Abstract

Ogan ethnic population in Indralaya, Ogan Ilir District, South Sumatra was known to have used several types of plants, there are Swietenia mahagoni, Averrhoa carambola, Syzygium samarangense, Musa acuminata, Nymphaea rubra, Syzygium polyanthum, and Andrographis paniculata for the treatment of hypertension. But, scientific information has not yet been found secondary metabolites that are responsible for providing these activities. The study began with the extraction of methanol from the seven types of plants using methanol as a solvent. Each thick extract was tested for its activity using the 1,1-diphenyl-1-picryllhydrazyl (DPPH) method. The extract which showed the highest activity (methanol extract) was subsequently carried out in vitro antihypertension test using the Angiotencyn Converting Enzyme (ACE) method. Antioxidant test results showed that the methanol extract from S. samarangense stem bark had the highest antioxidant activity with IC50 was 83.06 μg/mL. Antihypertension test of methanol extract from S. samarangense stem bark obtained IC50 ACE was 61.56 μg/mL. Based on the IC50 value, it shows that S. samarangense stem bark has potential as a source of antioxidant compounds as well as a source of antihypertension compounds. Keywords: Syzygium samarangense, stem bark, antioxidant, antihypertension

Abstract

Heavy metals are considered hazardous to health if they accumulate excessively in the body. One way to remove iron metal ions by adsorption process uses adsorbents. In this study, removal of heavy metals such as ferrous metal (Fe) was adsorbed using an adsorbent in the form of nanosilica. Nanosilica is made from rice husk ash where rice husk ash contains 80-90% silica so that it can be utilized as a raw material in nanosilica synthesis. Synthesis of nanosilica was carried out using a solvent in the form of KOH with a variation of 1.5M concentration; 2.5M; 3.0M; 3.5M and 4.5M. The five types of nanosilica were applied to textile waste containing ferrous metal (Fe) with variations in a contact time of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes. Waste containing iron metal that has been adsorbed was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) to see the remaining iron content. From the analysis of AAS produced the smallest iron concentration of 0.186 ppm in nanosilica with 1.5 M KOH solvent. Nanosilica with 1.5M KOH solvent was characterized using a Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) -Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) tool to obtain a surface morphological size of 0.44 µm with 28.95% SiO2 content.

Abstract

Insulator oil is one of important parts in transformer, in a form of a liquid, functioned as insulating and cooling media. The insulator oil made of mineral oils used in transformer potentially causes environmental problems, especially when an explosion occur inside the transformer which may cause oil spill or water contamination. Here, we study the used of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) as the raw material for insulation oil. In this work, POME was extracted, distilled, measured the acid value followed by esterification and transesterification processes to obtain the insulation oil. The viscosity, flash point, acid value, and breakdown voltage of the insulation oil was measured. In the esterification process, HCl catalyst was added with a ratio of 1.5% to degrade the acid value of the oil, while in the transesterification process, NaOH or KOH catalysts were added with a ratio of 1.5 and 3%. The result for KOH catalyst is as follows, viscosity were 2.09 and 2.32 cSt, the flash point were 166 and 170oC, and the acid value were 0.5 mg KOH/g after the addition of 1.5 and 3% catalyst respectively, while the breakdown voltage was 55 kV after the addition of 1.5% KOH catalyst. NaOH catalyst shows result: viscosity were 5.34 and 5.02 cSt, the flash point were 178 and 183oC, and the acid value were 0.5 mg KOH/g after the addition of 1.5 and 3% catalyst, respectively, while the breakdown voltage was 46 kV after the addition of 1.5% KOH catalyst.

Abstract

The availability of clean water is a basic need for human life. Peat water is well-known as acidic water (low pH), high content of Fe2+ and Mn2+ and colored that make it hard to remove by conventional filtration method. Treatment in batch and continuous methods by using Calcium Oxide (CaO) and aluminum sulfate Al2 (SO4)3×18H2O result in significance reduce of iron and manganese. The batch method in particular, able to reduce iron from 3.5 ppm to 0.1 ppm (97%), manganese from 0.59 ppm to null (100%) and color from 130 TCU to 1.7 TCU. Turbidity also reduced from 33.8 NTU to 1.9 NTU whereas pH increase from 3.19 to 6.8. The continuous method in different circumstances shows iron removal from 3.35 ppm to 0.05 ppm (98.6%), manganese from 0.5 ppm to null (100%) whilst pH raised from 3.19 to 7.16 and turbidity decrease from 31.8 NTU to 1.14 NTU. Both results fulfill the water quality standard required by Permenkes No. 416/Menkes/1990

Abstract

The pulp and paper industry wastewater has not met the environmental uality standards set by the government so it may causes pollution to the environment; therefore, it is necessary to find a better wastewater treatment. The problem of this study is how to find the wastewater treatment alternative in order to get a more effective and efficient treatment. Fenton reagents are H2O2 compounds (hydrogen peroxide) with iron catalysts and is one of the Advance Oxidations Process (AOPs) methods, which can be used as an alternative to process wastewater from the pulp and paper industry. In this study, the ratio of Fenton reagent molar concentration, temperature, and stirring time were varied, with stirring speed of 300 rpm, Fenton reagent volume of 25 mL, and pH set at 3. The visible parameters in this study were COD and TSS degradation. From this study, the best ratio of Fenton reagent is 1:2000, where this ratio can reduce the COD from 1002 mg/L to 176.05 mg/L and the TSS from 125 mg/L to 49.3 mg/L. This value has met the environmental quality standards for the pulp and paper industry set by the Indonesian government.
