Abstract

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a crucial nutrient involved in a number of enzymatic processes for tissue healing. Additionally serving as an antioxidant, ascorbic acid is crucial for keeping the immune system strong. It is essential to create a quantitative analytical approach to ascertain ascorbic acid concentration in many samples since its consumption from the daily food should be in the proper quantity. Here, we present a colorimetric probe made of synthetic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that changes its color only when samples containing ascorbic acid are present. In this study, phenanthroline served as an organic ligand or linker while copper served as the core metal that formed bonds with it. Cu-Phen MOF color fluctuations at 410 nm (from 408 nm to 412 nm) are linearly related to variations in light absorption. Moreover, as a substitute for spectrophotometry UV-visible, we have created a digital image-based colorimetry. The Cu-Phen MOFs’ color change has the maximum slope and linearity when the blue color intensity is used. The detection limit with high precision of 4.2% under ideal circumstances was 0.1 ppm. The established approach allowed for the exact and accurate assessment of ascorbic acid in genuine samples of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola L.).

Abstract

Sengon wood sawdust (SWS) is a solid waste of the wood industry with the potential as a source of cellulose and can increase its economic value. However, cellulose in plants is tightly bound to lignin which is called lignocellulose therefore needs to be delignified before utilization. In this study, we determined the optimum conditions for delignification from sengon wood sawdust cellulose (SWSC). Optimization variables were determined with the parameter of obtained hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin content. The optimization of SWSC delignification was then carried out using the factorial design by analyzing the effect of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentration (2% - 10%) and ratio (SWS : NaOH solution) (1:10 – 1:80) on hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin content. Optimal conditions were obtained at 2% NaOH (1:19.20) with concentrations of 8.01% hemicellulose, 52.49% cellulose, and 22.2% lignin. One sample T-test analysis of predictive and research values of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin showed insignificant results (P>0.05) which means that the optimization equation proved valid to determine the optimum conditions for cellulose delignification of sengon wood sawdust. FT-IR analysis, SEM imaging, and particle size distribution (PSA profile) showed that the cellulose produced under these conditions has similar characteristics to the standard of Avicel® PH 102.

Abstract

The electrochemical conversion process of CO2 into methanol using Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) has been done. The MEA consists of a Pt/C catalyst in the cathode and a Cu2O ZnO/C catalyst in the anode. The electrodes were made using the spraying method and then characterized using Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) methods to determine the ECSA (Electrochemical Surface Area) and electrical conductivity values. Besides that, also X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electrode Microscopy – Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX) analysis was to determine the crystal and morphological structure. The voltammogram from CV analysis indicated that the ECSA value on the Pt/C electrode was 7.2 m2/g and the Cu2O-ZnO/C electrodes as 0.69 m2/g. The electrode’s electrical conductivity value with Pt/C catalyst was 1.15 x 10−3 S/cm, and the electrode with Cu2O-ZnO/C catalyst was 0.80 x 10−3 S/cm. The results of the XRD analysis confirmed the presence of Cu2O and ZnO on the Cu2O-ZnO/C electrode and Pt on the Pt/C electrode. Meanwhile, the results of the SEM-EDX analysis showed that the Pt/C catalyst was spread more evenly with a larger percentage than Cu2O and ZnO. The result of the conversion of CO2 to methanol was measured using a methanol analyzer with variations in KHCO3 electrolyte concentration, variation of temperature operation, and variation of time operation. The best methanol concentrations after distillation process were 79.06 w/v %, with 1 M KHCO3, at room temperature and 2 hours operation.

Abstract

Zirconia (also known as zirconium dioxide, ZrO2) is a white crystalline naturally occurring mineral that offers excellent optical, dielectric, and mechanical properties. Considering these properties and referring to previous studies on the optimization of ZrO2 NPs synthesis, in the present study, we studied the crystalline, optical, and fluorescence properties of ZrO2 nanoparticles (NPs) formed by the hydrothermal synthesis route. The physicochemical features of the nanoparticles were examined in the photocatalytic oxidation of rhodamine B. From the powder XRD analysis, the ZrO2 NPs were found to be highly crystalline, while the fluorescence (FL) spectra indicated an emission band at 473 nm, which could be linked to a blue shift. Also, the FTIR and Raman spectroscopies confirmed the functionality and bonding, and in addition, the XPS analysis provided the elemental peaks of Zr 3d and O 1s, where all these analyses evidenced the successful formation of ZrO2. Examination of the photocatalytic activity of ZrO2 NPs revealed the capability of the material for rhodamine B photocatalytic degradation effectively, with a degradation efficiency of 86% after 2 h of treatment. Moreover, the nanoparticles exhibited stability and reusability over five cycles. Overall, from the analysis, ZrO2 NPs can be easily formed via the hydrothermal route with tailored optical and fluorescence properties to find applications in the electronics industry for the manufacturing of light emitting devices.

Abstract

Heavy metal pollution from anthropogenic activities can harm aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to determine the concentration of heavy metals (Pb and Cu) in waters, sediments, and mud crabs (Scylla serrata), and to analyze the relationship between environmental parameters and S. serrata consumed by humans. Samples were taken in the mangrove ecosystem around the Tanjung Api-Api port area in South Sumatra, Indonesia. Pb and Cu analysis used the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Pb and Cu linkages in waters, sediments, and S. serrata analyzed by SigmaPlot V12.5 and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) analyzed by XLSTAT 2022. The limit consumption of S. serrata was calculated using MWI (Maximum Weekly Intake) and MIT (Maximum Intake Tolerance). Based on the results, the heavy metal Pb in water was 0.1055 – 0.1322 mg.L-1, and Cu was not detected. Furthermore, Pb in sediments ranged from 7.0104 - 11.8186 mg.kg-1, Cu 3.7127 - 4.5347 mg.kg-1, and Pb in S. serrata ranged from 0.0001 - 0.0021 mg.kg-1, and Cu ranged from 0.03 – 0.0791 mg.kg-1. The concentration of heavy metals in water, sediment, and S. serrata had not exceeded the specified quality standard, except for Pb in water. The principal component analysis obtained F1 (44.35%), F2 (27.53%) and F3 (17.83%) groups. Based on MWI and MIT value, it showed high quality which concluded S. serrata was still safe for human consumption.

Abstract

The inventory model is used to determine the optimal inventory of a product. In certain cases, parameters in the inventory model are uncertain. Fractal interpolation techniques can be used to overcome parameter with uncertainty. Fractal interpolation results are affected by the fractal interpolation function and the vertical scaling factor. The vertical scaling factor is positive and less than 1. In this study, fractal interpolation techniques are introduced with variations in vertical scaling factor to overcome the uncertainty of demand data in inventory models. Furthermore, the interpolation results are used in fuzzy inventory models and expressed by Trapezoidal Fuzzy Number. This paper considers an inventory model with varying demand to optimize rice inventory. Based on the data obtained, the accuracy level will increase for the vertical scaling factor values close to 1. Optimal rice inventory of each successive fuzzy parameter is 1447963, 1013914, 504950, 215312. If the cost parameter is increased, then the amount of inventory is decreases.

Abstract

The Muara Laboh geothermal field lies in a South Solok basin zone, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Production and reinjection of geothermal fluids into the underground reservoir commonly induce crustal deformation. The study area is covered by 63.8% plantation, primary, and secondary forests, which limit the ability of conventional InSAR techniques. Therefore, an Intermittent Small BASeline Subset (ISBAS) analysis has been performed to estimate line-of sight (LOS) displacement time series due to geothermal production using the Sentinel-1 dataset between 8 March 2021 and 15 March 2022. The localized subsidence with ∼30 mm/yr rate over this tropical geothermal field has been revealed by using the ISBAS. The subsidence coincides with an area of the Muara Laboh geothermal reservoir. We suggest that geothermal production induced subsidence. In addition, the deformation in this geothermal field was controlled by faults and seasonally influenced by rainfall. Therefore, deformation variation was correlated with fluctuations in rainfall patterns. The geothermal reservoir system exhibited elastic expansion in response to seasonal recharge events during the rainy season.

Abstract

Research to increase the solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients is usually conducted by reducing the particle size. This research is one side that used the solid dispersion systems to increase solubility, especially on macrolide antibiotics for which there is still little information. The co-grinding technique on azithromycin-chitosan-alginate was chosen to produce a solid dispersion system. The parameters observed were changes in crystal structure, FTIR spectral patterns, morphological changes, and dissolution profile changes. The results of this research showed a change in the pattern of X-diffraction of azithromycin, physical interaction between azithromycin and the polymer, changes in the image of surface of solid dispersions, the solubility of solid dispersions in simulated-intestinal-fluid (SIF) solutions, and an increase in the dissolution rate of azithromycin indicating that the co-grinding technique to produce solid dispersions can increase the solubility of azithromycin.
