Abstract

The Schiff base has synthesized from the reaction between 4,4-diaminodiphenyl ether and vanillin. The resulting Schiff base acts as a ligand and interacts with Cu2+ metal ions to form a complex compound. The Schiff base was analyzed using UV-visible and FT-IR spectroscopy, as well as X-ray diffraction (XRD). The stability of the Schiff base under different pH conditions was investigated, along with the interference effects of Cd2+ and Zn2+ ions on the formation of Schiff base complexes with Cu2+. The formation of a yellow solid crystal indicated the successful synthesis of the Schiff base. The appearance of maximum absorption at 250 nm on the UV-Vis spectra signifies the electronic transition from π to π*. Absorption spectra at 1600 cm-1 indicate the presence of an azomethine group. The diffraction pattern showed a sharp peak at an angle of 2θ= 19.301°, 51.04° for the Schiff base 4,4-diamino diphenyl ether-vanillin. Schiff base compounds exhibit the highest stability at pH 5, where the C=N double bond formed is more stable than other pH. Schiff base ligands form complexes with Cu2+ metal ions, characterized by absorption in the charge transfer region (LMCT) at λ 400 nm and the d-d transition at λ 630 nm. The presence of Cd²⁺ and Zn²⁺ metal ions shifting absorption of the Schiff Base-Cu²⁺ ligand complex towards shorter wavelengths (hypsochromic effect)

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize ZnO using the coprecipitation method and characterize it using various instrumentation techniques. The calcination temperature variation treatment was carried out to produce particles with good size and crystallinity levels. Adding polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) surfactant during the synthesis of ZnO aims to prevent agglomeration. ZnO characterization used ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The result showed that the value of the ZnO band gap increased with increasing temperature. ZnO synthesized at a calcination temperature of 800 °C has a hexagonal wurtzite structure. The crystal size of ZnO is 45.64 nm, while ZnO-PVP's is 40.37 nm. The best ZnO crystallinity level is 61.34%. The FTIR spectrum shows ZnO absorption in the fingerprint region (525 cm-1). SEM micrographs showed that ZnO without the addition of PVP agglomerated. The synthesized ZnO has an antibacterial activity, indicated by forming an inhibition zone (7.84 mm

Abstract

Fly ash, a fine dust from coal combustion in steam power plants, is an unused waste material that can be repurposed as a low-cost adsorbent. One type of adsorbent that can be synthesized from fly ash is zeolite-like material (ZLM), which has a porous structure capable of absorbing molecules smaller than or equal to its cavity size. In this study, untreated and heat-activated fly ash at 100, 200, and 300°C was used as an adsorbent for acid mine water. Adsorbent mass varied between 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 g, mixed with 130 mL of mine water and stirred at 150 rpm for 60 minutes. The results showed that heat activation increased the surface area of the fly ash adsorbent, reaching 22.658 m²/g at 300°C. Heat-treated fly ash at 200 and 300°C showed a more significant reduction in Fe and Mn levels, especially with 8 g of adsorbent. Additionally, all adsorbents, whether heated or not, raised the pH of the acid mine water. The total suspended solids (TSS) were reduced to meet quality standards using 14 g of adsorbent heated to 300°C. These results indicate that coal fly ash adsorbent can be effectively applied for treating acid mine water

Abstract

The production of palm oil shell waste in the palm oil industry is increasing,  but the utilization of palm oil shell waste has not been utilized optimally. Palm Oil Shells must be processed and utilized to reduce pollution and increase the use value of waste. This research aims to utilize palm oil shell waste using an Al/Cr metal pillared bentonite catalyst with a gasification process to produce synthesis gas. The bentonite pillarization process using Al/Cr metal aims to increase the catalyst surface area, basal distance and catalyst surface acidity so as to increase the catalytic activity of the catalyst in the gasification process. The gasification process is carried out at temperatures of 450, 500, 550 and 600°C. Adding the Al/Cr metal pillared bentonite catalyst, the H2 concentration increased significantly. The effect of increasing temperature can increase the H2 content by consuming CO within a certain time limit. The gasification process at temperature 600°C with a 20% Al/Cr metal pillared bentonite catalyst is the optimal condition for producing synthesis gas. The heating value of the gasification results in terms of the optimum HHV and LHV values is 16.21 MJ/Nm3 and 14.59 MJ/Nm3. Based on research, gasification of palm oil shells using an Al/Cr metal pillared bentonite catalyst is feasible for the production of environmentally friendly fuel

Abstract

Calcium oxide (CaO) is widely used as an adsorbent due to high adsorption effectiveness and can adsorb metals in wastewater and dye waste. The aim of this research is to synthesize CaO from quail egg shells and then modify it using sodium dodecyl sulfate surfactant. Synthesis of CaO was carried out through the extraction method using HCl 1% and precipitation method using Na2CO3 1M. Modified CaO was synthesized by the same method with the addition of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS).  Diffractogram peaks on CaO and  CaO modifications are similar to JCPDS data No.88-1811. CaO IR spectrum modification after adsorption showed the addition of functional groups C-N and C=N from methylene blue. CaO and CaO's modifications had pHpzc of 11.82 and 11.62. CaO modification using SDS caused a decrease in the surface area of CaO from 3.9 to 2.5 m2/g and an increase in the pore radius from 3.6 to 13.5 nm. Modification of CaO using SDS decrease the surface area of CaO but adsorption capacity increases 66.19% from 44.63 mg/g to 74.17 mg/g. Kinetic model and adsorption isotherm on CaO and CaO modifications occur in pseudo-second order by following the Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption process is endothermic and adsorption occurs spontaneously with positive ∆Ho and negative ∆Go values at each adsorption temperature

Abstract

Indonesia is rich in natural resources, including coal and palm kernel shells (PKS), which can be used in the gasification process. This study compares the gasification potential of palm kernel shells and fine coal, focusing on their thermal properties and activation energy. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) shows that PKS have higher volatile matter (67.25%) and lower fixed carbon (20.90%) than fine coal (33.53% volatile matter, 32.98% fixed carbon). at 450 °C, PKS lose 11% of their mass in one hour and reach a 78% loss by the end of the process, while fine coal loses 70% after more than 200 minutes. The activation energy for PKS is lower (38.925 J/mol) than fine coal (41.012 J/mol). In gasification, palm kernel shells produce more hydrogen (26% mol) and less carbon dioxide (11% mol) than fine coal, which produces more methane (28% mol) and carbon dioxide (22% mol). These results suggest that PKS are a more efficient and eco-friendly option for gasification.Keywords: Fine coal, palm kernel shells, activation energy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), gasification
