Abstract

Farming activities, especially catfish Farming, as carried out by the community in Kampung Lele, Boyolali, Indonesia cannot be separated from producing waste. Water pollution caused by catfish farming waste can be identified through increased ammonia levels. This research aims to determine whether the density of duckweed (Lemna minor) can influence changes in ammonia levels in liquid waste from catfish Farming and to determine the ammonia levels in liquid waste from catfish Farming after treatment with duckweed. The research is phytoremediation research using duckweed. The research used a completely randomized design in data collection carried out with 6 variations (0 plants, 150 plants, 300 plants, 450 plants, 600 plants, 750 plants) for 15 days starting from the first day and continuing every 2 days. The repetition carried out in the research was 4 repetitions which were based on the Federer formula. The data obtained were analyzed using two way ANOVA analysis and further tested with Duncan's post hoc test using the SPSS application. The results obtained in the form of ammonia levels after treatment decreased, namely 0.6 ppm on A150, 0.5 ppm on A300, 0.5 ppm on A450, 0.45 ppm on A600, and 0.4 ppm on A750. The density of duckweed can influence changes in ammonia levels in liquid waste from catfish Farming, through two way ANOVA analysis which obtained a sig value. equal to 0.00 or < 0.05, then there is a difference in the average ammonia based on density and time, so that in Duncan's post hoc follow-up test we found variations in A750 on the 11th day with 0.475 ppm ammonia and A600 on the 15th day with ammonia 0.45 ppm meets quality standards.

Abstract

The primary concern associated with the Batik industry lies in the presence of pollutant dyes that contribute to environmental contamination. Addressing this issue involves exploring various wastewater treatment methods, with membrane technology being a viable approach. In this study, a photocatalytic material, NiFe@SiO2, synthesized through the sol-gel technique, was incorporated into a PVDF membrane. Characterization results from SEM surface, indicated that the PVDF/NiFe@SiO2 membrane displayed superior characteristics compared to other membranes. The addition of the NiFe@SiO2 photocatalyst increased membrane porosity, hydrophilicity, water absorption capacity, and affinity towards water molecules. The PVDF/NiFe@SiO2 membrane exhibited enhanced performance in terms of permeate flux, pollutant rejection, stability, recyclability, and durability. Notably, the fabricated photocatalytic membrane demonstrated superior antifouling performance and flux recovery capability when operating under UV radiation. The study also delved into the influence of wastewater pretreatment on antifouling membrane performance. The modified membrane successfully reduced fouling levels on the membrane by enhancing FRR from ~70% to ~90%. This insight into how pretreatment affects the antifouling properties of wastewater opens avenues for innovative solutions and enhanced design strategies to improve the efficiency and sustainability of wastewater treatment processes. Future research endeavors could focus on maximizing the potential of the bentonite adsorbent in wastewater pretreatment and exploring the full capabilities of the NiFe@SiO2 photocatalyst in enhancing the photocatalytic and antifouling performance of the membrane.

Abstract

This study examines community participation in integrated solid waste management (ISWM) at Jahangirnagar University in Bangladesh. The university faces significant challenges in waste management, with negative social, environmental and economic consequences. The goal is to identify barriers to community involvement in ISWM and provide recommendations for enhancing engagement. The research uses a mixed-methods approach, surveying 397 respondents using cluster random sampling from the university's population of 20,000. Data collection methods include interviews, observations, focus groups, and document analysis. The findings highlight obstacles to community participation, such as limited community empowerment, mobilization, organization, and resource coordination. Household waste segregation is practiced by only 30% of respondents. However, 74% of participants express willingness to oversee door-to-door waste collection and dispose of waste at designated points, influenced by socioeconomic factors. Non-compliance with ISWM regulations is observed in 26% of respondents, and 12% lack sufficient knowledge about ISWM, indicating a need for improved organization and coordination. Additionally, some university authorities rely on outdated methods, resulting in weak enforcement of environmental regulations. Ineffective policies exacerbate the situation, failing to align with the market economy. The study recommends fostering cooperation between university authorities and the community, revising and enforcing regulations, and emphasizing waste generators' responsibility for proper disposal. Addressing these challenges can significantly improve solid waste management and environmental outcomes at Jahangirnagar University.

Abstract

The Covid 19 pandemic that hit Indonesia caused the problem of increasing medical mask waste. Medical masks are included in B3 waste because they are infectious. Therefore, special treatment is needed to mask waste, so it doesn't transmit disease. This study was conducted to determine the awareness of medical mask waste management in young people, especially those who live in the provinces of Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The research was conducted by distributing questionnaires to respondents aged 17-24 years. This research used descriptive analysis with a quantitative approach. Based on the results of the study, it is known that most of them already know the meaning of B3 waste, where 65% of respondents can answer questions correctly about the type of waste and about 95% of respondents considered medical mask waste to be harmful to the surrounding environment. Based on the results of data analysis, it is known that the respondents have shown awareness of the dangers of mask waste, but from the results of the questionnaire, it is also known that the respondents do not have the awareness to process waste. From the 151 respondents, there were only 4 people who did the processing. So that it can be seen that the level of awareness of medical waste management in young people, especially those who live in the Province of Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta is still very low. The results of the questionnaire also show that there are still few TPS specifically for hazardous waste around the settlements.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of water content on free fatty acid levels in nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum L.) seed oil. Nyamplung fruit seeds have a relatively high oil content ranging from 40%-73%, which can be used as a biodiesel raw material. Nyamplung seed oil has a high FFA content that ranges from 15%-30%. The process of extracting nyamplung seed oil is done by the soxhletation method because it is considered the most efficient and uses nhexane solvent, which has non-polar properties and can increase oil yield (more than 50%). This study will use the factorial design level 2 method to determine the most influential process variables to produce optimum operating conditions in making nyamplung seed oil with the lowest FFA content. The variables used in this study are moisture content (8% and 12%), particle size (15 mesh and 25 mesh), and the ratio of materials and solvents (1:1 and 1:3). The analysis results showed that water content had the most significant influence on free fatty acid content with a value of 0.25 and the lowest free fat content of 13.30%.
