Abstract

Corrosion is one of the unavoidable problems in nuclear reactor cooling systems that use water as a cooling medium. secondary cooling systemThe Reaktor Serba Guna–G.A. Siwabessy (RSG-GAS) is an open recirculation cooling system that uses carbon steel pipes for water delivery. Due to the obvious open recirculation cooling system, components in the system interact with oxygen in the air, resulting in corrosion. Corrosion control in the RSG-GAS has been accomplished through the continuous injection of zinc phosphate (ZnPO4) inorganic inhibitors, but the use of these inhibitors can contribute to environmental pollution and health issues. To resolve these concerns, environmentally-friendly corrosion inhibitors such as carboxymethyl chitosan have been used. CMC (carboxymethyl chitosan) is widely used because it is more amphiprotic than other chitosan derivatives. Because of the number of functional groups in carboxymethyl chitosan, it is an effective corrosion inhibitor. The corrosion inhibition test by CMC on carbon steel in the secondary cooling water system was performed using a weight-loss method in this study with variations of 0, 1, and 3 g CMC. The steel material's composition is 0.23% C, 0.17% Si, 0.008% P, 0.004% S, 0.012% Cr, and 0.037% Mn. According to the study, the corrosion rate generated at variations of 0, 1, and 3 g CMC is 8.237, 5,645, and 5,113 mpy, respectively. According to the data, the addition of CMC can reduce the weight loss of steel due to corrosion because CMC contains many amphiprotic groups that are adsorbed on the surface in half-full d Fe orbitals.

Abstract

Polypropylene/sugarcane bagasse silica (PP/SiO2) composites have been synthesized. The sol gel method with 1 M NaOH was used to synthesize silica from bagasse ash. The results showed that the silica yield was 52.8%. The resulting silica was blended with polypropylene with a mass ratio variation of 1:5, 1:10, 1:15, 1:20, and 1:25 to obtain PP/SiO2 composites. Composites in variations of 1:5 and 1:10 produce fragile plastic, whereas composites in variations 1:15, 1:20, and 1:25 produce strong and homogeneous plastic. The water resistance test showed that PP/SiO2 with variations of 1:15, 1:20,and 1:25 had good water resistance (> 94%), whereas variations of 1:5 and 1:10, the resistance to water dropped to 80-87%. FT-IR was used to characterize polypropylene, silica synthesized from bagasse ash, and PP/SiO2 composites (1:25) to observe functional group changes. FT-IR analysis showed that silica was successfully synthesized from bagasse ash. This is indicated by a band that widened at a wavenumber of 3400-3600 cm-1, which is characteristic of the O-H strain on water. This band is confirmed by a band with a wavenumber of 1660 cm-1 which is a bend in the O-H in a water molecule. Other silica characteristics can be seen in bands with wavenumbers of 1075 cm-1 and 950 cm-1, which are strains of Si-O, and bands with a wavenumber of 460 cm-1, which is a bend of Si-O. The spectra of polypropylene and PP/SiO2 were also similar. The similarity between the polypropylene and PP/SiO2 spectra indicates that SiO2 spreads homogeneously in polypropylene.

Abstract

Reaktor Serba Guna G.A Siwabessy (RSG-GAS) was built since 1983. RSG-GAS is a type of research reactor equipped with heat carrier and cooling system which serves to remove heat arising from fission reactions. In the heat carrier medium, the reactor equipped with a secondary cooling system using water originating from PAM Puspiptek. Water used in secondary cooling systems can cause some major problems of crust, corrosion, and moss or microorganisms. In this research, the phosphorus (orthophosphate), zinc, and conductivity and pH in the secondary cooling system have been measured to determine whether or not the flow rate of the injection system is used. Determination of concentration of the elements was performed using a DR / 2400 spectrophotometer portable device with ZincoVer 5 Powder Pillow reagent, cyclohexane for zinc concentration, and PhosVer 3 phophate for phosphorus concentration. From the results obtained, the overall flow rate of injector injection of 1.7 L / h gives a good result. Significant differences occurred only in conductivity values ​​dated July 21, 2009 both in piped water and cooling towers exceeding 950 μs / cm. And the value of orthophosphate concentration dated August 4, 2009 that exceeds 10 ppm.

Abstract

Biodegradable plastic production has been developed for a long time by researchers. Data from Ministry of Industry in 2017 stated Indonesia's plastic production reached 3.9 million tons/ year. In this study, the raw materials used came from untapped waste, namely coffee skin, biodiesel-waste glycerol and shrimp-shells chitosan. In this research, biodegradable plastic films have been produced with the addition of glycerol and coffee skin waste with chitosan concentration variations of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8%. After the optimum conditions were obtained by comparing the elongation and tensile strength values, then the variations in coffee skin waste were added with a weight of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 g. Tensile strength and elongation values with variations of chitosan were 0.2-1.87 MPa and 0.22-0.15%, respectively. Whereas the variation of tensile strength and elongation coffee skins were 1.8-0.27 MPa and 0.14-0.2%, respectively. The optimum conditions for producing biodegradable plastic films were obtained with variations of chitosan 4% and 2 g coffee skin with tensile strength and elongation values of 0.98 MPa and 0.16%. The tensile strength and elongation data produced from biodegradable plastic was still below the standard value of commercial plastic or synthetic plastic (HDPE) with values of tensile strength and elongation of 28.64 MPa and 6.5186% respectively.
