Abstract

The Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) method was successfully used to detect heavy metal elements in the soil polluted by wastewater from paper mills. The study was conducted using a Nd: YAG pulse laser with a wavelength of 532 nm at 83 mJ energy and 5 torr air pressure. The laser is fired at a soil sample that has been made in the form of pellets to produce plasma. The plasma emission spectrum formed is then detected by multichannel analyzer (OMA) to obtain the emission line spectrum that represents the content of atoms and molecules in the soil sample. The spectrum detected by OMA is then compared to the standard reference spectrum at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) to find out the contents of an element on a contaminated soil sample. several types of heavy metal elements Fe, Cr, Cu, Al, Cd and Mn in soils contaminated by wastewater were detected using LIBS method. Based on research results, the LIBS method is very well used for the detection of heavy metal content in polluted soils.

Abstract

In this report, we study the electro-optics effect on cooking oil to obtain the relative dissociation energy as a new single proposed parameter of oil quality. The sample was canola oil which had been heated in 0.5 hours, 2 hours and 4 hours. The light source used in the experiment was a green pointer laser with a wave length of 532 nm. The sample was applied to a potential difference from 0 to 9 kV to obtain the electro-optics effect in form of the change of the polarization angle Dq as function of potential difference DV. The relative dissociation energy was obtained from the fitting data of the relative Lenard-Jones potential energy curves represented by change of polarization per unit change of potential difference, Dq/DV. The result shows that the relative dissociation energy is reduced as the oil quality decreased after heated. The relative dissociation energy provides simple physical understanding about electro-optics effect on cooking oils. The study of electro-optics polarization that represents relative Lenard-Jones potential energy is a new but somewhat intuitive, which can be further improved and emphasized for grouping, mapping, and determining various cooking oil quality and halal food due to the lard contamination.

Abstract

In this report we have succeeded to map various cooking oils using change of fluorescence polarization. Various cooking oils consisted of several vegetables oils and animal oils (chicken oil and lard) were used in the experiment, and some oils were measured in two different times. The change of polarization angle &tetha; was measured as the difference between linear polarized green pointer laser as incoming light and fluorescence light using a pair of polarizers. The direct measurement of fluorescence polarization gives a new unique result of critical polarizer’s angle φc that can group vegetable cooking oils into group 1 (at φc = 10o for VCO, olive, and soybean), group 2 (at φc = 20o for palm, corn and rice bran), group 3 (at φc = 30o for sunflower and canola), and also animals cooking oils into group 4 (at φc = 20o for chicken oil), and group 5 (at φc = 40o for lard). Mostly cooking oils can be distinguished using modified maps. The large difference φc and &tetha; of lard from vegetable oils provides an advantage to develop for testing halal oil due to lard contamination. The capability of this method has benefits, at least, as a complement and simple method in comparison to other expensive sophisticated instruments such as fluorescence spectroscopy or GCMS methods with their derivation’s instruments.

Abstract

Research on the characteristics of colloidal silver solutions based on changes in concentration and electric field using electrooptic devices has been carried out. The purposes of this study was to determine the characteristic of colloidal silver solution based on variations in concentration and electrooptic effects. Electrooptics work based on changes in the polarization angle of the sample. The sample used is a colloidal silver solution with various concentrations. The colloidal silver solution was obtained by laser ablation method and then dissolved in aquabidest. The light source used is a laser pointer with = 532 nm. The electric field applied to the sample is 0-9 kV. The results showed that colloidal silver solution at an angle of 0º showed active plasmon resonance at the peak of polarization with concentrations of 1.9 ppm, 2.28 ppm, and 3.8 ppm. An angle of 90º also shows active plasmon resonance at the peak of polarization with a concentration of 3.8 ppm. From the results, it can be concluded that the characteristics of colloidal silver solution on change in the polarization angle due to an electric field show non-linier properties with increasing concentration.

Abstract

An integrated polarizer was designed as an alternative test tool to evaluate quality of cooking oils. Integrated Polarizer was composed of light source with wavelength of 532 ± 10 nm, polarizer, analyser, cuvette, electrodes, and high voltage source. In this research, the tool works based on the fluorescence polarization method. Measurements were made by observing the fluorescence polarization angle changes that occur and by applying an external electric field at the samples using high voltage of 0-9 kV in the parallel plate. The results show that the expired cooking oil has a greater polarization angle than the edible cooking oil. The results also show that the change in the polarization angle will increase in proportion to the increase of the heating time. The condition of saturated fatty acids in each sample has an effect on the change of polarization angle.
