Sintesis Zeolit A pada suhu ruang untuk formula alternatif Detergent Builder

Zeolit Linde Tipe A (LTA) atau zeolit A adalah zeolit sintesis komersial pertama yang dipublikasikan. Tersusun atas aluminium, silikon dan oksigen yang membentuk struktur tetrahedral. Zeolit A ini merupakan zeolit sintesis universal di bidang detergen dan water softeners (menurunkan kesadahan air) karena kapasitas penukar ion atau adsorpsinya yang baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mensintesis zeolit A pada suhu ruang menggunakan alumunium foil sebagai sumber alumina dan silika gel sebagai sumber silika, serta untuk mengetahui sifat adsorpsinya terhadap Mg2+ pada air sadah yang akan diaplikasikan sebagai detergent builder. Zeolit A disintesis menggunakan bahan utama aluminium foil, silika gel, dan NaOH dengan metode non hidrotermal yaitu pada suhu ruang (24 - 27 oC) dalam variasi waktu aging 3, 10 dan 20 hari dengan komposisi mol AL = 0,55; Si = 1; Na = 6; H2O = 150. Zeolit A hasil sintesis dikarakterisasi menggunakan instrumen XRD. Hasil karakterisasi XRD menunjukkan bahwa waktu aging yang dipakai menghasilkan 2 fasa zeolit, yaitu modernit dan zeolit A (LTA). Pada waktu yang terlama lebih didominasi perolehan zeolit A disbanding zeolit MOR. Sementara pada waktu tersingkat MOR lebih dominan daripada zeolit A. Selanjutnya zeolit yang dominan LTA diaplikasikan sebagai formula detergent builder dan sebagai adsorben untuk menurunkan kesadahan Mg2+ pada air sadah. Hasil uji penampilan fisik, detergen yang dihasilkan berwujud gel sesuai dengan detergen komerisal sebagai pembanding. Pada hasil uji kriteria pH, seluruh formula detergen zeolit memiliki nilai pH yang telah memenuhi syarat mutu SNI 4075-1:2017/Amd.1:2020. Pada hasil uji daya bersih formula detergen zeolit 20 hari menghasilkan daya bersih yang paling tinggi sebesar 90,19%. Pada hasil uji kemampuan berbusa semua formulasi detergen zeolit memiliki kriteria baik dan memenuhi syarat mutu, dengan tinggi busa rata-rata 2,65 cm sesuai dengan detergen komersial sebagai pembanding

Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode survey dan data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan Anova dan Uji Duncan, kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif. Pengambilan data vegetasi mangrove menggunakan metode transek kuadrat, kemudian sampling parameter perairan dan substrat. Penentuan stasiun penelitian berdasarkan jenis mangrove yang ada di tempat itu. Hasil penelitian ditemukan sebanyak 3 spesies mangrove pada 3 stasiun penelitian. Jenis mangrove yang ditemukan yaitu Sonneratia caseolaris, Rhizopora apiculata dan Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, dengan jenis yang mendominasi adalah Sonneratia caseolaris. Indeks keanekaragaman di lokasi penelitian berkisar antara 0 - 1, menunjukkan kestabilan ekosistem rendah. Tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan untuk konsentrasi N-Total dan P-Total. Struktur komunitas mangrove tidak berpengaruh terhadap perbedaan konsentrasi nitrogen dan fosfor di perairn Hutan Sancang

Physiological Responses, Performance, Behaviour, and Welfare of Garut Sheep Cared using Semi-Intensive System in Indonesia

Sheep farming in Indonesia still relies on the intensive system which is very labor-intensive, movement restrictions, and reduced quantity of sheep can be kept, developed countries, on the other hand, have evolved a semi-intensive system that may minimize the number of staff while still providing welfare to the sheep. This study aimed to compare the performance, physiological responses, behavior, and welfare of reared Garut sheep in semi-intensive management with outdoor pen and full indoor pen treatments, employing a T-test experimental design using ten replicates (n=10). This experiment used 20 ewes sheep (one-year-old) with an average body weight of 18.74±2.53 kg. This experiment found no difference in dry matter intake (gram/head/day) or average daily gain (gram/head/day) between both treatments (P0.05). When compared to ewes with full indoor pen, ewes with access to outdoor pen had better physiological status especially heart rate and respiratory rate, particularly in the morning and afternoon (P0.05). The ratio of blood N/L for ewes with an outdoor pen showed better results (P0.05), and the rearing environment also did not show any difference nor induce stress on livestock with access to outdoor pen (P0.05). Ewes' welfare increases and they become more active after being provided access to outdoor pen. In conclusion, a semi-intensive system with an outside enclosure enhances Garut ewes' performance while also improving their physiological health and welfare index fulfillment. This approach has to be promoted throughout Indonesia for better farming management
