Landscape patterns changes and relation to water infiltration of Krueng Peusangan Watershed in Aceh

Watershed has played an important source of ecosystem services (ES). The Krueng Peusangan watershed (KPW) is considered to be the “lungs” and ecological border in the central region of Aceh, Indonesia. This study aims to monitor landscape patterns in the watershed area of 2009-2019 and to predict changes in 2039 and their relationship with infiltration. The selection of this research area is due to the notion that KPW is one of the numerously deforested watersheds in the country. Temporal spatial monitoring of landscape (land use/cover, LUC) patterns are required to inform policy and support future spatial management planning towards sustainability. Landscape patterns changes in KPW, including the extent of loss and addition of forest over the last few years, have not been quantified. In constructing the regional development policies, information regarding the effects of landscape changes and climatic patterns on ecosystem services is essential. Therefore, the knowledge development of this relationship is encouraged. The comparison value between potential and actual infiltration could identify the watershed category. The upstream area of KPW is classified as a significantly critical watershed due to LUC changes. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to improve the absorption zone for the continuation of groundwater protection.

DETERMINATION OF THE CONCENTRATION AND SEPARATION OF VANADYLPORPHYRIN COMPLEXES BY EXTRACTION FROM OIL OF THE OIL AND GAS DISTRICT “NORTH BUZACH”

Oil vanadylporphyrin complexes were obtained by extraction in the presence of N-N-dimethylformamide. In the chromatographic separation of vanadylporphyrin complexes, four main fractions were obtained from the oils of the oil field “North Buzachi” , where all types of known oil porphyrin structures were identified, dominated by deoxophylloerythroethioporphyrin – types with two absorption maxima of 534 Nm and 573 nm. It was found that the total concentration of vanadylporphyrin complexes registered in the absorption zone of 534 nm and 573 nm is 11 times higher than the concentration of nickelporphyrin complexes characteristic of the absorption zone of 550 nm. The ratio of vanadylporphirins of the etio - and deoxo-phylloerythroethioporphyrin (DPEP) type was 0.11. The results of the research allow us to conclude that the oil of the “North Buzachi” oil and gas district is a promising raw material for obtaining vanadylporphyrin complexes.

A Three-Component Hybrid Templated by Asymmetric Viologen Exhibiting Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Degradation on Dye Pollutant in Maritime Accident Seawater

The increasing dangerous chemical pollutants led by shipping accidents call for the new pollutant treatment strategy. In this work, a new three-component hybrid {[(BiI6)I13]·2I3·(H-BPA)4}n (1) can be used in dye degradation in seawater. The highly interesting feature of 1 lies in its unique 1-D Z-shape [(BiI6)I13]n6− infinite chain constructed from the I···I contacts between mono-nuclear (BiI6)3− anions and I133− polyiodide anions. Finally, the hydrogen bonds between [(BiI6)I13]n6− polyanions and H-BPA2+ cations contribute to the formation a quasi-3-D network. Specifically, 1 exhibits the wide absorption zone from ultraviolet to visible regions and high charge-separation efficiency, hinting its application in visible-light catalysis. As expected, 1 represents photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B in seawater with degradation ratio of 90%, and the photocatalytic performance is stable. This work might provide new photocatalytic material for pollutant treatment in shipping accidents.

THE STUDY OF PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF PACKERS' CUFFS

In the drilling of wells, cementing of protective pipelines, development of productive horizons, as well as in operation, wells need to be divided into permanent or temporary areas. More advanced than these processes is the use of packing devices in the technological separation of layers and the insulation of protective belts. For example, delivery of the buffer mixture to the absorption zone by packer-mounted drill pipes saves 40-60% of time and reduces material consumption by 1.5-2 times compared to previous non-packer technologies. Keywords: packer, cuff, protective pipeline, sliding, sealing

Experimental Investigation of the Wetting Ability of Microemulsion to Different Coal Samples

To improve water injection effect, microemulsions (MEs) were used to wet coal seam compared with water and sodium dodecyl sulfate solution (SDS). Wetting effects were characterized by contact angle, X-ray diffraction, Fourier infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that the microemulsion has better spreadability on coal surface and has stronger wettability for coals of different ranks and different particle sizes than traditional wetting agents. The W/O type microemulsion is more affinity to coal than the O/W type and the bicontinuous type.Oxygen and hydrogen contents contributed to wetting. Different wetting agents have the greatest impact on the oxygen-containing functional group absorption zone of coal, but have little impact on the change of clay mineral composition.As the content of quartz increased, the content of montmorillonite was decreased, and the hydrophilicity of coal was increased. This research proposes new ideas for solving coal dust problems and reducing coal mine disasters.

Interpolyelectrolyte Complexes Based on Eudragit® Copolymers as Carriers for Bioadhesive Gastroretentive Metronidazole Delivery System

Introduction. There are a number of drugs, the absorption zone of which is the upper region of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) – the stomach and duodenum. To increase bioavailability, gastroretentive (intragastric) systems for the controlled drug delivery are being developed. To date, there are various approaches to ensure intragastric drug delivery. One of the most promising approaches is the use of excipients with bioadhesive properties, both individually and in combination with other types of gastroretentive systems.Aim. Development and research of new carriers for gastroretentive bioadhesive drug delivery systems based on interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPEC) with the participation of chemically complementary poly(meth)acrylates of the Eudragit®.Materials and methods. The study of swelling ability was carried out in a medium of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid solution (pH 1.2) at a temperature of 37 ± 0.5 °C for 6 hours. The study of the release of metronidazole (MZ) from matrices based on the corresponding IPEC was performed on a DFZ II instrument (ERWEKA, Germany) according to the Flow Trough Cell method in 0.1 M HCl medium, pH 1.2, flow rate 4 ml/min in a closed cycle within 6 hours. The amount of released MZ was estimated by UV spectrophotometry on a Lambda 25 instrument (PerkinElmer, USA) at a wavelength of 274 nm. IPEC adhesion was studied using a TA.XTplus texture analyzer (Stable Micro Systems, UK).Results and discussion. Matrices based on IPEC 1 were disintegrated after being in a medium with a pH of 1.2 for 4 hours, matrices based on IPEC 4 were dissolved in an acidic medium for 3 hours. At the same time, matrices based on IPEC 2 and IPEC 3 retain their shape throughout the experiment and are characterized by rather high values of the degree of swelling. IPEC samples are characterized by higher adhesion performance compared to individual copolymers. The release of metronidazole from matrices based on IPEC 1 occurs in accordance with Fick's law of diffusion; from the matrix based on IPEC 4, MZ is released according to the anomalous transport mechanism.Conclusion. IPEC 3 is promising for use as carrier for gastroretentive bioadhesive systems of controlled delivery of metronidazole.
