Abstract

Research has been conducted on the mixing of Oil Palm Boiler Ash (ABKS) and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) as a filler for rubber compounds to improve the mechanical properties of rubber compounds which include tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus of elasticity, hardness and swelling tests. The filler used to make rubber compounds is ABKS nanoparticles and TiO2 with variations in composition (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) % by weight. The manufacture of rubber compounds is done by grinding SIR-20 rubber and then mixing it with chemicals, ABKS nanoparticles and TiO2 in an open mill. After that, the rubber was moulded with a size of 15 cm long x 15 cm wide x 0.18 cm thick at 45o C according to SNI 18 - 6478 - 2000 standard. The best composition of the mechanical properties of rubber compounds using ABKS-TiO2 fillers for tensile tests obtained tensile strength values at 6% filler composition which is 2.3 Mpa. Elongation at break with the composition of 4, 6 and 8% filler material is 90%. The hardness test obtained the hardness value in the composition of 8% filler material is 57 Shore A. As a result of the compound swelling test, the development value of the 4% filler composition compound was obtained, which experienced a development of 98.73% for 72 hours.

Abstract

The making of coffee grounds briquettes was carried out at the Rena briquette house which was followed several tests then are done with the objectives of (i) to determining out the compressive strength and calorific value with the DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) test. (ii) To find out if there are differences in the characteristics of the briquettes due to the influence of combustion temperature. (iii) To determine whether there are differences in briquette morphology due to the effect of temperature analyzed by SEM test. Briquette research made from coffee grounds waste with briquette combustion temperature using a furnace of 150˚C and 250˚C, tapioca adhesive at 10% for both different temperature variations. Molding using a hydraulic press with a pressure of 1900 psi. Drying temperature of coffee grounds and briquettes using sunlight. The heating value at 150˚C was highest at the third peak point at 154.52 cal/g, and lowest at the second point at 3.86 cal/g. At 250˚C, the highest was 12.86 cal/g at the second peak, and the lowest was 8.39 cal/g at the first peak. The compressive strength at 150˚C was 1.98 - 3.44 kg/cm2, while at 250˚C it was 0.89 - 3.19 kg/cm2. SEM analysis of the morphological structure of the briquettes at 150˚C showed carbon particles that were closer than other carbon particle structures with small pores. The distance between the particles is tenuous with other particles not yet perfectly bonded so that there is a void of space. Whereas at 250˚C seen from SEM analysis the morphological structure has a smooth surface and shows the distance between some carbon particles that are connected to tenuous carbon particles may be caused by cracks so that they are not bound together.

Characterizations carried out include FTIR, UV-VIS-NIR Spectrophotometer, Abbe Refractometer, Spectrofluorophotometer. To study the physical properties, the optical properties were examined through their absorption and luminescence spectra. The luminescence spectrum is known by photoluminescence. Characteristic luminescence bands corresponding to electronic transitions of terbium ions were detected under two direct excitations of Tb3+ ions. After 377 nm excitation, the glass sample obtained terbium 5D4→ 7F5 transition at 544 nm indicating green laser. The application of green laser has been investigated with CIE coordinate diagram.

Abstract

In this study, microtremor wave measurements were carried out using the HVSR (Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio) method to identify earthquake vulnerability in Pangururuan District, Samosir, North Sumatra. In this study, measurements were made at 4 points scattered around the area so that the data obtained represented data in the area. Measurement of signal recording data was carried out for 50-60 minutes for each measurement point. Based on the results obtained, the dominant frequency value of the soil is in the range of 2.29 - 12.78 with a very high classification at points RGR1, RGR3 and RGR4 with type I soil classification, namely hard rock, and point RGR2 is classified as low with type IV soil classification, namely soft soil. While the amplification value in Pangururan District is still classified as a low amplification category with an amplification value of <3.

Abstract

Sembahe Village is an area that is highly vulnerable to landslides. This is caused by steep topographic conditions and high rainfall. This research is intended to understand the characteristics and distribution of dominant frequencies, amplification factors and seismic vulnerability index on the possibility of landslides. Microtremor measurements were carried out in Hamlet 3 Sembahe Village at 2 location points which were measured using a portable seismograph / Pegasus for 2 hours with a sampling frequency. 100 Hz. Microtremor data was processed using Geopsy software using the Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) method and each parameter was weighted using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) statistical method in determining potential landslide areas. The results obtained show that the distribution of dominant frequency values (F0) is 5.36 Hz – 5.33 Hz, amplification (A0) is 1.84 – 1.59, seismic vulnerability index (Kg) is 0.63 x 10-3s2 / cm - 0.47 x 10-3 s2/cm. Based on weight analysis using the AHP statistical method, the location point that has the highest potential for landslides is point 1
