Abstract

Surfactant Modified Activated Carbon (SMAC) is a surfactant-modified activated carbon product. The surfactant used in this study was the cationic surfactant Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Bromide (HDTMA-Br). These surfactants can change the activated carbon's surface to be positively charged due to the presence of the surfactant hydrophilic groups. This SMAC is more selective in absorbing anions, which in this study is for the adsorption of nitrate anions. This research aims to prepare a new material that is superior to activated carbon in absorbing nitrate anions. This research was conducted in several stages. In the first stage, rice husk was carbonized through pyrolysis at 300°C for 10 minutes. In the second stage, carbon was activated using 30% ZnCl2 and microwaves for 5 minutes and 400 W. The third stage was modifying activated carbon by contacting or adsorbing HDTMA-Br on activated carbon. The concentration of HDTMA-Br varied at 200-400 ppm and the adsorption time was 3-7 hours. The success of the modification was measured by the efficiency of HDTMA-Br in modifying activated carbon. This is supported by the results of the characterization of FTIR, GSA, SEM, and thermodynamic parameters. The resulting SMAC was applied for the adsorption of nitrate anions, and the results were compared to carbon and activated carbon. The results indicate that the best SMAC is formed at an optimum concentration of 300 ppm, within 4 hours, with an adsorption efficiency of 97.345%. The characterization results also show that SMAC has been formed, as evidenced by the presence of a peak at a wavenumber of about 1500 cm-1, a C-N group derived from N(CH3)3 in the HDTMA-Br surfactant structure. The SMAC spectra also appeared weak peaks at the wave number 2918 cm-1, which indicated the CH2-R group stretching from the HDTMA-Br surfactant. SEM image shows that HDTMA-Br has covered the pores of activated carbon. Meanwhile, the SMAC surface area is lower than that of activated carbon. Thermodynamic parameters indicate that HDTMA-Br interacts physically with activated carbon. The adsorption capacity of nitrate anion by SMAC is 3,638 mg/g, higher than carbon and activated carbon.

Abstract

The effective isolation of intracellular enzymes from thermophilic bacteria is challenging because of their sturdy membrane. On the other hand, the low-cost and nontoxic method is essential for industrial food enzymes. The freeze-thaw cycles using acetone-dry ice as a frozen system was studied for efficient isolation of thermostable b-galactosidase from Geobacillus sp. dYTae-14. This enzyme has been known for application in the dairy industry to reduce the lactose content. In this study, the freeze-thaw method was performed with cycle variations 3, 5, and 7 cycles. Acetone-dry ice (-78°C) is used as a frozen system and boiling water for thawing. The b-galactosidase activity was assayed using ortho-Nitrophenyl-β-galactoside (ONPG) as substrate and protein content determined with the Lowry method. The results show that the most effective freeze-thaw is five cycles. The enzyme’s highest specific activity is 3610.13 units/mg proteins at 40-60 % ammonium sulfate saturation, with a purity value of 2.52.

Abstract

A thin layer preparation of CuO from Cu2O powder using Fehling's solution for photoelectrochemical applications has been performed. The research was focused on studying the effect of annealing temperature and the number of drops on the performance of CuO thin layer semiconductors from Cu2O powder prepared by spin coating with a rotation rate of 500 rpm for 15 seconds. The thin layers were treated with annealing with temperature variations of 300°C, 400°C, and 500°C for 1 hour and variations in the number of drops of 10, 20, and 50 drops. The CuO thin layer was tested in a photoelectrochemical process as a photocathode to split water with a simulated light of 1.5 AM (100 mW/cm2). The process of splitting water as a method of producing hydrogen energy by photoelectrochemistry is assisted by semiconductors, such as CuO, in an electrolyte solution to capture photons and drive the water-splitting reactions. Copper (II) Oxide (CuO) is a p-type semiconductor with a band gap of 1.2-2.5 eV, which can be used as a photocathode. The optimum photoelectrochemical measurement results were obtained at an annealing temperature of 400°C and 50 drops with a current density of 0.584 mA/cm2 at a potential of 0.2 V versus the Reversible Hydrogen Electrode (RHE). The results of the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis show that the morphology of the oxide is spherical. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis displays that the sample contained 51.46% and 48.54% of Cu and O, respectively. The X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) analysis shows that the oxide grain size is 44.137 nm.

Abstract

The adsorption efficiency and selectivity of activated carbon as an adsorbent for ions can be improved. One way is to convert activated carbon into surfactant modified activated carbon (SMAC). The surfactants used in this study were the anionic surfactant Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and the cationic surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA-Br). This research aims to synthesize SMAC to obtain a material with a surface charge and absorb ions better than activated carbon. This research consisted of four stages. The first step was the carbonization of rice husks using a pyrolysis reactor at 400°C for 1 hour. The second stage was carbon activation using 30% ZnCl2 and microwave radiation for 5 minutes and 400 W. The third stage was the modification of activated carbon and characterization by FTIR, SEM, SAA. The fourth stage was the adsorption of Pb cations and nitrate anions by carbon, activated carbon, and SMAC. Several variables were applied, such as the type of surfactant, time, and method of modification. There are three ways of modification: (1) method A, in which activated carbon is brought into contact with SLS then HDTMA-Br. (2) Method B in which activated carbon was contacted with HDTMA-Br then SLS. (3) Method C in which activated carbon was brought into contact with SLS together with HDTMA-Br. All variables were investigated. The results showed that the optimum time for making SMAC for both surfactants was 4 hours, the optimum concentrations of SLS and HDTMA-Br were 60 and 300 ppm, respectively. SMAC made by the C method was the most effective at adsorbing Pb2+ and NO3- with adsorption capacities of 1.376 and 0.896 mg/g, respectively. The success of SMAC synthesis was evidenced by the S=O and (CH3)3N+ groups in the FTIR spectra. The SMAC surface area is smaller than activated carbon, 14.472 m2/g, but the surface morphology is smoother and more homogeneous.

Abstract

This study aimed to obtain the most efficient Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) using yellow sweet potato extract (Ipomoea Batatas L.) as a dye sensitizer, with acetic acid, polyethyleneglycol (PEG), and polyvinylalcohol (PVA) as TiO2 binding solution. This research includes the preparation of TiO2 paste with variations: 4 g TiO2 plus 2 M acetic acid (Paste-1), 3.5 g TiO2 plus 15 mL PEG-400 (Paste-2), and 0.5 g TiO2 plus 0.75 mL. PVA (Paste-3). Anthocyanin dye from yellow sweet potato was prepared and used to soak the TiO2 photoelectrode for 24 hours. UV-vis and FTIR spectra of dye solution from yellow sweet potato extract showed anthocyanin content at a maximum wavelength of 283 nm and were strengthened by the appearance of hydroxyl groups in the infrared spectra. The highest DSSC efficiency of 0.302% was obtained from PVA as a TiO2 binder, with an electric current of 0.0204 mA and an electric voltage of 338 mv.

Abstract

Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb (temulawak) is a native Indonesian plant; ethnobotanically, it can facilitate breast milk, body fresheners, stomach lozenges, and seizure medications. Temulawak contains essential oils, curcuminoids, and xanthorrhizol. Curcuminoids and xanthorrhizol have potential as antioxidants. Antioxidants in the body are useful for preventing oxidation reactions caused by free radicals, both from body metabolism and external factors. Curcuminoids are difficult to dissolve in water and have a very low bioavailability. Combining curcuminoids with oil can increase the absorption of curcuminoids into the systemic system. The low solubility and bioavailability can be overcome by combining temulawak rhizome extract and red fruit oil. Pandanus conoideus Lamk (red fruit), ethnobotanically, effectively prevents blindness, intestinal worms, skin diseases, and increasing stamina. Red fruit contains vitamin C, vitamin E, flavonoids, and β-carotene, potentially as antioxidants. Each sample of Curcuma and red fruit, as well as a mixture of Curcuma and red fruit samples, were tested for their antioxidant activity using the DPPH method (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl). The ethanol extract of temulawak rhizome has intense antioxidant activity because it has an IC50 of 55.21 ppm. Red fruit oil has feeble antioxidant activity because it has an IC50 of 2604.77 ppm. The 1: 1 ratio between red fruit oil and the ethanol extract of temulawak rhizome has weak antioxidant activity because it has an IC50 of only 1568.24 ppm. Meanwhile, the 1:10 ratio of red fruit oil and ethanol extract of temulawak rhizome has robust antioxidant activity because it has an IC50 of 19.85 ppm. It is concluded that the addition of oil to the ethanol extract of Curcuma can increase antioxidant activity.
