Abstract

The rise of clinical activities is one of the health care facilities that have the potential to pollute wastewater on organic compounds and especially pathogenic microorganisms. Technology in reducing organic and pathogenic content using combined ultraviolet filtration in wastewater treatment systems is one the effective method. Filtration uses activated carbon and silica with a variation of the ratio 2:3 and 3:2, while ultraviolet use a power variation of 9 watts and 15 watts. The results obtained are the best composition from the filtration process, which is a ratio of 2: 3 with the ultraviolet process using 15 watts using an exposure time of 5 hours with the remaining total coliform as much as 200 MPN/100mL. The results of this research have complied with the quality standards.

Abstract

Struvite is a white crystalline chemical known as magnesium ammonium phosphorus hexahydrate (MgNH4PO4.6H2O). Struvite is soluble in acidic conditions and slightly soluble in neutral and alkaline conditions. In industry, struvite is known as scale in pipes. Urinary stones can be called struvite because struvite crystals can form easily in the urine of animals and humans infected with ammonia organisms produced in the urine. Struvite can potentially be formed by alkaline urine and high magnesium excretion due to a high magnesium plant- based diet. The formation of struvite minerals is carried out in an insulated reactor by mixing a solution of MgCl2, NH4OH, and H3PO4 in a ratio of 1:1:1. The treatment of struvite mineral formation was carried out with a feed inlet rate of 35 ml/minute, the temperature at the reactor was carried out at 30oC while the intake air rate was carried out in the range of 0.25-1.25 liters/min. The pH of the solution was kept at a value of 9. The process was carried out until a steady state was reached.  The formation of struvite minerals using an insulated column reactor was obtained at conditions of pH 9, operating temperature of 30oC and air rate of 1.25L/min.

Abstract

Indonesian people's reliance on diesel fuel is still quite strong, as seen by the rising yearly use of diesel. Because diesel is a fossil fuel that is not renewable, rising diesel usage is a concern that must be anticipated. One approach to deal with this is to switch from fossil fuels to biofuels like biodiesel. Because Indonesia is the world's largest producer of palm oil, biodiesel from palm oil is an alternative. Although biodiesel may potentially be used directly in diesel engines, there are few researches on the impacts of utilizing it and the possibility for further development. As a result, the goal of this research is to look at the combustion temperature of B100 and B20 fuels in long-term testing. Two Kubota diesel engines with 376 cc cylinder volumes are used in this investigation. Each engine will be connected to a generator that will provide 4000 W of electricity to the halogen bulbs. The two engines will run on separate fuels, with the first using B20 and the second on B100 from palm oil. The engine has a continuous rotational speed of 2200 rpm and has been running for 300 hours without stopping. The combustion temperature of the cylinder head, cylinder block, and exhaust gas pipe is measured every multiple of 4 hours. With 1.7 percent, 1.2 percent, and 2.7 percent, respectively, the B100 engine delivers lower combustion temperatures in the cylinder head, cylinder block, and pipe exhaust gas.

Abstract

The use of fuel is currently increasing, as well as the increasing number of plastic waste that comes from household and industrial waste. The need for processing plastic waste to reduce the volume of waste is very necessary. One type of plastic waste is the type of polypropylene. This type of polypropylene plastic waste is a type of waste that can be used as a basic material to produce alternative fuels in the types of diesel, gasoline, and kerosene. In this research work, a test will be carried out to determine the cetane number of this type of diesel fuel produced by the pyrolysis process, to the treatment of temperature and time variables so that a high cetane number is produced. Plastic waste processing uses pyrolysis and distillation methods to produce alternative fuels with processing temperatures of 190ºC, 200ºC, and 225ºC in 3 hours, 4 hours, and 5 hours. From testing the cetane number on the pyrolysis fuel, the cetane number from the process of making this alternative fuel itself reached the highest number, namely 64.1 at a processing time of 5 hours at a temperature of 200ºC.

Abstract

The installation of elbow ducting in closed-loop wind tunnel installation will cause a pressure drop. Pressure drop was caused by flow separation and secondary flow phenomenon in the elbow ducting. The test section used in this experimental study was an octagonal elbow 90º with radius ratio (rm/Dh) = 0.6. Diameter hydraulic (Dh) elbow of 806 mm. In this study, the Reynolds number is measured based on the free flow velocity (U∞) inlet section, that is ReDh = 4.63x105. The experimental results showed the pressure drop is ΔCp = 1.46 for Re = 4.63x105. This difference in pressure value between the outer and inner (ΔCp) of the elbow ducting was caused by secondary flow. The secondary flow was observed through a horizontal velocity profile where at xi/Dh = 1.35, fluid flow was accelerated on the inner wall and decelerated on the outer wall of the ducting elbow. Then, at xi/Dh = 1.63 to xi/Dh = 2.01, there are gradual shifts of the velocity profile where the fluid flow is accelerated toward the outer wall.

Abstract

Struvite was a white crystal known as Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate Hexahydrate (MgNH4PO4.6H2O). In industry, struvite was found in the pipes crust which the hot fluid through passes. Struvite is often used as fertilizer because it contains phosphate content. The one of benefits of struvite crystals is slow release fertilizer, so it can be more durable, which is good for the growth of the plants. The Precipitation technology is currently one of the most widely applied technologies in struvite formation. The process of forming struvite is carried out by using a vertical reactor. The process started by mixing the equimolar solutions of MgCl2, NH4OH, and H3PO4 with a concentration ratio of 1: 1: 1 and 1: 1: 2. Theprocess was carried out with the condition at the 30°C while the air inlet rate was 1.25 liters/min. The pH of the solution is pH 9 and controlled using NaOH solution. The process was carried out in the steady state condition. Then the solution was filtered and solid was dried at room temperature for 48 hours. From this study, the concentration ratio of 1:1:2 was obtained the best of struvite compared to the others ratio. The solid was analyzed by using the SEM-EDX instrument. The morphology of struvite was formed an irregular pyramid like crystal or commonly referred to as an authorhombic shape.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the wear mechanism of UHMWPE acetabular liner. There were three samples of acetabular liner with variations without crosslink, with crosslink doses of 50 kGy and 100 kGy which were subjected to a wear testing process. The wear test was carried out using a Tribometer wear testing machine with a total of 30,000 cycles and a load of 800N. Microstructure analysis was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the surface of the UHMWPE acetabular liner with the crosslink treatment is smoother than the untreated one. This shows that UHMWPE with crosslink treatment has a lower wear rate, where the greater the crosslink dose the lower the wear rate. The wear mechanism that occurs in this study is the third body abrasion which leads to adhesive wear.

Abstract

A magnesium oxide and titanium (II) oxide nanocomposite, MgO/TiO2 was synthesized to improve its surface area thus its adsorption capability may be risen. The synthesis was applying sol-gel method, combining MgO and TiO2 nanoparticles with NaOH becomes a nanocomposite with higher surface area. The pH effect on adsorption were analyzed. The expectation of using MgO/TiO2 compared with TiO2 and MgO alone is it may react faster on an adsorption trial with remazol turquoise blue dye, and the TiO2 may give its photocatalysis ability to the synthesized material. Less acid the condition of the solution, the capability of the MgO/TiO2 catalyst on adsorbing the remazol turquoise blue dye will increasing. After 90 minutes, the photocatalysis rate surpass the adsorption rate and reach equilibrium.
