Abstract

This study explores the use of porous carbon derived from palm kernel shells to adsorb lead ions (Pb2+) from water. Porous carbon was produced by carbonizing palm kernel shells at different temperatures (400, 600, and 800 °C) and was evaluated for its effectiveness in a lead chloride (PbCl2) solution. The best adsorption rate, reducing Pb2+ concentration by 27.5%, was observed by carbonized material at 800 °C with a 3 h contact time. Kinetic analysis suggested that the process followed a pseudo-second-order model, indicating that chemical adsorption was the dominant mechanism. The adsorption data were best described by the Freundlich isotherm, implying multilayer adsorption on an uneven surface. These findings highlight the efficient and low-cost potential of palm kernel shell-based porous carbon for removing heavy metals from wastewater. Palm kernel shell-derived porous carbon has proven to be a sustainable, cost-effective, and practical solution for mitigating Pb2+ contamination, positioning it as a promising candidate for environmentally friendly water treatment applications.

Abstract

Geothermal slag is a by-product of the geothermal power generation process, but its added value is minimal. With a silica content of up to 70%, geothermal slag has potential as a secondary silicon source for battery silicon anode precursors. Usually, the synthesis of nano-silica was carried out through the sol-gel method, in which HCl is usually used as a modifier to regulate the physical and chemical properties of the material. But in this study chose citric acid for modifier agent because it is more environmentally friendly. The challenge of using citric acid is the formation of carbon-based salts that can cause silica blackening if not washed well. Therefore, optimization was done by adjusting the pH to produce high-purity nano-silica. The sol-gel process was carried out by adding 10% NaOH and 5N Citric Acid, with varying pH base conditions from 8 to 11. XRF analysis results showed the highest purity at pH 8. Impurities were still visible based on XRD data, and the formation of nanoparticles was confirmed through morphological analysis using FESEM and TEM where the average particle size formed is between 55 nm.

Abstract

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is an essential raw material widely used in Indonesia’s medical, cosmetic, paint, cement, aerospace, and defense industries. Despite its industrial importance, domestic TiO2 production remains limited, resulting in continued dependence on imports. Meanwhile, Indonesia possesses abundant iron sand resources that have not been fully utilized as potential raw materials for TiO2 extraction. This study aims to extract titanium dioxide from iron sand obtained from the southern coast of Lebak Regency, Banten Province. The extraction process began with the preparation of iron sand through washing, drying, and magnetic separation to isolate titanium-rich minerals, mainly ilmenite (FeTiO3) and titanomagnetite (Fe2TiO4). The ilmenite concentrate was leached using sulfuric acid (H2SO4, 96%) at 150–200 °C, forming titanium oxysulfate (TiOSO4) and ferrous sulfate (FeSO4). The solution was filtered, and titanium was precipitated as hydrated titanium dioxide (TiO2•H2O) through neutralization. The precipitate was washed, dried, and calcined at 500 °C to obtain anatase-phase TiO2. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed dominant mineral phases of ilmenite (98.63%) and titanomagnetite (90.56%), while X-ray fluorescence (XRF) showed titanium contents of 22.72% in FeTiO3 and 20.45% in Fe2TiO4. The resulting TiO2 exhibited an anatase phase with 98.7% purity. The findings confirm that Lebak’s southern coastal iron sand is rich in titanium-bearing minerals, demonstrating its potential as a sustainable raw material for domestic TiO2 production. This study provides a preliminary foundation for optimizing the extraction process to enhance yield and support local industrial development.

Abstract

The effect of Ti2+-Mn4+substitution on microwave absorption has been studied for BaFe12-2xTixMnxO19 ferrite, where x varies from 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8.Ti2+-Mn4+ ions were obtained from TiO and MnO2 precursors which were mechanically alloyed together with BaCO3 and Fe2O3 precursors. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns for sintered samples confirmed that the materials are consisted with single phase BHF structure. Unit cell volume and crystallite size was found increase with increasing x. Crystallite size for all samples below 70 nm, but the grain morphology shown that the grains is in range of 200 - 400 nm, which concluded that each grain are polycrystalline. The saturation magnetization is increases up to x = 0.4 and decrease for higher x values, while the coercivity remains decreases monotonically. These results were interpreted in terms of the site preferential occupation of Ti2+ and Mn4+ at low level substitution.These substitution revealed of enhanced reflection loss (RL) up to 25 dB forx=0.6.It suggested that the synthesized can be employed as effective microwave absorbers in various devices.

Abstract

   After the Fukushima-Daiichi reactor accident in 2011, one of the research and development focuses of nuclear fuel worldwide has been on coatings for Enhanced Accident Tolerant Fuels (EATF). Chromium (Cr) coatings are considered suitable due to their high oxidation resistance; however, Cr has limitations, particularly its poor diffusion on certain materials such as zirconium (Zr). Nickel coatings are therefore used as an interlayer to overcome the diffusion problem of chromium on zirconium substrates. Several surface coating methods are available, such as physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF), detonation gun (D-Gun), and electroplating. Electroplating was chosen in this study because of its high productivity, simple equipment, and low cost. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of current density on the surface morphology in the electroplating of Zr-2 with nickel. Electroplating is a process in which metal ions in an electrolyte solution are driven by an electric field to deposit onto a material. The electrolyte solution used in this study consisted of 200 g/L NiSO₄·6H₂O as the nickel source, 35 g/L NiCl₂·6H₂O as the activator, and 30 g/L H₃BO₃ as the pH buffer. The current densities applied were 0.015 A/cm², 0.025 A/cm², and 0.05 A/cm². After deposition, hardness tests were conducted, and the surface morphology was examined using SEM and EDS. The results showed that increasing the current density led to larger average nickel grain sizes, namely 4.68 μm, 6.19 μm, and 6.84 μm, as well as larger pore areas on the surface, namely 6.5 μm², 20.85 μm², and 27.98 μm². Micro-Vickers hardness tests indicated that higher current density increased hardness values, measured at 163.48 HV, 178 HV, and 234.25 HV, respectively. Cross-sectional SEM analysis revealed that the coating produced at a current density of 0.015 A/cm² showed better quality compared to higher current densities. This was evidenced by smaller pore areas, thinner coating thickness (7.44 μm compared to 19.17 μm and 8.42 μm), and the absence of defects at the coating–substrate interface, which were observed at 0.025 and 0.05 A/cm². To achieve thickness values closer to calculations, uniform spacing between the cathode and anode as well as the use of a fresh electrolyte solution are recommended. The use of a nickel interlayer can be a promising option to improve the surface performance of Zr-2.

Abstract

Alloys based on Magnesium the lightest structural metal and Mg have great application potential in the automotive and aerospace industries. However, Magnesium in its application is limited by its low strength and ductility. The most effective way to increase strength and ductility is by adding alloying elements, grain refinement, and dispersion strengthening. However, universal strengthening techniques for magnesium alloys are still being researched, and some are still being debated. This paper presents a brief overview of the development of methods of adding alloying elements to magnesium alloys, contributing to a better understanding of the factors controlling mechanical properties and providing an outlook for future research in this area.

Abstract

This study aimed to create and examine plastic scintillators made from a polystyrene matrix, which are widely used in radiation detection due to their favorable properties such as rapid decay time, low cost, resistance to moisture, and ease of fabrication. The scintillators were doped with p-terphenyl (PTP) and 1,4-bis[2-(phenyloxazolyl)]-benzene (POPOP) using an injection method with an extruder machine. The materials were then characterized using various techniques. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed the presence of aromatic chains which are essential for the scintillation process. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis showed stable thermal properties with a glass transition temperature of approximately 100ºC. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed that the surface of the polymer is amorphous with small bumps and protrusions likely caused by the PTP and POPOP dopants. The optical evaluation indicated that the sample could absorb UV photons up to 340 nm and emit photons in the wavelength range of 400-500 nm with a peak at 421 nm. Gamma spectra analysis indicated that the plastic scintillators performed well in gamma detection and could be used in a Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM).

Abstract

MICROWAVE ABSORBING PROPERTIES OF LaMn1-x NixO3. The doped lanthanum manganites have unusual magnetic and transport properties, which makes it possible for this material to be used for microwave absorbing. In this study, LaMn1-xNixO3 (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, and 0.06) were prepared by solid state reaction method as microwave absorption material. The crystal structure and magnetic properties were characterized byX-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Vibrating SampleMagnetometer (VSM), respectively. Refinement results of X-Ray diffraction pattern using High Score Plus Software showed that the samples with various x = 0 to x = 0.04 had a single phase with monoclinic crystal structure, while the sample with x = 0.06 had two phases with monoclinic and hexagonal structures. Hysteresis loops showed that the LaMn1-xNixO3 (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, and 0.06) samples are soft magnetic materials. Microwave absorption properties were investigated in the frequency range of 8-12 GHz using Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). An optimal reflection loss of -8.85 dB is reached at 11.58 GHz for x = 0.04 with sampel thickness of 2 mm.
