Abstract

This work studied examined the influence of ammonium acetate (CH3COONH4) on CMC/PVA-based solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) membranes, focusing on molecular vibration, proton conductivity, and physicochemical properties. SPE membranes were prepared via the casting solution method with varying CH3COONH4 concentrations to determine the optimal proton conductivity. Various characterizations, including FTIR, EIS, XRD, and TGA, were performed. The optimal membrane condition was achieved with 10 wt-% CH3COONH4 in the CMC/PVA (80/20) blend, yielding proton conductivity of 3.93×10⁻⁴ S/cm and favorable mechanical, thermal, and crystallinity properties, making it suitable for proton-conducting polymer applications. Keywords: ammonium acetate, carboxymethyl cellulose, ionic conductivity, poly(vinyl alcohol), proton battery, solid electrolyte membrane

Abstract

This research aims to prepare the proton-conducting solid electrolyte membrane based on carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) complexed with ammonium acetate (CH3COONH4). The membranes were prepared by using casting solution technique where the various weight percentages of ammonium acetate mixed to CMCh for obtaining optimum condition based on ionic conductivity analysis. Some characterizations were conducted to analysis the functional groups (involving complexation studies), ionic conductivities, mechanical properties, crystallinities, and thermal analysis by using FTIR, EIS, tensile tester, XRD, and TGA. The results showed that the optimum proton conductivity was obtained at the addition of 40% (w/w) CH3COONH4 salt as high as 1.39×10-4 S/cm and a tensile strength of 9.06 MPa. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the optimum condition of the membrane shows good characteristics to be applied as a proton conducting solid electrolyte. Keywords: Ammonium acetate, carboxymethyl chitosan, polymer electrolyte, proton conductivity, proton-conducting membrane

Abstract

This study addresses the issue of low active participation among students in chemistry learning, as well as their difficulties in understanding macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic concepts, which contribute to unsatisfactory learning outcomes. To tackle these challenges and enhance students' performance in chemistry, a valid, practical, and effective IPSIA learning model was developed. The research employed a development approach based on the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) model, beginning with a thorough analysis of the curriculum. This was followed by the design of the IPSIA model, which was validated using a questionnaire instrument. The results of the validity test scored 98, categorizing it as "very good." Additionally, the practical test of the IPSIA model also received a score of 98, indicating that it is user-friendly. During the implementation phase, the effectiveness of the model was assessed through test results. The improvement in students' chemistry learning was evidenced by normalized gain scores: 0.57 for the control class and 0.72 for the experimental class at Senior High School (SMA) 2 Padangsidimpuan, as well as 0.52 for the control class and 0.64 for the experimental class at SMA 5 Padangsidimpuan. These findings demonstrate that the IPSIA learning model is valid, practical, and effective in improving students' chemistry learning outcomes.

Abstract

Abstract. The Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) process with chemical techniques carried out by injecting chemicals such as surfactants, can be an alternative to increase oil production, especially in old oil wells. This study investigated the best formulation of non-ionic surfactants based on the mole ratio of oleic acid and PEG-400 as well as catalyst types such as KOH and p-TSA 1%, which are used in surfactant synthesis to be able to increase oil production. The tests carried out are the value of acid, saponification, ester, and iodine, FTIR, NMR as well as a test of compatibility, phase behavior, and IFT. The results showed that the best formulation of ester polyethylene glycol oleate with reaction temperature conditions of 130oC was at a mole ratio of 1: 4 using a 1% p-TSA catalyst with a value of acid is 3,61 mg KOH/g, saponification is 144,12 mg KOH/g, ester is 140,51 mg KOH/g and iodine is 76,70 g I2/100 g. The compatibility tests and phase behavior show that this surfactant can be developed in chemical EOR with an IFT value of 2,6 x 10-1 mN/m. Keywords: Enhanced oil recovery, oleic acid, solid-state catalysts, synthesis

Abstract

Although zircon sand, a byproduct of tin mining in Bangka and Belitung, is abundant and rich in zirconium content, it remains underutilized despite its potential for conversion into value-added products. This study aims to explore the feasibility of using Bangka and Belitung zircon sand as raw materials for the synthesis and characterization of zirconium oxychloride octahydrate (ZrOCl2·8H2O), and to evaluate its properties relative to a commercial reference. A hydrometallurgical process involving alkaline fusion and acid leaching was employed to convert zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4) into ZrOCl2·8H2O. Comprehensive characterization was conducted using X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and particle size analysis. The results revealed that Bangka zircon sand contains a higher zirconium content (79.12%) than Belitung sand (76.97%). Both sources exhibited lower zirconium purity and higher chlorine content compared to a reference. Despite these limitations, the total Zr and Cl content reached 88.12% for the Bangka sample and 86.08% for the Belitung sample, indicating promising potential. Both products shared similar structural and morphological features in different sizes. Belitung-derived ZrOCl2·8H2O exhibited a higher ZrOCl2·8H2O phase, more defined morphology, and smaller size, suggesting it has better properties as a precursor in zirconium-based applications. This study supports the valorization of mining byproducts and highlights the potential of local zircon sand as a raw material for zirconium-based applications.
