DEGRADASI SENYAWA 2,4 (DIKLOROFENOKSI) ASAM ASETAT DALAM PESTISIDA SIDAMIN 865 AS SECARA FOTOLISIS DENGAN PENAMBAHAN TiO2-ANATASE

ABSTRACT Degradation of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D) in Sidamin 865 AS pesticides had been carried out by photolysis with adding anatase-TiO2. Photolysis method were performed using an irradiation of UV-light at λ 365 nm, 10 W. The degradation of 20 mg/L 2,4-D without addition of anatase-TiO2 was 6.88% within 90 minutes treatment. Degradation of 20 mg/L 2,4-D by photolysis with addition of 0.1000 g anatase-TiO2, degradation was 31.55% within 90 minutes irradiation without stirring and it was 95.42% within 90 minutes irradiation with stirring. Keywords : photolysis, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, anatase-TiO2

DEGRADASI ZAT WARNA SUDAN I SECARA SONOLISIS DAN FOTOLISIS DENGAN PENAMBAHAN TiO2-ANATASE

 ABSTRACT Degradation of Sudan I dye had been done with sonolysis and photolysis by adding anatase-TiO2.  Sonolysis method were performed using an ultrasound with frequency  of 45 kHz. Photolysis method were performed using an irradiation of UV light with λ = 359 nm.  Degradation of 4 mg/L Sudan I with addition of 0.1000 g anatase-TiO2 at pH = 7.0, temperature 25 ± 1°C, percentage of degradation 64.04% within 180 minutes sonolysis.  Degradation of 4 mg/L Sudan I using photolysis with addition of 0.1000 g anatase-TiO2 at pH = 7.0 and percentage of degradation 100% within 180 minutes photolysis. Degradation of 4 mg/L Sudan I using sonolysis and photolysis  simultaneously with addition of 0.1000 g anatase-TiO2 at pH = 7.0 and percentage of degradation 94.04% within 180 minutes treatment.   Keywords : degradation, sonolysis, photolysis, Sudan I, anatase-TiO2

Impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on physical fitness, physical activity, and health-related quality of life of patients with resectable esophageal cancer.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radical surgery is the standard treatment for patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Japan. However, some adverse events associated with NAC may result in a decrease in physical fitness that may influence the patient's ability to tolerate surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of NAC on physical fitness, physical activity, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with ESCC
