Abstract

Hydroponic plant cultivation is a method of agriculture for saving land. Hydroponic plants have special needs that have to be monitored every day. One of the special needs that is not considered in hydroponic plants is the pH level in the nutrient solution. The pH value needed for each plant is different. The importance of the pH value is controlled because pH is a factor in the ability of plants to absorb nutrients in solution. The solution to this problem is to design a pH control system for hydroponic plants based internet of things. The control system has the aim to stabilize the pH level of nutrients automatically and the measurement can be monitored remotely. This type of research is engineering research. The procedures of engineering research were explaining the ideas that were made, designing the conceptual control system, explaining the arrangement functions, designing in detail, making a prototype, and testing the prototype. Data collection techniques are done directly and indirectly. Direct measurement was related to measuring the output voltage and pH of an acid or base solution. Indirectly measurement related to determining the accuracy and precision of the instrument controlling the pH of the solution. Data analysis technique was used tables and data plots in graphical form. Based on data analysis there are five research results. First, performance specifications consisting of a pH sensor and its converter, automatic valves and electronic circuits namely NodeMCU and relays. Second, the addition of acid solution decreases the pH value and the output voltage. Third, the addition of a base solution increases the pH value and the output voltage. Fourth, the accuracy and presicion in laboratory scale test of the pH control system are in the 99.80% and 99.90% for acid solutions while in the basic solutions 98.26% and 98.34%. Fifth, in the field test results that the control instrument has high accuracy with a pH stability that is 6.016 until 6.982.

Abstract

Padang city has landfill located in Air Dingin Village Balai Gadang  Koto Tangah Subdistrict of Padang. This landfill has some leachates  that assumed there is seepage from leachate pond to the river and drain. The results observation present that the river is decomposed and its color is changed so it obliged to research about Pollutants of Landfill (TPA) Padang City Mineral Magnetic Basis. The purpose of the research is to determinate grain size and mineral magnetic domain in Leachates of Landfill (TPA) Padang City by using ARM (Anhysteretic Remanent Magnetization) Method. The samples research were 6 samples that taken from leachate pond, the river, and drain at landfill (TPA) area. Measuring instruments that utilized were Ekman Grab, Susceptibility Meter, Molsfin AF demagnetizer, PARM ( Partial Anhysteretic Remanent Magnetization) and Minispin Magnetometer. The data collection was analyzed by plotting the correlation between relative intensity (I/Io) and magnetic field by using Lowrie and Fuller Kurve Test as comparative kurve for measuring grain size and magnetic domain.  The research results showed that grain size of leachate pond sample is about 6 μm up to 135 μm, whereas grain size of river and drain samples are about 110 μm up to 135 μm. Magnetic domain sample was obtained of the research result is pseudo single domain (PSD) and multi domain (MD). Grain size was obtained from river and drain sample bigger than grain size of leachate pond sample. Mineral magnetic of leachate pond is more disposed to PSD whereas mineral magnetic of river and drain is more disposed to  MD. Based on the results, the river and drain samples are expected that it has contaminated mineral magnetic of leachate pond (anthropogenic)

Abstract

Ceramic pellet has been made for the Negative Thermal Coefficient (NTC) thermistor from Fe2O3 base material of yarosite mineral. The powder of Fe2O3and ZrO2 is mixed and then crushed until homogeneous for ± 30 minutes. The mixture of the powder is pressed with 60 ton/cm2 to form a pellet on the 8 mm diameter mold. The pellets are sintered at a temperature of 1200oC for 3 hours in a furnace with atmospheric air. The pellet from the sintering process is coated with silver as an electrode. Next will be characterized using XRD (X-Ray Diffractometer), SEM (Scan Electron Microscope) and electrical characterization. Based on the results of XRD analysis it is known that the ceramics formed with the addition of ZrO2 0% doping, ZrO2 1% and ZrO2 3% have hexagonal hematite structure. Grain size based on SEM analysis, for each addition of 0% doping, ZrO2 1% and ZrO2 3% respectively is 10.81 μm; 11.51 μm and 10.24 μm. Results of measurement of electrical resistance, thermistor constant value is 3322 K, 3645 K and 5873 K. Conclusion in this study is the addition of ZrO2 does not affect the crystal structure formed based on the analysis using XRD. Addition of ZrO2 into Fe2O3 ceramic causes the grain size is relatively unchanged significantly. Based on the measurement of lstric resistance, the greater the ZrO2 addition concentration, the greater the resistance value at room temperature and the resulting thermistor constant

Abstract

Many industrial processes such as steel and cement production produces shaped particles of dust and fly ash. The particles containing pollutants shaped magnetic minerals belonging to the type of iron sulfide minerals iron and titanium sulfide. These pollutants come from the burning of coal. Basically, before burning coal is not magnetic. In the combustion process produces pyrite which decompose and form pyrrhotite and sulfur gases. At temperatures above about 1350 K, pyrrhotite decomposes into iron and sulfur. Iron (Fe) is the most dangerous heavy metals contained in the topsoil. In this study measured the magnetic susceptibility values and elemental composition to analyze the elemental composition Fe of the magnetic susceptibility values,The sample in this study is the topsoil. Measurements of magnetic susceptibility values topsoil samples performed using magnetic susceptibility meter. Then the measurement of the elemental composition of ten samples using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer. Measurement data plotted in the form of a graph to show the relationship of the value of the elemental composition of Fe magnetic suseptbilitas. Meanwhile, the results of magnetic susceptibility meter, magnetic susceptibility values can inform the type of magnetic minerals based on magnetic susceptibility values.The results of this study indicate that the intensity of the magnetic susceptibility is not only influenced by the composition of the elements Fe, but also influenced by other elements contained in topsoil samples, such as Al, Si, Ca, and Ti. Weight percentage of Fe and Ti derived from the main constituent mineral iron is ilmenite, are paramagn

Abstract

So far the plastics used are made of synthetic polymer materials that  are difficult to decompose in nature and their availability is very limited. The use of synthetic plastics increases every year so that it has an impact in the form of environmental pollution. Therefore, the effort can be made to tackle plastic waste, namely by replacing the use of synthetic plastics with biodegradable plastics. Biodegradable plastics used are made from natural materials, for example, starch. The starch used in this study was avocado seeds. Determination of the quality of biodegradable plastics is based on the results of tensile tests, elongation tests, and biodegradation tests of biodegradable plastics. The steps involved in determining the optimum conditions for CMC with a variation of CMC used as much as 15%, 20%, 25% (w/w starch), the second stage is determining the optimum conditions for sorbitol with a variation of 20%, 30%, 40% (w/w starch), the third stage is mixing avocado seeds starch with sorbitol and CMC of 20% by weight of avocado starch. The optimum condition for CMC was obtained from the addition of 3 grams of avocado seed starch and 20% CMC of starch (w/w starch) with the resulting tensile strength value of 9,07 MPa and 21,39% elongation, while the optimum  condition for sorbitol was obtained from the addition of 3 grams of avocado seed starch and sorbitol of 40% by weight of avocado starch with a tensile strength value of 7,79 MPa and 24,38% elongation while the highest tensile strength value from mixing sorbitol and CMC was obtained from the addition of sorbitol concentrations of 40% by weight of avocado starch and CMC 20% by weight of avocado seed starch, namely 3,79 MPa and elongation of 32,61%. Percent of  lost plastic weight has increased day by day. The largest percentage loss of biodegradable plastic weight was obtained from the addition of sorbitol concentrations as much as 20% w/w starch and CMC 20% w/w starch, which was 91,67%. The biodegradable plastic made from avocado seed starch is almost completely biodegradable by the eighth day.
