Abstract

A study of the essential oil content in basil (Ocimum sanctum) and red lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus L. Rendle) originally grown in Flores island has been conducted. The purpose of this study was to identify the chemotype of the essential oils obtained over stahl distillation using GC-MS. The Ocimum mainly consisted of 55% eugenol following by minor trans-alfa-bergometena, patchulana, and linalool. Meanwhile, the chemotype of the red lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus L. rendle) were citronellol (22%), citronella, cyclohexamethanol, and viridiflorol.

Abstract

Chemical analysis, including metal ions determination using the spectrophotometry method, involves using a complexing agent, mostly produced by chemical industries, reacting with the analyte to form a colored compound. The very high cost and the environmentally unfriendly are the main disadvantages of that complexing agent. The use of a complexing agent categorized as a “green” chemical is critical to overcoming those shortcomings. In this work, extract ethanol of Terminalia catappa L. leaves was employed as a complexing agent in the determination of Fe(III) from aqueous media using the spectrophotometry method. The value of correlation coefficient (r) 0.993, obtained from the calibration curve, indicated that ethanol extract of Terminalia catappa L. leaves could be applied as a complexing agent for determining Fe(III) from aqueous media using the spectrophotometry method. By comparing this complexing agent with the commonly used complexing agent of Fe(III) viz KSCN, it was found that these two complexing agents did not differ significantly in the term of precision. Unlike precision, the accuracy obtained from these two complexing agents still differs significantly. When both complexing agents were applied in the determination of Fe(III) in manganese processing waste water, we found the concentration of Fe(III) was 0.009 ppm (ethanol extract as complexing agent) and 0.0076 ppm (KSCN as complexing agent). It is recommended to purify the extract before using it as a complexing agent for Fe(III) determination.

Abstract

The synthesis of zeolite from refractory brick waste using hydrothermal technique had been conducted. Two different reactans, NaOH and Mg(OH)2, were separately employed to react with SiO2 and Al2O3 from brick sample to produce metal silicate and metal aluminate which were then reacted to obtain zeolite. XRF results show that the synthesized products using both reactants have Si/Al ratios between 1-1.5 considered as low type of zeolites regardless some remaining impurities. XRD data reveal a typical pattern of zeolite with 2 Ɵ angles of 15.91; 19.52; 25.47; 32.20; 35.54 and 41.54. The IR vibration characteristic of Si-O and Al-O bonds appears in 454 cm-1 while the symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations of these two bonds absorb around 679.66 – 778.02 cm-1 and 2033.96-1092.42 cm-1, respectively. The O-H group from Si-OH associated with the formation of zeolite gives a characteristic feature at 3618 cm-1. SEM analysis also shows similar morphological features with natrolite zeolite. The use of NaOH as reactant gives more zeolite product compared to Mg(OH)2 reactant.

Abstract

This research had been done to purify and characterize silica from rice husk ash for two varieties of rice from Kupang Regency. The purification method used is the extraction method with alkaline solution (NaOH) and precipitation with acid solution (H2SO4). The stages in this research were preparation of rice husk ash, purification of silica rice husk ash with NaOH and H2SO4 solutions, and characterization covered: determination of acidity and surface area and determination of composition using X-ray fluorescence spectrophotometer (XRF). The results of the surface acidity test showed that the highest acidity was in Ciherang silica from Tarus, which was 2.288 mmol/g. While the surface area test showed that the largest surface area was Inpari 46 silica from Pariti, which was 184.297 m2/g with an optimum contact time of 50 minutes. The results of characterization using XRF exhibited that the highest silica purity was Ciherang rice variety from Tarus, with initial silica content data, purification with NaOH and H2SO4 were 93.9%; 98.2% and 99.1%. So that the purification process with NaOH and H2SO4 is proven to increase the silica content in the sample.

Abstract

The importance of the role of water in life makes water conditions must be maintained both quantity and quality given the growing human life that also has an impact on the environment. The purpose of this study was to find out the condition and status of water contamination in springs used as drinking water in Nulle village, West Amanuban subdistrict, South Central Timor district. The method of collecting data is obtained from the field. The technique used to determine the location of sampling is the purposive sampling technique. The data collection stage is carried out by conducting initial surveys, determining sampling points, water sampling, examination of water samples in that way (directly) on temperature and pH parameters and in ex (laboratory) on the parameters of TDS, TSS, hardness, detergent, DO, COD and total coliform. The results of the study on both springs showed the value of each of the parameters tested was still within safe limits based on the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No. 32 of 2017 on Environmental Health Quality Standards and Water Health Requirements for Hygiene, Sanitation, Swimming Pool, Solus Per Aqua and Public Baths except the total coliform parameters in both springs that exceeded the quality standard by 50 amount / 100 mL according to. The average total coliform rate at station 1 is 50.33 total/100 mL and the average at station 2 is 107.67 total/100 mL. The status of water contamination at both stations based on the STORET method is moderate contamination.

Abstract

Used lubricants contain contaminants from oxidation and thermal degradation, resulting in a decrease in the quality and performance of the lubricant. Therefore, the adsorption process is carried out using kesambi stem charcoal and natural zeolite Ende activated H3PO4 to remove contaminants and improve the quality of used lubricants. Determination of the density and kinematic viscosity of used lubricants mass variations of 0.5, 0.66, 1 and 2 grams for each adsorbent. The results obtained show that the value of the used lubricant density from the adsorption results is relatively the same, namely 0.83 g/cm3, while the kinematic viscosity is different for each variation of the mass and type of adsorbent. Kesambi stem active charcoal has an optimum mass of 0.66 grams with a kinematic viscosity value of 128.84 cSt, active natural zeolite at a mass of 0.5 grams of 113.59 cSt and continued use of active natural zeolite-active natural charcoal, namely at a mass of 2 grams of 106, 38 cSt. These results indicate that the variation in the mass of the adsorbent has no effect on the change in density value but shows a significant change in the increase in the value of the kinematic viscosity of the used lubricant from the adsorption. The best percentage of kinematic viscosity increase efficiency is using activated charocoal, which is 71.83%.
