Abstract

Environmental pollution and global warming cause serious problems in human life. Since the demand for our human daily appliances had been increased by years, the organic chemical-based industries response that demand increment by increasing their production process. Because of that, the environmental pollution becomes worse and worse. Green chemistry thus was introduced to influence the chemical industries to strive for better environmental sustainability. Over 20 years, green chemistry principles have to influence the organic chemistry field especially as many researchers have put their attention on that field of research. So far, synthesis process involving organic compounds has been considered on waste prevention, safer solvents, design for high energy efficiency, and usage of renewable feedstocks. This review comprehensively discusses in brief about the implementation of green chemistry principle and their applications in the synthesis process of organic compounds.

Abstract

Clays are low-price and very useful material for water treatment purpose. In this work, we reported the application of activated natural kaolinite material which obtained from Wediombo beach, Yogyakarta for methylene blue adsorption. The natural kaolinite material was activated under an acidic condition to obtain the activated kaolinite material. The activated kaolinite material was characterized using Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and surface analysis. From the adsorption experiment, the activated kaolinite material gave moderate adsorption percentages for methylene blue. The adsorption kinetics followed the Ho and McKay kinetic model while the adsorption isotherm followed Langmuir model. The qmax value for methylene blue adsorption using activated natural kaolinite material was at a moderate level (3.40 mg g-1). The plausible adsorption mechanism of methylene blue on the surface of activated kaolinite material happened through hydrogen bondings and/or electrostatic interactions. These findings are important for a wastewater treatment using a low-cost adsorbent material.
