Abstract

It had been conducted a study on adsorption of Cd (II) and Pb (II) of humic acid isolated from peat soil from village of Sambutan, the subdistrict of Samarinda Ilir, East Kalimantan. Aspects studied covered adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm of Cd (II) and Pb (II) of humic acid in water medium.Adsorption process carried out by batch method. Kinetics study conducted by intracting metal adsorption of Cd (II) and Pb (II) with humic acid at various times, meanwhile studying the adsorption isotherm is done by interacting Cd (II) and Pb (II) at various concentrations with humic acid.The results showed the adsorption rate of Cd (II) and Pb (II) on humic acid followed first order with rate constants of Cd (II) and Pb (II) of 0.0012 and 0.0038 mg menit-1/10 humic acid. Carboxylic groups of humic acid as the main groups which were actively involved in the interaction of metal-humic acid and have experienced deprotonation is  hard nucleophile. It made Pb (II) was more quickly and easily adsorbed than Cd (II). Adsorption isotherm of Cd (II) and Pb (II) on humic acid followed the pattern of Langmuir isotherm with adsorption capacities of Pb (II) of 1.66 x10-3 mol / g and for Cd (II) 3.83 x10-3 mol / g . The adsorption energy of both metals is relatively small that is equal to 16.1 for Cd(II) and 21.4 kJ / mol for Pb(II).

Abstract

Probiotic is a product containing non-pathogenic microbes live, which was given to animals or humans to fix the rate of growth, efficiency, and increase conversion ration of animal or human health by affecting positively the balance of the gut microbes and microbial pathogen control in the digestive tract. In order to potentially lactic acid bacteria as probiotic candidates must pass the test selection among others such as probiotic test resistance to acid pH, the bile salts, against pathogenic bacteria. This experimental research methods for descriptive use that aim to provide information about the probiotic potential  of Lactobacillus plantarum was isolated from the small intestine Mojosari duck (Anasplathyrinchos) with the tests in vitro i.e. the resistance of Lactobacillus plantarum on the condition of the acidicpH (2, 3, and 4), bile salt concentration of 0.3% (b/v), inhibition of pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhi) The results showed that on pH 2 the number of cells of bacteria that lives was 4.3. 107 CFU/ml, pH 3 was  3.8. 109 CFU/ml and pH 4 was 2.7. 1010 CFU/ml, the resistance of Lactobacillus plantarum on bile salt showed the number of cells of bacteria that lives was 1.2. 109 CFU/ml.inhibition of the pathogenic bacteria showed thatLactobacillus plantarumcould inhibited strong on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with diameter of zone was 12.7 mm and 13.3 mm but notSalmonellatyphi with diameter of zone was 9.3 mm.

Abstract

Utilization of molasses as basic material for producing bioethanol becomes one of the promising efforts to fulfill the demand of fuel and diminish the dependence upon fossil fuel that its availability is increasingly rare. However, ethanol produced from fermentation of molasses has low purity. The purity could be increased by using dehydration method and zeolite activated by NaOH and alum as alumina source. The research is aimed to know the dehydration process of bioethanol use NaOH-activated zeolite at various concentration and zeolite weight on the purification of bioethanol. In this research, the experiments could be categorized into 4 groups, they are activation of zeolite, fermentation, distillation, and dehydration process. Activation of natural zeolite performed by entering of sized 120-150 mesh zeolite powder was added to glass beaker that contains  NaOH aqueous solution and followed by adding alum which took place at 80 ˚C for 8 hours and the final product calcinated at 600 ˚ C for 2 hour. Fermentation process was managed for 6 days and pH 5. Furthermore, bioethanol was separated by distillation method at 78,5 - 85 ˚C and followed by molecular sieve dehydration using zeolite activated by NaOH solution in variation of zeolite weight (30, 40 and 50 %) and NaOH concentration (1, 2, 3 dan 4 M). The amount of bioethanol was measured by gas chromatography method. Bioethanol concentration as fermentation product is 29,8 %. The result revealed that dehydration with 30% w.t zeolite activated by 2 M NaOH solution had the best activity in bioethanol purification with amount of bioethanol is 53,76 %, Increased Levels of Bioethanol (ILB) value is 80,39 % and Adsorption Capacity of Zeolite (ACZ) is 399,31 %.Keywords: bioethanol, concentration of NaOH, dehydration, molasses, molecular sieve, weight of zeolite

Abstract

Ampas tahu merupakan residu proses pembuatan tahu. Ampas tahu yang dihasilkan dalam proses pembuatan tahu cukup melimpah. Pemanfaatan ampas tahu selama ini dapat digunakan sebagai pakan ternak dan tempe gembos. Alternatif lain untuk memanfaatkan ampas tahu  adalah dengan  menjadikannya sebagai bahan dasar  dalam pembuatan karbon aktif karena kandungan serat ampas tahu berkisar 50 %. Proses pembuatan karbon aktif dalam penelitian ini melalui 4 tahapan yaitu proses pengeringan ampas tahu selama 7 hari di bawah terik  matahari, proses aktivasi kimia menggunakan aktivator larutan NaCl dengan variasi konsentrasi 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, dan 25 %, proses karbonisasi ampas tahu teraktivasi NaCl pada suhu 500  dan pencucian karbon aktif dari ampas tahu dengan menggunakan HCl 1 M. Untuk mengetahui pengaruh konsentrasi aktivator terhadap luas permukaan karbon aktif dari ampas tahu menggunakan metode adsorpsi methylene blue dan dilanjutkan uji ANOVA one way dan uji LSD (Least Significance Different) dengan taraf uji 1 %. Hasil karbon aktif yang mempunyai luas permukaan terbaik pada adsorpsi methylene blue dan berbeda nyata dari hasil uji LSD dilakukan analisis morfologi dan analisis komposisi unsur-unsur yang terkandung pada permukaan dengan menggunakan SEM-EDX (Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan variasi konsentrasi NaCl sebagai aktivator berpengaruh terhadap luas permukaan karbon aktif. Luas permukaan terbaik dihasilkan saat diaktivasi dengan aktivator larutan NaCl 10 % adalah  18,9358 . Analisis SEM menunjukkan bahwa karbon aktif teraktivasi NaCl 10 % pori-pori  yang terbentuk lebih banyak dan membentuk rongga-rongga pori-pori dengan kedalaman yang lebih besar bila dibandingkan dengan karbon aktif teraktivasi NaCl 0 %.  Hasil analisis EDX  menunjukkan bahwa komposisi unsur yang berada pada permukaan karbon aktif teraktivasi NaCl 10 % meliputi unsur C 88,90 %, unsur O 10,08 %, unsur Al 0,36 %, unsur Mg 0,16 % dan unsur Ca 0,50 % sedangkan komposisi unsur yang berada pada permukaan karbon aktif teraktivasi NaCl 0 % meliputi unsur C  87,38 %, unsur O 10,31 %, unsur Mg 0,77 % dan unsur Ca 1,54 %.
