Abstract

In the coloring process, the textile industry generally uses synthetic (artificial) dyes, methyl orange (MO). In this study, the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) dye with chitosan was investigated in a series of batch laboratory studies. The adsorption equilibrium study used a MO solution with a concentration of 10 to 50 mg/L with an adsorbent weight of 3 g put into an Erlenmeyer and shaken until the adsorption reached an equilibrium condition. Meanwhile, the adsorption kinetics used a MO solution with an initial concentration of 10 and 20 mg/L with a volume of 100 mL with an adsorbent weight of 3 g and the solution was adjusted to pH 2. Effective operating parameters such as pH, initial concentration of dye (C0) and contact time at adsorption has been investigated. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of methyl orange (MO) dye from chitosan increased with an increasing acid content, and it was found that a solution of pH 2 was the optimal pH value for MO adsorption. The adsorption parameters for the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were determined by nonlinear regression and the equilibrium data were best explained by the Langmuir isotherm model, this was indicated by the high value of the correlation coefficient (R2), which was 0.9595. The maximum adsorption capacity was 0.1297 mg/g. Adsorption kinetics can be successfully applied to pseudo second-order kinetic models. The pseudo second-order model results show that the adsorption process is controlled by chemical sorption (chemisorption).

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the processing of chitosan-pectin biocomposite hydrogel with the addition of citric acid to improve the quality of the biocomposite for primary wound dressing applications. The method is printing the biopolymer solution in a glass mold, then drying at 50oC. Chitosan 90.2% DD and pectin dissolved in 1% acetic acid with a ratio (w/w) of 50:50. The two ingredients were mixed using a magnetic stirrer at room temperature for 30 minutes until completely dissolved, then added citric acid crosslinking agent with various concentrations of 2,4, 6,8,10 (%). The test results for the characteristics of the chitosan-pectin-acid biocomposite Citrate obtained the best thickness in the composition variation (50:50:8) of 0.31 mm. The analysis results of the best absorption of the chitosan-pectin-citric acid biocomposite on the composition variation (50:50:6) were 185%. In the swelling analysis of the chitosan-pectin-citric acid biocomposite, the variation in composition (50:50:10) was 403%. The tensile strength test results of the chitosan-pectin-citric acid biocomposite decreased with the addition of citric acid, the best obtained was 20.76 MPa, and the best elongation was 76.0%. Test results for the functional group of the chitosan-pectin-CaCl2 biocomposite for the presence of O-H, C-H, N-H bonds in the fact of O-H, C-H, N-H bonds at a wavelength of 4000-2500 cm-1, C=O, C=N, C=C at a wavelength of 2000 -1500, and the specific absorption of the chitosan-pectin-citric acid biocomposite 400-1400 cm-1 indicates that the resulting membrane tends to be polar, hydrophilic and environmentally friendly because it can be degraded. Based on the expected test results, it was shown that the chitosan-pectin-CaCl2 biocomposite has the potential to be applied as an ideal primary wound dressing for wound healing and protection.

Abstract

The challenges for searching and utilizing  of new and sustainable energy sources especially solar cell electricity. The major obstacle of using solar cells for electricity generation has been a much higher price when compared to the price of electricity generated from the traditional sources. The photovoltaic industry needs to put an enormous pressure and optimization at every stage of the photovoltaic manufacturing chain of multicrystalline silicon wafer solar cell processing  in order to reduce cost.  Processing of multicrystalline silicon solar cells  is starting by silicon wafer preparation, etching and texturing,  saw damage etching, surface texturing, phosphor diffusion edge isolation, phosphor diffusion, edge isolation, silicon nitride deposition for antireflection coating, and metallization process that consist of screen printing ag front side, screen printing of al back side, drying and firing and formation al back surface contact.  Mechanical stability of silicon wafer became a serious issue due to reduction of wafer thickness, so probability for wafer to breakage is high; investigate the mechanism of wafer breakage is important to reduce breakage. The present of micro cracks reduces the mechanical strength of wafer significantly and wafer breakage will increase, because crack will start from the existing micro crack and that will propagate easier with presence of the stress. Mechanical stability is increase significantly after the etching process; on the other hand the screen printing process will reduce wafer strength.  Etching of saw damage, that is induced during wafer slicing, and metallization of the surfaces are 2 crucial processing steps in the manufacturing of mc-silicon solar cells

Abstract

Samudera Pasai is one of the Islamic Sultanates in Indonesia which appeared in the Middle Ages or around 1267 AD. Evidence of the existence of the Sultanate of Samuedra Pasai in Indonesia is listed in the book Rihlah ilal-Masyriq (Wanderings to the East) written by Abu Abdullah Ibnu Batutha (1304 - 1368 AD), a Muslim adventurer who traveled to Samudera Pasai in 1345 AD. The spatial pattern of the Samudera Pasai Sultanate is no longer visible because there are no traces of archaeological remains in the form of any remaining buildings, except for the tombs of Sultanate figures and historical records of foreign adventurers who have explored the Samudera Pasai Sultanate. This record strengthens the evidence of the existence of the Samudera Pasai Sultanate. The methodology used in this case is a phenomenological approach and a historical approach, which are expected to approach optimal results in uncovering spatial patterns in the development of Islam. The spatial arrangement of the sultanate generally used the concept of catur gatra tungga, which was arranged in the form of: alun-alun (the square) as the center of space, markets to the north of the square, palaces to the south of the square, and mosques to the west of the square. The spatial arrangement then formed a spatial pattern that became the center of the Samudera Pasai Sultanate.

Abstract

Activated carbon that potentially acts as an adsorbent was prepared from granulated sugar. The activated sugar was prepared through a dehydration process followed by a chemical activation process with a concentrated NaOH solution. To comprehend the properties of prepared ready carbon, characterization of the carbon was needed to be conducted. The conducted methods for prepared activated carbon were FTIR for detecting present functional groups attached to carbon, BET to identify the porous structure of synthesized carbon, SEM method as a morphological indicating method on synthesized carbon, and carbon thermal stability characteristic information from the TGA method. It was found that the prepared activated carbon contained various functional groups. The distinguished functional groups presented were carboxylic acid, free alcohol, NH2, and SO3. The readily activated carbon showed a rough surface to enhance the adsorption process on the synthesized carbon from the SEM characterization method. BET on the readily activated carbon revealed that the activated carbon exhibited type IV isotherm, consisting dominantly of mesopores and micropores as a minority. TGA characterization method showed that the thermal stability of carbon was significantly unstable in the range of 100℃ and around 200℃. It implies that the prepared activated carbon contained OH as one of its functional groups. With all the characterization methods conducted on the readily activated carbon from granulated sugar, it was found that the prepared carbon had the potential to be utilized as an adsorbent. Moreover, it is suggested that the granular sugar-based carbon should be investigated in the following future study in the wastewater treatment process.

Abstract

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) can be described as localized corrosion that forms as a result of the penetration of water or moisture through an insulating material. The pipe material used is of the ASTM A53 standard and the fluid used in seawater because almost all industries are located on the coast. This type of coating is carried out on the test pipe using Meiji Epoxy Filler. The test method is carried out by flowing seawater fluid in pipes with water temperature variations of 30°C, 50°C, and 70°C. This pipe varies the type of insulation by using glasswool and Rockwool (ASTM G 189-07). This insulation is conditioned in a wet state by giving 2 ml of seawater drops with a pH value of 4 per 6 hours. The test equipment is divided into 3 series according to temperature variations with 4 test specimens and 2 coating variations respectively. The test time was carried out for 336 hours to obtain the corrosion rate results using the ASTM G31-72 weight loss method. The results showed that the type of Glasswool insulation with specimens coated had the lowest corrosion rate value of 0.00483 mmpy at a temperature of 30°C when compared to the same type of treatment on Rockwool insulation of 0.00724 mmpy or an increase of 2.41 times. This study shows that the type of insulation, temperature variation, and coating greatly affect the rate of corrosion and the type of corrosion that occurs is uniform corrosion.

Abstract

The utilization of molasses waste as Rhodamine B adsorbent has been investigated by studying adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics. The sample used is a variation of the concentration of Rhodamine B 10, 25, and 50 mg/L for kinetics adsorption and 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L, 150 mg/L, 200 mg/L, and 250 mg/L for isotherm adsorption. Kinetic analysis adsorption being tested by pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order rate equation, as for the equilibrium equation being tested by Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Study shows that Langmuir equation model and pseudo-second-order are the most suitable to be applied. The adsorption constant is obtained of 1.1664 L/g and qmax of 221.8279 mg/g in Langmuir Equation. Whereas for pseudo second order equations obtained values of qe, exp and qe, cal which are slightly different. The qe, cal values obtained were 8.142 mg/g, 23.141 mg/g, and 53.895 mg/g for various concentrations.  K value is obtained with a range of 0.001754-0.000294 and a value of R2 with a range of 0.8249-0.995 for various concentration. Intraparticle diffusion in this study is not the only rate control measure due to the plot linear at each concentration does not cross the origin.
