Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to investigate the photocatalytic degradation of Congo Red dye using TiO₂ suspension. 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.
