Natural coagulants from plants resources have gained a lot of attention as it is renewable, biodegradable, non-hazardous, lower cost, and less sludge generated compared to chemical coagulants. However there are still some drawbacks, namely long settling time and possible increase of dissolved organic carbon in the treated water. In this paper we tried to address these drawbacks by utilizing citrate modified Fe3O4 to adsorb protein from Leucaena leucocephala as the active coagulating agent. The effect of trisodium citrate concentration and protein adsorption pH to the adsorbed protein was investigated. It was found that the trisodium citrate concentration of 0.5 M and pH 4.0 gave the highest protein adsorption. The obtained magnetic coagulant was furthermore characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, and Transmission Electron Microscopy to observe the characteristics before and after protein adsorption. Furthermore, the effect of pH (2 to 10) and coagulant dosage (60 to 600 mg L− 1) to the removal of synthetic Congo red wastewater and sludge volume formation was investigated. It was found that pH 3 was the best pH for coagulation due to charge neutralization mechanism of leucaena protein. Furthermore the highest removal was obtained at dosage 420 mg L− 1 with 80% removal. This result was comparable with crude extract of leucaena with half settling time (20 min) and lower increase of permanganate value, indicating lower increase of dissolved organics in the treated water.

The obtained magnetic coagulant was furthermore characterized using SEM, XRD, FTIR, and TEM, to observe the characteristics before and after protein adsorption. Furthermore the effect of pH (2.0 to 10.0) and coagulant dosage (60 to 600 mg L-1) to the removal of synthetic Congo red wastewater and sludge volume formation was investigated. It was found that pH 3.0 was the best pH for coagulation due to charge neutralization mechanism of leucaena protein.

Digitalization has rapidly changed consumer behavior. People can easily buy items from the internet, including groceries, without having to pay for them. Due to this demand, several e-grocery platforms have emerged. High competition in the e-grocery industry is forcing the company to adopt a new marketing strategy. This study examined factors that might affect customer satisfaction with products or services provided by e-groceries. Moreover, the study was conducted to gather a more comprehensive view of online grocery purchasing in Indonesia by combining shopping value and e-service quality that impact customer satisfaction, repurchase intention, and e-WOM purchase and purchase value in Indonesia and the U.S. It shows that shopping value (utilitarian and hedonistic) and e-service quality have a positive impact on customer satisfaction. Moreover, if customer satisfaction is fulfilled, this leads to repurchase intentions and a positive word-of-mouth response to a customer's satisfaction level. A quantitative method was used in this study with the following criteria for respondents: they must live in Jabodetabek and have used e-grocery in the past three months. The data were simulated using the SMART PLS 4 software.
Natural coagulants from plants resources have gained a lot of attention as it is renewable, biodegradable, non-hazardous, lower cost, and less sludge generated compared to chemical coagulants. However there are still some drawbacks, namely long settling time and possible increase of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the treated water. In this paper we tried to address these drawbacks by utilizing citrate modified Fe3O4 to adsorb protein from Leucaena leucocephala as the active coagulating agent. The effect of trisodium citrate concentration and protein adsorption pH to the adsorbed protein was investigated.

The obtained magnetic coagulant was furthermore characterized using SEM, XRD, FTIR, and TEM, to observe the characteristics before and after protein adsorption. Furthermore the effect of pH (2-10) and coagulant dosage (60-600 mg. L-1) to the removal of synthetic Congo red wastewater and sludge volume formation was investigated. It was found that pH 3.0 was the best pH for coagulation due to charge neutralization mechanism of leucaena protein. Furthermore the highest removal was obtained at dosage 420mg.
