Banda Aceh City and Aceh Besar Regency are two of the areas experiencing rapid population growth and increased waste production, including plastics. The areas are directly adjacent to the coast, and the generated plastic waste has the potential to pollute the sea and fish. Therefore, this research...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
Natural dyes, such as annatto, are widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. However, the effluents from annatto dye production pose environmental challenges due to the presence of residual dye components, organic matter, and dissolved inorganic species (chloride and sulfate). This...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
Using a baffle reactor to degrade nitrophenol wastewater, with p-nitrophenol as the target pollutant, investigate the effects of nitrophenol concentration, external carbon source concentration, hydraulic retention time, and dissolved oxygen changes on the degradation of p-nitrophenol in the micro...
Climate change
In recent years, there has been an increase in the earth's temperature due to the emission of CO 2 which causes global warming. With a 1.9°C temperature increase predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, reducing of CO 2 is essential for all living species. Therefore, finding novel...
