Abstract

The study of calcination at 450 ºC on Ca-Mg-Al-hydrotalcite synthesized from brine water has been investigated. Characterization by XRD shows that Ca-Mg-Al hydrotalcite compound has found hydrotalcite phase and another phase such as Mg(OH)2, Al(OH)3 and CaCO3. These results are confirmed by the presence of hydroxyl groups (-O-H), M-O and M-OH groups (M is Mg, Ca and Al) at wavenumber region around     3463,34 cm-1; 447,50 cm-1; 536,62 cm-1and 786,99 cm-1. The calcination on Ca-Mg-Al hydrotalcite at 450 ºC affected change in the structure become a metal oxide such as MgO, CaO, Al2O3, MgAl2O4, and CaCO3. These results are confirmed from decreasing on the absorption peak of M-OH group at wavenumbers around 536,62 cm-1and 786,99 cm-1 and widening of the absorption region at 447,5 - 857,4 cm-1. Consequently, the calcination treatment successfully increased the surface area of Ca-Mg-Al hydrotalcite compounds from 97.4 m2/g to 156.826 m2/g. Morphology of Ca-Mg-Al hydrotalcite underwent changes the shape from a big to be a small form. Thermal analysis results showed changes in the structure of Ca-Mg-Al hydrotalcite into oxides begin at a temperature of 210 ºC and become oxide completely after the temperature reaches 420 ºC.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate total phenolic compounds and isoflavone genistein contents during 0 - 9 days of fermentation time. Isoflavone extract were obtained by maceration and fractionation. Total phenolic compounds were measured by Folin ciocalteau method, meanwhile, the isoflavone genistein contents were analyzed by a High Performance Liquid Chromatography. The yield of isoflavone extract and the total phenolic compounds were analyzed using a randomized completely block design and the mean between treatments was compared by the Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test using significance level of 5 %. The highest amount of total phenolic compounds during the incubation time was obtained on 4 days of fermentation time, i.e., 232.05n ± 7.71 μg/g, while the highest content of isoflavone genistein was obtained on 5 days of fermentation time, i.e., 100.48 μg/g. This research confirms that the fermentation process of tempe induces the total phenolic contents and the production of isoflavone genistein is fluctuating.

Abstract

The aim of this work was to determine the effect of calcination temperature on the characteristics of Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) in sol-gel synthesis. The obtained Fe2O3 NPs was then used as material for preparation of Fe2O3-water nanofluids. Nanofluids is a mixture between basic fluid like water and 1 - 100 nm solid particles (nanoparticles). Nanoparticles of Fe2O3 have been synthesized from the local mineral Jarosite using sol-gel method by using starfruit (Averrhoa bilimbi) extracts as the chelating agent. The calcination temperature was then varied from 500 ºC to 700 ºC for 5 hours. Based on the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, the diffraction pattern of obtained Fe2O3 was relevant with the JCPDS data No. 33-0664 for α-Fe2O3 with hexagonal crystallite system. The crystallite size (Scherrer’s Equation) of obtained α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles at calcination temperatures of 500 ºC, 600 ºC and 700 ºC was 50 nm, 48 nm and 40 nm, respectively. The Surface Area of Fe2O3 NPs at temperature of 500 ºC, 600 ºC and 700 ºC was 45.45 m2/g; 26.91 m2/g and 17.51 m2/g, respectively. Fe2O3-water nanofluids was relativly stable with zeta potential of -39.60 mV; -46.37 mV and -41.57 mV, respectively for 500 ºC, 600 ºC and 700 ºC calcination temperature. The viscosity of Fe2O3-water nanofluids was higher than the viscosity of water. The critical heat flux (CHF) value of water-Fe2O3 nanofluids was higher than the CHF water. The highest CHF value for nanofluids was obtained by using α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles with calcination temperature of 600 ºC which 34.99 % of increment compare to the base fluid (water).

Abstract

This research synthesized a cermet Ni-YSZ, in which the YSZ (yttria stabilized-zirconia) was synthesized from the local zircon sand, ZrSiO4, as a side product of tin mining plant in Bangka island, Indonesia. The synthesized YSZ in this research is zirconia, ZrO2 doped by 8 % mol of yttrium dioxide. The synthesis used solid state reaction method and the result was characterized its crystal structure and its cell parameters by XRD analysis equipped with Le Bail refinement, surface morphology analysis, and an impedance analysis to understand its ionic conductivity. The cermet Ni-YSZ was synthesized at a various composition of Ni:YSZ i.e., 20:80, 30:70, and 40:60 (b/b). The analysis shows that Ni-YSZ is in two phases of Ni and YSZ without any presence of a third phase. It indicates that there was no solid state reaction between Ni and YSZ during synthesis. In this Ni-YSZ cermet, the Ni phase in a cubic structure, and the YSZ is also in a cubic structure. Morphological study shows that the addition of Ni to YSZ allows the morphology to become more roughness with larger grain size. This research found that the Ni-YSZ 20:80 has highest ionic conductivity.

Abstract

Synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles modified with carbon has been successfully performed by submerged arc-discharge method in ethanol/urea medium. Iron oxide used in the fabrication process was prepared by iron electrolysis in an electrolyte solution of NaCl. Fabrication of nanoparticles in this method uses two graphite electrodes. One of them was made in a pointed shape and the other graphite electrodes hollowed out and filled with a mixture of iron oxide, graphite and glue silica (as binder) with a ratio of 1:3:1 (w/w/w). The liquid medium used in this method is a mixture solution of ethanol 50% and urea (0%, 10%, 25% and 50%) with a volume ratio of 1:1 (v/v). The crystalline of iron oxide was characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), compared to JCPDS No. 89-0597, No. 89-0691 and No. 39-1346. Variations in the urea concentration in the liquid medium provided the changes of the surface character of the synthesized nanoparticles. The changes of surface character were analyzed by the Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectra and nanoparticle dispersion in water and ethanol. FTIR spectra showed the absorption of Fe-O, CH, CN, C = O, OH and NH at 460-555 cm-1, 650-1000 cm-1, 1000-1350 cm-1, 1640-1680 cm-1, 2400-3400 cm-1, 3200-3400 cm-1, 3100-3500 cm-1, respectively. The best hydrophilic surface character achieved when the nanoparticle was synthesized in medium of ethanol 50% with the addition of urea50%. The existence of a functional group attached on the surface of nanoparticles synthesized in ethanol/urea makes these nanoparticles had better dispersion than nanoparticles synthesized in ethanol medium without urea addition.
