Fuel element manufacturing includes deformation process and annealing. Annealing process will change the properties of the metal. Thermal treatment will affect the nature of mechanical, physical and thermal properties of metal. This research aims to investigate the effects of thermal treatment on the properties of the materials, especially the hardness and phase of the metal alloy. Annealing process was carried out above recrystallization temperature and below melting point of the metal, e.g. 450°C, 500°C and 550°C. The hardness of Al-Fe-Ni alloy was determined by using Vickers method. The microstructure was observed by optical microscopy and grain microstructure was analyzed by DAS method. The phase structure analysis was done based on x-ray diffraction pattern. Heat treatment at three different temperatures of 450°C, 500°C and 550°C resulted in material hardness of 53 HV, 60 HV and 55 HV, respectively. Between 450°C - 500°C, the hardness of Al-Fe-Ni increased with increasing annealing temperature. On the other hand, above 500°C, the alloy hardness decreased with increasing annealing temperature. Optical metallographic observation results showed that the microstructure tends to change along with temperature increase. The microstructure of the Al-Fe-Ni alloy showed grain structure of dendritic that tends to wane at 550°C. Diffraction pattern analysis indicated that the formation of phase tended to increase at 500°C. The x-ray diffraction pattern also showed the tendency of formation of k (NiAl3) and τ (FeNiAl9) phase at 450°C. At 500°C the tendency was to form the phase τ (FeNiAl9), θ (FeAl3) and phase k (NiAl3). Meanwhile, τ (FeNiAl9) phase was preferably to form at 550°C. It was found that in the range of observed temperature, the maximum hardness of Al-Fe-Ni alloy was obtained at 500°C.

Co-processing technology in cement industry is defined as the technology to use wastes such as used oil, scrap tires and other organic wastes in order to reduce fossil fuel consumption. This technology also allows the utilization of material elements contained in the wastes such as alumina, silica and iron to substitute some of raw materials used in cement industry. In Europe, this technology is also known as co-incinerator and being used widely. Hazardous waste disposal in Indonesia is done traditionally using incineration technology. The incineration technology may result toxic ashes that require further treatment before it can be dumped into a secure landfill. Big industries that have combustion reactor system with high temperature such as cement industry, steel industry and power generation could utilize co-processing technology as their long term strategy to reduce both fossil and raw material consumptions. If this technology can be consistently applied in the big industries, it has big potential to reduce the use of fossil fuel (and global warming) and to lower the risk due to traditional hazardous waste disposal. Some keys for successful implementation of the co-processing technology in cement industries include the appropriate selection of feeding method and location; consistency in energy content of the wastes and waste treatments that are compliance with safety and environmental laws. Care should be taken in the use of this technology due to the variation in composition, shape and size of the wastes and its water and impurities content so that these variations would not affect the plant operation stability and the product quality.

The objectives of this research were to extract cashew tree gum (CTG) from cashew tree exudates and to modify it into a new drying aid, which can act as a substitute for Arabic gum. The cost problem faced in the spray drying of fruit juices is expected to be solved with the use of modified CTG as a replacement of Arabic gum. The CTG was extracted and precipitated from its raw cashew exudates solution with the help of ethanol as antisolvent. Glycerine and wheat starch were the additives used in the modification of the gum. The good quality of modified CTG was obtained based on their close similarity to Arabic gum properties.

Empty palm oil bunch waste is about 23% of the fresh bunches which is rich with important macro and micro nutrients for plant growth. However, those have not been optimally utilized. The objective of this experiment was to develop and to evaluate the inoculums which could be used to make compost from empty palm oil bunch wastes. The inoculums consisted of fungies and bacteria isolated from the empty palm oil bunches. The isolates were then grown and fermented on to a particular media. The inoculums were then evaluated at laboratory scale according to the following methods. About 2 kg of 2 cm long crushed empty palm oil bunches were put in particular places and were then inoculated by the inoculums at a dosage of 500 and 1000 ml/ton of wastes. The experiment was done at triplicates and the relative humidity during the experiment was kept constant at 60%, and temperature was recorded until the end of the experiment. Water, carbon, nitrogen, phosphor, potassium, and magnesium contents of the composts were analysed. The inoculums that consisted of fungies and bacteria were successfully developed and it was called “Indigenous Microbial Consortium”. The inoculums could be used to make good quality of composts.

Nitrocellulose production from sago fibers was conducted in two steps, i.e. delignification and nitration processes. This work studied the nitration process of sago fiber cellulose. Before nitration, the lignin was removed using the nitrate soda process utilizing nitric acid and sodium hydroxide. The nitration process used an acid solution consisting of nitric acid and sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The process was carried out in a three neck flask equipped with stirrer and temperature control. The effects of reaction time, nitric acid concentration, and sulfuric to nitric acid ratio were investigated. The results showed that the best operating conditions obtained for the reaction time, cellulose to mixed acid ratio and sulfuric to nitric acid ratio were 1.5 hours, 1:20 and 1:4 respectively in which the product yield and nitrogen content were found to be 151.22% and 13.39%. This nitrogen content was close to the theoretical maximum nitrogen content of 14.14%.
