Abstract

In this paper, spectroscopic analysis (OES) for copper (Cu) plasma was achieved at atmospheric pressure. Q switched Nd: YAG pulsed laser with a fundamental wavelength (1064 nm), energy range (500-800) mJ, frequency (6 Hz), and laser pulses (10-30 pulses) was applied to induce copper plasma. Based on the spectroscopic analysis, plasma parameters like electron temperature (Te), electron density (ne), Debye length (λD), and plasma frequency (fp) have been calculated. The results demonstrated that the laser energy affects all plasma parameters, with an electron temperature (Te) range of (0.6820-0.8949) eV and electron number density (ne) range of (13.667-17.235)×1017 cm−3. Also, the image of the place of laser bombardment of copper (Cu) metal shows three diameters or circles, each circle bears a different color from the other. It can be described as a crater, and the interaction of the laser with copper metal is obvious by laser ablation, and here the effect of the increased energy of the laser appears during the spectroscopic diagnosis and the process of metal bombardment.

Abstract

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) is an anionic clay material known to be effective as a catalyst for the photodegradation of dye organic pollutants. Zn/Al LDH was synthesized by coprecipitation then impregnated with metal oxides and calcined at 300oC to form Zn/Al-TiO2 and Zn/Al-ZnO as photodegradation catalysts of congo red (CR). The characterization of the catalysts after preparation using SEM and UV-DRS while the catalyst that have been used in 5 regeneration cycles was characterized by XRD and FTIR. Photodegradation of CR was carried out by optimizing pH, catalyst weight, and time radiation. Zn/Al LDH which was modified into Zn/Al-TiO2 and ZnAl-ZnO had a better degradation percentage, rate constant, and stability than Zn/Al LDH pristine structure. Zn/Al LDH, Zn/Al TiO2 and Zn/Al-ZnO catalyzed CR photodegradation for 120 minutes with percent degradation 68.39%, 81.24% and 71.09%, respectively.

Abstract

The study of vegetable oil used as fuel in conventional engines leads to problems like the low volatility and high viscosity. This research aims to evaluate the droplet combustion characteristics that correlated with the density, viscosity, and the flash point of the biofuel from mixed vegetable oil with clove oil. Biofuels used in research are Jatropha Oil (CJO), Kapok Oil (KSO), Coconut oil (CCO), and all biofuel mixed with clove oil in 5% basis volume. Fuel properties that tested both biofuel and fuel mixture using the ASTM method are density (ASTM D1298), viscosity (ASTM D445), The flash point (ASTM D93). The droplet combustion experiment used suspended droplets placed in the junction of the K-type thermocouple and the Ni-Cr wire (as the coil heater) to heat the droplet until the combustion occurred. The result indicates that adding 5% clove oil in biofuel creates higher density, the viscosity decreases until 10%, and the flash point decrease to 30%. Droplet combustion results that adding 5% clove oil creating a more complete combustion process in CCO than KSO and CJO. Higher viscosity in KSO and CJO leads to eugenol and terpene (clove oil compound) trapping in the fuel droplet. Due to eugenol and terpene having great volatility, they are evaporating rapidly leading to secondary atomization and micro-explosion phenomena.

Abstract

Fenofibric Acid (FA) is classified under Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) class II due to its poorly soluble in water and high permeability. The present study aimed to prepare the eutectic mixture of FA with nicotinic acid (NA) and characterize its solid state properties and in vitro dissolution rate, along with its in vivo antihyperlipidemic activity. Solvent drop grinding was the method chosen to prepare the eutectic mixture of FA and NA. Solid-state properties were evaluated using thermal analysis Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), crystallographic analysis Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD), FT-IR spectroscopic analysis, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). To examine in vivo antihyperlipidemic activity, 16 male Swiss Webster rats were injected with 1% hyperlipidemia-inducing solution, followed by the oral administration of 9.45 mg/kg FA and NA (equivalent to 9.45 mg/kg FA), after which the decrease in cholesterol levels was measured. Two-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the data, followed by Duncan’s multiple range test (95% confidence interval). The results proved that FA formed the eutectic mixture with NA at a molar ratio of 6:4. The eutectic mixture of FA-NA had a better solubility and in vitro dissolution rate compared to intact FA, which also led to notably improved antihyperlipidemic activity.

Abstract

The minimum routing cost spanning tree (MRCST) is a spanning tree that minimizes the sum of pairwise distances between its vertices given a weighted graph. In this study, we use Campos Algorithm with slight modifications on the coefficient of spanning potential. Those algorithms were implemented on a random table problem data of complete graphs of order 10 to 100 in increments of 10. The goal is to find the diameter (the largest shortest path distance) and the maximum link (the maximum number of edges connecting two vertices) in the spanning tree solution of MRCST. The result shows that a slight modification of the spanning potential coefficients gives better solutions.

Abstract

Cellulose-based Ni/Cr (Ni/Cr-C) and cellulose-based Zn/Cr (Zn/Cr-C) composite materials have been successfully carried out, which is indicated by the XRD, FTIR, and BET analysis. Layered double hydroxide Ni/Cr (Ni/Cr-LDH) increased surface area from 0.128 m2/g to 2.207 m2/g in Ni/Cr-C composites, and layered double hydroxide Zn/Cr (Zn/Cr-LDH) also increased surface area from 0.133 m2/g to 3.714 m2/g in Zn/Cr-C composites. The pHpzc of the material in this study is pH 5.94-8.43, while the optimum pH of all materials is pH 9. Ni/Cr-LDH experienced an increase in adsorption capacity after becoming a Ni/Cr-C composite, from 8.985 mg/g to 24.510 mg/g, and Zn/Cr-LDH experienced an increase in adsorption capacity from 13.263 mg/g to 30.960 mg/g in Zn/Cr-C. Zn/Cr-C composite material has a greater adsorption ability than Ni/Cr-C. Kinetic and isotherm model in this study followed by PSO kinetic with optimum contact time at 70 minutes and Freundlich isotherm. Ni/Cr-C and Zn/Cr-C composite materials can be used repeatedly in the regeneration process until the 4th cycle.

Abstract

Anthocyanins are compounds responsible for plants’ blue, purple, violet, magenta, red, and orange colours. Anthocyanins are found in tropical fruits. Generally, anthocyanins are found in the peel tissues of plants. The increasing interest in anthocyanins, especially in the field of food and health, supports the development of anthocyanin exploration research. One of the uses of anthocyanins that are widely developed today is the addition of anthocyanins as indicators in smart packaging. For application on the packaging, in addition to extraction techniques, it is also necessary to assess the characteristics of anthocyanins in the environment. This study aims to examine the anthocyanin potential of red banana waste and the effect of light on anthocyanin stability. The anthocyanins observed are the result of anthocyanin extraction from the red banana peel and bracts using the maceration method. The solvent used is water acidified with citric acid. The study results showed that the total anthocyanin content in red banana bracts extract was higher than in extract from red banana peel. A concentrated extract from the bracts of a red banana contains 114.26 μg/g FW of total anthocyanins. In comparison, the concentrated extract of red banana peel contains 110.27 μg/g FW of total anthocyanins. Identification of concentrated extracts of red banana peel and flower through FTIR test, maximum wavelength test with UV-Vis and discolouration test showed that the extract contains anthocyanin compounds. Irradiation with a 25-watt bulb lamp, UV lamp and sunlight on concentrated extracts of the red banana peel and bracts showed degraded anthocyanin content. The results of this study show that the peel and flower of red bananas have the potential to be developed as a source of anthocyanins.
