Abstract

Boiler as the steam generator is usually utilized as a turbine drive and other industrial processes. Boiler needs good treatment and surveillance to keep its best performance. Boiler water (BW) and boiler feed water (BFW) quality control is essential in boiler maintenance since it preserves boiler from crust, corrosion, and carry over, moreover, it also prevents boiler pipe to break. Boiler maintenance in sugar refinery factory is carried out by controlling the quality of BFW, Chemical injection (inner maintenance) and blowdown of boiler water. BFW mineral content (SiO2 , total hardness) is maintained as small as possible using a softener (cation resin) or demineralization unit (cation and anion resin). Chemical injection is performed by the addition of soda in order to control the pH of boiler water. Phosphate addition aims to tie up total hardness level which is caused by concentration process of water boiler and slipped of hard water from BFW. Blowdown process has purpose to reduce crust and corrosion caused by mineral concentrate inside boiler. The experiment was conducted by controlling pH of BFW from 7.5-8.5, maximum total hardness at 3 ppm, maximum SiO2  concentration at 3 ppm and maximum Total Dissolve Solid (TDS) at 100 ppm while BW was controlled its pH at 10.5-11, maximum total hardness at 20 ppm, maximum SiO2  concentration at 50 ppm, maximum Total Dissolve Solid (TDS) at 2000 ppm, and residual phosphate ion between 4 – 10 ppm. The experiment time was adjusted as a milled day or about for 140 days. The result of the experiment showed that the treatment had a good impact on the condition of the boiler drum pipe.

Abstract

Hydroxyapatite is a biomaterial that has been recognized in terms of hard tissue engineering due to its similarity in composition to bioapatite. Moreover, abundant resources and diverse synthesis methods make hydroxyapatite easy to produce. The application in terms of 3D print-based network engineering is also being intensively explored due to hydroxyapatite scaffold fabrication process flexibility. In this review, various hydroxyapatite from natural sources, synthesis methods, hydroxyapatite-based 3D print filament fabrication techniques, as well as fillers used in the production of filaments are discussed.

Abstract

Pineapple is a local commodity in Indonesia that is widely cultivated. The part of the pineapple plant that is mostly used is only the fruit part, while the other plant parts are discarded and become waste. Pineapple leaves contain high fiber content of cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose, so it is very potential if used as an alternative textile raw material. The quality of pineapple leaf fiber can be improved by going through a delignification process using an alkaline solvent with the appropriate concentration and time. This research  determine the effect of delignification of pineapple leaf fiber with a solution of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) and water (H2O) on tensile strength, lignin content and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). This research consist of six stages including delignification using 3% NaOH and 3% H2O2, washing, neutralization, preservation, and analysis of pineapple leaf fiber products. The results obtained are pineapple leaf fiber lignin test after delignification and bleaching, the best lignin results are steam delignification at 80°C with 3% NaOH solution and bleaching solution using NaOCl solution obtained 21% lignin content with a tensile strength test of  0.263 kgf/mm2. SEM analysis also showed that there was a loss of material from the fiber surface which indicated that there was degradation due to the addition of bleaching solution. This proves that alkaline treatment can also cause discoloration of natural fibers due to the removal of natural dyes in natural fibers.

Abstract

The number of deaths or fatalities due to accidents in Indonesia is increasing. In addition, traffic accidents can cause serious injuries such as damage to the skull. The bone implantation technique currently used is an autograft, but this technique has some limitations. This limitation of autograft can be overwhelmed with synthetic bone implants, one of which uses a mixture of Polycaprolactone (PCL) and Hydroxyapatite (HAp). A combination of HAp and PCL is recommended because the two materials complement each other's weaknesses and can increase elasticity and quality to produce suitable filaments for 3D printing processes. This study used hydroxyapatite from Kupang Shells by calcination and precipitation methods. Then do the test XRF, XRD, FTIR, and SEM to determine the quality. The results showed that HAp synthesized from Kupang Shells had potential characteristics as bone implants. Next, two methods were used to mix PCL with HAp as a 3D printing filament for bone implants: the dry and wet methods. After that, it is analyzed with SEM and Mechanical Strength. The results of the SEM test of HAp particles in the wet method have more even distribution and a smoother surface than in the dry method. The impact is visible on the filament's mechanical test, which shows better results in the wet method.
