Our PKM-RE team from the Chemistry Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Jember University, has successfully received funding from the Ministry of Education and Culture, Research, and Technology. Our PKM-RE team, consisting of Lina Sun Haji as team leader and members Choirun Nisa Anida, Caleysda Aprilianti, Himayah Izmi Fauziyyah, and Diah Ayu Pitaloka, has carried a theme entitled Test strip Berbasis Metil Merah Untuk Tes Cepat, Praktis, dan Ekonomis Senyawa Formalin dalam Sampel Ikan atau dapat disebut dengan Trifommer (Test strip Formalin Berbasis Metil Merah). Our teamwork program is accompanied by Dr. . Zulfikar, Ph.D., who helps, supervises, and directs the smooth performance of teamwork.

Formalin can also be known as formaldehyde, which is a chemical compound that is often used as a preservative for corpses in the embalming process. Formalin can be used as a preservative for corpses because it helps prevent body decomposition due to the nature of formalin, which can stop the growth of bacteria and fungi. However, formalin is often misused when preserving food so that it does not rot quickly. One of the foods that is often preserved is fish. Formalin is a food that is strictly prohibited from being added to food because it can interfere with the performance of the body’s organs. Continue reading →

INNOVATIVE!!! PKM-RE Team from FMIPA UNEJ treats Microalgae Waste Using Magnetic Chitosan from Shrimp Shells

News, Student, , , ,

The Student Creativity Program Team for Exact Research (PKM-RE) Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Jember University presented an innovative solution to overcome the problem of microalgae waste. The team headed by Imelda Dwi Puspita from the Chemistry Department consisted of Muhammad Ragil Ainur Rahman, Ka’aziyah Aulia Nada, and Sya’rifa Salma Musliyati Putri from the Chemistry Department and Silfia Ayuni from the Biology Department. This team is guided by chemistry and environmental lecturer Dr. Bambang Piluharto, S.Si., M.Si. from the Chemistry Department, FMIPA UNEJ and passed the 2024 PKM 8 Sector funding stage. This research is entitled “Flokulasi Mikroalga Menggunakan Kitosan Magnetik serta Uji Potensinya sebagai Pupuk N dan P”.

Microalgae are photosynthetic aerobic organisms that grow widely in shrimp ponds. These organisms can become agents of water pollution if not managed properly. “Microalgae contain high nutrients but can cause eutrophication and disrupt the balance of the pond ecosystem,” said Imeda. Apart from microalgae, shrimp ponds also produce other waste in the form of shrimp shells. The abundance of shrimp ponds also increases the amount of shrimp shell waste produced, so creative innovation is needed to maintain ecosystem balance. Continue reading →
