Pemanfaatan Ekstrak Biji Feun Kase (Thevetia peruviana) sebagai Inhibitor Korosi Logam Seng dalam Media HCl
Get PDFFeun Kase seed extract can be used as a corrosion inhibitor on zinc metal in HCl solution. This study aims to determine the secondary metabolites contained in Feun Kase seed extract, inhibition efficiency and corrosion rate, and surface morphology of zinc metal in the inhibition process using Feun Kase seed extract in HCl media. Feun Kase seed extract was obtained by maceration extraction using methanol. In the corrosion inhibition test, the concentration and temperature variations were carried out to determine the effect on the inhibition efficiency and the corrosion rate per year. The results showed that the methanol extract of Feun Kase seeds contained secondary metabolites of alkaloids, flavonoids and saponins. The optimum inhibition efficiency was obtained at an inhibitor concentration of 30 ppm of 82.70% with a corrosion rate of 5.80 mm/year and at a temperature of 35ºC of 75.84% with a corrosion rate of 7.28 mm/year in the test of increasing the temperature of the corrosion medium. The morphological analysis of the zinc plate using the SEM instrument showed that the zinc plate without surface treatment (not immersed in HCl media) was still smooth. This is indicated by the surface of the zinc plate which is still clearly visible because it has not been affected by the corrosion medium. The zinc plate when immersed in HCl media, is damaged which is indicated by the presence of pores or holes. Zinc plate when added with Feun Kase seed extract in HCl media, the zinc surface was damaged but the damage was not as prominent as in HCl media without using an inhibitor
Sintesis Cepat Nanopartikel Perak dengan Irradiasi Gelombang Mikro dan Aplikasinya sebagai Antibakteri pada Kain Katun
Get PDFSilver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are silver metal particles with nanoscale size. In the scale, they generate different properties compared to the original particle or material. AgNPs can be synthesized in several ways, one of which is through chemical reduction. This method is accelerated by heating, usually using conventional heating. However, the heating takes time, so it is less effective for application. In this study, AgNPs were synthesized by chemical reduction with sodium citrate as a reducing agent accompanied by microwave irradiation to speed up the synthesis process. The resulting AgNPs were then applied to cotton fabric as an antibacterial agent. The reaction lasted for 6 minutes, much faster than using conventional heating. The synthesized particles have an average size of 56.2 nm and are stable for up to 41 days of storage. The AgNPs then can be applied to cotton fabric and inhibit the growth of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa bacteria with a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of 70%

Get PDFThis research, the caffeine extract of arabica coffee beans, cacao beans, and black tea leaves will be tested as a corrosion inhibitor on aluminium in an acidic environment and in biodiesel containing acid. This condition resembles the metabolism of microorganisms in biodiesel which produces H2SO4 as one of the causes of corrosion. Arabica coffee, cacao beans and black tea are natural organic ingredients containing caffeine which can inhibit corrosion. In the maceration process used a variable ratio of 70% ethanol solvent with organic matter, namely 225 grams of organic matter with 450 grams of ethanol and 150 grams of organic matter with 450 grams of ethanol. Concentration of caffeine extract from arabika coffee, cacao beans, and black tea leaves was obtained based on HPLC analysis at an effluent rate of 0.8 mL/min. The corrosion inhibition efficiency test on aluminium was observed at 0, 1, 4, 7 and 10 days of immersion. The previously used aluminium has been corroded with 12% H2SO4. The corrosion inhibition efficiency test on aluminium was observed at 0, 1, 4, 7 and 10 days of immersion. The best inhibitor results on aluminium soaked in biosolar containing 12% H2SO4 is tea 1.234,313 ppm with a corrosion rate of 1.6x10-4 g/cm2 day on day 1 to 2.5x10-4 g/ cm2 day on day 10 with an inhibition efficiency of 99%. While the aluminium soaked in H2SO4 12% is tea containing caffeine of 684.373 ppm with a corrosion rate of 1.3 x10-4 g/ cm2 day on day 1 to 3.3x10-4 g/ cm2 day on day 10 with an inhibition efficiency of 64%. The longer the immersion time of aluminium in H2SO4 media with the addition of organic inhibitors, the lower the corrosion rate value because the inhibitors form a layer that protects the aluminium

Get PDFThe thermal properties of the double perovskite SmBa0.5Sr0.5Co2O5+δ (70%) + SDC (30%) have been investigated as potential cathodes for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC). This study also includes the oxygen content and electrochemical performance of long-term tests carried out to evaluate the electrochemical stability. Cathode powder is fabricated by a simple and relatively inexpensive solid-state reaction. Oxygen content decreased gradually from room temperature to 800oC by 18.3%. Doping 30% SDC into SBSC oxide can reduce the thermal expansion coefficients (TEC) value from 19.80 x 10-6 (K-1) to 18.17 x 10-6 (K-1) or a decrease of 8.23%. The activation energy (Ea) identified by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), low field (LF), and high field (HF) techniques were 125.3 kJ mol-1, 60.6 kJ mol-1, and 62.5 kJ mol-1, respectively. The SBSC73|SDC|SBSC73 symmetric cell test for 96 hours at 600oC showed an increase in the average polarization resistance value of 0.30% h-1. The cathode grains are evenly distributed with a size of 2-3 µm and tend to be porous. These results exhibit that SmBa0.5Sr0.5Co2O5+δ (70%) + SDC (30%) is a promising cathode material for IT-SOFCs

Get PDFThe textile industry including batik has provided broad benefits to society from an economic standpoint. However, there is negative impact from wastewater generated in the production process, which is containing dyes. Various types of dyes are used in the coloring process, and methylene blue is one of most used dye. Various ways have been done to treat wastewater containing methylene blue. Methylene blue processing techniques by adsorption have been carried out with various types of adsorbents. Research on the comparison of the ability of commercial activated charcoal and commercial activated zeolite to adsorb methylene blue was carried out with the addition of an Fe catalyst and a hydrogen peroxide oxidizer. The results showed that the addition of Fe catalyst would increase the degradation of methylene blue in the waste either with activated charcoal or activated zeolite. The combination of using Fe catalyst and hydrogen peroxide oxidizer further increases the removal of methylene blue in both types of adsorbents, activated charcoal and activated zeolite. Activated zeolite has the better ability to adsorb methylene blue than activated charcoal under various conditions
