Abstract

Nanocomposites are often used as a catalyst in the pyrolysis of Al/Mg/KNO3 rocket igniter charge. Because the synthesis of the nanocomposites has a negative impact on the environment, in this study, the nanocomposite of ZnO-Fe2O3 was synthesized using a green synthesis method based on the aqueous fraction of Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp. leaf extract. The secondary metabolites contained in the extract were tested. ZnO-Fe2O3 nanocomposite was characterized using Ultra-Violet-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV Vis-DRS), Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Particle Size Analyzer (PSA), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM).The thermal decomposition process of Al/Mg/KNO3 with and without ZnO-Fe2O3 nanocomposite was analyzed using Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Thermogravimetry Analysis (TGA). As a result, ZnO-Fe2O3 nanocomposite is successfully synthesized, proven by UV-Vis DRS, FT-IR, XRD, and SEM-EDS analysis. It highlights the effectiveness of aqueous leaves extract of Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp. as a capping agent because of the secondary metabolites. Based on PSA and TEM characterization, the particle size is 17.37 nm. The TGA curves demonstrate that the addition of ZnO-Fe2O3 nanocomposite lowers the activation energy for decomposition of Al/Mg/KNO3, from 58.71 kJ/mol to 52.07 kJ/mol, as well as reduces the stage in the decomposition process. A particular reason lies on the role of ZnO-Fe2O3 nanocomposite in reducing the activation energy of the thermal decomposition ofKNO3.

Abstract

This study discusses risk assessment, and the results of the analysis on the ignition system used on the X rocket. The purpose of this study was to obtain a risk analysis obtained when operating the ignition system on the X rocket. This study used HIRADC (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Determining Control) with a qualitative explanation. The results of the risk assessment in the X rocket motor testing process on the application of the ignition system, there are 10 risks in activities consisting of 8 activities that have a "low" risk level, while the other 2 have a "High" risk level. Caused by probability 1 and severity 4 which can result in device explosion as well as death of the user. The scope of the next assessment is instruments risk assessment, based on the research conducted, the results obtained from the risk assessment are 13 risks of instruments failure, consisting of 9 risks with a "low" risk value. Meanwhile, there are 2 "moderate" risks, namely a short circuit in the cable and the casing does not catch fire which can result in serious injury. Other sectors that have 2 high risk "High" are found to be at risk of not being grounded which can result in static electricity not going to ground, premature ignition during installation, explosion, which can cause death.
