PHOTOCATALYTIC DEGRADATION OF INDIGO CARMINE BY TiO2/ACTIVATED CARBON DERIVED FROM WASTE COFFEE GROUNDS
Get PDFTiO2/activated carbon derived from waste coffee grounds (TiO2/WCGAC) has been prepared by a sol gel method . Waste coffee ground was chemically activated using hydrochloric acid 0.1 M solution and modified with titanium tetraisopropoxide as TiO2 precursor. The structural features of the photocatalyst was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption. The XRD results showed that TiO2 is anatase and rutile phase, while FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of Ti-O groups. The specifics surface area of TiO2/WCGAC was higher than that of activated carbon derived from waste coffee grounds. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2/WGCAC has been evaluated for degradation of indigo carmine solution under UV and solar light irradiation. It was found that degradation percentage of indigo carmine under solar light was higher than that of under UV light
SINTESIS MEMBRAN POLIURETAN BERBASIS MINYAK BIJI ALPUKAT (Avocado Seed Oil) DAN HEKSAMETILEN-1,6-DIISOSIANAT (HMDI)
Get PDFThis research aims to synthesize polyurethane membrace from avocado seed oil as a source of hydrixyl (-OH) and hexametylhene -1.6-dissocyanate (HDMI) as a source of isocynate (-NCO). The oil were extracted from avocado seeds at temperature of 60-80oC for 2 hours using n-hexane solvent. The results of FTIR spectrum analysis from avocado seed oil showed that there were -OH clusters absorption on the wavelength number of 3393.819 cm-1, thus this oil can be used to synthesize polyurethane membrane. The isocyanate composition, time and temperature during synthesis process of polyurethane membrane were varied. The polyurethane membrane were moulded in petri dishes, then heated up for 48 hours on the temperature of 70oC, and finally taken out from its mould. The characteristics of the polyurethane membrane from avocado seed oil are brown in colour, homogenous, elastic, solid, transparent and shaped like a membrane. The measurements from FTIR spectrum showed that the -NCO clusters are no longer present. This condition happened because there were no more absorption in the wavelength number of 2270 cm-1 . It can be concluded that the isocyanate has completely reacted during polymerization and the curing process, thus urethane was created in the 1699,965 cm-1 absorption which was the urethane C=O clusters absorption
THE DIFFERENT MAGNETIC RESULTS OF ANEMI AND PPM MEASUREMENTS ON THE BURIED REMAINS OF A 13TH CENTURY FORTRESS
Get PDFThis study aimed to evaluate the different magnetic results of an electromagnetic induction with proton magnetometer measurements on an archaeological site. The electromagnetic induction allows measuring both the apparent magnetic susceptibility in part per thousand (ppt) and the apparent electrical conductivity in millisiemens (mS/m). A proton magnetometer measures the total magnetic intensity in nanotesla (nT), caused by the induced and remanent magnetisations. An archaeological site where historical documents indicated the presence of a 13th century fortress that built by Lamuri Sultanate was selected as a test area. The measurement were conducted by divided the study area into 10 profiles.Some standard data processing have been applied to the measured data. The result of the first survey with electromagnetic induction showed low magnetic anomalies in the buried remains of Lamuri fortress. The similar value are shown as well by low magnetic field intensity in magnetometer measurement
SISTEM KENDALI PROPORSIONAL, INTEGRAL, DAN DERIVATIF (PID) PADA PERSAMAAN PANAS
Get PDFThis research showed the application of Proportional, Integral, and Derivative (PID) control system on heat equations that has non-integer ordered solutions on Laplace domain. Zala tuning method and Ziegler-Nichols method; which is ultimate cycle and process reaction method, are used to determine the value of Kp, Ti and Td as constants in PID to maintain the temperature of 1oC on the position of x = 3 m from the heat source with k = 0,042 m2s-1 diffusivity. Based on the results, there were ten systems that were closest in the desired criteria. With regards to overshoot and the time taken to reach the stable position, therefore the ten systems that are produced have not many differences in strengths and weaknesses

The data had been collected in nine belt transects by length 400 m and 400 m2 (10 m x 40 m) plots for each belt transect. The collecting data was including name of species, family, density, frequency and dominancy. The data was analyzed to get important value and diversity index. The result showed that there were 39 tree species belongs to 23 families found in the research area. There were three dominant species namely; Pterocarpus indicus, Pithecelobium dulce, dan Leucaena leucocephala which had higher important value than others species that lead influencing the ecosystem. The trees diversity index in this area was about 3,3 which interpreted this area has high diversity index. Moreover, the plants were planted in PT Arun NGL Housing Area have another function as reducing pollutant material in the air
MEMBRAN POLIURETAN DARI MINYAK BIJI KARET (RUBBER SEED OIL) DENGAN HEKSAMETILEN-1,6-DIISOSIANAT: SINTESIS
Get PDFPolyurethane membrane made from Rubber Seed Oil has been produced within this research. Rubber seed oil has the hydroxyl number of 40,33 mg/g and the iodine number of 154,05 g/g which can be used as resource clusters; -OH, in order to make polyurethane. Rubber seed oil can react with hexamethylene-1.6-diisocyanate (HDMI) as another resource cluster, which is -NCO. The production of polyurethane membrane is done by variating the composition of rubber seed oil and HDMI, with the variations of 5:1; 5:3; 5:4; 5:5 dan 5:7 (v/w) and the polymrization temperature of 90-100C and the curring temperature of 165-170C. The optimal polyurethane membrane is produced on the composition of 5:4 v/w which is homogenous, dry, quite elastic and is yellowish brown in colour. The IR results showed that there were urethan bonds formed (N-H on = 3300-3400 cm-1) and the TGA results from polyurethane membrane showed that there were two decompositions on 394,5oC dan 458,6oC

PENENTUAN KARAKTERISTIK PARIWISATA DAN MODEL JUMLAH WISATAWAN UNTUK KABUPATEN/KOTA DI PROVINSI ACEH
Get PDFTourism is one of the primary sectors that is expected to increase the regional government income. Therefore there is a need to observe the factors that affect the successfulness of tourism factors and products offered. Tourism products can be tourist destinations, where the characteristics of that particular destination can affect the decisions made by the tourist to return the place again. The characteristics of tourism in Aceh can be analyzed by using biplot analysis. Meanwhile, the effects of tourism characteristics on the number of tourists in Aceh from the year 2008 until 2013 is analyzed using panel data regression analysis that is approached by Fixed Effext Model (FEM). Based on the biplot graph, the cities that are superior in their number of all tourism products are Sabang and Banda Aceh. Cities other than these two cities tend to have a lower number of their tourism products. The biplot graph can explain the relationship between the variables of tourism products by 83.8%. Based on the model of fixed effect panel data, Aceh tourism products that affect the number of tourists in Aceh is the number of accommodations, restaurants, and tourist attractions. Fixed effect model explain correlation between the variables of tourism products to the number of tourists in Aceh by 78.8%
