Optimasi Adsorpsi Kompetitif Pewarna Biru Metilena dan Metil Oranye Menggunakan Adsorben Zeolit Alam Ende - Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT)
No full textWaste from the textile industry is considered as a potential source of environmental pollution, especially water because it contains dangerous dyes. In this research, natural zeolite is used as an effective and efficient alternative adsorbent to overcome pollution caused by methylene blue and methyl orange dyes. Activation of natural zeolite was carried out with 3 M HCl solution and was characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). While the methylene blue and methyl orange adsorption processes were studied in variations in the weight of the adsorbent, contact time, and pH. The concentration of dyes left in the solution was observed with Spectrophotometer UV-Vis. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of natural zeolite in absorbing methylene blue was 21.189 mg/g and methyl orange was 18.208 mg/g. The optimum conditions of methylene blue and methyl orange adsorption are achieved with successive adsorbent weights 0.3 g and 0,4 g, successive contact times are 60 minutes and 90 minutes, and successive pH are 6 and 2 respectively. The adsorbent weight factor, contact time, and pH have an effect on the adsorption of methylene blue and methyl orange by natural zeolite from Ende
Variasi Jarak Antar Layer Bentonit Pada Pembuatan Nanokomposit Pla-Bentonit Sebagai Kemasan Makanan
Get PDFIn this study, bentonite was used as a filler in the synthesis of polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposite. The mechanical property of PLA-Bentonite nanocomposite was treated using two different surfactants, namely octadecyl amine (ODA) and trimethyl stearyl ammonium chloride (TSC) at two different concentration (20 mmol and 40 mmol). The treatments of ODA and TSC in the matrix with regards to the basal spacing of bentonite stacks measured by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. The results showed a significant increase in basal spacing was obtained when TSC 40 was applied for treatment. Data of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) suggested that this increase was caused by the incorporation of surfactant into the bentonite stacks. Most of the PLA-Bentonite nanocomposite can form intercalation structure, while a sample containing TSC 40 formed exfoliation structure. This exfoliation structure resulted in a film with the best tensile strength and water vapor permeability compared to the others. The film containing TSC 40 showed the lowest reduction in water activity, almost similar to the bread sample wrapped using conventional plastic. The bread wrapped with TSC 40 film was not grown by fungi as opposed to the conventional plastic, showing the potential of the nanocomposite film as food packaging

Get PDFPhotoreduction of carbon dioxide is one of the promising method to reduce green house gas emission. Carbon dioxide can be converted into organic chemical that has higher economic value by utilizing light energy. One of the favorable product is formic acid which is can be used as hydrogen-carrier. For this process, photocatalyst plays important role as it can increase the rate of reaction and as well as the selectivity as such more desirable product can be produced. The objective of present study is to develop photocatalyst which can significantly catalyze the photoreduction process of CO2 to form formic acid. Zinc titanate doped with aluminium is used as the base photocatalyst. Photoreduction process is held in room condition using three 2800 lm lamp. Qualitative analysis of the product is done by silver solid test and acidity test while quantitative analysis is done by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) test. The silver solid test results confirm that formic acid is formed during process. Based on acidity profile data, anthocyanin as photosensitizer could increase higher acidity in the mixture than melanin. However, the concentration of formic acid in the solution is still very low so that it cannot be detected by HPLC
