Judul: Optimasi Zeolit Alam TermodifikasiFe(OH)3 sebagai Penukar Anion
Abstrak: Activation and modification with Fe(OH)3 can increase the ability of zeolite as anion exchanger. Activation were carried out with HCl concentration of 2, 4, 6, and 8 M with variation of agitation time of 60, 90, and 120 minutes. Optimum condition was determined from the highest anion exchange capacity (AEC), that was 4 M of HCl and contact time of 90 minutes with AEC value of 15.71 meq/100 g. Optimum condition of zeolite modification with Fe(OH)3 was 1.5 g of zeolite weight, 0.1 M of Fe(OH)3 concentration, 120 minutes of contact time, and 24 hours of aging time. The AEC and cation exchange capacity (CEC) obtained in this optimum condition were 21.82 and 100.80 meq/100 g, respectively. Adsorption of Fe(OH)3 into activated zeolite surface data was fitted to Langmuir adsorption isoterm. Phenol was used for batch adsorption studies of optimum Fe(OH)3modified zeolite. The sorption efficiency (%) and sorption capacity of this zeolite were increased linearly with phenol concentration. The amount were 3.69% and 2.01 mg/g, respectively at 80 ppm of phenol. Increment in AEC value as well as still high CEC value in Fe(OH)3-modified zeolite is potencial to be utilized as adsorbent or ion exchanger for waste with negative or positive charge or combination of both.

Judul: Optimisasi Adsorpsi Ion Pb(II) Menggunakan Zeolit Alam Termodifikasi Ditizon
Abstrak: Lead (Pb) is one of heavy metals pollutants in the environment. Adsorption appears to be the most widely used for removal of the heavy metals. The aim of this research is to improve the performance of zeolite by modification using chelating agent diphenyltiocarbazone (dithizone) to remove Pb(II) from aqueous solution. The effect of various variables, such as, pH, amount of adsorbent, concentration of Pb, and contact time was investigated using batch process. The best mass of adsorbent for modified zeolite was 0.2 g. The best conditions for modified zeolite was obtained at pH 6, concentration of Pb(II) 300 ppm, and contact time 60 minutes. Meanwhile, the best performance of the unmodified zeolite was at pH 4, concentration of Pb 250 ppm, and contact time 60 minutes. The modified zeolite showed higher adsorption capacity than that of the unmodified material. The results revealed that the adsorption behavior of Pb(II) on the both adsorbent fitted well with the Langmuir model. In addition, the mean adsorption energy from the Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm indicated that the adsorption process was physisorption.

Judul: Beberapa aspek anatomi alat sirkulasi ruang dada kancil
Abstrak: Telah dilakukan penelitian dengan menggunakan 10 ekor kancil dewasa jantan dan betina dengan tujuan untuk menge- tahui beberapa aspek anatomi alat sirkulasi di dalam ruang dada, meliputi jantung, pembuluh darah yang keluar dan ma- suk jantung serta ukuran-ukuran jantung. Kancil merupakan ruminansia terkecil di dunia, hidup di daerah tropika India, Thailand, Malaysia dan Indonesia bagian barat. Hewan ini dilindungi dan mempunyai prospek yang baik untuk hewan penelitian maupun dibudidayakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berat jantung rаta-rata adalah 0.69% dari berat rata-rata kancil. Dan ini mirip pada jantung kuda dan anjing. Bentuk jantung lonjong seperti halnya ruminansia. Demikian pula letaknya di dalam ruang dada seperti pada ruminansia dengan adanya Ligamentum sternopericardiacum. Di dalam ventrikel kanan membersit sebuah Musculus (M.) papillaris dari dindingnya dan tiga sampai empat Musculi (Mm.) papillares dari Septum interventriculare. Hanya dua buah Mm. papillares yang berukuran besar dibersitkan dari dinding ventrikel kiri. Percabangan Arteri (A.) coronaria sinistra lebih dominan dari pada A. coronaria dextra. Sedangkan A. sub clavia sinistra dicabangkan langsung dari aorta di dorso- caudal pembersitan Truncus (Tr.) brachiocephalicus…
