Abstract

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a technology developed to obtain new sources of renewable energy to produce electricity.  It can be an alternative for wastewater treatment and bioenergy producers of renewable electricity. This method requires bacteria to convert substrate in wastewater into electrical energy. The mechanism of MFC were oxidation of substrate by bacteria to produce electrons and protons at the anode. The proton in anode chamber passes through a membrane exchange to the cathode chamber, however the electrons couldn’t through. It caused accumulation of electron in anode chamber and then both of electrode had a potential difference, so electron in anode chamber passed through membrane exchange to cathode chamber. In this study used dual-chambers reactors with each compartment having 8 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm of dimensions and 5 mm of thickness. This study was subjected to evaluate the performance of MFC in soybean washing wastewater treatment with bacteria of EM4 to analyze the potentials production of electricity energy. The focus of this study was to evaluate the effect of time to electricity. MFC system was observed for 40 hours, measurement of voltages and electric currents performed every 4 hours. The results showed that there was potential of electricity production from soybean wastewater treatment by MFC. The maximum electricity reached in soybean wastewater media were voltage 441 mV (at 24 h), the electric currents 170 µA and the power density 51, 35 mW/m2 (at 24 h after acclimatization). Increasing of time effect to decreasing of electricity produced.Keywords: bioenergy, electricity, microbial fuel cell, membrane, wastewater soybean

Abstract

The objectives of this study was to determine the half maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) from four types of Parkia speciosa peel extracts (ethanol, methanol, n-hexane, and aqueous)  through DPPH free radical inhibition. First Parkia’s peel extract made by drying the Parkia’s peel that has been sorted, then crushed and mashed with a blender. Parkia’s powder then macerated for 3 replication using each type of solvent and then solvent evaporation was carried out using a rotary vacuum evaporator. The evaporated extract produced then tested for antioxidant activity using the IC50 method and phytochemical screening was performed to analyze the potential content of functional compounds. The results showed that all types of solvents dissolve alkaloid compounds (except water extract), flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and phenols. IC50 values produced from the four types of petai bark extract using methanol, ethanol, water, and n-hexane solvents sequentially were 76.92; 111; 136; and 201 ppm. Methanol extract had the lowest IC50 value of 76.92 ppm which resulted that the methanol extract of petai skin had a strong (active) antioxidant strength compared to others.Keywords: Antioxidant, Exctract, Parkia’s peel, IC50

Abstract

Wildfire risk analysis can be based on historical data of fire hotspot occurrence. Traditional wildfire risk analyses often rely on the use of administrative or grid polygons which has their own limitations. This research aims to develop a wildfire risk map by implementing DBSCAN clustering method to identify areas with wildfire risk based on historical data of wildfire hotspot occurrence points. The risk ranks for each area/cluster were then ranked/calculated based on the cluster density. The result showed that this method is capable of detecting major clusters/areas with their respective wildfire risk and that the majority of consequent fire occurrences were repeated inside the identified clusters/areas.Keywords: wildfire risk map; clustering; DBSCAN; cluster density;

Abstract

Occupational safety and health  is an important issue in an operational process, both in traditional and modern sectors. Prevention of work accidents can be done by knowing the risks that exist in a process, one of them is through Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) methods. In the batik industry, batik makers come into direct contact with materials containing hazardous chemicals and uncomfortable work positions. In addition, the craftsmen also do not care for the environment and do not use personal protective equipment. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors of occupational safety and health. This purpose also to use of personal protective equipment while working and identify potential hazards in the batik production process in the batik industry of Sekar Arum and Mahkota Laweyan. Factors causing occupational accidents include an unsafe batik environment, unsafe equipment, containing hazardous substances and unsafe work attitudes. In addition, the lack of orderly use of personal protective equipment in the form of boots, gloves and aprons. Based on the findings of the hazard, it is known that there are hazards with low category namely in the nyanting room, washing and drying rooms, and the waste management room with hazard percentage is 10,26 %,  medium category namely in the stamp room with hazard percentage is 30,77 % and high category namely the coloring room with hazard percentage is 38,46 %.

Abstract

The high-income countries are leading to higher consumption of plastic, despite prominent contribution to the global problem of plastic pollution. The high quantities of plastic wastes are extremely threatening to harm the environment and inhabitants due to mismanagement such as ingested in the fish and also harmful to human health (cancer is a major disease) if such consuming a fish. This review paper explored a solution to treating plastic waste to improve the sustainability of the environment. The use of recycled plastic wastes as a component has been found to be the most beneficial as it can be used to replace all solid components.

 Abstract. Banjir Kanal Barat is a river in the Garang watershed, Semarang City, Central Java, Indonesia. Its function is as a source of water for the community. The level of pollution in this river is already high. The purpose of this study is to provide advice to governments, communities and related stakeholders to realize integrated river management, and fisheries-based food security is achieved. This research method is: analyzing the water quality of the Banjir Kanal Barat river, and analyzing the amount of faecal and total coliform bacteria content in the Banjir Kanal Barat river, and analyzing how to overcome the decline in the quality of waters of the Banjir Kanal Barat river due to faecal and total coliform bacteria pollution. The results showed that the water quality at the research location was still in the quality standard. The content of coliform dan faecal bacteria at the study site exceeds the quality standard, this is due to the influence of domestic waste from households. The thing that needs to be done is counseling the existence of a clean and healthy life, especially for people who are still throwing domestic waste into the river. The existence of water purification equipment is also very necessary to overcome this problem. Water quality management can be done with policy analysis. Regulations related to water quality management can be analyzed and then given solutions and recommendations related to these rules so that policies can be taken that are sustainable, integrated, and coordinated between various parties in managing river water quality and food security. Keywords: food security, water quality, river, faecal coliform, total coliform

Abstract

Recently many batik industries owner have switched to using natural dyes because synthetic dyes in the long time have a negative impact on the environment. Natural dyes that are widely used are mahogany (Swietenia Mahagony L.) bark dyes. In the process of coloring batik fabric, there is stage of fixation. Fixation is the stage of binding the color with the fixator. There are three types of fixators used, namely alum (Al2(SO4)3.12H2O), calcium oxide (CaO) and ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) with certain concentrations. The owner of batik industries don't know yet the concentration of a strong and optimal fixator for binding natural dyes in batik fabric. The purpose of this study is to determine the type of strong fixator and optimal concentration of fixator for binding natural mahogany dyes on batik fabric. The owner of batik industries usually use an estimated concentration of 30 g / L to 100 g / L. In this study, the variables are 30 g / L, 60 g / L and 90 g / L in each type of fixator to test the color aging value. and color fastness to rub wet and dry. Judging from the value of R% (color aging) and color fastness test against wet and dry rubbing, it can be concluded that alum and calcium oxide are strong fixators that used with mahogany dyes and the most optimal concentration of alum and calcium oxide is 60 g / L.
