Abstract

Borax is one of the compounds of boron (B), which is widely used as an anti-fungal, wood preservative, and antiseptic in cosmetics. Boron can form complexes with biomolecules such as pyridoxine, so it is interesting to know the interaction between borax and pyridoxine. This study seeks to investigate the complexation of boron, which is obtained from borax, with pyridoxine under various conditions of time, temperature, and the amount of pyridoxine. The resulting complex was characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). The study was initiated by optimizing the complexation of boron and pyridoxine. The maximum wavelengths of pyridoxine were found in the 205 nm and 292 nm regions, while the boron-pyridoxine complex was found in the 237 nm region. The obtained contact time, temperature, and amount of pyridoxine are 40 minutes, 60 °C, and 2 mL respectively. The results of the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis of the boron-pyridoxine complex showed that there were OH groups, aromatic C=C groups, aliphatic C-C groups, B-H groups, and B-O groups. The results of the XRD analysis of the boron-pyridoxine complex obtained a diffraction angle of 30.93°.

Abstract

A cellulose derivative substance called cellulose acetate is frequently used in the manufacturing of photographic film, fiber, membranes, and bioplastics. However, the availability of sources for cellulose acetate's raw material does not support this demand. Paper waste has a high cellulose content. Therefore, the aim of this research is to synthesize cellulose acetate from α-cellulose waste paper. In order to separate alpha cellulose from waste paper in this study, the delignification process with NaOH solvent was used as a first step. After obtaining alpha cellulose, acetic anhydride was used to carry out the acetylation reaction. The yield of α-cellulose from paper waste is 51.8%. α-Cellulose is reacted with acetic anhydride through acetylation reactions and hydrolysis of acetyl groups. From this reaction, functional groups -OH, C=O ester, and C-O acetyl appeared from the FTIR spectra analysis which indicated that cellulose acetate had been successfully synthesized. The type of cellulose acetate produced is a type of cellulose monoacetate with an acetyl groups of 23% and a degree of substitution value of 1.17.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the effect of bentonite-Titanium dioxide (Benonite-TiO2) composite on the degradation process of methylene blue. It was carried out by synthesizing the composite through the impregnation of Titanium dioxide (TiO2) on bentonite and then characterizing the obtained compound using XRD and SEM-EDX. The results of the XRD characterization showed that there was a shift in the diffraction angle (2θ), which indicated the success of the impregnation procedure. The morphology of the composite showed that the bentonite surface had been filled with TiO2, as evidenced by the results of the EDX analysis, which showed a 7.03% increase in Titanium. Furthermore, the degradation process was carried out using various variables, including contact time, the ratio of composite weight to dye, and by irradiation with a UV lamp at a wavelength of 352 nm UV. It was discovered that the best degradation in the concentration of methylene blue occurred at a maximum contact time of 90 minutes and at a maximum weight of 10 mg of benonite-TiO2, with an effectiveness of 99.91% after irradiation and 92.26% without irradiation.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness and increase in absorption of the chitosan-ZnO composite in the process of removing methylene blue when using the photodegradation method with the help of a UV lamp. Chitosan was synthesized from shrimp shell waste composite with metal oxide ZnO. The results of the characterization using XRD obtained the diffraction peak for chitosan at an angle of 2θ, namely 19.85°; 29.43°; 34.76° and chitosan-ZnO composite at an angle of 20.18°; 28.93°; 33.57° The SEM-EDX characterization shows that chitosan-ZnO has small, light-colored grains and more gaps and contains elements of chitosan and Zn. In the FTIR characterization, there was a decrease in intensity at a peak of around 3360 cm-1 which was caused by the chitosan-ZnO composite producing OH groups which reacted with methylene blue dye. In testing the effect of contact time using a UV lamp, there was an increase in the percentage of degraded methylene blue compared to without using a UV lamp. The maximum contact time is obtained at 60 minutes. While testing the effect of methylene blue dye concentration, the maximum absorption concentration was 45 ppm at 60 minutes of contact time. The adsorption capacity of the composite against methylene blue dye without UV light was 18.91 mg/g while using a UV lamp it increased to 20.145 mg/g. Based on this research, the chitosan/ZnO composite can be used quite well as a methylene blue dye remover.Keywords: Chitosan, Chitosan-ZnO, Photodegradation, Adsorption, Methylene blue.
