Abstract

Liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) is a solution resulting from the decomposition of organic matter originating from plant residues, agro-industrial waste, animal waste, and human waste containing more than one nutrient. LOF can be made from liquid organic matter (liquid organic waste), by composting and providing composting activators so that a LOF that is stable and contains complete nutrients can be produced. The use of LOF has the advantage that although it is often used it does not damage the soil and plants, the use of organic waste as fertilizer can help improve soil structure and quality, because it contains nutrients and other organic matter. The process of adding different fertilizers to the plants for 10 days showed that there were different height changes for each plant. With only water, the plants only reach 0.1 cm difference in 7 days. The plants that were given LOF and NPK (Chemical Fertilizer) gained height in only 4 days with heights 15.6 cm and 16 cm respectively. The growth percentage between LOF and NPK showed a significant difference in 4 days with 0.6% and 3.2 % respectively.

Abstract

OPEFB is one source of natural fiber-based composites which have the potential to become activated carbon. This study aims to synthesize and characterize the activated carbon/alginate -Cu composite. The characterization used in this study is FTIR. The results of this study The synthesis of activated carbon/alginate -Cu composites began with a process of carbonization and activation with H3PO4 to produce Activated Carbon. Alginate using commercial alginate. Furthermore, the three ingredients were mixed until homogeneous and put into a 0.1M CuSO4 solution to produce beads. The characterization of FTIR characterization on the activated carbon/alginate-Cu composite contained the functional group OH group, triple C bond from stretching alkyne, C=C aromatic group, C-H alkane group, C-O group , the P=O stretching vibration of the P-O-C group and the alcohol OH group expressing the active carbon; there are functional groups of hydroxyl (OH), carboxyl, carbonyl, and C-O-C and –COOH bonds which represent alginate and there are OH functional groups, stretching C-H bonds, C-O stretching, stretching C-C. The KALg Cu13 sample had a peak at a wavelength of 2838.79 Cm-1 Where the four samples show the presence of C≡N groups

Abstract

Research on the slow release kinetics of Fe(III) ions from Activated Carbon/Alginate-Fe(III) composites or abbreviated as K/A-Fe(III) has been carried out. The aim of this research was to synthesize K/A-Fe(III) composite as a material that has the potential to become a slow release micronutrient fertilizer and to study the kinetics of slow release of Fe(III) ions from the composite. The K/A-Fe(III) composite was synthesized by mixing alginate suspension and activated carbon (alginate: activated carbon weight ratio = 1:3 and 3:1) until homogeneous. Composite grains were characterized using Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, the kinetics of Fe(III) release from the three composite variations found that KAlg31 composite showed more absorption and release of Fe ions than KAlg13.
