The pillarization process is carried out using direct pillarization and indirect pillarization methods. In this research, the number of moles of metal pillaring agent used was 5 mmol/gram bentonite. The pillarization process is carried out by mixing the natural bentonite suspension and pillaring agent at a temperature of 80<sup>o</sup>C and stirring for 5 hours using a hot plate stirrer. Pillars were formed in the calcination and oxidation stages at a temperature of 500<sup>o</sup>C using N<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> gas flows for 1 hour and 5 hours respectively. The resulting material was characterized using the FTIR spectroscopy method, X-ray diffraction and N<sub>2</sub> gas adsorption using the BET method. The characterization results show that TEOS species can form better and more homogeneous pore structures compared to silicate species. The direct pillarization method provides better and more homogeneous pillar heights compared to the indirect pillarization method. However, the pore size obtained is still on the micropore size scale observed using the N<sub>2</sub> gas adsorption method with the BET method.</em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Keyword</em><em>s:</em></strong> <em>pillarization, si, teos, bentonite</em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Abstrak</strong>—Telah dilakukan proses pilarisasi bentonit alam asal Pacitan, Jawa Timur menggunakan spesies logam Si dalam Na-silikat dan TEOS. Proses pilarisasi yang dilakukan menggunakan metode pilarisasi langsung dan pilarisasi tidak langsung. Pada penelitian ini jumlah mol logam <em>pillaring agent </em>yang digunakan adlah 5 mmol/gram bentonit. Proses pilarisasi dilakukan dengan mencampurkan suspensi bentonit alam dan <em>pillaring agent</em> pada suhu 80<sup>o</sup>C dan diaduk selama 5 jam menggunakan <em>hot plate stirrer</em>. Pilar dibentuk pada tahap kalsinasi dan oksidasi pada suhu 500<sup>o</sup>C menggunakan aliran gas N<sub>2</sub> dan O<sub>2</sub> masing-masing selama 1 jam dan 5 jam. Material yang dihasilkan dikarakterisasi menggunakan metode spektroskopi FTIR, difraksi sinar-X dan adsorpsi gas N<sub>2</sub> dengan metode BET. Hasil karakterisasi menunjukkan bahwa spesies TEOS dapat membentuk struktur pori lebih baik dan lebih homogen dibandingkan dengan spesies silikat. Metode plarisasi langsung memberikan tinggi pilar lebih baik dan lebih homogen dibandingkan dengan metode pilarisasi tidak langsung. Namun demikian ukuran pori yang diperoleh masih dalam skala ukuran mikropori yang diamati menggunakan metode adsorpsi gas N<sub>2</sub> dengan metode BET.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Kata kunci:</em></strong> <em>pilarisasi, si, teos, bentonit</em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><em> </em></p>2025-02-01T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Restu Kartiko Widi, Emma Savitrihttps://journal.ubaya.ac.id/index.php/saintek/article/view/7760Study on the Banana Peel Hydrolysate for Lactic Acid Bacteria Growth Media2025-08-13T01:54:47+00:00Akbarningrum Fatmawatiakbarningrum@staff.ubaya.ac.idEndang Sriharie_srihari@staff.ubaya.ac.idPuguh Setyopratomopuguh@staff.ubaya.ac.idRudy Agustriyantorudy.agustriyanto@staff.ubaya.ac.id<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Abstract</strong>—Banana peel is food waste material that may contain certain beneficial nutrition and be useful for bacterial media production. This experiment aims to determine the effect of several variables which may have influence on the ability of banana peel to support probiotic growth. The thermal treatment used autoclave. In the hydrolysis step for probiotic growth, the variables studied were pH and temperature. The best result of hydrolysis was obtained by the initial steam treatment, followed by hydrolysis process at pH 4.5 and 95<sup>o</sup>C. The reducing sugar content obtained was 0.96 g/L. In the fermentation process, pure banana peel hydrolysate media was able produces to support <em>Lactobacillus plantarum</em> growth better than mixed media. The pure banana peel hydrolysate media could achieve up to 12.89 log CFU/ml. The amylase activity produced in the pure banana peel hydrolysate media was 8.14 DP.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Keywords:</strong> banana, probiotic, hydrolysis, growth, amylase</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Abstrak</strong>—Kulit pisang merupakan bahan limbah yang memiliki kandungan nutrisi menguntungkan dan berguna untuk produksi media pertumbuhan bakteri. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan pengaruh beberapa variabel yang dapat mempengaruhi kulit pisang untuk mendukung pertumbuhan probiotik. Kulit pisang tersebut diolah melalui hidrolisis enzimatik menggunakan enzim amylase termofilik. Variabel sebelum proses hidrolisis adalah penggunaan pengolahan termal menggunakan uap air dan tanpa pengolahan. Pada langkah hidrolisis, variabel yang dipelajari adalah pH dan suhu. Hasil hidrolisa terbaik adalah dengan penggunaan pengolahan awal dengan uap air diikuti dengan hidrolisis pada pH 4,5 dan suhu 95<sup>o</sup>C.

In this study, pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes were tested for their performance as adsorbents to remove acid blue 29 dye. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were synthesized by the catalytic chemical vapor deposition method from liquefied petroleum gas with Fe-Co-Mo/MgO catalyst. Adsorption experiments were carried out in batches by varying the initial concentration of dyes. The purpose of this study was to observe the performance of pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes to adsorb dyes. In addition, observation of the suitability of the adsorption equilibrium model for this system was also carried out. The results showed that pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes were proven to be able to remove acid blue 29 dye. The experimental results showed that the percentage of dye removal was higher when the initial concentration of dye in the liquid was lower. The pristine carbon nanotubes used were able to reduce dyes from the liquid by 68.8% in just one process cycle. Adsorption equilibrium stu dy showed that Freundlich equilibrium model is more suitable for this system than Langmuir equilibrium model. The results of this study have shown that multiwalled carbon nanotubes have a very good chance as an adsorbent to remove dyes from industrial wastewater.</em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>adsorption, carbon nanotubes, equilibrium, model, removal</em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Abstrak</strong>—Meningkatnya polusi zat warna pada limbah cair industri akhir-akhir ini telah menarik perhatian untuk mendapatkan teknik penghilangan zat warna tersebut yang bekerja secara efektif dan efisien.
