Abstract

Electrolyte membrane of fuel cell is the main component that plays a role in separating the reactants and being a means of transporting hydrogen ions produced by the anode reaction to the cathode so that the reaction at the cathode produces electrical energy. Chitosan/PVA/Nanobentonite based membrane was made of natural bentonite form Karang Tengah, Bogor. The study was conducted to know the effect of particle size of doping materials added to chitosan/PVA membrane for fuel cell. The method used in the experiment was casting method with variation of concentration of sulfonated bentonite. Then, membranes were namely C/PVA/n-ben 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9. The membrane that had been synthesized was identified by swelling test, proton conductivity test and cation exchange capacity test then characterized by FTIR, SEM and XRD. The result of the experiment showed the best swelling test was presented on the membrane with concentration of 0.9% sulfonated bentonite by 62.79% and the best proton conductivity test was shown on a membrane with a concentration of 0.6% sulfonated bentonite which was 2.24 x 10-6 S/cm, supported by the result of the cation exchange capacity data.

Abstract

Diazinon is a very toxic pesticide for animals and humans that is widely used in the agricultural sector, so this pollutant needs to be reduced or eliminated in the environment through photodegradation using photocatalysts derived from metal oxides. The catalytic activity of metal oxides is enhanced by adding a support material and increasing the surface area by reducing the particle size to nano size. In this study, kaolin as a source of Al2O3 and golden snail shells as a source of CaO which used to synthesize Al2O3-CaO nanoparticles (NPs) with a simple and environmentally friendly method using plant infusions. Synthesis of Al2O3-CaO NPs using infused red guava leaves (Psidium guajava L.) had been done by utilized the secondary metabolites as reducing agents and stabilizers in the nanoparticle synthesis. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of alumina (Al-O) groups at wave numbers 850 – 650 cm-1 and CaO at 3642 cm-1. XRD analysis showed NPs Al2O3-CaO had cubic with the crystal size of 14.59 nm. The morphology of Al2O3-CaO NPs showed in the SEM pictures were agglomerated. Al2O3-CaO NPs degraded diazinon by 75% within 180 minutes under UV radiation. Thus, this research not only reduce waste material, but also reduces water pollutant.

Abstract

Chili is a strategic agricultural commodity that has high economic value and makes a real contribution to the national economy. The biggest problem in the chili trade system is price stabilization. Unstable prices occur when there is a change in supply volume. Based on BPS data in 2021, North Sumatra is the largest chili center outside Java with a contribution of 14.16%. Followed by West Sumatra and Aceh contributing 8.27% and 4.6% respectively. The center for red chili production in North Sumatra Province is Batu Bara Regency, which has an area of 982 ha with a productivity of 8 tons/hectare for red chilies, apart from Karo, Simalungun and Dairi. One way to overcome the chili problem in Batu Bara Regency is with the Rumah Produksi Bersama (RPB) program, which is a place for micro and small business actors to carry out joint production activities with similar product commodities, dependence on similar workforce skills, or the use of complementary technologies. Apart from that, RPB is a promotion for regional government investment in developing their region (Regional Branding) in addition to differentiating products and increasing value. For this reason, a Feasibility Study Method for the RPB KUKM for chili commodities in Batu Bara Regency, North Sumatra Province is needed, including through location, Production, Marketing, Financial and Management analysis as well as reviewing the regional image. Based on the results of the feasibility study, it was found that the location of the RPB is in chili, Lubuk Cuik Village, Limapuluh Pesisir District, Batu Bara Regency, North Sumatra Province, which is not far from the chili center in Batu Bara Regency. To achieve feasibility in accordance with the capabilities of RPB cutlery, it must be able to produce a minimum of 20 tons per month or around 240 tons per year with this production NPV, IRR and PP can be said to be feasible. Meanwhile, marketing is carried out B2B and B2C for potential offtakers, apart from building public-private partnerships and involving all key stakeholders, with the main player being the government.
