Study on anti breast cancer activity of 3-substituted 4-anilino coumarin derivatives by using quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) has been performed. The structures and the activity data were literatured from Guoshun et al. experiment. The molecular and electronic molecule properties were obtained from DFT/BPV86 6-31G method calculation after was through methods validation. The QSAR analysis were shown by Multi Linear Regression method (MLR). The best model of obtained for 3-substituted 4-anilino coumarin derivatives is: Log IC50 = 5.905 + (0.936 x qC1) + (-8.225 x qC8) + (-0.582 x qC13) + (11.273 x qC15) + (0.869 x ∆E) ; n = 26; r2= 0.704; Fcal/Ftab = 2.462; SEE = 0.184.

Plastic pollution is an environmental problem that has not resolved until now. Pyrolysis is able to be a solution to reduce plastic waste. The use of catalysts will reduce heating temperatures, speed up processing time, and increase product yield. Natural zeolite has the potency as a catalyst in pyrolysis process due to its micropore structure, high acidity and thermal stability. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of active zeolite catalyst on the polypropylene pyrolysis. The main process of this study is pyrolysis of polypropylene (PP) plastic waste without catalysts and with natural zeolite catalysts which were non-activated and activated. Natural zeolites were activated by HF, HCl and NH4Cl. The well result of this research is represented by the yield, viscosity, calorific value, FTIR and GC-MS analysis. Based on the results of diffractogram analysis, natural zeolites catalyst in this study is included in modernite minerals crystalline. The ratio of Si/Al in zeolite before activation was 7.07 and the acidity was 0.697 g/mmol. After the activation process, the ratio of Si/Al and zeolite acidity increased by 62.181% and 43.84%. The use of active natural zeolite catalysts in pyrolysis PP could reduce the total reaction time by 57.14%. Pyrolysis products with active zeolite catalyst compared to without catalysts had clearer color and higher heating value, compared to pirolysis without catalyst. Based on function group analysis with FTIR, the mixture of hydrolyzed compounds containing successive functional groups are-C-H (alkanes), double bond of C=C, hydroxyl-OH group which can be determined as phenol (ArOH), alcohol (ROH), and carboxylic acid (RCOOH). The GC-MS analysis showed that pyrolysis products are composed of a mixture of alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, carboxylic acids with aromatic rings, and ketones. The pyrolysis products without catalysts consist of 5-11 (C5-C11) carbon atoms, whereas the range of carbon atoms of pyrolysis products with active zeolite catalysts was 6-24 (C6-C24).

Vegetable oil is one of rice bran components. As triglycerides, vegetable oil can be converted to fatty acid and alkyl esters for further treatments. Synthesis of alkyl ester oil can be carried out by esterification or transesterification reaction, depending on the quality of the oil and the catalyst. The purposes of this study are 1) Rice bran oil isolation, 2) Oil esterification 3) Characterization and identification of the methyl ester that compose rice bran oil. The stages in this research are 1) Extraction of rice bran oil, 2) Synthesis of methyl ester from rice bran through esterification reaction, 3) Methyl ester characterization of rice bran oil and its potential test as biodiesel included determination of density, viscosity, refractive index, and acid number test, 4) The identification of synthesized methyl esters composition using GC-MS. The results showed that rice bran oil has a yield of 18.09%. Synthesis of methyl esters from rice bran oil through the esterification reaction with a catalyst acid yields 72.37%. The characters of the synthesized methyl ester are on the range of biodiesel quality standards, namely, the density is 0.850 g/mL, viscosity is 4.73 cSt, a refractive index is 1.45871, and an acid number is 0.76 g KOH/g methyl ester, therefore it is claimed that the synthesized methyl esters have the potential as biodiesel. The GC-MS result showed the presence of compounds methyl tetradecanoate (0.38%), methyl hexadecanoate (40.67%), methyl 9-octadecenoate (53.68%), methyl octadecanoate (5.02%), and methyl eicosanoate (0.14%).
