Judul: Pengaruh Natrium Dodesil Sulfat dan Heksadesiltrimetilamonium Bromida terhadap Adsorptivitas Campuran Kaolin-Limbah Padat Tapioka dalam Menjerap Biru Metilena
Abstrak: Adsorption is the most efficient method for removing colourants, but adsorbent modification with surfactant is still rarely performed, surfactant can change the selectivity of adsorbent by modifing its surface charge. Natrium dodecyl sulphate (NDS) and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMABr) are anionic and cationic surfactant used in this study. Adsorbent (mixture of kaolin-tapioca solid waste) (75:25) were soaked with surfactant (NDS and HDTMA-Br) at concentration 0, 50, 100, 300, and 600% CMC (critical micelle concentration). The result showed that the control adsorbent (0% CMC surfactant) had adsorptivity of 7.50 mg/g. NDS solution could increase the adsorptivity of adsorbent, while the adsorbent immersed in HDTMA-Br decreased the adsorptivity as compared with the control treatment. Isotherm adsorption for methylene blue using the best adsorbent (adsorbent with soaking 600% CMC NDS), followed Freundlich isotherm.

Judul: Adsorben berbasis limbah padat tapioka
Abstrak: The use of agroindustrial waste and clay mineral have been studied as alternative adsorbents for dyes, such as cibacron blue. In this research, tapioca solid waste, kaolin, bentonite, and the mixture of tapioca solid waste and kaolinite or bentonite were used as adsorbents for cibacron blue. Acid and base treatments were carried out to activate the adsorbents. Adsorption was varied with adsorption times and adsorbent weight. The result showed that acid activated tapioca solid waste had the highest adsorption capacity. The optimum adsorption time and adsorbent tapioca solid waste weight was 75 minutes and 1 g. The cibacron blue concentration decrease from 50 mg/L to 11.12 mg/L. On the other hand, the optimum condition for commercially activated carbon were 30 minutes and 0.5 g with concentration decreasing from 50 mg/L to 19.44 mg/L. The adsorption capacity for acid activated tapioca solid waste and activated carbon were 1.94 mg/g and 3.05 mg/g adsorbent respectively. With adsorption efficiency were 77.75% and 61.11%. Acid activated tapioca solid waste were followed Freundlich isotherm.

Judul: Infectious laryngo tracheitis pada unggas
Abstrak: Infectious Laryngo Tracheitis merupakan penyakit pada unggas yang disebabkan oleh virus yang mempunyai sasaran saluran pernapasan bagian atas Penyebab penyakit Infectious Laryngo Tracheitis Univers (ILT) adalah virus yang termasuk kelompok virus Herpes sering disebut Tarpeia avium. Virus tersebut tersusun dari inti asam deoksi ribonukleat yang dilengkapi dengan pembung- kus yang merupakan derivat dari lemak serta mempunyai garis tengah antara 195-250 nano meter. Pada temperatur kamar virus tersebut dapat bertahan selama 15 hari dalam keadaan tanpa pengawetan. Virus penyebab Infectious Laryngo Tracheitis mempunyai kepekaan terhadap zat kimia golongan pelarut lemak seperti: phenol dan kresol. Induk semang definitip penyakit Infectious Laryngo Tracheitis adalah ayam, tetapi burung merak, itik dan kalkun pernah dilaporkan dapat terinfeksi. Mammalia dan golongan rodensia merupakan hewan yang tahan terhadap infeksi penyakit ini. Pada manusia penyakit Infectious Laryngo Tracheitis diduga mempunyai hubungan dengan timbulnya gangguan neuralgia yang bersifat sub-akut akibat infeksi virus Herpes jenis lain yang disebut virus Sub-acute Myelo Optico Neuropathi (virus SMON).
