Abstract

Radar is a crucial tool in military applications for detecting enemy objects in its vicinity, but its presence can pose a risk of being detected by adversaries. Therefore, this research focuses on the development of Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) using activated carbon obtained from cassava peel and Barium M-Hexaferrite. The research results indicate that this combination can be used as a protective layer on military drones made of composite hemp fibers, enhancing the drone's ability to absorb radar waves, thus reducing the risk of detection by adversaries. This improves the effectiveness of military operations and contributes to environmental preservation through the use of eco-friendly materials.

Abstract

Biodiesel is a promising renewable energy source to replace conventional diesel fuel. This study aims to improve biodiesel production efficiency by utilizing a heterogeneous catalyst derived from chicken eggshell-based calcium oxide (CaO), modified with magnesium oxide (MgO). The catalyst was synthesized via co-precipitation and applied in both transesterification and interesterification reactions using crude palm oil (CPO) as feedstock. The optimum reaction was conducted at 65°C for 180 minutes with a 9:1 methyl acetate/methanol to oil molar ratio and 2.5 wt% catalyst loading. The modified CaO.MgO catalyst outperformed unmodified CaO, yielding 89.63% and 99.96% biodiesel via interesterification and transesterification, respectively. The catalyst characterization was performed using FTIR, XRD, and GC-MS, confirming the enhancement in basicity, crystallinity, and FAME content. This study demonstrates the potential of waste-derived catalysts in sustainable biodiesel production while addressing environmental waste issues.
