<p><em>Chemical glass bottle waste can be used to make silica gel due to its high content of SiO<sub>2</sub> composition. The aim of this research is to obtain silica which is extracted from chemical waste from glass chemical bottles and synthesized using the sol gel method. Chemical glass bottle waste can be extracted by alkali fusion. The mass ratio of glass powder: NaOH is 1:3. The calcination process is carried out at 800°C within 4 hours to obtain sodium silicate. Sodium silicate was then synthesized using the sol gel method by reacting with HCl to form a white gel. The gel was then left for 18 hours, then filtered. The resulting precipitate was washed until it reached pH 7. The drying process was in an oven at 80°C for 12 hours. The final product is white silica gel which was characterized using FTIR and XRD. FTIR was used to obtain typical absorption bands, such as the siloxane ring 447.5 cm<sup>-1</sup>, as well as the symmetric and asymmetric Si-O-Si stretching vibrations, namely 702.11 cm<sup>-1</sup> and 1022.31 cm<sup>-1</sup> , respectively. The XRD results produced a characteristic peak at 2 theta around 22-25°, which means that the silica gel structure obtained in this study has amorphous properties.</em></p> <p><em> </em><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> Synthesis; silica gel; chemical glass bottle waste</em></p>Yani’ QoriatiAkhmad Al Bari

https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/42075
<p>Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a global health problem that continues to increase. One alternative approach in managing diabetes is using natural materials with antihyperglycemic activity. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) containing Kabau seed extract (<em>Archidendron bubalinum</em> (Jack) I.C. Nielsen) coated with trimyristin in reducing blood glucose levels in hyperglycemic rats. Extraction was carried out by maceration using 96% ethanol, while SLN was synthesized by high-speed homogenization and ultrasonication methods. Particle size analysis showed an average diameter of 262.61 nm with a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.144, indicating a homogeneous formulation. Phytochemical testing showed that Kabau seed extract contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins contributing to antihyperglycemic activity. In vivo tests on <em>Mus musculus</em> showed that 20 % concentration of Kabau SLN reduced blood glucose levels by up to 97 mg/dL, approaching the effectiveness of metformin (104 mg/dL). Statistical analysis of ANOVA and BNT test showed significant differences between treatments. These results indicate that Kabau SLN has the potential as a candidate for phytopharmaceuticals in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus.</p> <p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>Diabetes mellitus; Kabau; solid lipid nanoparticles; trimyristin; flavonoids</em></p>Solina BalqisDiah Miftahul AiniMuhammad Arif FadilahNurkayahMu'awiyatu Al-LaitsiLia Aseptin MurdiniElva Febriyanti

https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/42521
<p><em>Students generally have difficulty understanding chemistry learning material on acid-base titrations. Learning is still teacher-centered and there is little student activity in playing a role in the learning process. Objective: to discover science process skills and the value of guided inquiry-based acid-base titration practical reports. Method: quantitative descriptive, class XI MIPA 1 MAN 11 South Jakarta. The sample was 34 students using purposive random sampling. Data were collected using a 23-item questionnaire from indicators of science process skills in practical acid-base titration material and practical report grades. Research results: the implementation of guided inquiry-based acid-base titration practical learning showed good results. The average final score for students' practicum report results was 86.941, the standard deviation was 4.313. This indicates that the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) set by the school of 80 has been achieved. The highest percentage of science process skills in the observing indicator is 82.6%. And the indicators of grouping, predicting, hypothesizing, applying concepts, interpreting, planning experiments, and using tools are categorized as good. Meanwhile, 2 other indicators are in the sufficient category, namely the indicator of asking questions 53.8% and communicating 60.6%. Conclusion: An acid-base titration practicum using the guided inquiry learning model can improve learning outcomes and develop students' science process skills.</em></p> <p><strong><em>K</em></strong><strong><em>eywords</em></strong><strong><em>: </em></strong><em>Guided Inquiry; Science Process Skills; Practicum Report Value; Practicum</em><em>.</em></p>Dewi Linda ArdiantiSiti SuryaningsihTuti Janatun

<p>Kurikulum merdeka adalah kurikulum yang dirancang berfokus kepada siswa dengan memiliki prinsip pengembangan kompetensi dan karakter, fleksibel, dan juga berfokus pada muatan esensial. Namun, dalam penerapan kurikulum merdeka tidak terlepas dari permasalahan yang ada di lapangan, salah satunya yang dirasakan oleh guru mata pelajaran Kimia di SMAN 1 Rumpin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan permasalahan penerapan kurikulum merdeka yang dirasakan oleh guru kimia di SMAN 1 Rumpin. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Peneliti menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data berupa wawancara semi struktur, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan analisis data Miles Huberman dan Saldana yang terdiri dari <em>data condentation, data display, </em>dan <em>conclusion: drawing/verification</em>. Penelitian ini menemukan delapan temuan yang menunjukan permasalahan yang dirasakan oleh guru kimia di SMAN 1 Rumpin dalam menerapkan kurikulum merdeka diantaranya: kurangnya kesiapan guru dalam menerapkan kurikulum merdeka, kendala dalam menerapkan strategi pembelajaran, rendahnya minat siswa, kurangnya sumber daya manusia, fasilitas, dan finansial, keterbatasan waktu, kendala dalam menerapkan Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P5), beban kerja, dan kurangnya dukungan dari <em>stakeholder </em>(pemerintah, kolaborasi guru, dan orang tua).</p> <p>Kata kunci: <strong><em>Problematika </em></strong><strong>implementasi; Kurikulum Merdeka; guru mata pelajaran kimia.</strong></p>Wanda HamidahSalamah Agung

https://ejournal.unib.ac.id/alotropjurnal/article/view/40396
<p><em>Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a widely studied semiconductor material due to its broad range of applications. ZnO is known for its stability and can be synthesized using various methods. One of the approaches employed in this study is the co-precipitation method with a green synthesis approach. The green synthesis principle applied in this research involves minimizing the use of synthetic chemicals by substituting them with natural materials. Mango leaves (Mangifera sp.), which are readily available in the environment, contain secondary metabolites which can act as the capping agents in synthesis ZnO nanoparticle. The role of the capping agent is to limit particle interactions, thereby reducing agglomeration. ZnO synthesis was carried out at a low temperature by mixing Zn²⁺ precursor, NaOH, and mangifera sp. leaf extract, followed by stirring. The heating process was conducted at 130°C for 4 hours. The synthesized material was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-DRS, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The characterization results confirmed that the ZnO sample exhibited a hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure, a nanoflower morphology, and a band gap energy of 3.26 eV.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>ZnO</em><em>; nanoparticles; photocatalyst; congo red; co-precipitation.</em></p>HasiahDemi Dama YantiBambang Ari Wahjoedi
