Abstract

This study discussed the increase of latex 60% addition to obtain the standard of asphalt 60-70. The comparison used were without the increase of latex addition (L0), 1000 g penetration of asphalt 60-70 with 100 g latex with 60 % degree or 10 phr ( L1), 1000 g penetration of asphalt 60-70 with 200 g latex 60 % degree or 20 phr ( L2), 1000 g penetration of asphalt 60-70 with 300 g latex 60 % degree or 30 phr ( L3), 1000 g penetration of asphalt 60-70 with 400 g latex 60 % degree or 40 phr ( L4). All of the samples homogenized by heating at 150ºC temperature and 250 rpm within 30 minutes then soaked in the tub for 30 minutes at 25ºC.

Abstract

Styrofoam had many purposes, especially for the safety of electronic objects, because it is light, durable and strong. The volume of styrofoam is enormous, reaching 30% of total waste in the world. Therefore, it causes problems if disposed of and it will become a very inconvenient waste and it can undermine the environment. This study aims to determine the effect of adding former styrofoam waste to asphalt on the characteristics of the 60/70 pen asphalt. The sample was made by melting the Styrofoam with Xylene then putting it in heated asphalt and then stirring it evenly. Next, Styrofoam enters the material into the sample container and then is refrigerated outside for 1 hour. After that, the sample is immersed in water for 3 hours. The sample meets the asphalt requirements test for each sample including penetration test, softening point, flash point, burning point, density, and ductility. This shows that the higher the concentration, the addition of styrofoam mixed with asphalt resulted in conversion and increased performance of the mixture. While at density, it appears that the addition of Styrofoam results in a lower density value.

Abstract

Sulawesi is one of the islands in Indonesia with a high level of seismicity because there are many active faults, especially in the Minahasa Peninsula area. This study discusses the moment tensor solution and the focus mechanism in the Minahasa Peninsula region from 28 September 2018 to 1 October 2018 using the ISOLA-GUI program. This program is used to process seismic data from the three components recorded by the seismogram. The data used in this study were five earthquake events consisting of earthquake foreshock, earthquake mainshock, and earthquake aftershock. With the ISOLA program, data processing is carried out which includes: crustal models, event info, selecting earthquake recording stations, preparing raw data for defining seismic sources, calculating green functions with computations, performing inversions and plotting results. In the inversion, the frequency of the band pass filter is selected to obtain the optimal reduction variance. After processing, calculating and interpreting the plot results, a fault model is obtained for each earthquake event, namely strike-slip.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of Fe3O4 addition on cellulose nanofiber aerogels' density and porosity characteristics. The cellulose nanofiber aerogels were synthesized with varying concentrations of Fe3O4: 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1%. The characterization of the cellulose nanofiber aerogels included physical tests to determine density and porosity and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis for functional group analysis. The results reveal a progressive increase in density from the lowest to the highest Fe3O4 concentrations: 0.115 g/cm3, 0.135 g/cm3, 0.162 g/cm3, 0.163 g/cm3, and 0.241 g/cm3 for Fe3O4 concentrations of 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1%, respectively. Similarly, the porosity of the cellulose nanofiber aerogels exhibited a trend of decreasing values from the lowest to the highest Fe3O4 concentrations: 90.808%, 89.499%, 88.064%, 87.764%, and 82.844% for Fe3O4 concentrations of 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1%, respectively. Furthermore, FTIR analysis indicated that the structural integrity of the cellulose aerogels remained unchanged even after the incorporation of Fe3O4. While no new functional groups emerged, a discernible shift in wave numbers suggests the formation of bonds between the polymer network and Fe3O4. In conclusion, adding Fe3O4 to cellulose nanofiber aerogels led to notable alterations in density and porosity, while FTIR analysis confirmed the establishment of bonds between the polymer network and Fe3O4 without causing significant structural changes.

Abstract

The development of efficient and environmentally friendly clean water production systems is becoming increasingly important. This study focuses on an innovative evaporator for a Solar Steam Generator (SSG) system designed to produce clean water using accessible materials. The SSG evaporator is constructed from cellulose bonded with Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and incorporates a freeze-drying method to enhance porosity, which improves water delivery within the SSG system. To further boost the efficiency of the evaporator, activated carbon (AC) is added due to its effective absorption of visible to infrared radiation. Evaporation rate testing demonstrates that the addition of 3 wt% AC yields an evaporation rate of 1.39 kg/m²/h and an efficiency of 58.56%. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was employed to analyze changes in the sample after AC addition and to examine infrared absorption characteristics.
