Abstract

There is an increasing need for clean water for human health and the environment, so the removal of toxic metals from wastewater with low-cost adsorbents plays an essential role. In this research, the synthesis of cashew gum (CG) polysaccharide (arabinogalactan)-acrylamide (Am) (CG-AM) hydrogel was carried out with three independent variables: Hydration ratio (ml/g), amount of monomer (acrylamide, Am) (g) and concentration of crosslinker (methylene-bisacrylamide, MBA) (%) by radical polymerisation. The removal efficiency of Pb2+ and Cd2+ from the stock solution of lead nitrate and cadmium sulphate by adsorption technique was also studied by optimisation using BBD of RSM. Furthermore, the functional and structural properties of all types of hydrogels were analysed by characterisation with FTIR, (XRD), (SEM) with EDS and swelling capacity analysis. An optimum hydrogel yield of 4.527 g was obtained at a hydration ratio of 10 ml/g, monomer amount of 2.5 g and crosslinker concentration of 3% w/v of one gram of extracted arabinogalactan. For Pb2+ removal, 86.985 % removal efficiency was obtained at a hydration ratio of 25 ml/g, monomer amount of 1g and crosslinker concentration of 1%, while for Cd2+ removal, 18.875 % removal efficiency was obtained at a hydration ratio of 10 ml/g, monomer amount of 4g and crosslinker concentration of 2%. (CG-AM)H Pb2+ had the highest swelling capacity of 11.072 g H2O/g polymer hydrogel but (CG-AM)H had the lowest of 5.322 g H2O/g polymer hydrogel due to crosslinking capacity. The FTIR result, the (CG-AM)H Pb2+ showed a significant peak of C-O stretching of the S-glycosidic bond of hydrogel to absorb the Pb2+ ions. From XRD and SEM results, (CG-AM)H Pb2+ showed an amorphous nature of hygroscopic properties and a three-dimensional network structure with open pores.

Abstract

There is no comprehensive understanding of the relationship between the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and the International Roughness Index (PCI) in rural road in Myanmar, which is important for developing effective and efficient maintenance strategies. This study evaluated the relationship between the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and the International Roughness Index (IRI) in flexible rural roads in Myanmar. The aim of this study is to examine how these two key variables correlate and how their relationship can optimize maintenance strategies. Data were collected from ten flexible rural roads in Shan State over 3 years, divided into 25-meter subsections per road. The analysis showed that PCI and IRI have a strong negative linear relationship, with an R-value (0.748) and an R-squared value (0.559). The study demonstrates the significance of IRI as a key predictor of pavement condition by showing that IRI can account for 55.9% of the variability in PCI. The study concluded that increasing IRI leads to a fall in the PCI, suggesting poorer pavement conditions. These findings emphasize incorporating IRI measurements in pavement maintenance planning to ensure smoother and safer roads, especially in rural areas. The results contribute to more effective and sustainable maintenance practices, optimizing resource allocation and extending pavement lifespan.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of short tutorial videos in teaching the essential operation of lathe machines in mechanical engineering. Utilizing the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the research was conducted at SMK N 1 Sumatera Barat, involving 65 vocational school students. The short tutorial videos were designed to enhance students' comprehension and cognitive ability in lathe machine operations, addressing the challenges posed by traditional teaching methods. Data were collected through questionnaires and practical tests to assess students' understanding and skills. The findings revealed that the short tutorial videos significantly improved students' comprehension and cognitive ability, although variations in understanding levels were observed. Normality tests confirmed a normal data distribution, allowing for the use of paired sample t-tests, which indicated no significant difference between the Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Mechanical Engineering groups after using the tutorials. Validation by media and content experts demonstrated the high quality and relevance of the instructional material. This study underscores the importance of developing more interactive and adaptive learning media and highlights the need to explore further other factors influencing cognitive ability.

Abstract

This study conducts a systematic literature review to evaluate the impact of Project-based Learning (PjBL) to vocational education and its effects on developing 21st-century skills. Utilizing the PRISMA framework, the study analyzes 21 articles from an initial pool of 1,036 papers from Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The included literature consists of articles published within the last five years (2019-2024) and systematically examines the findings from relevant studies. The analysis results demonstrate that PjBL is crucial in preparing students for a dynamic, technology-driven workforce by enhancing skills such as learning and innovation, information, media, technology, and life and career skills. Despite challenges in implementing PjBL, such as insufficient technological proficiency, inadequate resources, and misaligned curricula, PjBL offers opportunities to develop more effective pedagogical approaches aligned with industry needs. The study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between educators, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to address these challenges and improve vocational education quality. Additionally, the study identifies the need for further research to bridge existing gaps, particularly in developing information, media, and technology skills. Therefore, PjBL is a potential method for equipping students with essential skills for the ever-evolving job market.

Abstract

PLA has been developed to replace plastic because it is degradable. For more advanced applications, more research is needed on PLA. This study investigates the tribological properties of phenolic resin, nylon, and PLA/CNC composites under varying sliding distances and loads. Both phenolic resin and nylon demonstrate exceptional wear resistance and stable friction coefficients. PLA/CNC composites exhibit improved wear resistance, showing a 17% reduction in friction coefficient at a 3 wt.% CNC content. While the wear volume of PLA/CNC composites increases with sliding distance, the addition of CNC enhances PLA’s self-lubricating properties and overall wear resistance. The correlation between dissipated energy and wear volume confirms that higher CNC content significantly improves the durability of PLA. These findings suggest that CNC has considerable potential as an additive to enhance the tribological performance of PLA composites, making it a valuable material for various applications requiring superior wear resistance.

Abstract

Copper extraction technologies are constantly being improved including chemical oxidants. However, chemical oxidants slightly increase the extraction. Thus, this study aims to increase copper extraction using bacterial oxidation as oxidizing reagent. It also compares extraction results between standard leaching with sulfuric acid and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans with amino acids nutrient medium. Ore from Zhezkazgan deposit that contains chrysocolla, malachite and iron hydroxide was used as a sample. The ore was dug from a 6m depth. The initial sample was crushed, grinded, mixed, and reduced before preliminary biooxidation by bacterial culture of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. A mineralogical study of ore was conducted to confirm the copper contains, other compounds and phase composition as well. Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans were cultured within the nutrient medium of amino acid. This study chooses amino acid serine L, glycine, and asparagine to provide optimum bacterial cell of A. Ferrooxidants. Results showed that preliminary biooxidation by bacterial culture of A.Ferrooxidans increased copper extraction significantly. Further, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans that grow in the nutrient medium containing L-Serine have the highest effect on copper extraction.
