Indonesian Journal of Fundamental and Applied Chemistry (IJFAC) is an international research journal and invites contributions of original research articles as well as review articles in several areas of chemistry. The journal aims to publish refereed, high-quality research papers with significant novelty and short communications in all branches of chemistry. Papers which describe novel theory and its application to practice are welcome, as are those which illustrate the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. IJFAC calls for papers that cover the following fields: Biochemistry Inorganic chemistry Physical chemistry Organic chemistry Analytical chemistry Applied Chemistry All papers are peer reviewed by at least two referees. Papers presented at conferences are peer reviewed and selected with the same standards as individually submitted papers. They therefore have the same archival value.

Abstract

The increasing contamination with microorganisms has driven the development of effective, environmentally friendly antibacterial materials. Biochar was used as a porous matrix to support the dispersion of MnFe₂O₄ particles and to enhance the material's surface area. This study aims to synthesize a rice husk–based biochar/MnFe₂O₄ composite and evaluate its structural and morphological characteristics, as well as antibacterial activity. The composite was synthesized by coprecipitation and characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy–Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM–EDX), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Antibacterial activity was evaluated using the disk diffusion method against Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) at concentration variations of 1000–5000 mg/L. XRD results confirmed the formation of a spinel MnFe₂O₄ phase, as indicated high-intensity diffraction peaks   at 31.56° and 35.22° and the average crystallite size calculated using the Scherrer equation was approximately 27.1 nm, indicating the formation of nanocrystalline domains. SEM analysis revealed that MnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on the biochar surface, while EDX confirmed the presence of C, O, Mn, and Fe elements. FTIR analysis identified –OH, C=O, and C–O functional groups, along with characteristic Mn–O and Fe–O vibrations, confirming successful composite formation. Antibacterial activity increased with concentration, reaching a maximum inhibition zone of 7.2 mm against both E. coli and S. aureus at 5000 mg/L, indicating mild antibacterial performance. The composite exhibits eco-friendly characteristics due to its biomass-derived biochar matrix and offers magnetic separability, facilitating easy recovery and potential reuse for sustainable environmental applications.Keywords: Rice husk biochar, MnFe₂O₄, antibacterial activity

Abstract

This study investigated an integrated treatment system combining coagulation, adsorption, filtration, and ceramic membrane processes for songket dyeing wastewater. Textile wastewater is characterized by high color intensity, suspended solids, and organic loads, which can cause serious environmental impacts if discharged without adequate treatment. Coagulation using aluminum sulfate effectively destabilizes colloidal particles, followed by adsorption with activated carbon to remove dissolved dyes and organic compounds. Multimedia filtration and ceramic membrane filtration further enhance pollutant removal through physical separation mechanisms. The integrated system successfully achieved color reduction from 976.5 Pt-Co to 10.6 Pt-Co, TSS reduction exceeding 98%, and COD reduction above 93%, in accordance with Indonesian wastewater discharge standards for the textile industry (KLHK, 2016).Keywords: Songket Wastewater, Coagulation, Adsorption, Filtration, Ceramic Membrane

Abstract

Cancer is the leading cause of death. Data from the Global Cancer Observatory shows that in 2022, Breast cancer in women ranks second and is the leading cause of death. Because of the limited cancer treatments available, medicinal plants are an alternative because they have anticancer properties. The indigenous Indonesian medicinal plant Typhonium flagelliforme has been widely used in various studies for its potential as an anticancer. Currently, medicinal plants are generally used in capsules, which are more sensitive to moisture and temperature that can affect drug stability compared to tablets. The aim of this research was to produce tablets containing active extract from Typhonium flagelliforme that meet physical quality requirements as anti-breast cancer tablets with cytotoxic activity against MCF-7. The research method is in vitro test of cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cells. The results of the research   show that ethanol extract from Typhonium flagelliforme tubers can be formulated into tablets that have potential as a breast cancer treatment. Ethanol extract is the most active extract with an IC50 value of 16.04 µg/mL in MCF-7 cells. The physical parameters extract granules from Formulas 1 to 3 meet the requirements. The physical parameters of tablets in Formulas 1 to 3 meet the requirements, but the disintegration time of Formula 3 tablets does not meet the requirements.Keywords: Breast cancer, MCF-7, Tablet, Typhonium flagelliforme, Physical parameters of the tablet

Abstract

Congo Red and Methylene Blue dye waste from the textile industry needs to be treated before being discharged into water bodies. Adsorption is widely recognized as an effective method of contaminant removal. The use of CaO as an adsorbent has the advantages of high kinetic speed, efficient, low cost, easily accessible, and abundant. To improve the performance of CaO, it is done by compositing CaO with Fe3O4 and SiO2. This study aims to synthesize a CaO/Fe3O4/SiO2 and apply it for the adsorption of Congo red and Methylene blue dyes. The synthesis of CaO/Fe3O4 uses the coprecipitation method and CaO/Fe3O4/SiO2 is synthesized using the Stober method by adding TEOS to CaO/Fe3O4. The results of XRD characterization show that the synthesized CaO, CaO/Fe3O4, and CaO/Fe3O4/SiO2 have the same 2θ angle as the reference diffractogram data. The addition of SiO2 was shown to prevent agglomeration, which was indicated by a decrease in the particle size of CaO/Fe3O4 from 70.07 to 52.42 nm in CaO/Fe3O4/SiO2. % Adsorption efficiency for Congo Red was 86.49% Methylene Blue was 99.12%. The adsorption process of both dyes was spontaneous, following a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Congo Red adsorption followed the Freundlich isotherm model, while Methylene Blue followed the Langmuir isotherm model.Keywords: CaO/Fe3O4/SiO2, adsorption, Congo red, Methylene blue

Abstract

Geomembranes are thin geosynthetic materials composed of polymeric layers that function as barriers in direct contact with soil. The properties of HDPE geomembranes suitable for application as vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) aquaculture. HDPE geomembranes applied in vannamei shrimp aquaculture are subjected to thermal loads (UV radiation), oxidative agents, and mechanical force such as interfacial friction and tensile loading in surface wear.  This study aims to improve the mechanical properties of the material by incorporating natural fibers as reinforcement into HDPE–ramie fiber biocomposite. The process of making HDPE–ramie fiber biocomposite uses an single screw extruder with a temperature of 170 oC, a rotation of 20 rpm with a ratio of HDPE waste and ramie fiber of 97.5:2.5, 95:5, and 92.5:7.5. The results of tensile and impact tests show the highest strength and toughness are shown in the HDPE sample and ramie fiber 92.5:7.5 with a value of 5.23 MPa and 96.17 kJ/m2. The highest material ductility was demonstrated in the HDPE and ramie fiber composite 97.5:2.5 with a value of 1.32%. In addition, the highest stiffness was demonstrated in the HDPE and ramie fiber composite 95:5 with a value of 845.40 MPa. The results of the morphological investigation showed that the bond between the matrix and filler was partially formed and the smallest fiber diameter was 4 µm.Keywords: HDPE, Ramie, Composite, Geomembrane, Vanamei
