acceptable, several laboratory activities involving hazardous chemicals such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and benzene present significant chemical exposure risks. High-risk conditions were mainly associated with improper handling of corrosive and flammable substances and inconsistent use of personal protective equipment. These conditions suggest the presence of both acute exposure risks, including chemical burns and irritation, and potential chronic health risks due to repeated low-level exposure in laboratory environments. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes to chemical health risk prevention by integrating chemical hazard characteristics and exposure pathways into a task-based risk assessment framework in an academic laboratory setting. Unlike previous studies that primarily focus on general safety practices, this research emphasizes exposure-based chemical health risk evaluation, providing a more comprehensive approach to improving chemical safety management in chemistry laboratory education.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to evaluate the performance of a hybrid coagulation and adsorption system as a physicochemical separation process for removing organic pollutants and heavy metals such as iron, manganese, and chromium from chemical laboratory wastewater, as well as to determine optimum operating conditions to improve separation efficiency. Methodology: The study used a batch experimental method consisting of coagulation followed by adsorption. Coagulation was carried out using aluminum sulfate, polyaluminum chloride, and commercial coagulants under controlled conditions of acidity, dosage, and mixing to promote particle destabilization and floc formation. The adsorption process used activated carbon and zeolite with controlled contact time and adsorbent dosage. Parameters analyzed included turbidity, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, chemical oxygen demand, and metal concentrations. Main Findings: The coagulation process significantly improved solid–liquid separation, achieving reductions in turbidity (93.5%), Total Suspended Solids (69.13%), Total Dissolved Solids (46.95%), conductivity (72.33%), and heavy metals, including Fe (85.53%), Mn (55.84%), and Cr (43.07%). However, Chemical Oxygen Demand reduction during coagulation was limited (7.4%), indicating low removal of dissolved organic compounds. The subsequent adsorption stage enhanced Chemical Oxygen Demand removal up to 58.53% using activated carbon and 54.61% using zeolite. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study evaluates a hybrid coagulation and adsorption system as a multi-stage physicochemical separation process for complex laboratory wastewater. The novelty lies in integrating bulk separation and surface-based removal to improve overall performance and reveal process interactions affecting pollutant removal.
