Abstrak: Textile wastewater containing dyes can pollute aquatic environment. This study utilized activated carbon from sawdust of mindi woods as adsorbent of Cibacron Red reactive dyes which are widely used in textile industries. The best activated carbon was obtained by maceration in 5% H3PO4 with activation at 650 ºC for 100 minutes. The optimum adsorption condition were obtained under adsorption time of 60 minutes, 3.0 g of adsorbent, and initial concentration of dye solution of 150 ppm. Adsorption capacity of the activated carbon at optimum conditions was 4891.55 μg/g, with adsorption efficiency of 97.87%. The adsorption followed the Freundlich isoterm. Adsorption treatment with activated carbon on textile manufacture waste could decrease the colour intensity after adsorption up to 97.52%, chemical oxygen demand 91.50%, and biochemical oxygen demand 73.17%. Based on these results, sawdust of mindi woods is potentiall as an adsorbent of dyes, thereby reducing the level of pollution of aquatic environment.

Abstrak: Textile wastewater containing dyes can pollute aquatic environment. This study utilized rice husk as adsorbent for Cibacron Red reactive dyes which are widely used in textile industries. Husks were made into adsorbent without modification (ATM) and acid modified adsorbent (AMA). The optimum condition was obtained under adsorption time of 30 minutes, 1.0 g of adsorbent, and initial concentration of dye solution was 150 ppm. The optimum condition for AMA was obtained under adsorption time of 60 minutes, 2.0 g of adsorbent, and 150 ppm initial concentration of dye solution. The optimum condition of activated charcoal (AA) as a comparison was 30 minute time of adsorption, 3.0 g of adsorbent, and 150 ppm initial concentration dye solution. Adsorption capacity of ATM, AMA, and AA at the optimum conditions was 2879.00, 6898.30, and 2470.00 μg/g, respectively. Adsorption efficiency of ATM, AMA, and AA at the optimum conditions was 19.86, 91.71, and 40.51%, respectively. All three types of adsorbent followed the Freundlich isotherm. Application of the adsorbent on waste of textile manufacture showed a decrease in colour after adsorption by ATM, AMA, and AA, up to 52.05, 98.86 and 48.69%, respectively, with the initial colour intensity of 1485 Pt-Co. Starting with COD of the wastewater which was 7372.0 mg/L, the values decreased after the adsorption with ATM, AMA, and AA were 43.30, 98.56 and 52.58%, respectively. Starting with BOD of 149.09 mg/L, the values decreased after adsorption by ATM, AMA, and AA were 63.41, 76.09, and 72.46%, respectively. Based on these results, rice husk is potentially used as an adsorbent of dyes, thereby reducing the level of pollution of aquatic environment.

Judul: Studi Kasus Liver Neoplasia pada Anjing Shih Tzu
Abstrak: Liver neoplasia is the excessive and uncontrolled replication of hepatocytes that forms nodules visible in ultrasonography. The purpose of this study is to study and discuss the characteristic, diagnosis and treatment of liver neoplasm through the interpretation of ultrasonography and hematology in a Shih Tzu dog. Ultrasonography is conducted with a Chison Q8 ultrasound machine with a 5 to 7 MHz frequency convex probe on lateral recumbency. The blood cells, liver enzymes and nodules sizes were the main parameters in this study. The results in the period of three years from 2021 to 2023 were interpreted and supported with secondary data sources. The Shih Tzu dog is 14 years old in the year 2023 with a body weight of 5.21kg. No obvious clinical signs were observed during previous examinations. However, lethargy, vomiting and anorexia were recorded in its latest examination. Thrombocytosis, granulocytosis, high liver enzymes and hypoglycemia, which are some of the neoplastic clinical manifestations were also presented by this patient. Besides, liver neoplasm, spleen neoplasm and biliary sludge were the sonogram findings of this patient. The liver and spleen neoplasm was observed stable, while the biliary sludge volume fluctuated. The treatment strategy recorded is Ondansetron, Samylin®, Ornipural and Ursodeoxycholic acid.
