Abstract

Struvite was a white crystal known as Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate Hexahydrate (MgNH4PO4.6H2O). In industry, struvite was found in the pipes crust which the hot fluid through passes. Struvite is often used as fertilizer because it contains phosphate content. The one of benefits of struvite crystals is slow release fertilizer, so it can be more durable, which is good for the growth of the plants. The Precipitation technology is currently one of the most widely applied technologies in struvite formation. The process of forming struvite is carried out by using a vertical reactor. The process started by mixing the equimolar solutions of MgCl2, NH4OH, and H3PO4 with a concentration ratio of 1: 1: 1 and 1: 1: 2. Theprocess was carried out with the condition at the 30°C while the air inlet rate was 1.25 liters/min. The pH of the solution is pH 9 and controlled using NaOH solution. The process was carried out in the steady state condition. Then the solution was filtered and solid was dried at room temperature for 48 hours. From this study, the concentration ratio of 1:1:2 was obtained the best of struvite compared to the others ratio. The solid was analyzed by using the SEM-EDX instrument. The morphology of struvite was formed an irregular pyramid like crystal or commonly referred to as an authorhombic shape.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the wear mechanism of UHMWPE acetabular liner. There were three samples of acetabular liner with variations without crosslink, with crosslink doses of 50 kGy and 100 kGy which were subjected to a wear testing process. The wear test was carried out using a Tribometer wear testing machine with a total of 30,000 cycles and a load of 800N. Microstructure analysis was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the surface of the UHMWPE acetabular liner with the crosslink treatment is smoother than the untreated one. This shows that UHMWPE with crosslink treatment has a lower wear rate, where the greater the crosslink dose the lower the wear rate. The wear mechanism that occurs in this study is the third body abrasion which leads to adhesive wear.

Abstract

Indonesia is the fifth largest cassava-producing country, where the national cassava production per year reaches 23 million tons. On the other hand, the organic waste in the form of cassava stems with the potential to use a large alpha-cellulose stem content. Alpha-cellulose is a much-needed biomass material in the field of industry and renewable energy sources. Highquality alpha-cellulose is produced from cassava stem fibers that have separated the outer shell. Research in the design of machines capable of processing stripping and sequencing cassava stems simultaneously has the potential to increase the productivity of making Alpha-cellulose raw materials for industrial needs. The prototype design peeling machine and a cassava rod pucker using the engine element approach is expected to produce an engine design that has the specification of a 0.5 HP 3-phase main drive motor with a 1400 rpm rotation consisting of 2 pulley transmissions and a gearbox ratio of 60.
