This study aims to examine the reaction rate of phosphate removal from synthetic P waste through FTW. The water plants used were water jasmine (Echinodorus palifolius) and banana (Helliconia psittaforum). Four FTW ponds are filled with synthetic P waste. The first pond is a control pond, while the second pond is filled with FTW without plants, and the third and fourth ponds are filled with each of the aquatic plants mentioned above. The study was conducted from July to mid-August 2019. Water samples were taken in four pools five times in the first week, three times in the second week and twice in the third to sixth weeks. The parameters measured are water temperature, pH, Oxidative Reductive Potential (ORP) and phosphate. The data analysis carried out was calculating the phosphate reaction rate for each measured sample. The rate of phosphate decreases in proportion to the decrease in phosphate concentration in the test pond. Aquatic plants have been proven to remove phosphate from synthetic waste by using it as a nutrient for plant growth
Pengaruh Perbandingan Massa Silikon/Silika terhadap Karbon pada Kinerja Anode Baterai Litium Ion dari Sekam Padi
Get PDFThis study aims to investigate the possible utilization of silica (SiO2) and silicon (Si) derived from rice husks as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). SiO2 and Si have impressive theoretical capacities of 1965 and 4200 mAh/g, respectively. However, their direct use as LIBs anodes faces challenges such as substantial volume changes during battery charging and discharging, as well as low electrical conductivity. Consequently, a common approach is to create nanostructures of SiO2 and Si, such as nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanotubes, and combine them with conductive matrices like carbon-based materials. In this study, the Si/SiO2/C composite was synthesized from rice husks, taking into account the mass ratio of Si/SiO2 to C. The process involved first separating SiO2 and C from rice husks and then synthesizing the composite using the ball mill method and activated molten salt aluminothermic reduction (AlCl3/NaCl). X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the successful synthesis of the composite, as indicated by characteristic peaks of the constituent compounds. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) imaging showed non-uniform morphology with varying particle sizes. Tests results demonstrated that the Si/SiO2/C composite with a 3:1 ratio exhibited the most promising performance as a LIB anode, maintaining a high capacity of 280.48 mAh/g with a Coulombic Efficiency (CE) of 99% after 50 testing cycles. These findings suggest that silica and silicon compounds derived from rice husks hold great potential as efficient and durable anode materials for LIBs applications
