Abstract

The increasing environmental pollution is one of the consequences of human activities that continue to expand. The environment has limitations in coping with pollutants generated by humans, such as waste from the laundry industry. This research aims to evaluate the combined effect of zeolite produced from corn cobs and the use of microorganisms capable of degrading anionic surfactants, with the goal of reducing the concentration of anionic surfactants in laundry wastewater. The methods used include adsorption using corn cobs as adsorbents and biodegradation using surfactant-degrading bacteria. Morphological observations using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) indicate that the produced zeolite has a crystal structure that stacks up like clumps of cubes. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis shows that zeolite synthesized with a silica extraction ratio from corn cobs and sodium aluminate of 20:20 mL has been successfully conducted. The biodegradation process of anionic surfactants in laundry wastewater using a combination of synthesized zeolite and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria employing the Methylene Blue Alkyl Substance (MBAS) method has shown a decrease in concentration to 1.66 mg/L and degradation of 33.55%, especially in sample 3 with variations of 7.5 grams of corn cob zeolite and 15% microorganisms, during a 5-day experiment.

Abstract

A study has been conducted on materials containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) coated with poly eugenol. This research aims to explore the synthesis process and properties of PVA coated with poly eugenol. Characterization of PVA includes tensile strength measurement and surface observation using SEM. Additionally, the antioxidant activity of PVA was also tested using the DPPH method. In this study, PVA films were obtained by dissolving PVA in a water solvent. The characterization results indicate that the tensile strength ranges from 25.56 to 271.10 Mpa, elongation reaches 315.20 to 320%, and the young modulus ranges from 4.05 to 6.27 Mpa. Surface observation with SEM shows a smooth surface without pores. The antioxidant activity test shows IC50 values ranging from 84.11 to 175.37 ppm.

Abstract

Banana peels have been widely used as a biosorbent for metal ion adsorption. However, the small size of banana peels as a biosorbent leads to difficulty in the separation process of banana peels from the aqueous solution. Thus, the banana peels were impregnated into PVA/Alginate beads to increase the biosorbent size using the (W/O) emulsion process. Various amounts of banana peels were impregnated into beads. The obtained beads were used to adsorb copper(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The result shows that beads could extract the copper(II) ion from an aqueous solution containing 0.7875 ppm copper(II) ion at pH 4 with the quantity of extraction was 0.729 mmol/g. The effect of contact time and initial concentration indicates that the adsorption process of copper(II) ion from aqueous solution using beads follows the Langmuir isothermal adsorption and the adsorption kinetic follows the pseudo-second-order equation. Hence, the adsorption mechanism follows a chemisorption process with monolayer formation on the PVA/Alginate containing banana peels. Further investigation was carried out and found that the surface reaction and film diffusion occurred at initial stage of contact time, adsorptive diffusion through pores occurred at the later stage.
