Abstract

Electromagnetic wave absorption technology is one of the technologies that need to be developed to control the problems caused by Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). This technology has created a material called Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) that Making RAM can be formed with material modifications such as nanocomposite materials. The manufacture of Fe3O4 nanocomposites and Graphene Oxide (GO) synthesized from coconut shell waste is one of the studies that need to be studied and developed at this time. Variations in the composition of Fe3O4 and GO used can determine the ability of microwave absorption. This study aims to analyze the microwave absorbing properties of Fe3O4/GO nanocomposites from coconut shell waste. The materials used to make this nanocomposite are magnetite (Fe3O4) and GO synthesized from coconut shell waste. This research uses experimental methods, with variations in the composition ratio between Fe3O4 and GO, namely 20% Fe3O4: 80% GO, 30% Fe3O4: 70% GO, and 40% Fe3O4: 60% GO. Characterization was carried out using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) to determine the nature of microwave absorption. The VNA characterization results found the influence of variations between Fe3O4 and GO composites. Based on the research results, the lowest absorption coefficient percentage was 95.50% at a frequency of 8.38 GHz for the composition variation of 20% Fe3O4 and 80% GO. The highest absorption coefficient was 96.43% at a frequency of 8.42 GHz for the composition of 40% Fe3O4 and 60% GO. The addition of Fe3O4 can make the absorption value of the material to microwaves higher.

Abstract

This study was analyzed the distribution of thermal neutron flux and gamma ray dose rate in the Kartini rector thermal column modified by replacing graphite material with briquettes and coconut shell powder as a moderator using Monte Carlo simulation, PHITS. The particle source uses neutrons with energies of 3 MeV, 4 MeV, and 5 MeV placed in front of the thermal column. The results showed that of the four modifications, only design 2 of the thermal column with briquettes at 3 MeV energy met the IAEA standard for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). The thermal column material with coconut shell powder does not meet the IAEA standard. This shows that coconut shell briquettes are more effective in moderating fast neutrons than coconut shell powder because the briquettes have the characteristic of greater density, which is almost the same value as the density of graphite.

Abstract

A simple spectrophotometer utilizing a white LED light source (520 nm wavelength) and a TEMT600 light sensor has been successfully developed to measure the concentration and absorbance of protein solutions. This device demonstrated an impressive average measurement accuracy of 96.26% for concentration and 95.97% for absorbance, making it highly effective for protein analysis. Despite its reliability, certain deviations were observed in the measurement results, primarily attributed to unpredictable environmental fluctuations and suboptimal sample preparation. These factors contributed to an average deviation of 3.74% for concentration and 4.25% for absorbance. While these deviations are relatively minimal and within an acceptable range, they highlight areas for potential improvement in future designs. Nevertheless, the tool is considered suitable for accurately measuring protein solution concentration and absorbance, proving its capability for laboratory or educational purposes. Its simplicity and cost-effectiveness make it a valuable device for routine protein analysis

Abstract

Perisai neutron termal merupakan suatu struktur atau material yang memegang peranan penting dalam proteksi radiasi neutron termal untuk menghindari dampak negatif dari paparan radiasi secara langsung, baik terhadap lingkungan maupun kesehatan manusia. Pada penelitian ini, digunakan silikon-karet sebagai material utama perisai neutron, sedangkan asam borat berfungsi sebagai penyerap neutron termal, sehingga keakuratan informasi mengenai sifat redaman dan proteksi perisai neutron yang dirancang menjadi sangat penting. Beberapa parameter perisai radiasi yang harus dievaluasi dalam menentukan kinerja material perisai neutron yang difabrikasi antara lain faktor redaman massa, faktor redaman linier, dan lapisan nilai setengah. Perangkat lunak komputasi NGCal digunakan untuk mensimulasikan sifat dan parameter material perisai. Berdasarkan perhitungan yang dilakukan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa perisai dengan efisiensi tinggi adalah perisai dengan penggunaan rasio sorben yang lebih tinggi yaitu asam borat, sedangkan apabila rasio karet silikon lebih besar dari asam borat maka tingkat efisiensi penyerapan menurun, tetapi fleksibilitas mekanis perisai akan semakin baik. Ketebalan perisai neutron berhubungan langsung dengan nilai MAC dan LAC, dimana semakin tebal perisai maka nilai MAC dan LAC akan semakin tinggi, hal ini menyebabkan efisiensi penyerapan neutron termal oleh perisai neutron akan semakin meningkat apabila asam borat mendominasi pada komposit, namun apabila ketebalan perisai didominasi oleh karet silikon maka efisiensinya akan semakin menurun.

Abstract

Lubuk Basung is one of the distribution areas of pyroclastic material from the Maninjau Caldera eruption that occurred 50,000 years ago and produced two different types of white pumice. The research purpose is to reveal whether the pumice samples taken from Lubuk Basung come from the same eruption or not based on susceptibility of magnetic scores. The susceptibility of magnetic scores can be measured by the Rock Magnetic Method using the Bartington Magnetic Susceptibility Meter Type B. From the magnetic susceptibility values obtained, normality test, homogeneity test, and mean similarity test of two different samples were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics software. In the LBS 23-02 sample, a susceptibility of magnetic range of 41.9 x 10-8 m3/kg to 582.2 x 10-8 m3/kg was obtained, and the LBS 23-03 DB sample obtained a magnetic susceptibility value of 42.9 x 10-8 m3/kg to 535.5 x 10-8 m3/kg. From the normality, homogeneity, and mean similarity test, it is known that the LBS 23-02 and LBS 23-03 DB samples come from a population that is not distributed normally and not homogeneous, but an average comparison is obtained with a score of significance at 0.0426, which can be concluded that the two pumice samples found in Lubuk Basung come from the same eruption source, although each sample has different types and characteristics.
