Abstract

A new chelating agent, L-histidine-modified silica from rice husk (LHSRH), was prepared to increase the adsorption capacity and selectivity for Pb(II). LHSRH was synthesized by immobilizing L-histidine on silica from rice husk (RH) modified with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS). Silica from rice husk (SRH) was synthesized via precipitation process by adding hydrochloric acid solution to rice husk ash (RHA). The RHA was subsequently destructed with sodium hydroxide and heated to obtain sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). SRH was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. The LHSRH was used further to adsorp Pb(II) metal ion. The pH range, amount of adsorbent, and adsorption time were optimized by response surface methodology. The optimum condition for the adsorption of Pb(II) was pH 5, an amount of adsorbent 0.1 g; and adsorption time 15 minutes. The adsorption capacity for Pb(II) ion was found to be 62.5 mg/g. The adsorption behavior of the matrix followed the Langmuir’s model.

Abstract

In this paper, we described the use of a light emitting diode (LED)-based photometer and chemometric analysis for quality control of king of bitter or sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata) raw material. The quality of medicinal plants is determined by their chemical composition. The quantities of chemical components in medicinal plants can be assessed using spectroscopic technique. We used an “in house” photometer to generate spectra of sambiloto. The spectra were analyzed by chemometric methods, i.e. principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), with the aim of herbal quality classification based on the harvesting time. From the results obtained, based on thin layer chromatography analysis, sambiloto with different collection times (1, 2, and 3 months) contained different amounts of active compounds. Evaluation of sambiloto, using its spectra and chemometric analysis has successfully differentiated its quality based on harvesting time. PCA with the first two PC’s (PC-1 = 60% and PC-2 = 35%) was able to differentiate according to the harvesting time of sambiloto. Three models were obtained by PLS-DA and could be used to predict unknown sample of sambiloto according to the harvesting time
