Abstract

Synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles by pulse laser ablation method has been successed carried out. Synthesis was carried out in aquades medium with a repetition rate variation of 5 Hz, 10 Hz and 15 Hz pulse laser yielding brown colloids. The higher laser repetition rate, the colloidal color will be more dark brown. Characterization of zinc oxide nanoparticles includes UV-Vis, SEM-EDX, FTIR and XRD. The image of SEM shows that zinc oxide nanoparticles have a round shape. Measurement of particle distribution with imageJ software from SEM images showed that ZnO nanoparticles were 23.63 nm, 12.13 nm and 5.59 nm for 5 Hz, 10 Hz and 15 Hz shots. The EDX spectrum analysis results show that only Zn and O atoms in the ZnO nanoparticles colloid are synthesized. FTIR results showed that sprocket ZnO was formed at wave number 457 cm-1 and 545 cm-1. The XRD analysis results also show some peaks known as the ZnO phase. This indicates that ZnO nanoparticles have been formed. The testing of the antibacterial activity of ZnO nanoparticles using a liquid dilution method with nanoparticle concentrations of 40 ppm, 60 ppm and 80 ppm. The test results showed the percentage of degradation of Escherichia coli bacteria at concentrations of 40 ppm, 60 ppm and 80 ppm respectively at 89.60%, 97.76% and 98, 70%.

Abstract

The Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) method was successfully used to detect heavy metal elements in the soil polluted by wastewater from paper mills. The study was conducted using a Nd: YAG pulse laser with a wavelength of 532 nm at 83 mJ energy and 5 torr air pressure. The laser is fired at a soil sample that has been made in the form of pellets to produce plasma. The plasma emission spectrum formed is then detected by multichannel analyzer (OMA) to obtain the emission line spectrum that represents the content of atoms and molecules in the soil sample. The spectrum detected by OMA is then compared to the standard reference spectrum at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) to find out the contents of an element on a contaminated soil sample. several types of heavy metal elements Fe, Cr, Cu, Al, Cd and Mn in soils contaminated by wastewater were detected using LIBS method. Based on research results, the LIBS method is very well used for the detection of heavy metal content in polluted soils.

Abstract

Magnetotelluric research in the “N” geothermal field has been carried out to see the subsurface detail in the “N” geothermal field. 2D inversion model is generated by secondary data from magnetotelluric data collection in the form of time series data to become 2D models. Magnetotellurics method is used to identify geothermal system components, especially identifying layers with low resistivity values (2 Ω.m - 10 Ω.m) or also called as the cap rock which is seen with a very contrasting color difference compared to the surrounding layers. There are manifestations on the “N” geothermal field which reinforce the assumption that there is a geothermal system in this area. This research begins by processing time series data to become apparent resistivity and phase data. Time series data processing in this study uses several processing methods to produce better apparent resistivity and phase data. The final result of this study is a 2D model that illustrates the contour of the resistivity value of rocks laterally or vertically. 2D model interpretation in this study identified the cap rock layer with low resistivity distribution (2 Ω.m - 10 Ω.m), the medium resistivity zone identified as the reservoir layer (11 Ω.m - 70 Ω.m), and the resistive zone which has high resistivity value (more than 70 Ω.m).

Abstract

Geophysics programing of regional and residual anomaly separation on Magnetic data has been carried out with the results compared with the upward continuation method in the OasisMontaj software. Separation of anomalies with moving average and polynomial methods is processed using Matlab programming. The orders used in the polynomial method are first-order, second-order and third-order. Comparison is done by calculating the match value. The chosen matching method is autocorrelation. Correlation of residual magnetic anomalies resulting from upward continuation (Magpick) to moving averages, 1st-order polynomials, 2nd-order polynomials and 3rd-order polynomials. Correlation values obtained for the moving average method are 0.9604, first order polynomial 0.9072, 2nd order polynomial 0.9482 and third order polynomial 0.6057. The moving average and second order polynomial methods can be used as a substitute method if we do not use the upward continuation method.

Abstract

In external beam radiotherapy, the photons from a linear accelerator (linac) machine undergo multiple interactions, not only in the patient but also in the linac head and the air column between the linac head and the patient. Electrons are released from these interactions and contaminate the beams. The current study evaluates electron contamination for 6 MV photon beams from an Elekta linac using Monte Carlo simulation. The linac head was simulated by the BEAMnrc code and the absorbed dose in a phantom was calculated using the DOSXYZnrc code. The parameters of the initial electron beams on the target, such as mean energy and radial intensity distribution, were determined by matching the calculated dose distributions with the measured dose (at 10 x 10 cm2 field size and 90 cm source-skin distance). The central axis depth-dose curves of electron contamination were calculated for various field sizes from 5 x 5 cm2 to 40 x 40 cm2. We investigated the components that generated the electron contamination for a field size of 10 x 10 cm2. The optimal initial electron beam energy was 6.3 MeV with a full-width half maximum (FWHM) of the radial intensity distribution of 1.0 mm. These parameters were found to be in good agreement with the measured data. Electron contamination increased as the field size increased. At a depth of 1.0 mm and field sizes of 5 x 5, 10 x 10, 20 x 20, 30 x 30, and 40 x 40 cm2, the doses from electron contamination were 3.71, 5.19, 14.39, 18.97 and 20.89 %, respectively. Electron contamination decreased with increased depth. At a depth of 15 mm, the electron contamination was about 1 %. It was mainly generated in the air column between the linac head and the phantom (3.65 %), the mirror (0.99 %), and the flattening filter (0.59 %) (for the depth of 1.0 mm and the field size of 10 x 10 cm2).
