Abstrak: Freshwater prawn is a crustacean that has an important role in maintaining the balance of freshwater ecosystems. Biodiversity of freshwater prawn research was conducted in the rivers where upstream on Salak Mountain, Bogor, West Java. This study was aimed to find out information on species biodiversity of freshwater prawn in rivers where come from Mount Salak. Sampling stations were 11 points in the rivers where upstream on Mount Salak by road sampling. There was three species of freshwater prawns, namely Macrobrachium lanchesteri (3 specimens), M. empulipke (6 specimens), and M. sintangense (50 specimens). M. sintangense, most commonly found species, mainly found in the slow water with mud substrate. M. empulipke found in rocky habitats with faster water flow, while M. lanchesteri alien species that was found in swift water stream. This species can survive in extreme conditions and could be a superior competitor for local spesies

Abstrak: Freshwater prawn is a crustacean member which has an important role in maintaining the balance of freshwater ecosystem. The study of freshwater prawn was conducted in Lake Kerinci, Jambi Province. The aim of this research was to study the diversity of the freshwater prawn in the Lake Kerinci. The sampling was conducted at 10 stations around the lake. Each station was sampled for 60 minutes, with a length of 10 meter along the edge of the lake. There were 3 species of freshwater prawn found in the Lake Kerinci, i.e., Macrobrachium lanchesteri (289 specimen), M. pilimanus (39 specimens), and M. sintangense (10 specimens). The highest diversity index from the 10 observed stations was 0.96 and the lowest was 0. The highest diversity index was found in varied habitat, while the lowest diversity index was found in one type habitat. Macrobrachium lanchesteri, the dominant species, was mainly found in slow water current, open area, and area occupied with water plants. Macrobracium pilimanus was found in rocky habitat with fast water current, while M. sintangense was found in shallow muddy water with slow water current and sandy substrate.

Judul: Katalis Zink Ferit Tersubstitusi Cu untuk Oksidasi Benzil Alkohol
Abstrak: Katalis berperan dalam menurunkan energi aktivasi. Katalis ZnFe2O4 dan ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu disintesis menggunakan metode kopresipitasi untuk digunakan dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol. Katalis dicirikan dengan spektrofotometer inframerah (FTIR) dan difraktometer sinar-X. Spektrum FTIR menunjukkan puncak serapan dari ikatan Zn-O dan Fe-O masing-masing pada rentang 559‒575 cm-1 dan 419‒447 cm-1. Difraktogram menunjukkan terbentuknya fase tunggal Zn0.6Cu0.4Fe2O4 pada katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20%. Benzil alkohol dioksidasi dengan sistem refluks. Konversi benzil alkohol meningkat dengan meningkatnya suhu. Kadar benzaldehida yang dihasilkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 yang tidak tersubstitusi dan yang tersubstitusi Cu 60 dan 80%. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% memiliki kinerja yang lebih baik dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol menjadi benzaldehida dengan kadar benzaldehida 8.763%.
