Abstract

This work aimed to synthesize MnFe2O4 nanoparticles using the coprecipitation method. Manganese chloride dihydrate (MnCl2.4H2O) and iron sand from South Cianjur, Indonesia, were used as a precursor for MnFe2O4 nanoparticle synthesis. The iron sand elements and compounds were tested using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). MnFe2O4 nanoparticle was characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), and Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). The X-Ray Fluorescence test result showed that 70.54% of South Cianjur contained iron sand. The SEM test result showed that the nanoparticles have an average size of  73.75 nm with a round shape, which was attributed to the agglomeration process. The EDX test result showed that the synthesized nanoparticle contained only Mn, Fe, and O elements without contaminants. The XRD test result showed that the crystal phase of MnFe2O4 was formed with a crystal size of less than 27 nm. The largest reflection losses in the 11.5 - 12.5 GHz range were found in MnFe2O4 with 1:2 variation, i.e., 35.08 dB. This study found that adding iron sand increases MnFe2O4 microwave absorption.

Abstract

This study aimed to synthesize iron sand-based Copper Ferrite (CuFe2O4) using the coprecipitation method. The iron sand was taken from South Cianjur and used as a Fe cation source to synthesize CuFe2O4 nanoparticles. Three composition variations of CuCl2.6H2O and iron sand (Fe3O4) were employed, i.e., 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1. Samples were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), and Atomic Adsorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The XRD analysis exhibits three synthesis-phase results: CuFe2O4, Fe2O3, and CuO. The produced CuFe2O4 has two crystal structures: t-CuFe2O4 in 1:2 variation and c-CuFe2O4 in variations 1:1 and 2:1. Adding Cu resulted in smaller crystal size and higher lattice parameters. SEM-EDX analysis of 1:2 sample variation showed a round-shaped particle of 102.57 nm. AAS analysis showed that the increased mole of Cu decreases the heavy metal, including Pb and Mn, adsorption capacity. The largest adsorption capacity was found in the 1:2 (60.698 mg/g).

Abstract

This research presents the design of a temperature monitoring and pH control device for catfish nurseries. The pH range of 6.5 to 8.5 with a temperature of 27℃ to 31℃ is the optimal condition for catfish farming. However, water quality can decrease due to unstable pH conditions and temperature changes. In this case, periodic monitoring is necessary to maintain stable pH and temperature conditions. This tool is constructed to monitor temperature and control water pH using DS18B20 temperature sensors, pH sensors, water pumps, Node MCU 8266, and a telegram application. This device is applied to maintain the stability of the pH of the water; pH control is carried out with a new water replacement method when the pH value is over the normal limit or is in acid and alkaline state. The new water replacement method is carried out by utilizing a water pump for the circulation process. When all components are well integrated into a system, including the whole program, then testing is carried out. Testing on this tool begins with turning on and running the system and observing the system's performance, dipping the temperature sensor and pH sensor probe into the water, and then observing the temperature and pH data displayed on the LCD. Furthermore, if the pH is in an acid or alkaline state, the pump will be active to carry out the process of circulating water replacement. The output of water temperature and pH measurements is displayed on the LCD and with Telegram notifications by sending messages or statuses on Telegram.

Abstract

This work reports the manufacture and characterization of porous ceramics synthesized using clay and banana frond powder by employing the dry-pressing method. The clay and banana frond powder was filtered with a grain size of 200 mesh. Production of printed ceramics was made with the proportion of the combination of clay and banana frond powder of 100%:0%; 95%:5%; 90%:10%; 85%:15%; 80%:20%; 75%:25%; 70%:30%; 65%:35%; 60%:40%; 55%:45%; 50%:50% and heated with a sintering temperature of 1000°C with a holding time of 3 hours. The resulting ceramics are described by determining their actual properties (thickness, porosity, and shrinkage), mechanical properties (compressive strength and hardness), surface morphology and pore size (SEM), and base material (EDX). The results show that the mixed varieties of 50%:50% clay and banana frond powder have a density value of 1.22 g/cm3, a porosity of 41.31%, and heat loss of 11.41 %, compressive strength of 1.36 MPa, and hardness of 99.15 MPa. The surface morphology results showed that the sample has evenly distributed pore sizes of 10.54 m, 10.77 m, and 12.15 m, which is called a macroporous ceramic with a pore size of > 50 nm.
