“This research is expected to be an alternative to processing waste water from shrimp ponds,” said Rikma Dwi Mukharomah. The research was carried out for 4 months, starting June 16, 2023, at the Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, FMIPA, University of Jember. Furthermore, Rikma explained that chitosan-based bioflocculant is synthesized from shrimp shells through several stages, including deproteination, demineralization, and deacetylation. “The result obtained after the deproteination and demineralization processes is chitin, while from the chitin deacetylation process, chitosan is obtained,” she explained.

Prof. Tamio Oguchi visited the Physics Department, FMIPA, University of Jember to carry out research collaboration with Dr. Artoto Arkundato through the Applied Materials and Energy Computing Research Group (18/9). Prof. Tamio Oguchi from the Center for Spintronics Research Network (CSRN) OSAKA University Japan at the start of the visit met with the leadership of FMIPA UNEJ to discuss collaboration while enjoying authentic coffee from Japan. “It is an honor for us to have a visit from Prof. Tamio Oguchi from Japan so that in the future we can explore collaboration with FMIPA,” said the Dean of FMIPA UNEJ Drs. Achmad Sjaifullah, M.Sc., Ph.D.
Located in the FMIPA UNEJ parking lot, Drs. Achmad Sjaifullah, M.Sc., Ph.D., officially opened the Pembinaan dan Pengembangan Mahasiswa Baru (PPMB) at FMIPA Jember University in 2023 (16/9). “This year’s PPMB implementation will be fully offline again, which will be carried out every Saturday from September 9 to September 30, 2023,” he said. The Dean of FMIPA UNEJ hopes that all new students will be able to manage their time and maintain their health so they can take part in PPMB 2023 amidst the busy schedule of lectures from morning to evening with mandatory courses that must be taken.
