Purpose: This work aims to study the water vapor adsorption property of fine silica particles from semi-burned rice husk ash. The semi-burned rice husk ash is selected as the raw material since it contains high silica and is easily found as a by-product of pottery furnace combustion. Design/methodology/approach: The silica adsorbent from semi-burned rice husk ash was prepared through a sol-gel method using various NaOH concentrations. In doing so, the different pH precipitation was also observed. Here, the fine silica powder was obtained by pulverizing dry sol-gel. The product characterizations were conducted based on water adsorption capacity at different air relative humidity. Findings: The results show no significant effects of different treatments in the extraction and gelation process. The fine silica particles exhibit large porous surfaces with agglomerated nano-sized particles that formed pores. This porous structure is related to the distributions of pore size of each sample, which mostly obey the mesoporous characteristics. From sorption isotherm, weak adsorbent-adsorbate bonding was observed and demonstrated multilayer adsorption of mesoporous materials. Research limitations/implications: The study of water adsorption was carried out at room temperature, which can change at any time, even though has no significant effect on the humidity. However, it is needed to study the adsorption in an incubated area to receive a constant temperature. Practical implications: The products namely silica prepared from semi-burned rice husk ash show a high moisture uptake, especially at a high relative humidity region. This property can be comparable with the other silica preparation methods. So, this product can be a highly potential adsorbent for air or gas dehumidification systems. Originality/value: The silica-based semi-burned rice husk ash as a water adsorbent is more sustainable than commercial silica. This is a positive contribution to find a potentially develop water vapor adsorbent with good adsorption capacity. Besides, the synthesis process is a simple and low-cost process.

Post-harvest handling / processing of fishery commodities requires large amounts of water and energy to overcome their perishable properties. Water is needed as raw/auxiliary material and to ensure that the production process and its environment meet the sanitary and hygiene principles. Meanwhile, large amount of energy is required for the transportation of raw materials and products, cold chain system during the process and operations of processing machines. They contribute towards the environmental impact of fish processing. This study used life cycle assessment to estimate the potential environmental impact of small scale mackerel fish processing. The results showed that the fish processing has contributed to 0.079 kg SO2 eq acidification potential, 9.66 kg CO2 eq climate changGWP 100, 0.02 kg PO4 eq Eutrophication-generic, 0.17 kg 1.4 DCB eq human toxicity-HTP inf, and 0.0015 kg ethylene eq photochemical oxidation-high NOx. Wastewater treatment implementation simulation showed elimination of direct emissions that contribute to eutrophication and increasing the potential of other process associated with energy consumption.

Act No. 26 of 2007 on Spatial Planning stated that the central and the local government should establish Spatial and Regional Planning (RTRW) by considering environmental carrying capacity. The environmental carrying capacity based RTRW will ensure the balance between the use of natural resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the environment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the implementation of RTRW at Solok Regency Year 2012–2031 which has been established in 2013. Evaluation was conducted by calculating land carrying capacity method to determine land supply and land demand. The results showed that the land use planned as stated in the RTRW increase the land supply in supporting bio-product production to meet the needs of the population, with surplus conditions amounted to 101,005.79 hectares. The future predictions indicated that the carrying capacity of planned land could met the needs of the population bio-product until the year 2121. The evaluation of the spatial pattern plan showed that there was a need to increase the area of housing and settlements in accordance with the rate of population increase and determine the extents area for the development of the livestock sector to improve its yield.
