Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) are plantation waste that has the potential to be used as activated carbon. The main component of OPEFB is lignocellulosic which can be a source of activated carbon and utilized for Pb2+ ion adsorption. The use of activated carbon activated by NaOH still requires optimization, especially in determining the contact time and optimum adsorption pH. This study aims to determine the effect of pH and contact time on the adsorption of Pb2+ and to determine the efficiency of the adsorbent on the adsorption of Pb2+. In this study, activated carbon from OPEFB was carbonized at 300oC for 1 hour, followed by activation using NaOH 0.5%. The results showed that the use of pH 5 and a contact time of 90 minutes had a relatively higher Pb2+ adsorption than other conditions. However, the use of variations in pH and contact time had no significant effect on the adsorption of Pb2+ ions. Adsorbents with variations in pH 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 were able to absorb Pb2+ of 99.73%, 99.86%, 99.74%, 99.79%, and 99.80%, respectively. Adsorbents with variations in contact time of 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 minutes were able to absorb Pb2+ of 99.28%, 99.40%, 99.48%, 99.44%, and 99.48%, respectively.

Cellulose-based materials are attractive candidates for the fabrication of sustainable and eco-friendly slow-release fertilizers. The ability of the cellulose structure to be modified and functionalized makes it promising as a scaffold backbone in the development of advanced agricultural materials. In this review, different synthesis techniques of cellulose-based slow-release fertilizers are discussed. Crucial parameters in the design of the slow-release fertilizers (i.e., slow-release behavior, water retention properties, and biodegradability) are presented. The applications of cellulose-based fertilizers in enhancing the growth of agricultural and horticultural commodities are provided. To date, solution polymerization is more widely employed in the preparation of cellulose-based slow-release fertilizers due to its low cost and simple operation, with no solvent recovery required. Esterification tends to be the most typical reaction during the synthesis of the fertilizers because of its high substrate solubility and more straightforward product purification. This review can be used as a reference to develop other efficient cellulose-based slow-release fertilizers that can be utilized to delay the release of fertilizers and prevent the overuse of fertilizers.

Preparation of calcium compounds such as calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, and calcium oxide from chicken eggshells can be done through conventional methods that are cheaper and more practical, such as the sol-gel hydrolysis method and the coprecipitation method. In this study, the synthesis of calcium compounds from domestic chicken eggshells was carried out using two methods: the coprecipitation method and sol-gel method. Coprecipitation method consists of acid hydrolysis and alkaline hydrolysis. Sol-gel method consists of modification I and modification II. The AAS results showed that the calcium content from the hydrolysis of acids, alkaline, sol-gel modification I, and sol-gel modification II: 14.50%, 6.64%, 6.68%, and 9.93%, respectively. The FTIR showed that calcium compounds have four characteristic absorption bands, including O–H (3641.60 and 3448.72 cm-1) derived from Ca(OH)2 and H2O products, C=O (2981.95 - 1799 cm-1), and C–O (1448.54 – 874.68 cm-1) both of which from carbonate ions (CO3-) in CaCO3 both from eggshell and from the resulting calcium compounds, and Ca-O (711.73 cm-1) derived from CaO products. The results showed that the modification ll sol-gel method was the best because calcium compounds consisting of CaCO3, Ca(OH)2, and CaO were produced in a smooth texture, white color, and with the highest calcium content compared to other methods.

Conventional plastic has become a concern because it is a problem for the environment. Bioplastics made from starch and natural polymers such as cellulose from coconut fiber can be a solution to these plastic problems. This study aims to synthesize and characterize bioplastics made from durian seed starch with sorbitol as a plasticizer and coconut coir cellulose as a filler. This research consisted of several stages of the procedure including the extraction of durian seed starch, isolation of coco coir cellulose, synthesis of bioplastics, and characterization of bioplastics. Bioplastics are made by the melt intercalation method. The resulting bioplastics were characterized by FTIR and mechanical tests (elastic modulus and tensile strength). In this study, the starch produced was characterized by a yellowish-white color and a rough texture with a yield of 10.95%. Before being used as a bioplastic filler, the coconut coir powder was bleached using H2O2 in a base condition to reduce the presence of lignin and hemicellulose. Based on the FTIR spectrum, the bleaching process was indicated by a decrease in the intensity of the absorption peak at wavenumbers of 1246 cm-1 and 1642 cm-1 which were characteristic absorptions for lignin and hemicellulose. The results of the mechanical test showed that the bioplastic composition with the highest tensile strength and modulus of elasticity was owned by bioplastic with 4% cellulose, namely 7.28 MPa and 0.73 MPa.

Tofu pulp which generally becomes waste can be used as a source of protein concentrate. Protein concentrates from tofu pulp have been obtained at various ratios of tofu pulp: ammonium sulfate and ammonium sulfate salt concentration. The research was conducted to obtain the highest protein yield and content of tofu pulp protein concentrate. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with the independent variable being the ratio of tofu pulp filtrate: ammonium sulfate (1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, and 1:7 (v/v)) and concentrations of ammonium sulfate (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80%), while the dependent variables were the yield of protein concentrate and protein content. Production of protein concentrate used the salting-out method with ammonium sulfate salt. The ratio of tofu pulp: ammonium sulfate 70% obtained the best ratio of 1:5 with a yield of 41.6% and protein content of 84.58%. Tofu pulp as industrial waste can be a potential source of protein concentrate because it has a high protein content.

Wastewater is the residue from a business and or activity in the form of liquid. One of the chemical compounds that cause pollution is nitrite. The nitrite level in wastewater is a key parameter in determining water quality because of its toxicity. The standard method for nitrite analysis refers to SNI 06-6989.9-2004 using sulfanilic acid and N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (NED) reagents. Linearity, instrument detection limit (LDI) and quantification detection limit (LOQ), precision, accuracy, and calculation of measurement uncertainty estimation are some of the verification parameters that were tested. The regression curve's results showed that the correlation value (r) = 0.9998, the instrument detection limit value of 0.0014 mg/L, the quantitation limit value of 0.0035 mg/L, the precision value (%SBR) of 1.30 percent, the accuracy value is in the range (90-100)% and the relative uncertainty of 5.88 %. The verification results suggested that the UV-Visible spectrophotometer-based nitrite test technique in wastewater had passed the acceptance requirements and may be utilized for routine laboratory analysis.

This research was conducted by making VCO-based liquid soap with the addition of ethanol extract from Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera). The purpose of this research was to determine the mass ratio of ethanol extracts of Moringa leaves and Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) which produces soap with the highest antibacterial activity against tested bacteria. The other purpose is to determine the effect of the mass ratio against the viscosity of liquid soap. The research design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with the independent variables being the mass ratio of Moringa leaf ethanol extract and VCO which consists of five levels of 0:75 (F1), 1.5:73.5 (F2), 3:72(F3), and 4.5:70.5(F4) (w/w). The soap produced was tested for antibacterial activity againts Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus epidermidis using agar diffusion method as well as viscosity tests. The results showed that the antibacterial activity of liquid soap tends to be higher with increasing levels of ethanol extract of Moringa leaves. The liquid soap formula with the ratio of Moringa leaf ethanol extract: VCO of 3:72 (w/w) (Formula F3) had relatively higher antibacterial activity against the three tested bacteria. The inhibition zones against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus epidermidis were 22.302 mm, 33.230 mm, and 36.490 mm, respectively, while the viscosity value of liquid soap was 47.433 cP.

Parigi Moutong District is one of the regencies in Central Sulawesi province with the highest number of illegal mining activities. Unlicensed mining activities generally use mercury as an extracting agent and gold processing waste is generally disposed of in rivers or other water bodies. The purpose of this study was to analyze the levels of heavy metal mercury (Hg) in water bodies, sediments, and marine biota in gold mining areas in Parigi Moutong District. The sampling method was carried out by random sampling method, while the analysis of mercury content in samples of river water, sediment, and biota was carried out using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). From the results of the study, it was found that mercury levels in water and sediment samples were still below the quality standard value which were 0.001 mg/Kg and 0.13 mg/Kg, respectively, while the mercury levels in all biota samples had exceeded the quality standard values (0.03 mg/Kg). This indicates that mercury has accumulated in the food chain in the water near the mine site.
