Abstract

Acoustics play a crucial role in advancing technology and industry by mitigating moise, which is an uwanted byproduct of many devices. However, existing tools for testing acoustic properties often lack automation and calibration, which limits their realibility and usability. This study introduces the development of a test device designed to measure the sound absorption coefficient of materials using the two-microphone impedance tube method. The device incorporates a PVC tube, an Arduino Nano Microcontroller, and an OLED display for real-time data analysis and visualization. The proposed device offers simplicity, portability, and improved measurement accuracy compared to existing solutions. The method involves measuring sound intensity and absorption coefficients using direct dan indirect techniques. Experimentals results demonstrate that the device achieves an average accuracy rate of 20.38%, with consistent absorption coefficient values across repeated tests. The frequency range tested aligns with the performance limits of the device, further confirming its reliability. In conclusion, the developed device provides a practical and reliable solution for testing acoustic materials, addressing the limitations of previous methods.

Abstract

The current research is conducted to study the effect of varying compositions of SiO2-Chitosan on the changes occurring in the functional groups available in cellulose paper that shows hydrophobic nature, which can be used for water and oil separation purposes. The composite layer studied is the silica-chitosan solution coated over the cellulose paper using the dip-coating method. Varying compositions of SiO2-chitosan studied are (0.6g:0.3g), and (0.3g:0.6g). Characterization by FTIR revealed the presence of the main functional groups, i.e., Si-O-Si, C-H, C-O, N-O, N-H, C-N, and O-H, with a range of 938-3784 cm⁻¹ strain. The identification of these functional groups attests to the incorporation of the SiO2-chitosan compound on the surface of the cellulose paper. This functionalization imparted a hydrophobic layer, as demonstrated by the capacity of each composition to cause the characteristic spectrum of the SiO2-chitosan compound. The results of this study confirm that the modification of SiO2-Kitosan composition has significant influences on the chemical properties and physical stability of the composite coating. This result explains the great potential of cellulose-based materials in water and oil separation technology. In addition, these results enable the development of sustainable materials with great efficiency in fluid separation applications.

Abstract

The introduction of organic compound enriched wastewater into aquatic environments can cause a drop in dissolved oxygen, with significant consequences for microorganisms living in such environments. Ultimately, this problem jeopardizes the survival of higher trophic level animals in such environments. In recent times, new membrane technology development has received a lot of attraction, with membrane processes becoming increasingly utilized in oily wastewater separation processes. Membrane processes have proven effective in the removal of oils in water during such separation processes. An effective membrane for such a purpose is a silica composite membrane with a hydrophobic property, synthesized with a cellulose paper substrate and a silica of rice husks for use in creating an active membrane layer. In one part of a current investigation, dyeing duration impact was considered through changing immersion times for SiO2-chitosan nanocomposite coated filter paper for 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes. In such a study, contact angles for 5, 10, 15, and 20-minutes' immersion times have been measured and documented at 94.35°, 98.53°, 101.04°, and 104.34°, respectively. In addition, an evaluation was performed to assess water and oil separation effectiveness with cellulose paper coated with SiO2/Chitosan composite, with efficiencies of 80%, 85%, 87.5%, and 90%, respectively, documented for such processes.

Abstract

Volcanic ash consists of fine particles that are ejected into the atmosphere during an eruption of a volcano. The volcanic ash that will be tested in this study comes from the Aia Angek area of West Sumatra, which erupted in December 2023 to February 2024. The goal of this research was to assess the quantity of montmorillonite found in the volcanic ash originating from Marapi. In order to reach this objective, various examinations were conducted for characterization utilizing XRF, XRD, FTIR and SEM. The XRF data results show that the largest montmorillonite elements in volcanic ash are SiO2 dan Al2O3. The XRD test results show that there are 6 types of montmorillonite contained in Marapi volcanic ash, namely Chlorite-vermiculite-montmorillonite, Montmorillonite (Clay), Illite-Montmorillonite regular, Monmorillonite, Montmorillonite 15-A and Montmorillonite heated. The FTIR test results show that the peak band 3669-467/cm contains the chemical composition of montmorillonite. Based on the SEM test analysis, it shows the morphology of montmorillonite from Marapi volcanic ash with a particle size of 301,9 nm and a porosity size of 151,6 nm. Thus, based on the results of the five characterizations carried out, it is known that the Marapi volcanic ash does contain complex montmorillonite.

Abstract

Abstract: Electrical power is essential to human life, but dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels is driving the need for alternative energy development such as solar power. Conventional systems without solar trackers cause the efficiency of solar panels to decrease because they cannot optimally follow the movement of the sun. In this research, an Arduino-based dual-axis solar tracker is developed that can move on two axes (horizontal and vertical) to increase the efficiency of solar energy absorption and is equipped with a rain sensor to protect solar panels. This system has the advantage of maximizing energy absorption and providing additional protection from environmental conditions. The test results show the relationship between sunlight intensity and the voltage generated by the solar panel, the higher the sunlight intensity (lux), the higher the voltage generated by the solar panel. For example, at an intensity of 1,300 lux, the voltage reaches 4.7 volts, while at an intensity of 55 lux, the voltage decreases to 0.3 volts. The relationship between the light intensity and the analog reading of the LDR sensor shows that the higher the light intensity received, the higher the analog reading produced by the sensor. At low light intensities, such as 190 lux, the LDR readings at each position (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right) tend to be different, reflecting the uneven distribution of light. In contrast, at higher light intensities, such as 500 lux, the LDR readings are larger and more evenly distributed, indicating that the solar panel is already in the optimal position perpendicular to the direction of incoming sunlight.Keywords: Solar Tracker, LDR Sensor, Intensity, Voltage, Lux Meter.
