Abstract

Synthesis and characterization of copper-and-nitrogen-codoped zirconium titanate (Cu-N-ZrTiO4) as a photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) have been conducted. The main purpose of this research was to investigate the co-doping effect of copper and nitrogen dopants in ZrTiO4 as a photocatalyst for the photodegradation of MB. Titanium-(IV) tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) was dissolved into ethanol and mixed with aqueous zirconia (ZrO2) suspension containing 10% nitrogen (N) (w/w to Ti) from urea and various amount of copper as dopants. The calcination was performed at temperatures of 500, 700, and 900 °C. The composites were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) mapping, and specular reflectance UV-Visible spectrophotometer (SRUV-Vis). The degradation of 4 mg L−1 MB solution was conducted for various irradiation times. Characterization shows a significant decrease of the ZrTiO4 band gap from 3.09 to 2.65 eV, which was given by the composite with the addition of 4% Cu and calcination of 900 °C. Cu-N-ZrTiO4 composite can degrade MB solution up to 83% after 120 min under the irradiation of visible light.

Abstract

This research studied the impact of silanized clay modification on performance and antifouling Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane toward humic acid and methylene blue filtration. Clay modification was carried out by using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) to produce modified clay (Clay-APS). Hybrid membranes were prepared by phase inversion for humic acid and methylene blue filtration. Hybrid membranes were characterized by measuring surface hydrophilicity, water flux, rejection, and antifouling properties. Clay and Clay-APS modification increased hybrid membrane surface hydrophilicity, as indicated by increasing the β fraction and decreasing the water contact angle. The PVDF/Clay and PVDF/Clay-APS hybrid membranes showed high permeability and selectivity with the highest water flux values of 24.2 L m−2 h−1. The rejections for humic acid and methylene blue were 98.8 and 99.3%, respectively. The highest antifouling property was obtained from the PVDF/Clay-APS hybrid membrane, with a flux recovery ratio was 96.0%. The PVDF/Clay hybrid membrane performance and antifouling properties showed that the membranes have the potential for water treatment.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of soft template variations on Zinc Sulfate Hydrate (Gunningite) synthesis and the maximum adsorption capacity of ibuprofen. This study employed the soft template method and hydrothermal at 100 °C, followed by calcination at 550 °C. Here, ZnSO4 heptahydrate was used as the precursor for different templates. XRD analysis exhibited that the crystal sizes of Gunningite-F127G, Gunningite-F127, Gunningite-P123G, Gunningite-P123, and Gunningite-G were 18.35; 25.33; 25.67; 27.30; and 24.24 nm with crystallinity degrees of 36.89; 42.62; 46.83; 41.27; and 40.62%, respectively. FTIR examination indicated that the five samples contained functional groups of OH stretching at 3170 cm–1, Zn-O-Zn at 1637 cm–1, Zn-S=O symmetric and asymmetric at 900 and 1056 cm–1, and Zn-O at 521 cm–1. Furthermore, SEM-EDX investigation revealed that the morphology of all Gunningite samples was inhomogeneous due to agglomeration. Besides that, the elemental compositions in the samples were dominated by Zn and O elements. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained from each sample was 221.1 mg/g (Gunningite-F127G); 226.06 mg/g (Gunningite-F127); 234.23 mg/g (Gunningite-P123G); 229.76 mg/g (Gunningite-P123); and 222.85 mg/g (Gunningite-G). Moreover, the Gunningite kinetic model of ibuprofen adsorption followed Ho and McKay's pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Abstract

The influence of poly(2-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (PDMAEMA) block on the thermo- and pH-responsive behavior of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)-block-poly[(2-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)] (PNIPAM-b-PDMAEMA) was studied. The block copolymers were synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization by varying the chain length of the second block (PDMAEMA). 1H-NMR and FTIR spectra confirmed the formation of block copolymers PNIPAM21-b-PDMAEMA2 and PNIPAM21-b-PDMAEMA7 with the corresponding molar masses from the GPC data. Thermo- and pH-responsive behavior of block copolymers was investigated in phosphate buffer with various pHs. Interesting results showed that the hydrophilic carboxyl end group and the hydrophobic dodecyl end group of the RAFT agent affected the resulting phase transition temperature (Tc), while the Tc was found to be low in the acidic environment. Moreover, larger particle sizes of PNIPAM21‑b‑PDMAEMA2 were found with a pH of 9. It is noteworthy, that the resulted block copolymers might have the potential use in a drug delivery system.

Abstract

Up to 60–70% of the total textile dyes produced are azo dyes. An example of azo dye is methylene blue, which is commonly used in dyeing wool, silk, and cotton. This substance possessed harmful effects on the environment. Therefore, the removal process is mandatory. The adsorption process is a common method for dye removal in wastewater. One innovation to increase adsorption efficiency even further is by reducing adsorbent particle size. To understand the effect of adsorbent particle size on the adsorption process, in this study, granular activated carbon (GAC) was pulverized into powder (PAC) and superfine powder (SPAC). Adsorbent characterizations, isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamics tests were conducted. Based on this study, surface area, pore volume, and adsorption capacity were increased for smaller adsorbent particle sizes. Isotherm and kinetic analysis showed that there was no difference in the isotherm and kinetic models that applied to each activated carbon, but there was an increase in the isotherm and kinetic coefficient values at smaller particle sizes. Meanwhile, based on the thermodynamic test, there were differences in the dominant adsorption mechanism for each activated carbon. In GAC and SPAC, the dominant adsorption mechanism was electrostatic interactions, while in PAC was van der Waals forces.

Abstract

Skin aging is associated with decreased skin firmness and excessive pigmentation, which is caused by the activity of aging enzymes. This process can be prevented with powerful antioxidants from nature, such as ferulic acid which is abundant in rice. This study examines the nutritional content and phytochemicals of Indonesian purple rice and evaluates the bioactivity of ferulic acid as an anti-aging agent. Indonesian purple rice has less fat than black and white rice, more amino acids involved in aging regulation, and a similar phytochemical profile to black and white rice. Indonesian purple rice has a lower concentration of ferulic acid (4.114 ± 0.013 mg/L) than black rice but shows strong reducing power (IC50 9.35 ± 1.95 µg/mL), high anti-tyrosinase (IC50 59.57 ± 3.60 µg/mL), and moderate anti-collagenase activities (IC50 74.18 ± 3.11 µg/mL). This study supports the use of Indonesian purple rice as a promising active ingredient in natural anti-aging cosmetics.

Abstract

From the analysis of zircon tailings using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), Yttrium is a rare earth element (REE) with the highest concentration compared to other REEs. The purpose of this study is to determine the best kinetic model for describing how sulfuric acid extracts Yttrium from zircon tailings. Leaching temperatures of 200, 250, and 300 °C were used to determine the kinetics. Samples were obtained at 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 min for each temperature. This study discovered that the chemical reaction model's kinetics are the most closely related to those of the leaching process. The evaluation of the model utilizing the coefficient of determination (R2) on the relationship between each model and time lends support to this conclusion. The activation energy (Ea) of the leaching process is determined by the Arrhenius plot between ln k and 1/T. In the Yttrium leaching procedure, the Ea value is 14.42 kJ/mol. The chemical reaction model was in charge of the leaching process, according to the Ea value. The premise of the chemical reaction model is that chemical reactions regulate the rate of the reaction.

Abstract

A composite of hydroxyapatite modified silica (HASiO2) and 10% (w/w) polyeugenol (PE) was synthesized to produce a calcium phosphate cement with antibacterial activity. The compatibility of the composite (HASiO2_PE) with bone filler requirements was determined due to its crystal, surface, antibacterial, and cytocompatibility properties. The results showed that compositing HASiO2 and PE did not affect HA's chemical dan crystal properties. The presence of PE changed HASiO2 morphology to be coarser and denser than before composited. PE tends to agglomerate but does not affect the hydrophilicity of HASiO2. The presence of PE increased the surface area and total pore volume but lowered the average pore size. Different from pure PE, the composite of HASiO2_PE that contains of 10% PE has higher antibacterial activity toward Escherichia coli than Staphylococcus aureus. The composite is biocompatible because the cytotoxicity test toward pre-osteoblast cells resulted in an IC50 of 2092 μg/mL. Thus, due to its chemical, surface, antibacterial, and cytocompatibility properties, the HASiO2_PE composite can be recommended as a bone filler material.

Abstract

Bioactive peptides play an important role in targeting cancer cells. Venom protein from Naja sumatrana can be explored as a source of bioactive peptides. This research aims to identify and study the molecular docking of bioactive peptides (BPs) from trypsin hydrolysate of N. sumatrana venom protein which was fractionated using an SPE C18 column. The venom of N. sumatrana was hydrolyzed with trypsin enzyme. The protein hydrolysate was then fractionated using an RP-SPE HyperSep Retain PEP column, and the peptide fractions were tested for their anticancer activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells using the (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Identification of peptides in the active fraction was carried out through high-resolution mass spectrometry. The identified peptides were molecularly docked with the EGFR receptor using AutoDock Vina. The results showed that the degree of hydrolysis was 74.7%. The 75% methanol fraction is the active fraction against MCF-7 cells, with an IC50 value of 4.80 μg/mL and a selectivity index of 5.00. Peptide-active anticancer fractions with the sequence of NSLLVK, SSLLVK and TVPVKR were successfully identified and exhibited high binding affinity values, good RMSD values, and the most suitable model for the epidermal growth factor receptor.

Abstract

Environmental consequences during the COVID-19 pandemic have attracted attention due to the excessive use of antibiotics which lead to the release of the drug's residue, such as amoxicillin (AMX), into the environment. In this work, an advanced oxidation process based on a visible, active N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst was carried out to eliminate AMX. Nitrogen with different initial doping concentrations (15, 30, 45% w/w) was doped into TiO2 by the sol-gel method. The characterization technique such as XRD, FTIR, UV-SRS, and SEM-EDX revealed that nitrogen with 30% doping concentration improved the TiO2 response in the visible region, attributed to the lower band gap energy (2.97 eV). In the photodegradation processes, the TiO2-N (30%) photocatalyst possessed higher AMX degradation than undoped TiO2 for both UV and visible light irradiation. In an aqueous solution, the degradation percentage of AMX by TiO2-N (30%) was 68.5 and 84.12%, while the degradation percentage of AMX by TiO2 was 38.7 and 78.01% under visible and UV light, respectively.
