Abstract

Water is one of the most essential natural resources for living organisms. Tonjong Village is a residential, agricultural, and fish farming area. According to the test results from the Environmental Laboratory Unit of the Environmental Agency, the groundwater quality in Tonjong Village shows the following physical and chemical parameters: TDS 3352 mg/L, TSS 11 mg/L, pH 6.85, Hardness (CaCO?) 1100 mg/L, COD 9.34 mg/L, and BOD 2.40 mg/L. This study aims to reduce TDS and water hardness using a multi-stage treatment method. The research consists of three stages: the preliminary stage, the equipment fabrication stage, and the testing stage. The results indicate a decrease in TDS from 3352 mg/L to 1380 mg/L and a reduction in hardness using material variation 2 from 1100 mg/L to 752.5 mg/L.

Abstract

Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) provide different characteristics to the produced plastics. The focus of this research is to identify the influence of variations in the composition of polyethylene and polypropylene to produce a new polymer blend with strong mechanical properties and resistance to breaking. Quality parameters observed include tensile strength and flexural modulus tests, notched Izod impact, hardness, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). It has been found that the PP:PE (80:20) produces plastic with strong mechanical characteristics while being less prone to breakage, thus making it suitable for plasticware materials.
