Abstract

A research on preparing activated charcoal from Terminalia catappa L. seed shell has been done. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of activated charcoal from Terminalia catappa L.seed shells and test its ability to reduce COD and TSS from a liquid waste of the tofu industry. The parameters studied in characterizing activated charcoal included moisture content, ash content, absorption of I2 and surface area using methylene blue. Analysis of the COD parameter used the redox titration method, while the TSS parameter used the gravimetric method. he optimum time for applying activated charcoal to liquid tofu waste was by measuring COD and TSS levels after interaction with activated charcoal. Results of activated charcoal characterization showed a moisture content of 5%, ash content of 2.10%, an absorption capacity of I2 761.4 mg/g and a surface area of ​​26.74 m²/g. The highest decrease in COD levels occurred at 90 minutes of contact time from initial levels of 2,976 mg/L to 2,304 mg/L, with a reduction efficiency of 22.6%, and the highest decrease in TSS levels occurred at 90 minutes of contact time from initial levels of 1,440 mg/L to 334 mg/L, with a reduction efficiency of 76.8%. Generally, activated charcoal from Terminalia catappa L. seed shells showed an ability to reduce the COD and TSS from the liquid waste of the tofu industry.

Abstract

A study has been carried out to determine the levels of tannins and the effectiveness of Gamal leaf extract (Gliricidia sepium) as a corrosion inhibitor for copper (Cu). The objectives of this research were to determine the tannin content in gamal leaf extract, observe the corrosion rate of copper with varying concentrations of the extract, identify the optimal soaking time, and evaluate the inhibitory properties of gamal leaf extract on copper corrosion. Gamal leaf extract was obtained through maceration and confirmed to contain tannins using phytochemical tests. The corrosion rate and inhibition efficiency were measured using the weight loss method. The results indicated that the gamal leaf extract contained 40.42% tannins. A concentration of 10% of gamal leaf extract reduced the corrosion rate of copper in a NaCl solution, demonstrating the highest inhibition efficiency at 80.16%. It was observed that increasing the concentration of the inhibitor and prolonging the immersion time led to lower corrosion rates. In the case of a NaCl solution as the corrosion medium, the highest concentration of gamal leaf extract used was 10%, and the longest immersion time was 9 days, resulting in a corrosion rate of 0.0593 cm/year.

Abstract

Research has been conducted with the title Utilization of Silica Gel from the processing of TiO2-Modified Corn Cob Ash to Reduce Nitrate Levels in Tofu Liquid Waste. This study aims to determine the characteristics of silica gel from the processing of TiO2-modified corn cob ash in terms of functional groups and crystallinity and to determine the effectiveness of TiO2-modified silica gel to reduce nitrate levels in tofu liquid waste using pH, time and concentration parameters. The synthesis of silica gel from corn cob ash was carried out using the sol gel method. The results of FTIR characterization showed the successful synthesis of silica gel and TiO2 modified silica gel indicated by the presence of Si-O-Si and Si-OH absorption in silica gel and Ti-O-Ti absorption in TiO2 modified silica gel. The XRD data shows that silica gel has an amorphous structure and modified silica gel has an anatase structure. The results showed that the largest nitrate reduction occurred at pH 5 by 98.69%, contact time of 60 minutes by 97.39% and optimum concentration of 200 ppm by 98.94% with the largest silica adsorption capacity of 245.94 mg/g and the percentage of nitrate reduction in tofu liquid waste by 99.94%.

Abstract

A study of kojic acid production in the endophytic fungi Aspergillus flavus was conducted to identify the effect of kojic acid on efforts to prevent decay and manage the quality of shelf life of tomato fruit (Lycopersicum esculentum L.). The kojic acid obtained showed good results in preventing tomato fruit spoilage. The organoleptic test results on the texture and aroma of tomato rot stated the highest favorability in the test treatment with kojic acid, namely in the treatment of tomato fruit stored by spraying 1% kojic acid. The ability of kojic acid to extend the shelf life of tomato fruit is seen from its antibacterial activity and is able to suppress the rate of respiration and transpiration in tomato fruit.

Arang terlebih dahulu dikarakterisasi untuk mengetahui kadar air, kadar abu dan luas permukaan bioadsorben menggunakan metilen biru secara spektrofotometri. Penelitian kemudian dilanjutkan dengan penentuan kondisi optimum adsorpsi yang meliputi massa bioadsorben dan waktu kontak. Kondisi optimum yang diperoleh kemudian diaplikasikan untuk adsorpsi warna dari limbah cair tenun ikat dan penentuan beberapa parameter limbah cair tenun ikat yang meliputi TSS, COD, dan pH. Hasil karakterisasi arang menunjukkan kadar air sebesar 4,92%, kadar abu 8,63% dan luas permukaan 62,895 m2/gram. Waktu kontak optimum pada proses penyerapan pada menit ke 60 sebesar 0,0659 mg/g dan massa bioadsorben optimum 2 gram menunjukkan dalam 20 mL limbah cair. Hasil pengaplikasian kondisi optimum menunjukkan efisiensi penurunan kadar arang dalam limbah cair tenun ikat sebesar 42,4 mg/g dan penurunan kadar TSS sebesar 69%, COD 39% dan nilai pH mengalami perubahan dari 11,13 menjadi 8,30. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa arang bunga lontar sebagai bioadsorben mampu menurunkan intensitas warna pada limbah cair tenun ikat berdasarkan ketiga parameter tersebut.
