Abstract

Successfully made adsorbent of activated carbon made from purple corn cob which aims to minimize ammonia (NH3) levels found in water in fish farming with cage ponds. Activated carbon using carbonization method with a change in temperature that is between 550°C, 600°C, and 650°C and activation using Na2CO3 solution as activator. Activated carbon that has been obtained has exceeded the standard of SNI No.06-3730-1995, with characteristics including carbon yield ranging from 79.71% to 89.85%, moisture content ranging from 11.3% to 25.4%, volatile matter content ranging from 10.10% to 24.5%, ash content ranging from 9.7% to 9.9%, and fixed carbon content ranging from 65.7% to 79.7%. Then test results were obtained such as CO2 functional groups were found to enhance the adsorption process. Activated carbon displays the presence of a predominantly amorphous structure but also revealed a crystalline carbon structure. The highest peak was obtained at 29.7° with Miller index (201). The activated carbon displays the presence of pores on the scattered surface with carbon elements dominating. Adsorption mechanism to reduce ammonia (NH3) using activated carbon due to intermolecular interaction process. So that when testing the application for ammonia absorption, the best results were obtained in the sample with an adsorbent mass of 1.50 g at a carbonization temperature of 650°C with an adsorption capacity value of 546.34 mg/g and ammonia reduction of 82%. This research can open up opportunities for the potential development of new materials, especially for fish farming through cage techniques.

Abstract

The growing demand for safe storage in public places has highlighted the flaws of single-factor authentication methods such as RFID, which are vulnerable to cloning. This study solves these security weaknesses by building and implementing a safe, low-cost IoT locker with a strong two-factor authentication (2FA) mechanism. The suggested method combines Indonesia's national ID card (e-KTP) for initial RFID-based access with a dynamic One-Time Password (OTP) sent to the user's smartphone via the Blynk IoT platform. The NodeMCU ESP8266-based prototype underwent extensive reliability, performance, and security testing. The results showed that both e-KTP and OTP validation were 100% accurate. The performance research revealed an average OTP delivery time of 5.6 seconds and a total access time of 28.2 seconds. Crucially, security analysis confirmed that the required second factor (OTP) effectively prevented unauthorized access even when the e-KTP was cloned. This study confirms a realistic and scalable two-factor authentication system that considerably increases locker security over single-factor techniques.

Abstract

Hydrogel technology can be used as a solution for indoor growing media. Hydrogel is a three-dimensional polymer network with cross-linked hydrophilic polymers, which are capable of swelling or storing water and physiological solutions up to thousands of times their dry weight, and are not easily soluble. To increase knowledge about ornamental plant cultivation using hydrogel media, a service was carried out by using partners at the Madrasah Aliyah Swasta Muhammadiyah Sidomulyo. This service aims to provide solutions to partners in the form of alternative hydrogel-based planting media made from alginate that are environmentally friendly which can be used as moisture and nutrient control agents. This goal is achieved through outreach activities, training, and the application of alternative planting media on ornamental plants. The target of the results to be achieved is to increase the economic value of hydrogels and to foster the entrepreneurial spirit of the students of Madrasah Aliyah Swasta Muhammadiyah Sidomulyo.

Abstract

Organic pollutants, including pesticides and industrial waste, have become a significant environmental challenge due to their persistence and difficulty in decomposition, posing serious threats to both environmental health and water quality. This issue is particularly pressing in regions like Penang, where rapid industrial development and urbanization have exacerbated water pollution. In response, various research efforts have explored potential solutions, with graphite emerging as an effective adsorbent for removing toxic compounds from water. Building on this, our study focuses on the synthesis of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), a material recognized for its high-performance photocatalytic properties. g-C3N4's unique structure and ability to harness solar energy make it a promising candidate for catalyzing the breakdown of organic pollutants into less harmful molecules. Our project aims to develop a cost-effective and scalable method for producing g-C3N4 using readily available materials, with the goal of mitigating organic pollution in Penang. Through a straightforward synthesis process, we seek to make this technology accessible for widespread adoption in water treatment practices. The successful synthesis of g-C3N4 has already been demonstrated, with the process being effectively shared with students from the School of Chemical Science at USM. While further refinements are needed to maximize results, our findings suggest that g-C3N4 can play a crucial role in reducing organic pollution and improving water quality, contributing to the long-term sustainability of Penang's environment.

Nowadays, most of human activities are related to the use of technology. The invention of various innovative ideas that simplify human life is essential. One of the uses advancement technologies can applied in agricultural field, especially for irrigation processes since it becomes the critical step in agricultural activity since it ensures that plants receive an adequate water. Due to the importance of irrigation, this community service activity aimed to provide information on how to build a solar pump for irrigation purposes and implement an innovative solar water pump with automatic water level control to improve the efficiency of irrigation of rice fields in Bekiung Village. The system is designed using solar panels as the main energy source, minimizing dependence on conventional electricity and fossil fuels. With the integration of water level sensor and automatic control system, the pump is able to adjust the water supply in real-time based on the actual needs of rice plants. Field tests show that the system is able to provide water consistently and efficiently, reducing water and energy wastage. The implementation of this technology not only improves irrigation efficiency, but also supports environmentally friendly sustainable agriculture. The results of this study are expected to serve as a model for other villages facing similar challenges in irrigation water management.

Abstract

A candlenut peeling machine is a technological innovation aimed at improving the efficiency of separating candlenut seeds from their shells. Hand-peeling candlenuts requires a lot of time and effort, and it carries a high risk of damaging the candlenut kernels due to uneven impact. This candlenut peeling machine is equipped with a mechanism that reduces seed damage and increases productivity. The machine can be operated manually or semi-automatically and works on the principle of utilizing pressure and friction to break the shell without damaging the seeds inside. Experimental results show that this machine has a high success rate in separating candlenut seeds from their shells and reduces the number of damaged seeds compared to traditional methods. The use of this machine aims to increase the productivity of candlenut farmers and add value to the candlenut processing industry.
