Abstract

Liver is important for both defense mechanism and protein synthesis in the human body. This study examined the anti-toxicity of Peperomia pellucida on liver function of diabetic-induced rats. It was an experimental study using pre- and post-test control group design. Rats were categorized into five groups, i.e., groups of healthy control (A), negative control (B), and treatment (C-E) with dosages of 150, 300, and 600 mg/kg of P. pellucida, respectively. Each group comprises of 5 rats. The TNF-a, IL-12, and GSH were measured before and after a 14 days administration of P. pellucida. The data were analyzed by using one-way ANOVA test followed by Duncan's post hoc test with a significance level of 5%. The result showed that P. pellucida steeping can improve liver cell damage, which was shown from the parameters of liver function, inflammation, and antioxidants. The mean of TNF-a and IL-12 levels decreased while the total protein, albumin, and GSH levels increased significantly after administration of P. pellucida steeping. Our study concluded that P. pellucida steeping might reduce TNF-a and IL-12 levels, and increased GSH level in diabetic-induced rat. A 300 mg/kg was the most effective dosage to reduce IL-12 and increase GSH.

Abstract

Heavy metals, such as Cu, are hazardous components so that it needs to reduce their concentration due to their negative impact on the environment. One method that can be used to reduce heavy metals in waste is to use adsorbents (synthetic zeolites). Utilization of agricultural waste such as rice husks and corncobs as precursors of synthetic zeolites will add economic value because it is relatively cheap with a lot of availability. This research aimed to find out new variants of synthetic zeolites, which can reduce the concentration of Cu in the adsorption process. The study consisted of 3 stages, the first stage was zeolite synthesis by the sol-gel method with 3 zeolite variants (A, B and C), the second stage was characterization using XRD and SEM, and the third stage was zeolites optimization (variations in pH, weight, and concentration). According to the results of SEM, zeolite B had a larger and uniform pore size so as it produced a greater adsorption capacity (4.82 mg/g) to be compared with zeolites A and C. The results showed synthetic zeolite C was able to adsorb Cu waste by following the adsorption isotherm model of Langmuir

Abstract

Highly porous and stable materials, such as alumina, silica, carbon, zeolite, and bentonite,  are well known and have been used as metal ion adsorbents. However, the use of biogenic carbon as adsorbent is relatively rare. The adsorption of copper(II) onto activated carbon extracted from Salcaca zalacca peel was studied. The effect of initial copper concentration, contact time, and a series temperature was studied. Adsorption was carried out in a batch technique. The adsorption equilibrium was reached after 60 minutes of contact time. The adsorption data had a better fitting line for the Langmuir isotherm model. The Langergren and also Ho and Mc Kay equations were used to predict the adsorption kinetics. The adsorption process obeyed a second-order kinetics model. The Thermodynamic parameters were ∆H°= -42.4180 kJ/mol; ∆S°= -0.0843 kJ/mol; ∆G°<0. These values indicated that the adsorption was exothermic and spontaneous. The low ∆G° value revealed that the main mechanism controlling the adsorption process was physisorption.

Abstract

Computational study of natural indigo has been carried out to get the optimized structure and electronic properties of two indigo at different pH. It has been found that indigo has the potential to be applied as active material in the dye-sensitized solar cell. Computational calculations are performed using Density Functional Theory (DFT) with B3LYP functional and 6-31G(d,p) for ground state geometry optimization and Time Dependent-Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) for excited states single point calculation. All calculations are carried out in the gas phase. Geometry optimization results show that Indigo has a planar structure, whereas leuco-indigo structure is not planar. Leuco-indigo absorption wavelength is shorter than indigo. The density of HOMO and LUMO is spreading throughout the molecule. The density of electrons at LUMO extends to the anchoring group. Based on excitation energy, absorption wavelength, excitation composition, and HOMO-LUMO density, it can be concluded that indigo has the potential to be applied in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC)

Abstract

Ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with poor water solubility, so the absorption is less than optimal. One method to improve the solubility of ketoprofen is through the formation of multicomponent solid forms. The success of the formation of the multicomponent solid forms is strongly influenced by interactions between components in their solids. In this study, the analysis of the interactions in solid form of ketoprofen-coformers was carried out using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and hot stage microscopy (HSM) with adipic acid and isonicotinamide as coformers. From the experimental results, the mixtures of ketoprofen-adipic acid show a solid-liquid phase diagram that indicates a simple eutectic system with eutectic points on the molar fraction of ketoprofen 0.9 and temperature at 92.9 °C. The ketoprofen-isonicotinamide mixtures have a eutectic system with the peritectic point. The solid-liquid phase diagram has indicated that the ketoprofen-adipic acid in eutectic composition forms a miscible liquid phase without interaction in its solid form, whereas the ketoprofen-isonicotinamide forms a miscible liquid phase accompanied by interaction with the excess component. The results of the HSM analysis showed the same phenomenon as the result of the DSC experiment and have confirmed with the FTIR analysis

Abstract

The composites of hydroxyapatite and SiO2 were successfully synthesized. The hydroxyapatite was prepared from golden snail shells (Pomacea canaliculata L). The hydroxyapatite and hydroxyapatite-SiO2 composites were characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDS. Furthermore, hydroxyapatite and hydroxyapatite-SiO2 composites were used to remove Pb(II) from aqueous solution. Various adsorption parameters such as pH of the solution, contact time, and initial Pb(II) concentration were used to study the adsorption process. The optimum pH of the solution for removal of Pb(II) by hydroxyapatite and hydroxyapatite-SiO2 composite at pH 6 and contact time at 60 minutes. Both adsorbents follow the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity of the hydroxyapatite-SiO2 composite is greater compare to hydroxyapatite, respectively 135.14 and 123.46 mg/g. The pseudo-second order kinetic model had a correlation coefficient (R2) greater than the pseudo-first order so pseudo-second order kinetic is better to describe adsorption kinetics
