Optimization of Pb(II) Metal Adsorption on Pomelo Peel Biosorbent by Immobilization in Ca-Alginate

Industrial wastewater is a source of water pollution that dominates today. Wastewater is known to cause damage to the environment, health and threatens the availability of clean water. Industrial wastewater is a problem because it contains a lot of dangerous heavy metals, one of which is Lead or Pb(II).' Adsorption technology has become one of the most exciting technologies because of its good performance. Adsorption media currently popular for the study is adsorption using agricultural waste. One of the agricultural wastes that can be used as biosorbent is grapefruit peel (Citrus maxima). The functional groups in grapefruit peel are ether, pedophilic, carboxyl, carbonyl, and hydroxyl. These functional groups are essential in binding heavy metals from the aquatic environment. In this study, grapefruit peel was modified into a Ca-alginate immobilized biosorbent. The analyzes that will be carried out include the characteristics of the biosorbent, namely the water content and ash content test, the FTIR test to determine the functional groups contained in the biosorbent, the SEM-EDX test to assess the appearance of the biosorbent, as well as analysis of the initial and final levels of Pb(II). Based on the results obtained, the best percentage decrease in Pb(II) levels was obtained with operating conditions of pH 4.7, contact time of 90 minutes, and Pb(II) concentration of 100 mg/L with a percentage decrease in Pb(II) levels of 89%

Implementation of Ambon Banana Peel (Musa Paradisiaca) as Foaming Agent of Banana Fruitghurt using Foam Mat Drying Method

Fruitghurt is a product of lactic acid fermentation, namely L. bulgaricus and S. Thermopillus in an acidic state enriched by nutrients from fruit such as Ambon banana but has a short shelf life. Bananas have a role as an additional nutrient in the form of glucose which then becomes a nutrient for lactic acid bacteria. Foam mat drying itself is a drying method that is better than other types of drying because it does not require large production costs and protects the structure of the material through the formation of foam. Application of foam mat drying on fruitghurt using Ambon banana peel extract as a foaming agent is expected to increase the shelf life of fruitghurt as well as an alternative foaming agent derived from vegetable protein Ambon banana peel contains a protein content of about 0.64% when bananas experience a good level of maturity. In the manufacture of fruitghurt powder, the research method used is Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with variables changing the concentration of banana peel extract as a foaming agent, the concentration of maltodextrin as a binder and mixing time. The resulting fruitghurt powder will be analyzed for water content, total acid analysis and pH analysis. The research data were processed using minitab 19 software. The best fruitghurt powder results were found in the 9th variable, namely the minimase variable, where the optimum conditions were banana peel extract concentration of 2.38 ml, maltodextrin concentration of 30 grams and stirring time of 20 minutes. Fruitghurt variable 9 has a pH of 5 after drying which is in accordance with SNI 01-2981-2009, water content is 0.64% and total acid is 1.08

Optimization of Liquid Soap Preparation Formula with the Addition of Black Rice (Oryza Sativa L. Indica) Extract as Anti-Radical Free based Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)

An imbalance in the body's number of antioxidants and free radicals can cause oxidative stress and trigger various degenerative diseases (WHO, 2016). One way to prevent free radicals from entering the body is to bathe with soap. Black rice extract can be an antioxidant in soap because it contains anthocyanin pigments and has high bioactive compounds (Chakuton et al., 2012). Selection of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) as a raw material for soap because it has a high lauric acid content and is helpful for moisturizing and smoothing the skin (Afrozi et al., 2021). This study aimed to analyze the quality of liquid soap from the hydrolyzed Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) and the effect of using bases KOH, NH4OH, and black rice extract accompanied by varying base concentrations, time, and temperature treatments. The independent variables for process optimization were the concentration of KOH: NH4OH (30:70, 50:50, 70:30)%, stirring time (65, 85, 105) minutes, and operating temperature (60, 75, 90) °C. Based on the results obtained, the optimum level of FFA (resulting in a small FFA%) was obtained with the minimized variable conditions, namely using a concentration of 16,4% KOH, and an operating temperature of 49,7 °C, a stirring time of 51.4 minutes, and composite desirability of 0,895897

Reducing COD Levels of Batik Waste Using Chicken Egg Shells and Tea Dregs

In the last ten years, the batik industry has experienced very rapid growth. This provides benefits but also has adverse effects on humans and the environment because the sector generates waste. Batik liquid waste contains chemical compounds that can increase the COD value. Alternative treatment of liquid waste from batik factories is the biosorption process using biosorbent from chicken egg shells and tea dregs. This study aimed to investigate the effect of variations in the biosorbent ratio, contact time, and initial pH of the sample on changes in COD. In this study, the acid activation method was used to increase the ability of the biosorbent to absorb the COD content in the batik industry wastewater. This research method uses the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) method, where the biosorbent made is then contacted with batik wastewater to determine the decrease in COD levels contained in it. The critical value was achieved when the material ratio was 12.3270 grams of eggshell, with a contact time of 47.1281 at a pH of 1.71281. The best results were obtained in sample 5 with a biosorbent ratio of 11.25:3.75, contact time of 50 minutes, and initial pH 2 with a decrease in COD levels of 77%

THE EFFECT OF SURFACTANT, TIME AND SPEED OF STIRRING IN THE EMULSIFICATION PROCESS OF SOYBEAN OIL IN WATER

Homogenization is the process of uniform particle size in an effort to maintain the stability of a mixture which is formed from 2 incompatible phases or so-called emulsion.Emulsion is a complex system consisting of a liquid phase which is spread over another immiscible liquid phase which is usually through mechanical shear. All emulsions are thermodynamically unstable due to contact between oil and water molecules. However, emulsions can be stabilized rapidly in the presence of emulsifying or thickening agents such as Tween 20 and Tween 80. Apart from the addition of emulsion stabilizing surfactants, the speed of stirring also has an effect in stabilizing the emulsion. This research was conducted to determine the effect of stirring speed and addition of surfactants Tween 20 and Tween 80 on the stability of soybean oil emulsion. The results of density, viscosity, stability, and microscopic tests showed that the emulsion was treated with the addition of tween 80 with a stirring speed of 30
