Adsorption of Bismarck Brown R Dyes Using Mesoporous Silica MCM-48
No full textThe adsorption of Bismarck Brown R (BBR) dye has been conducted using mesoporous silica (MCM-48). We synthesized the adsorbent using Ludox HS-40 as a silica source and surfactants of Cetyl Trimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) and Triton X-100. The characterization of MCM-48 was performed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Various contact times were used to study the adsorption kinetics, and concentrations were used to study the adsorption isotherm. The optimum contact time of Bismarck Brown R dye was 120 minutes, and the adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order model. Based on the equation Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms, the adsorption capacity values of each are obtained 158.7301 mg g-1 and 4.3601 mg g-1. Our results showed that the material can be used as a new dye adsorbent

Utilization of Aur-Aur Grass as A Natural Hand Sanitizer in Order To Prevent The Spread of The Covid-19 Virus
Full text linkIndonesia is currently amid a Covid-19 virus pandemic. One of the efforts that can be done to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus is to wash your hands with soap, or you can use a hand sanitizer. However, hand sanitizers are mostly made of chemicals, many people feel side effects including dry skin, dermatitis, and irritation. This research aims to make hand sanitizer products made from natural ingredients, namely from extracts of aur-aur grass (Commelina diffusa Burm F.). Phytochemical tests showed that aur-aur grass contained 5,188.73 ppm flavonoid compounds, 8,673.60 ppm total phenol (tannin), and 466.30 ppm alkaloids. The manufacture of hand sanitizers was carried out in four variations with each sample having aur-aur extract levels of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. Of the existing hand sanitizer products, all of them have a pH of ±5 and get good responses from satisfaction values above 80%. Hand sanitizer products also can inhibit bacterial growth. The increase in extract levels in the hand sanitizer is directly proportional to the ability to inhibit bacteria, as shown by sample D which has an average inhibition zone of 9.77 mm.

A Brief Review on Fabrication of Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode: Materials and Techniques
Full text linkScreen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) is one of the most interesting designs to combine a working (from carbon based material), reference, and counter electrode in a single-printed substrate. SPCE has been used in many electrochemical measurements due to its advantages for analysis in microscale. This paper summarises the main information about SPCE fabrication from the material and fabrication technique aspect on the flat substrate based on the work that has been published in the last 30 years. The success of SPCE fabrication is highly dependent on the composition of conductive ink which consists of conductive materials, binder, and solvents; substrate; and fabrication techniques. Among the carbon-based materials, the most widely used for SPCE fabrications are graphite, graphene, and carbon nanotubes. The frequent binder used are polymer-based materials such as polystyrene, polyaniline, poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene:polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), and polyvinyl chloride. The solvents used for SPCE fabrication are varied including water and various organic solvents. The main characteristics of the SPCE substrate should be inert in order to avoid any interferences during electrochemical measurements. The screen printing and inkjet printing technique are preferred for SPCE fabrication due to easy fabrication and the possibility for mass production of SPCE
Chemical Analysis of Rice from Converted-to-Organic Paddy Field in Lombok Island
Full text linkChemical analysis has been undertaken to investigate the nutrients compositions and the presence of residual pesticides from rice cultivated from converted-to-organic paddy fields in Lombok Island. The nutrients being investigated were macronutrients (carbohydrates, fat, and proteins), micronutrients (beta-carotene), metal ions, and minerals, whereas pesticides being investigated were organo-chlorides residues such as endrin, delta-BHC, dieldrin, etc. The chemical analysis results were compared to those from rice cultivated from conventional farming, which uses chemical pesticides. It was revealed that there is no difference in the nutrients compositions of rice produced from converted-to-organic paddy fields to those from conventional farming. Moreover, it was shown that both rice samples from converted-to-organic and conventional farming paddy fields have no detectable residual pesticides. This finding suggests that the absence of residual pesticides from rice samples does not necessarily correspond to the application of organic farming in the converted-to-organic land. There is not robust evidence that the application of organic alters the nutrient composition of rice. This result also underlines the need to further investigate the real benefits of organic rice farming products in terms of nutritional composition and safety

Full text linkIn recent years gallic acid has been developed as an AuCl4- adsorbent-reducing agent. In this research, gallic acid was modified with magnetite by sonochemical method (GA-Fe3O4), and its effectiveness as an AuCl4- adsorbent was studied. GA-Fe3O4 was synthesized through one-stage (GA-Fe3O4-SK1) and two-stage (GA-Fe3O4-SK2) methods. The effectiveness of GA-Fe3O4 was studied through optimization studies on pH, time, kinetics, and isotherm adsorption of AuCl4-. The adsorption method used was the batch method in the pH range 2-7. While the kinetics model used was the Lagergren and Ho kinetics model. The adsorption isotherm model used was the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm model. The results showed that the optimum pH conditions for adsorption of AuCl4- on GA-Fe3O4 occurred at pH 3. Adsorption of AuCl4- on GA-Fe3O4-SK1 and GA-Fe3O4-SK2 both followed the Ho kinetic model, while the adsorption isotherm followed the Freundlich isotherm model with values KF were 0.041 and 0.034 mol/g respectively
