Kelurahan Seberang Padang, Kecamatan Padang Selatan merupakan wilayah yang berada di sebelah Kota Padang yang memiliki lebih kurang 200 KK yang terdiri atas 5 RT. Lokasi ini merupakan daerah pelintasan antara Padang-Painan. Ditinjau dari pasar tradisional terdiri dari 2 lokasi dan banyak terdapat warung-warung yang menjual kebutuhan sehari-hari. Disamping itu juga terdapat 1 gedung SD, 2 gedung SMP, dan 1 gedung SMA (PGRI). Terjadinya pandemi global Covid-19 tentu saja berpengaruh terhadap aktivitas sehari-hari maupun kegiatan pembelajaran dari anak-anak, SD, SMP, dan SMA serta masyarakat di kelurahan tersebut untuk pemenuhan kebutuhan pokok mereka. Apalagi masalah utama dari Covid-19 tidak hanya tentang akibat yang ditimbulkan oleh virus terhadap penderita tapi juga tentang penularannya yang sangat cepat. Oleh karena itu untuk mengedukasi warga masyarakat yang ada di sekitar kelurahan Seberang Padang maka beberapa Dosen Kimia FMIPA Unand dengan bantuan beberapa orang mahasiswa telah melaksanakan pelatihan kepada warga masyarakat tentang pembuatan desinfektan dan hand sanitizer yang bisa mengatasi terjadinya penularan Covid-19, selain itu juga diberikan bantuan masker dan sembako bagi warga yang kurang mampu di masing-masing RT.

The aim of this study is to utilize fly ash from various sources on chemical and physical properties of cement type I (OPC). Utilization of fly ash can improve the strengthness of the cement. It can reduce the waste of fly ash by utilization into cement process. The procedure has been carried out on cement type I (OPC) with the addition of fly ash additives from various sources with concentration variations such as 10% and 20%. Utilization of fly ash as additives substance in cement works to improve the quality of cement. The main parameter in determining the quality of cement is determined by the compressive strength. The results of the compressive strength test showed that the addition of fly ash with a concentration of 10% had a higher effect on the compressive strength than the addition of a concentration of 20%. 5 types fly ash from various sources, fly ash from PT Sinar Mas gives greater compressive strength at 28 days. the addition of fly ash additives to OPC cement mixture has chemical and physical properties which are not much different from properties of PCC cement.

To meet the consumption needs of fish and vegetables by utilizing a narrow urban land it can be used an aquaponic system. The aquaponic system is an integration of fish farming with hydroponic cultivation that utilizes the remains of feed and fish waste into nutrients for plants with the help of nitrifying bacteria. In this study used tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Pakcoy (Brassica rapa L). Determination of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate concentration aims to find the ammonia change to nitrite and nitrate in fish ponds, biofilter, and hydroponic sequences, and their absorption by plants. The ammonia concentration at three sampling points (3.231-8.989) mg/L and has exceeded the threshold of 0.02 mg/L, while for ammonia concentrations in each sample of pakcoy plant (558.563-2,001.659)mg/Kg. The concentration of nitrite (0.008-0.760)mg/L and has exceeded the standard quality threshold of 0.06 mg/L, except in the 0 day water sample sample 0.009 mg/ L and the water sample after the biofilter 0.008 mg/L, the concentration of nitrite pakcoy plant (3.764-12.321)mg/Kg. Nitrate concentration in water sample (1.046-2.275)mg/L, and still below the standard threshold of freshwater aquaculture (20-30)mg/L, nitrate concentration in pakcoy plant (4,890.09-12,864.7)mg/Kg. Ammonia and nitrite concentrations have exceeded the threshold, while nitrate concentrations are still below the threshold.

Phenol (C 6 H 5 OH) is a common contaminant in wastewater. In certain concentrations, phenol can inhibit the activity of microorganisms and give adverse effects to human health, such as liver and kidney damage, perfect heart rate, and lower blood pressure . In this study, phenol was degraded with and without N-doped TiO 2 under photolysis UV-light (10 Watts, λ = 365 nm) and visible-light (13 watt Philips, lux= 1400, λ = 465-640 nm) irradiation . The reduction of phenol concentration was measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength 200-400 nm. Some parameters such as catalyst dose, irradiation times and type of light sources were studied. The XRD and DRS UV-Vis characterization confirm that the nitrogen modified of titania catalyst potentially actives in visible-light. The N-doped TiO 2 is able to catalyze and improve the efficiency of phenol degradation in photocatalysis system. Phenol with initial concentration 8 mg/L was degraded by 33.89% and 30.51% without catalyst and increased to be 90 . 8% and 67.80% by addition of 1 5 mg N-doped TiO 2 catalyst under UV-light and visible-light for 210 minutes photolysis , respectively. From the results , irradiation using UV-light achieves higher efficiency than visible-light on phenol degradation.

ABSTRACT The textile industry produce colored waste liquid that can contaminate the line water and its populations. A number of dyes are using in textile industry processes such as rhodamine-B and alizarine-S. Both of dyes are toxic for human life. In order to reduce the concentration that dyes is used the sonolysis method which have good efficiency and effective to degrade this pollutants. Sonolysis was performed using an ultrasound energy at 47 kHz. Catalyst ZnO is used to get better degradation. Rhodamine-B 2mg/L with 0.3 g ZnO addition, pH 5, temperature 40°C get 35.44% degradation after 60 minutes. If we used 3 mL H2O2 30% in the same condition the degradation up to 42.67% and with the combination of 0.3 g ZnO - 3 mL H2O2 as catalysts it got 91.99% after 90 minutes. Alizarine-S 20 mg/L with 0.5 g ZnO addition, pH 5, temperature 50°C was degraded up to 86.45% after 35 minutes. Furthermore, the degradation reached 95.79% if it used 0.5 g ZnO and 25 mL H2O2 30% at pH 5 and temperature 50°C after 35 minutes sonolysis. Keywords : rhodamine-B, alizarine-s, ZnO, H2O2

The case of how handling the fresh fish which used the dangerous chemical material (formaldehyde) is still found in society, so that is why it is necesarry to find the safety way to handle the fresh fish in. It has been held the research about the influence of on the effect of some treatment in reduction the formaldehyde level on fish determined by spectrophotometry UV-Visible at wavelength 412 nm and 40°C. In the preliminary research the fish is soaked in formaldehyde liquid (100 mg/mL) for 24 hours, then washed, soaked and boiled. Then, the filtrate is reacted with Nash reagent. The yellow color which has formed was measured at λ 412 nm. The result shows there is the reduction of formaldehyde level in the sample about 43.9 % after washing, 33.3 % after soaking, 53.8 % after boiling. After that, the fish that was spread in the market which suspected containing the formaldehyde then washed, soaked and boiled. The result shows there is the reduction of formalin level in sample 1 about 22,7 % after washing, 17.0% after soaking, and 96.1 % after boiling. While in sample 2, 41.8 % after washing, 56.2 % after soaking, and 95.4 % after boiling.
