This study aims to isolate the secondary metabolite compound n-hexane extract from the stem bark of M. oleifera moringa and analyze its toxicity activity using the brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT) method. This study aims to isolate the secondary…
SUMMARY Rubber fruit shell (Hevea brasiliensis) is a part of rubber fruit which is not widely used, so it only becomes waste in rubber producing areas. Rubber fruit shell (CBK) has a chemical composition of cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose as a carbon source that has the potential to be used as an adsorbent. In this study, chemical activation of CBK was carried out using ZnCl2 and physical…
SUMMARY Nanoparticles are particles that measure between 1-100 nanometers. In nanotechnology, a particle is defined as a small object that behaves as a unit towards its properties and transport. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles can be done by biosynthesis method using plants known as reductant, one of the plants that can be used is rubber leaf (Hevea brasiliensis). Biosynthesis has been adopt…
SUMMARY Manganese oxide is one of the metal oxides that has been used as a catalyst to degrade various organic wastes. Among manganese oxide catalysts, manganese oxide MnO (manganosite) has not been widely studied and synthesized. In this study using bentonite as a support which aims to increase the catalytic activity of the MnO composite. This study aims to synthesize MnO-bentonite composites…
SUMMARY Fly ash Coal is one of the potential wastes as a raw material in the manufacture of synthetic zeolite. Use Fly ash coal in zeolite synthesis due to the high content of SiO2 and Al2O3 in fly ash coal. The aim of this study was to synthesize zeolite A from coal fly ash using the alkaline hydrothermal fusion method with variations in synthesis time for 5 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours and t…
SUMMARY Photocatalysis is one of the alternative methods for treatment of textile waste. The waste from this industry causes majorenvironmental problem. One of the synthetic dyes that is often used in the textile industry is methylene blue dye. The coloring process in textiles uses synthetic dyes in large enough quantities and is very stable so that it is difficult to degrade naturally. It is …
