Abstract

The Limau Sundai plant (Citrus Nobilis Lour) is widely known in West Sumatra. The fruit of this plant is commonly consumed as a cooking spice. This antioxidant activity test research aims to find out the potential of Lime Sundai peel as a source of antioxidant compounds. The peel of Limau Sundai fruit is ensnared with methanol solvent and concentrated using a rotary evaporator to obtain a coarse extract. The crude extract is then partitioned successively in n-hexane and ethyl acetate so that n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol extracts are obtained. Sundai lime peel has good antioxidant activity against DPPH, which is shown in the ethyl fraction of acetate, methanol, and liquid methanol. The antioxidant activity of the three fractions is smaller than vitamin C and more significant than the hexane fraction. In the ethyl acetate, methanol and methanol/aqueous fractions with concentrations of 1076, 1822, and 1372 ppm in a row can reduce 50% of DPPH radical activity.

Abstract

Liquid waste is a major problem in the textile industry environment that has the most widespread influence because physical and aquatic characteristics can have a negative impact on waters. Most of the liquid waste produced by batik comes from the dyeing process and environmental pollution. If it is disposed of directly into the environment without prior processing, the environment has a limited ability to degrade dyestuffs. One alternative method to remove the dye in water contaminated with methyl orange is biosorption using a cheap and easily available biosorbent, such as a langsat shell. This study used a batch method with variations in pH, solution concentration, particle size, stirring speed, and contact time. The results of each variation carried out obtained the optimum conditions for the absorption of Methyl Orange, namely at: pH 4, concentration 150 mg/L, and particle size 150 μm. The adsorption isotherm study was carried out, the Langmuir equation yielded a regression coefficient value that was close to one (R2 = 0.9964) so that it could be said to be better with a maximum absorption capacity of 3.1164 mg/g
