Pengaruh Konsentrasi Surfaktan Non-Ionik Terhadap Viskositas Perekat Polivinil Asetat Berbasis Air: Effect of Non-Ionic Surfactant on Water-Based Adhesive Viscosity
Substrate combining could be done by using adhesive. In Indonesia, especially industrial field, solvent base adhesives were still being developed. This kind of adhesive was not environmental friendly and not safe handling. Therefore, Polyvinyl Acetate (PVAc) water-based adhesive was prepared as an outcome of this research as one of solution to overcome the problem above. Effect of surfactant concentration on the viscosity was aimed at this research. Semi continuous polymerization with stirring motor rates on 50 – 500 rpm was used (optional). Pressure of 1 atm, 750C temperature, 5 – 6 hours reaction time for each was used as polymerization operation in this research. Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM), partial hydrolysis Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVOH), water, Ammonium Persulfate (APS) were prepared as raw material. NP-10 and NP-06 were non-ionic surfactants which each concentration was varied in this research. Water-based adhesive with NP-06 concentration variation resulting in viscosity from 98 m.Pa for 0.17 %wt concentration to 213 m.Pa for 0.68 %wt concentration. While NP-10 concentration variation resulting viscosity from 143 m.Pa for 0.17 %wt to 321 m.Pa for 0.68 %wt concentration. Therefore, adhesive with NP-10 surfactant concentration variable has a higher viscosity rate than NP-06 ones.

Konversi Karat Besi Menjadi Besi (III) Sulfat dan Pemanfaatannya Sebagai Adsorpsi Pewarna Tekstil: Iron Rust to Iron (III) Sulphate Conversion and the Utilization as Textile Dye Adsoption
Iron rust was an iron oxide compound that was less attractive, dirty, brown in color, and could pollute the environment, causing water to turn brown. To minimize iron contamination, conversion was carried out into iron (III) sulfate which was useful as an adsorbent for textile dyes. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sulfuric acid concentration and volume of H2O2 10% used to convert iron rust into optimal iron (III) sulfate compounds. The method used was a laboratory experiment on a batch scale and the hydrate content in iron (III) sulfate was carried out by the gravimetric method and its ability as an adsorbent was carried out based on the adsorption of dyes using the spectrophotometric method. The results showed that a reactor filled with 3 grams of iron rust powder and 100 mL of sulfuric acid was stirred at 425 rpm at 80 0C for 30 minutes, added 15 ml 10% H2O2 followed by stirring and heating until the solution was saturated, cooled to form crystals. The crystalline yield in these conditions was the increase in sulfuric acid concentration which resulted in low process efficiency, namely 30.34% at 50% sulfuric acid concentration and 15 mL 10% H2O2. The addition of 10% H2O2 solution to 50 mL of 20% sulfuric acid solution and 3.0 grams of a carat as much as 5 mL-10 mL 10% H2O2 produced iron (III) sulfate with 26.53% process efficiency. Iron (III) sulfate is a white, light gray crystal with the chemical formula Fe2 (SO4)3.5 H2O which was a rhombic shaped crystal. and able to absorb the dye which showed that 1.0 g of iron (III) sulfate was able to absorb the highest amount of red dye in a volume of 100 mL of textile dye solution.

Pengaruh Kadar Air dan Kadar Asam Lemak Bebas Terhadap Masa Simpan Minyak Kelapa Mandar: The Influence of Water Content and Free Fatty Acid Content on Mandar Coconut Oil Shelf Life
Mandar coconut oil made in Tulu village, Majene Regency, West of Sulawesi, is very popular among Sulawesi Barat people. It is because of the unique aroma which is not owned by other Mandar oil traders. In addition, according to Mandar coconut oil trader who is also the produsen of Mandar oil said that his coconut oil could be stored for months. This research aimed to know the influence of water content and free fatty acid content on Mandar coconut oil shelf life. Gravimetric Method and Alkaline method were used to determine the water content and the free fatty acid content respectively. The oil was stored at room temperature. Water content and free acid content were measured every week, i.e week zero to week four (5 observations). Shelf life estimation was done by applying the kinetic theory. The result shows that the water content and the free fatty acid content increase as shelf life increases. Mandar coconut oil can be stored at room temperature for 1 month, 12 days.

Perbandingan Kadar Albumin Ikan Gabus (Channa striata) dari Proses Perebusan dan Pengukusan dengan Menggunakan Uji Biuret: Comparison of Cork Fish (Channa striata) Albumin Content from Boiling and Steaming Process by Using Biuret Test
Cork Fish (Channa striata) is a freshwater fish that was spread throughout most of Indonesia and it contains albumin that was beneficial to the human body. Albumin was easily dissolved in water during the cooking process both boiled and steamed. This study aims to determine the influence of boiling and steaming times at 100oC against albumin content of cork fish that lost and left in fish meat. The times of boiling and steaming that was used to processing the fish were 10, 15, and 20 minutes. The albumin concentration that lost and left in for the boiling and the steaming process was determined by the biuret test that used a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at albumin maximum wavelength of 530 nm. The results showed that albumin content that lost for 10 minutes boiling process (62 mg/10g) was smaller than the other boiling times and albumin left in fish meat was 164 mg/10g. The same result was also obtained at 10 minutes steaming process which results left in albumin content of 167 mg/10g and lost albumin of 62 mg/10g. The albumin content that lost or dissolved in water for the steaming process was smaller than the boiling process, therefore the steaming process is more efficient than the boiling process at cork fish processing.
