Abstract

This study provides information about the physicochemical properties and performance of activated carbon combined with copper to remove paracetamol from waste models. The activated carbon (AC) comes from coconut shell charcoal. CuCl2 was used as the copper source which then combined with activated carbon (AC). The AC was obtained by activating the coconut shell charcoal using KOH and 500°C calcination for 10 minutes. Carbon functionalization were done using H2SO4 6M as an oxidizer and temperature of 80°C for 3 hours. The impregnation of activated carbon with CuCl2 produces CuCl2/AC, then the CuCl2/AC was reacted with NaOH 5M to form precipitation of Cu(OH)2/AC. CuO/AC composite was finally produced by calcining the Cu(OH)2/AC to 950°C for 5 minute. The composite was characterized by FTIR, SEM-EDX, XRF and X-ray diffraction. The adsorption of paracetamol with CuO/AC composite gave the best results of 95.56% efficiency.

Abstract

This research was conducted to study the performance of CaO/SiO2 prepared from local limestone and rice husk silica as catalyst for transesterification of coconut oil. A series of catalysts with CaO loads of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% relative to silica was prepared using sol-gel method, followed by calcination at 700 °C for six hours.  The catalysts were then used to evaluate the effect of CaO loads on percent of conversion of coconut oil.  Several kinetic factors associated with transesterification was also investigated.  The products of transesterification were analyzed using GC-MS technique, revealing that they are composed methyl esters of fatty acid composing coconut oil. Quite significant effect of CaO loads observed, in which the higher the load, the higher the percent of conversion.  However, it should be noted that the use of 25% CaO led to formation of soap due to leaching of some CaO from the catalyst.  Taking this leaching into account, it was then concluded that percent of conversion of 98.3%, is the best result, which was obtained with the use of catalyst with CaO load of 20%, reaction time of 60 minutes, methanol to oil ratio of 8:1, and the catalyst amount of 5% relative to mass of the oil.

Abstract

As oil consumption increases from year to year, efforts need to be made to increase energy reserves by developing new renewable energy. One way to develop energy sources is by the synthesis Fischer Tropsch (FT). FT is a synthetic gas conversion reaction (mixture of CO and H2) into a long chain hydrocarbon mixture. The FT reaction requires a catalyst called the FT catalyst. So far, many studies that examine the effectiveness of catalysts in converting synthesis gas into long chain hydrocarbons, but rarely information about the composition of the phases that exist on the surface of the catalyst. To study about it, we synthesized FT catalysts at various variations of calcination temperature. Fe(NO3)3 as a precursor and Cu(NO3)2 as promoter (20:1) used in this study. The calcination temperature used are 300, 500, and 700°C. Characterization and analysis of catalysts were formed with XRD and SEM-EDX. Calcined catalysts were activated using CO2 and H2 gas and then re-characterized with XRD and SEM-EDX. Calcination results the formation of an iron oxide phase, while activation results the formation of iron carbide and zero Fe phases.

Abstract

Development of a chemical sensor to detect chlorpyrifos has been carried out using a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-Fe3O4 as a membrane receptor. The MIP-Fe3O4 receptor is composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer, glutaraldehyde crosslinking reagent, citric acid catalyst, chlorpyrifos template, and Fe3O4. The MIP-Fe3O4 receptor is coated on the working surface of the screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) with a size of 1.5 x 3 mm2. In this study, the effect of adding concentrations of chlorpyrifos and citric acid into membrane receptor was studied. The chlorpyrifos concentrations applied were 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 and 1% (w/w) and the concentrations of citric acid were 9.2, 16.8 and 23.3% (w/w). Sensor performance is also influenced by pH and type of electrolyte. The best sensitivity of the sensor is produced in the concentration range of 10-13 - 10-6 M at 24 mV/decade with a response time of 150 seconds.

Abstract

High carbohydrate influences the cartilage microcellular environment and chondrocytes. Perlecan (HSPG2) conducts an essential role as chondrocytes mechano-transducer and chondrocytes secretion factors. This research aims to fulfill the research gap about hyperglycemia which influences to perlecan of articular cartilage. About twenty male rats were divided into four groups: group I (sugar-treated rats 1.00 mg/kg of BW), group II (sugar-treated rats 1.5 mg/kg of BW), group III (2.00 mg/kg of BW), and control. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament Transection (ACLT) used to generate an unstable joint to be osteoarthritis condition at the right knee. Then, sugar was administrated for two months.  Level expression of the protein was analyzed using Western Blotting. The result showed that perlecan expression was decreased within all sugar-treated rats group as compared to control. The IGF-1 expression was decreased, whereas TGF-β was slightly increased within all treatment groups. Moreover, the expression of FGF-2 was higher in all treatment groups. Of note, IL-1β expression was only elevated in group II and III. The interaction of perlecan to the chondrocyte secretion factors was determined by the cartilage condition within hyperglycemia.

Abstract

Bis(2-benzothiophen-1-yl)-4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b,3;4-b′]dithiophene derivatives comprised of three series; bis(2-thienyl)-4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b,3;4-b]dithiopene (BTDT), diphenyl-4Hcyclopenta[2,1-b,3;4-b]dithiophene (DPDT) and bis(2-benzothiophen-1-yl)-4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b,3;4-b]dithiophene (BBDT) have been studied using Density Functional Theory (B3LYP/6-31G**).  In each series, molecules with C=S bridge exhibited the lowest band gap; for instance in BBDT series, the energy band gap could be arranged as 2.29, 2.23 and 1.66 eV for CH2, C=O and C=S bridge respectively. The low band gaps calculated for BBDT-C=S (1.66 eV) and BTDT-C=S (1.82 eV) could facilitate photo-excited electron transfer as one the criteria for a molecule to be used in photovoltaic devices. Also, the results showed that longest UV-vis absorption wavelength was observed for molecules with C=S bridge, i.e. 1013.66, 874.75 and 1097.66 nm for BTDT, DPDT and BBDT respectively. The polarizability (α0) valves calculated for the molecules follow as -CH2 < C=O < C=S bridge in each series, indicating that the higher the polarizability (α0) valve the longer the λmax nm and the lower the energy band gap. The magnitude of the molecular hyperpolarizability β0 showed that molecular structures with -C=O bridge could be best NLO material in each series.

Abstract

There is a continuous need to discover and obtain more efficient drug-like molecule to suppress cancer in human being. Recently researchers are using molecular docking technique to improve the understanding of the interaction between drug and receptor, in other to obtain novel drugs for more efficient usage. Anticancer activities of some selected flavonoids were studied using quantum chemical method through Density Functional Theory (DFT) and molecular docking approach. These Flavoniods were docked against breast cancer cell line (3s7s) using Autodock tool, AutoDockVina as docking tools and Biovia Discovery Studio 2017 for post docking analysis. The binding affinity obtained was used to correlate the inhibitory activity of these flavoniods with their calculated molecular descriptors. The obtained binding energy showed that quercetin has the highest inhibition efficiency hence it has the highest ability to inhibit 3s7s than other studied compounds. It was observed that some molecular descriptor such as band gap, dipole moment, logP and EHOMO, were significant to the inhibiting ability of quercetin in the active site of the protein.
