Three-layer Aurivillius compound bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12) is well known for having interesting properties such as ferroelectric and photocatalyst. Many researchers reported that the unique plate-like shaped particle affecting ferroelectric and photocatalyst properties. The molten salt synthesis is the common simple method to obtain that unique morphology. In this research, Bi4Ti3O12 was synthesized using single molten salt NaCl at various temperatures, which is 800, 850, 900, and 950 oC. X-Ray Diffraction data showed that all obtained Bi4Ti3O12 have a B2cb space group with no impurities detected. The Raman spectra shows the characteristic vibration modes of Bi4Ti3O12 at 62, 117, 228, 269, 332, 364, 536, 851 cm-1. The plate-like shaped particle was confirmed by SEM analysis. Based on SEM images, the size of the particle increased along with the synthesis temperature, which is due to the thermal effect on grain growth.

As the highest agrocultural product, cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) remain consider as perishable vegetable and also known to contain an antinutritional compound, called oxalate. The oxalate salts is non-soluble compound in water, and thus settle on human kidney. The preservation and improvement of the nutritional aspect of cabbage can be achieved by fermentation through the enzyme production. Therefore, we study the effect of salt addition and incubation time, as the two important factor in commonly cabbage-based fermentation, combined with someoxalate-degrading bacteria, which wasL. plantarum, L. plantarum – S. cerevisiae, and A. aceti – S. cerevisiae on the oxalate and total acid level in cabbage fermentation. The fermentation was conducted in submerged system at room temperature (25 – 27 °C) with the NaCl concentration addition ranging from 0 – 5% until 10 days. Those condition was carried out for the three types of the tested cultures. The oxalate and total acid level was measured using the permanganometric and acid base titration, respectively. The results indicated that L. plantarum-induced fermentation combined with 3% NaCl during 10 days gave the lowest oxalate level in the fermented cabbage biomass,which was 0.005 mg/100 g FW. Moreover, these single-cultured fermentation was able to produce the highest total acid level in the brine solution, 1.270% at the 8 days of fermentation. This fermentation serves as an alternative method to improve cabbage consumption.
作为最高的农产品,卷心菜(芸苔甘蓝变种。capitata)仍然被认为是易腐蔬菜,也被认为含有一种抗营养化合物,称为草酸盐。草酸盐是一种不溶于水的化合物,因此会沉淀在人的肾脏上。通过酶的生产,发酵可以达到保存和改善白菜营养方面的目的。因此,我们结合某些草酸降解菌,研究了添加盐和孵育时间这两个重要因素对卷心菜发酵的影响。植物芽孢杆菌、植物芽孢杆菌-酿酒芽孢杆菌和醋酸芽孢杆菌-酿酒芽孢杆菌对白菜发酵草酸和总酸水平的影响。在室温(25 ~ 27℃)的浸没体系中发酵,NaCl浓度为0 ~ 5%,发酵10天。这些条件是对三种类型的被试培养物进行的。草酸和总酸水平分别用高锰酸钾滴定法和酸碱滴定法测定。结果表明,发酵10 d时,草酸盐含量最低,为0.005 mg/100 g FW;在发酵8 d时,单次发酵能产生最高的盐水总酸水平,达到1.270%。这种发酵是提高白菜消耗量的另一种方法。

Inhibition corrosion of metals by using organic compounds has become an unavoidable means. So, in this work, the effect of methylxanthines on copper corrosion inhibition in 1M HNO3 was investigated by mass loss measurements and by two theoretical approaches: Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Quantitative Structure Property Relationship (QSPR.) Quantum chemical calculations based on DFT at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level permit to establish a correlation between the quantum chemical parameters and the experimental inhibition efficiency (IE %). It was found that inhibition efficiencies increase with increasing temperature and immersion time. In addition, the QSPR approach was used to find the best set of parameters for each molecule. This set of parameters make it possible to characterize the inhibition performance of the tested molecules solution significantly. The theoretical calculations are consistent with the experimental results.

The study of exhaust H2S and NO2 gases using activated carbon has been conducted. In this study, activated carbon was prepared from mendong plant (Frimbistylis umbellaris), which was activated using zinc chloride (ZnCl2) with concentrations of 2.5; 5; 7.5; and 10 % w/v to determine the efficiency of H2S adsorption. Mendong charcoal was obtained from the process of using a modified tool. Activation was done by maceration using ZnCl2 activator (w/v) for 24 hours. The adsorption of H2S and NO2 was analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Determinations of H2S gas carried out using the blue methylene’s method for 1 hour showed the highest effectiveness of mendong activated carbon was of that at the concentration of 2.5 % ZnCl2 w/v with 80% of H2S removal. Further, the mendong activated carbon with the concentration of 2.5% ZnCl2 w/v was used for NO2 adsorption. The adsorption of NO2 gas was conducted for 1 hour using Griess Saltzman’s method. The result showed that the largest concentration of NO2 gas was adsorbed when the HNO3 concentration was 1.5 M (0.057 µg/mL). The percentage of NO2 efficiency adsorbed was at 28%.

The oil refining of Suri cucumber seed oil has been developed and tested. Crude oil was obtained by using soxhlet extraction in n-hexane, then was refined using chemical method by degumming and neutralization. This study aims are to determine the oil yield before and after refining, the oil’ physicochemical characteristic before and after refining and to determine the oil profile before and after refining by the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) method. The refining process cause the color of the oil become paler, but do not significantly affect on the water content and density. However, the process effect to decreasing of the acid value (5.547±0 mg NaOH/g oil to 0.5±0.14 mg NaOH/g oil) and the peroxide number (0.5077±0.036meq O2/g oil became 0.145 ± 0.036meq O2/g oil). Conversely, the saponification value increase (224.06±0.69mg KOH/g oil to 240.17±1.74mg KOH/g oil). GCMS analysis shows that refining process have effects on the composition of fatty acid in the oil.

In this work we investigated the optical and electrical properties of Au-Ag nanoalloys in various volume ratios. The nanoparticles have been prepared from gold and silver ions reduced by direct irradiation femtosecond laser. The samples were added into a quartz cuvette and irradiated for 10 minutes. Each sample was observed the optical property where surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak was existed. In addition, electrical conductivity of the colloids was derived from the measurement of the correspond zeta potential by dynamic light scattering (DLS) method. The results showed that the SPR peak of Au-Ag nanoalloy were shifted almost linearly in between 409 nm for Ag and 530 nm for Au depending on their volume fraction. The conductivity measurement showed that Au0Ag100 (pure Ag) nanoparticles has the highest value and Au100Ag0 (pure Au) nanoparticles has the lowest value, and interestingly, Au-Ag nanoalloys have the values between Au0Ag100 and Au100Ag0. Briefly, this work revealed that both optical and electrical properties of Au-Ag nanoalloys can be easily tuned by regulating the volume fraction between the two elements.

The results showed that the SPR peak of Au-Ag nanoalloy were shifted almost linearly in between 409 nm for Ag and 530 nm for Au depending on their volume fraction. The conductivity measurement showed that Au0Ag100 (pure Ag) nanoparticles has the highest value and Au100Ag0 (pure Au) nanoparticles has the lowest value, and interestingly, Au-Ag nanoalloys have the values between Au0Ag100 and Au100Ag0. Briefly, this work revealed that both optical and electrical properties of Au-Ag nanoalloys can be easily tuned by regulating the volume fraction between the two elements.","PeriodicalId":22728,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Pure and Applied Chemistry Research","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91279476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sugarcane bagasse (Saccharum officinarum L) is a readily available waste product of cane sugar processing. The content of lignocelluloses in sugarcane bagasse is approximately 52.7% cellulose, 20% hemicelluloses, and 24.2% lignin. Lignin can be degraded enzymatically by using microorganisms, such as Ochrobactrum sp. Monomer derived from lignin degradation using these bacteria in the optimum condition of sugarcane fermentation (pH 6, temperature 40 °C, for 5 days of incubation, the concentrations of starter 29%) by GC-MS yielded phenolic compounds such as 4-methyl-2, 6-di-tert-butylphenol; 2,6-di-tert-butylquinone; phenol, and p-hydroxybenzaldehide. The thrombolytic activity of these lignin monomers can be tested in-vitro by measuring the ability of clot lysis. Lignin did not have in-vitro clot lysis activity, whereas the lignin monomers in filtrat of fermented sugarcane bagasse have an in-vitro clot lysis activity, although its capacity is not as high as streptokinase.
