Abstract

In terms of hygiene and sanitation, ensuring the availability of qualified water for those purposes remains challenging to perform under certain conditions. Accordingly, efforts to provide simple water processing technology are ongoing and innovatively developed. This study displayed an innovative approach to producing coagulants for water processing by utilizing metal salts obtained synthetically from used beverage cans and iron plates through the electrolysis principle and characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy - The Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), subsequently. After mixing with calcium hypochlorite and adding to water sample, subsequently, the coagulant showed the ability to reduce the turbidity level and several categories of impurities, i.e., nitrate, nitrite, dissolved Manganese, Cr6+ ion, and microbial levels. Future research and development in formulating coagulants derived from digested beverage cans and iron plate wastes hold significant potential to advance sustainable and efficient water treatment technologies, ensuring improved hygienic quality of fresh river water while contributing to waste valorization and environmental protection.

Abstract

Stealth aircraft have the capability to intercept radar waves. One common technique involves the use of radar-absorbing materials (RAMs). This study focused on the synthesis of advanced lightweight functional materials derived from advanced carbon and semiconductor compounds for microwave absorbing through mechanical homogenization. Graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) possess excellent dielectric and magnetic loss capability due to their thermal conductivity, small particle size, large surface area, disordered structure, and lightweight nature. The GNP and ZnO were developed as advanced carbon and semiconductor nanocomposites using Planetary Ball Milling (PBM) at a ratio of 1:1. This approach aimed to improve the structure, morphology, and electromagnetic performance of the materials. A comparison between the nanocomposite materials and their precursors was conducted to clarify the advantages of using nanocomposites. FE-SEM showed the layered carbon sheets in GNP. XRD exhibited the alteration in the crystallite structure of ZnO, while FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of specific functional groups. In addition, the GNP/ZnO nanocomposites showed strong microwave polarization capabilities. Notably, the GNP/ZnO nanocomposite achieved the lowest RL value compared to the precursor materials with a value of -28.21 dB at 8.45 GHz and a thickness of 3 mm in the scope of X-band range. While the through power was calculated at 99.84%. Through mechanical homogenization, a well-structured disordered crystallite layered material was fabricated for military RAMs. In the industrial sector, GNP/ZnO nanocomposites showed promising potential as a lightweight and advanced functional material for future stealth aircraft applications.
