The purpose of this study was to determine the adsorption efficiency, determine the adsorption isotherm and kinetics model as well as…
SUMMARY I vii Raw clay is one of the low-cost and earliest adsorbent employed in removing organic and inorganic contaminants in water. It is because of its large spesific surface area, the high thermal stability, and the high cation exchange capacity. The purpose of this research were to determine the methylene blue adsorption parameters for stiring speed and temperature using Maredan raw cla…
SUMMARY Diplazium esculentum is a species of fern belonging to the Athyriaceae family which can be used as a medicinal plant, one of which is suspected of being a potential inhibitor of α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes. This study aims to determine the relationship between the total flavonoids and phenolics content in the ethyl acetate and water extract of D. esculentum and their ability …
SUMMARY The high composition of fiber and carbon compounds (lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose) in rubber fruit shells 98.99%, can be used to make activated charcoal. In this study physical activation was carried out on rubber fruit shells activated with 10% KOH with temperature (400; 500; 600)oC and time (15; 30; 45) minutes. This study aims to improve the character of the activated charcoal …
SUMMARY Moringa oleifera is a plant that belongs to the Moringaceae family. This plant grows quickly and its resistant to drought, therefore it can grow in tropical, subtropical and arid regions. This study aims to isolate, characterize the pure compounds obtained from the methanol extract of M. oleifera stem bark and analyze its toxicity using the BSLT method. Isolation was carried out using …
SUMMARY Alstonia scholaris is known in Indonesia as pulai. This plant belongs to the Apocynaceae family and it is widespread in the tropical regions of Africa and Asia. Alstonia scholaris (L.) R.Br., commonly called blackboard tree, devil tree in South and Southeast Asia.This plant is widely used in traditional medicine, especially in India and Southeast Asia, including India. Various Indian t…
ABSTRACT Used oil waste has become one of the environmental issues that needs to be swiftly and accurately addressed. Used oil contains considerable energy and still holds potential as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. One of the methods for processing used oil involves the acid and clay technique. This study focuses on purification using the acid and clay method, with variations in zeol…
ABSTRACT The growth of the population leads to an increase in population mobility and the number of vehicles. The rise in motorized transportation results in an increasing demand for motor vehicle lubricating oil. The increased need for oil is directly proportional to the waste produced, namely used oil. One of the technologies that can be utilized in processing used oil is purification, as it…
ABSTRACT Microplastics are generally defined as synthetic polymers that are under 5 mm in size. Microplastics that accumulate in water will have a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the abundance and types of microplastics in water and digestive organs in the Sail River, Pekanbaru. The Sail River is a tributary that will empty into the Siak River. High activity a…
ABSTRACT The growth of the population in Pekanbaru city each year has led to an increase in the number of motor vehicles, resulting in a rise in noise intensity. The aim of this research is to measure and map the noise level during peak hours at the intersection of Kaharuddin Nasution Street and Soekarno Hatta Street in Pekanbaru city, analyze the relationship between the number of vehicles an…

SUMMARY Depression is a psychological illness that can occur in humans regardless of gender, age, and background. Areca nut (Areca catechu L.) has been studied for its potential as an in vivo antidepressant drug using the FST (Forced Swim Test) method or forced swimming test in single animal trials. The purpose of this study was to determine the antidepressant activity of young areca seed meth…
SUMMARY Durian seeds (Durio zibethinus) have an active component in the form of protein and starch which can act as coagulant agent. This study aims to prepare, characterize and determine the best method for preparing durian seed biocoagulant using dry mil (DM) and wet mill (WM) method in removing color, odor, turbidity, TSS and TDS of peat water. Characterization of biocoagulant included…
SUMMARY Endophytes are microorganisms that live within plant tissue without causing damage to the host. Endophytic microorganism promotes plant growth and is well-known as a source of novel bioactive secondary metabolites which potential as a candidate of antimicrobial, antiinsects, anticancer and other properties. Botryosphaeria rhodina is an endophytic fungus isolated from the roots of mangr…
SUMMARY Depression is a mental disorder caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters which can be treated with antidepressants.
