Abstract

Implanted material is one of the solutions to overcome damage or the function of human organs. The many needs about implants or biomaterials make researchers continue to conduct various studies. One criterion as an implant material is that having good corrosion resistance so it does not have rejection from the body. This research aims to determine the corrosion behavior of Zr-Ti-Cu implant material in Lactated Ringer's solution. The Zr-Ti-Cu implant material uses a variation of 1% and 3% Cu content synthesized by the melting process using a Single Arc Melting Furnace with an atmospheric environment of argon. The results were characterized using an optical microscope and Vickers test equipment. Corrosion behavior of the Zr-Ti-Cu implant using a potentiostat with the Tafel polarization method in a Ringer's Lactated solution and Ringer’s Lactate solution that added with ulcer potion 10 mL. From the results of characterization with optical microscopy and XRD showed phases α-Zr and α-Ti, and intermetallic compounds Zr2Cu and Ti2Cu. Increasing Cu content can increase the hardness value so it has a hardness value between 528-619 HV. The addition of ulcer potion increases the corrosivity level of Ringer’s lactate solution. Corrosion resistance increased from 2,140 mpy to 1,571 mpy in Ringer's Lactate solution and from 2,060 mpy to 1,492 mpy in Ringer's Lactate solution with ulcer potion due to the addition of Cu in the alloy.

Abstract

Market and household waste are significant contributors to urban pollution, leading to health issues and a decline in city aesthetics. One of the most commonly found market wastes is jackfruit dami waste. This study aims to evaluate the effect of bioactivator addition on the carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio and to determine the optimal composting duration for achieving a favorable C/N value. The bioactivator (MOL) was prepared using 300 g of coconut fiber and 5 L of coconut water, fermented for two weeks with stirring every three days to release gas. Molasses was prepared by dissolving 1 kg of granulated sugar in 1000 mL of distilled water (1:1 ratio). The jackfruit dami waste was shredded, weighed, and mixed with distilled water, molasses, and MOL at varying concentrations (5%, 11%, and 17% v/w). The composting process was carried out in sealed plastic containers for 9 to 24 days, with stirring every three days. The composted materials were then analyzed for organic carbon and nitrogen content to determine the C/N ratio. The results showed that the highest C/N ratio of 7.18% was obtained on day 24 with a 11% MOL concentration. However, based on the standards set by the Ministry of Agriculture for liquid organic fertilizers, the C/N ratio obtained in this study did not meet the required specifications.

Abstract

Coconut shell charcoal has been widely produced as a raw material for biobriquette production. This cause effect on an increase of coconut shell price as a raw material for charcoal production. Wood waste is one of the easier and cheaper biomass to be obtained than coconut shell. However, the quality of charcoal produced from wood waste need to be compared to be used as a substitute of coconut shell. This study aims to discover the effect of pyrolysis as a carbonisation process on coconut shell, wood waste, and a mixture of both biomass on the quality of charcoal produced including yield, proximate analysis, lignocellulose analysis, and calorific value. A completely randomized design was used in this study by taking into account two influencing factors, including the type of sample (biomass sample and charcoal sample) and the type of biomass (coconut shell, wood waste, and a mixture of both). Pyrolysis was carried out at 550℃ for 120 minutes. Pyrolysis of biomass and different types of biomass have giving effects on the characteristics of the biomass and charcoal produced. The results of the analysis showed that the type of coconut shell biomass and a mixture of the two biomasses produced charcoal that qualified on standards. The results of the analysis concluded that charcoal made from a mixture of coconut shell and wood waste could be a solution to substitute charcoal made from coconut shell only.

Abstract

This study focuses on improving the efficiency of seaweed production at PT. IHFIM through the development of a discrete event simulation model. The production system includes several main stages such as Pre-Treatment, Initial Rinse, Quality Check, Thermal Drying, Disinfection, and Final Blending. Field observation and actual production data were used to build the simulation model using ProModel software. Model verification was done through running simulations, and validation was conducted statistically using a t-test, confirming that the simulation outputs were consistent with actual conditions. The analysis identified two bottlenecks in the system: Pre-Treatment with 12.88% blocked time and Initial Rinse with 11.60% blocked time. To address these issues, two improvement scenarios were tested. Scenario 1 added an extra tank to the Pre-Treatment stage, which successfully reduced the blockage to 0%. Scenario 2 introduced additional buffer capacity at the Initial Rinse and Quality Check stages, resulting in a 4% reduction in blockage. The results show that increasing capacity at key points can improve material flow and reduce delays. This study concludes that discrete simulation is an effective method for identifying bottlenecks and evaluating operational improvements in agro-industrial production systems

Abstract

Iron sand is a deposit along the coast formed from the weathering of rocks containing iron minerals, such as in Galesong Beach, Takalar, South Sulawesi. Its utilization is still minimal due to the lack of knowledge of its content and properties, so it is necessary to increase the content to obtain optimal recovery before being processed into useful products. This study aims to analyze the geochemistry of iron sand with XRF and XRD, determine the optimal recovery, and the best drum rotation speed on a magnetic separator for its processing. The method of increasing the content of iron sand uses magnetic concentration. The results of the XRD analysis show that the iron sand sample is composed of minerals such as Orthoclase (KALSi3O8), Magnetite (Fe3O4), Quartz (SiO2), Iron ore (Fe2O3), Kaolinite (Al2O9Si2). The results of the XRF analysis have Fe2O3 = 23.40%, SiO2 = 38.38%, Al2O3 = 25.92%, CaO = 7.16 %, TiO2 = 2.60 %, and K2O, MnO, V2O5, Cr2O3, ZrO, SrO, ZnO, P2O5 each below 1%. The iron ore (Fe2O3) content of the concentrate product at each drum rotation speed is 45.11 %, 43.06 % and 64.16 % with recovery values of 75.19 %, 69.18 % and 97.16 %. The percentage of Fe2O3 content and the most optimal recovery rate are obtained at a rotation speed of 600 rpm

Abstract

The UMKM Keripik Umi is a micro-scale enterprise that produces banana chips but currently lacks a structured and systematic production planning approach. Production decisions are still based on historical demand trends, leading to inefficiencies, especially when customer demand fluctuates. This study aims to optimize production quantities, minimize total production costs, and maximize sales revenue for three product variants: original, balado (spicy), and chocolate-flavored banana chips. To achieve these objectives, the Goal Programming method is utilized due to its effectiveness in solving multi-objective optimization problems, especially when there are conflicting goals. The results of the optimization show that the ideal production quantities are 4,191 packs for the original flavor, 8,187 packs for the balado flavor, and 5,434 packs for the chocolate flavor. With this production allocation, the minimum total production cost is achieved at IDR 123,479,100, while the maximum projected annual sales revenue reaches IDR 54,640,900. These findings demonstrate that the Goal Programming method can be a valuable decision-support tool for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in managing limited resources while pursuing multiple business objectives. By implementing structured production planning using this method, MSMEs like Keripik Umi can significantly improve their operational efficiency, adapt more effectively to market dynamics, and enhance profitability in a competitive business environment

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the thermal performance of the starboard main engine on a tugboat, specifically a Mitsubishi type S6R2-T2MTK3L, by focusing on the phenomenon of exhaust gas temperature increase. Measurements were conducted over six days under two operational conditions: towing an empty barge and towing a fully loaded barge. The results indicate that the exhaust gas temperature was significantly high in both conditions, with a temperature difference of 40 °C at low engine speed and up to 100 °C at high speed. These findings suggest incomplete combustion, indicating the need for further improvement in the engine's combustion process. Meanwhile, fuel temperature remained relatively stable in both conditions, with a maximum difference of only 3 °C at medium and high engine speeds, suggesting that the fuel delivery system is operating safely. The analysis of specific fuel consumption (SFC) revealed inconsistent trends in relation to engine speed. The highest SFC was recorded at 600 rpm while towing a fully loaded barge, at 0.01855 l/kWh. The highest engine torque was 7523.885 Nm at medium speed, while the lowest torque was 7165.605 Nm at high speed. This study concludes that high exhaust gas temperatures serve as a primary indicator of combustion inefficiency in the starboard main engine, requiring further evaluation to maintain operational efficiency and safety of the tugboat.
