ABSTRACT Indonesia is one of the countries that rely on textile industries as an export commodity. Textile industries have an important role in offering employment, decrease unemployment, increase income tax, and escalate foreign export exchanges. Either domestic or international demands of Indonesia’s textile have been growing year by year so that the increasing of Indonesia’s textile…
ABSTRACT BPS recorded the export value of national textile products reached US$ 13.22 billion in 2018 and increased to US$ 15.73 in 2019. The problem that later arises was the textile waste generated by those industries. One of the methods for treating textile dye waste is the photocatalytic. The catalyst used in this study is the Covalent Triazine Framework (CTF), while the radiation come…
ABSTRACT Nanocitosan research continues to be developed using easy and simple methods. The content of chitosan in shrimp shells is used as raw material for the synthesis of nanocitosan. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of variations in the concentration of chitosan and the ratio of chitosan solution to sodium tripolyphosphate (NaTPP) on the size of the nanocitosan prod…
ABSTRACT Nanochitosan is widely developed as a drug delivery agent. Particles at the nanometer scale have unique physical properties compared to particles at larger sizes, especially in improving the delivery quality of drug compounds. The study aims to synthesis nanochitosan using the ionic gelation method and determined the effect of variations in the concentration of formic acid and con…
ABSTRACT Industrial waste of dried shrimp shells contains chitin which can be used as raw material for chitosan synthesis. Along with the development of technology, product with using chitosan continues to be developed by physically modifying chitosan into nanochitosan so that it has a wider utilization than chitosan. This study was aimed to synthesize nanocitosan using the ionic gelation …
ABSTRACT The decline in fossil fuel sources has prompted research into finding renewable fuels. Efforts are currently being made to find alternative energy sources that have high efficiency and environmental friendly are bio-oil from empty fruit bunches (EFB) and tire waste. Treatment of raw materials, variations in ratios, temperature, chemical and physical characteristics aims to produce…
ABSTRACT Adsorption is a dye absorption process using various adsorbents. Dye waste produced by industry can pollute the environment because it is dangerous and toxic. Hydroxyapatite is a compound composed of calcium, phosphate, oxygen and hydrogen. This study uses calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite with Ca / P of more / less than 1.67 as the adsorption medium. Utilization of the adsorption …
ABSTRACT Nanocitosan is a physical modification of chitosan by reducing the size of chitosan to nano size. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of variations in the concentration of chitosan and the volume ratio between chitosan solution and NaTPP solution to the size of the nanocitosan that has been produced and to determine the characteristics of nanocitosan with Part…
Manganese oxides plays a major role in the mobility and bioavailability of environmental contaminants, such as heavy metals and toxic organic molecules, and may be strongly regulated by manganese oxides. Manganese oxides are thought to be the strongest, naturally occurring oxidants and oxidize a large variety of organic substrates. This thesis focused on the synthesis of tunnel-type manganese o…
Hydrogen gas which is used as a fuel to generate electricity can be produced by water splitting through a photoelectrochemical reaction process. The synthesis of TiO2/CoS composites was carried out to form p-n junction between TiO2 and CoS which prevents electron-hole recombination to increase the photoelectrochemical activity of TiO2. In this research, thin film TiO2/CoS composites were synthe…
Zeolite is a versatile material, it can be applied in industrial and environmental fields, either as an adsorbent, catalyst or catalyst support, ion exchange or as a membrane filler. Zeolite sodalite (SOD) which has been converted from Maredan natural clay raw material still has low crystallinity and has not been applied for specific purposes. This study aimed to obtain a zeolite sodalite …
The sugarcane bagasse (SC) waste is a low cost adsorbant and has been reported as a highly potential adsorbent. The waste was chemically activated by NaOH to increase its surface area and to modify its structure and pore size. The sugarcane baggase was first activated with solution of NaOH (10 g SC in 100 ml of 1 g NaOH) referred to as ATAN, which was then impregnated with different solution of…
The crude polar extract of mangosteen pericarp not only has a relatively high antioxidant activity (55±4) μg/mL, but also has high cytotoxicity (16±0.5 μg/mL). This high cytotoxicity presumably is caused by the presence of complex cytotoxic compounds from the mangosteen pericarp. To obtain a non-toxic extract preparation with high antioxidant activity, crude polar 50% ethanol extracts of ma…
Three isolates of LBKURCC37, LBKURCC38, and LBKURCC39, were fungi isolated and purified from peat soils originating from secondary forests in the Makmur Area of the Giam Siak Kecil Bukit Batu Nature Reserve (CAGSKBB), Riau. Soil samples are taken from the CAGSKBB core area. The results of previous studies found that LBKURCC39 produced chitinase in the highest amount above the chitinase activity…
