Abstract

Zn/Al-ZnO composites made from Zn/Al-Layered Double Hydroxide base material and ZnO as a precursor were successfully made in this study. Characterization analysis using SEM-EDS, XRD, and FTIR. The SEM analysis results show the Zn/Al-LDH has a smooth surface, overlapping, and is prone to aggregation, resulting in non-uniform particle size. However, it forms a uniform grain shape. Zn/Al-ZnO have rough surfaces with uniform particle shape and size, and the presence of pores on the particle surface. EDS analysis shows the Zn element which is more abundant in Zn/Al-ZnO. XRD analysis of Zn/Al-LDH showed the hydrotalcite. XRD analysis on ZnO showed the hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure. Zn/Al-ZnO composites at an angle of 2θ show the same peak of the base material and the precursor. FTIR analysis of the composite revealed the presence of O-H groups at wave numbers 3445 cm−1, 1633 cm−1, and 1504 cm−1, indicating the presence of nitrate. Additionally, vibrations at wave numbers 1382 cm−1 corresponded to antisymmetric (v3) stretching of nitrate, while wave numbers 418 cm−1 and 606 cm−1 indicated metal-oxygen stretching vibrations. Of all the factors used in the desulfurization of 4-methyldibenzothiophene, Zn/Al-ZnO composites had the highest %conversion rate of both the base material and the precursor. The %conversion values of Zn/Al-ZnO at the time of contact were 99.40%, catalyst dosage 99.38%, solvent 99.10%, and temperature 99.56%, respectively. The catalyst is heterogeneous and reusable for the desulfurization of 4-methyldibenzothiophene.

Abstract

Activated carbon or activated charcoal is one of the best materials that can be used as a constituent of CDI electrodes, not only because of its various advantageous properties but also because it can be sourced abundantly from plant waste. This research aims to determine the effect of the thickness of the candlenut shell activated charcoal electrode and the particle size of the activated carbon used on the capacitive deionization (CDI) performance in seawater desalination. Candlenut shell-based activated charcoal is obtained in three stages, namely preparation, carbonization, and activation. The carbonization stage was done by using a pyrolysis reactor at a temperature of 400°C for 8 hours. The activation was done with the activator of H3PO4 67%. The variation of thickness was 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm while the variation of particle size was 60 mesh, 80 mesh, 100 mesh, and 200 mesh. The results showed that the higher capacitance was obtained with the thinner electrodes, where the best value was the thinnest electrode, 6 mm, which produced the highest capacitance, 122.96 nF. For the desalination of seawater, it is shown that the finest particle/smallest particle size will result in the best desalination performance, where 200 mesh particle size will result in the decrease of salinity from 34% to 4%. That is 88.23% decrease in salinity. Therefore, the using of candlenut shell-based activated carbon as the electrode in CDI is proven to be able to obtain good performance in seawater desalination.

Abstract

LaFeO3 has been prepared using the solid-state reaction method with High Energy Milling (HEM). The preparation of LaFeO3 was carried out using stoichiometric calculations. Based on the XRD measurement results, single-phase LaFeO3 with an orthorhombic crystal structure was obtained. From the SEM results, the morphology of LaFeO3 is uniform, and the EDS results show the weight percentage of La, Fe, and O elements are 49.74, 21.08, and 29.18 wt%, respectively. VSM LaFeO3 results show magnetic saturation, remanence, and coercivity are 0.24 emu/g, 0.02 emu/g, and 853.38 Oe, respectively, and the absorption of LaFeO3 is -7.40 dB at a frequency of 6.02 GHz with a LaFeO3 sample thickness of 1.5mm.

Abstract

This study investigates the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) topic to address the complexities of decision processes involving ambiguous information. We introduce the Triangular Fuzzy Geometric Bonferroni Mean (TFGBM) operator, a novel aggregation technique inspired by the Geometric Bonferroni Mean (GBM) concept. This operator is intended to aggregate triangular fuzzy numbers within MCDM problems effectively. We thoroughly investigate the properties of TFGBM and its distinct forms to ensure its practical utility. We introduce the Triangular Fuzzy Geometric Weighted Bonferroni Mean (TFGWBM) operator to accommodate situations where input factors have variable degrees of significance. Based on this foundation, we present a comprehensive framework for decision-making involving multiple attributes in ambiguous triangular fuzzy environments. A relevant case study regarding selecting an optimal location for a Halal center demonstrates the efficacy and applicability of our methodology. We emphasize the tangibility and efficiency of the suggested methodology in improving decision-making processes by emphasizing this real-world application.

Abstract

Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) are photovoltaic devices that contain a dye that acts as a solar light acceptor. The use of dyesensitized solar cells to solve increasing energy demand and environmental problems still results in low efficiency values. In this study, optimization of DSSC components was carried out to increase DSSC efficiency by varying the thickness of the titanium dioxide (TiO2) semiconductor photoanode layer, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) trap electrolyte membrane, and polyvinylidene fluoride nanofiber (PVDF NF) to obtain the optimum thickness. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) results of membrane thickness variation and titanium dioxide (TiO2) semiconductor photoanode coating showed the formation of nanofiber fibers composed of three-dimensional, porous, and diameter networks connected to the PVDF NF membrane. The increase in density and decrease in pore size, along with an increase in thickness and cracking as the TiO2 photoanode semiconductor layer increases, affect the electron transport rate of the DSSC. The higher particle density level will inhibit the electron transport rate, so it can reduce the efficiency of DSSC. The optimum thickness of the TiO2 semiconductor layer and PVDF NF electrolyte membrane of 0.20 mm and 0.35 mm can produce values, voltage, fill factor current density, and electrical efficiency of 500 mV, 2.7 x 10−3 mA.cm−2, 1.80%, and 2.40%, respectively.

Abstract

The tropical area of the Indonesian Maritime Continent (IMC) is frequently regulated by El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), resulting in various water mass stratification in every climate event, such as El Niño and La Niña occurrences. As a consequence, changes in the typical Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) are linked to ENSO circumstances that affect the Indian Ocean. This study used Argo float data to evaluate the change in water mass stratification and vertical density profiles along the main pathway of ITF at each event. However, due to a scarcity of observation data, the comparison study of normal to ENSO occurrences has been limited in the ITF area. In typical circumstances throughout the year, the entrance channel (the western Pacific Ocean, the northern waters of Molucca Island, and the Halmahera Sea) had a higher saline value and cooler water masses than other ITF channels, with a range of roughly 33.5 - 35.5 PSU/13 - 22 ◦C, particularly during the Northwest (NW) Monsoon (December to February or DJF). Unlike the inlet, the Temperature-Salinity (T-S) diagram showed a declining value in both parameters (Celebes Sea, Makassar Strait, and Molucca Sea). Still, the outflow pathway in the Southeastern Tropical Indian Ocean (SETIO) showed a rising T-S diagram. During La Niña events, IMC water masses are often portrayed as fresher and warmer, while reverse circumstances are depicted in El Niño events with exclusion at SETIO station, indicating saltier and colder water masses than normal conditions. An extreme alteration with a large T-S range is mostly depicted in Makassar Strait from Southeast (SE) monsoon (September to November or SON) to NW monsoon, followed by the Banda Sea and then the Molucca Sea.

Abstract

This study explores the effects of incorporating palm oil fuel ash (POFA) and fly ash (FA) as partial cement substitutes on the mechanical properties and characteristics of high-quality mortar, specifically Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC). ECC mortar was fabricated by milling POFA waste and FA through a top-down method utilizing a ball mill. The resulting material was subjected to tests for slump flow, water absorption, compressive strength, and characterized through XRF, FTIR, SEM/EDX, and XRD analyses. FTIR analysis verified the existence of Si-O and Al-O groups within the composite made of POFA-FA ECC. XRF analysis of FA and POFA showed cementitious properties, with SiO2+Al2O3+Fe2O3 exceeding 50% and CaO surpassing 10%. SEM and XRD results indicated minimal cavity formation, suggesting a high compressive strength in the mortar. Particle size distribution analysis revealed prevalent particles in the 1.5×10−1 to 2.0×10−1 μm range. The compressive strength test after 28 days, incorporating 15% FA and 10% POFA, yielded the highest strength at 59.30 MPa. The water absorption values ranged from 1.25% to 2.67%, indicating that POFA-FA assists in the cement hydration process and also serves as a filler. As a result, the material’s density is very high, leading to fewer voids formed, thus reducing the trapped water, which significantly affects the mortar’s strength.

Abstract

Montelukast tablets are sold under the brand name Singulair and are used to control and prevent asthma symptoms. In this study, 10 mg film-coated montelukast tablets were developed as a generic drug in order to evaluate the pharmaceutical equivalent of the innovator’s products. The primary formulation ingredients used in all developed formulations (F1-F5) were the same as those described in the Singulair tablet package insert, except for formulations F3, F4, and F5, to which solubilizing enhancers were added to increase montelukast solubility. The core tablets were produced using the wet granulation method before being coated with HPMC polymer. FT-IR and DSC were used to determine drug and excipient compatibility. The micromeritic properties of the granules were assessed. The physicochemical properties of generated montelukast tablets and Singulair tablets were also investigated. The dissolution profiles of the tested drug and the innovator were assessed in a variety of pH mediums (pH 1.2, 4.5, 6.8, and water). The similarity (f2) and difference (f1) factors were computed. The accelerated and long-term stability of the tested drug in hot and humid climate zones was evaluated. The analytical method validation used in this study was ICH-acceptable for 8 parameters including specificity, range, linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection, limit of quantitation, and robustness. F1-F5 granules had similar properties, such as a pale-yellow color and excellent flow properties. There were no chemical interactions between montelukast and the excipients according to FT-IR and DSC analyses. The physical properties of all developed montelukast film-coated tablets were similar (average weight 212-218 mg; thickness 3.02-3.07 mm; assay 101-102% LA; disintegration time 3-4 min), except that the disintegration time of F3 was 8.10 min and that of F5 was 5.90 min, which was caused by the addition of poloxamer 188 to the formulation. In all mediums, only the F1 formula produced acceptable comparison dissolution profiles to Singulair. After 6 months of storage under accelerated and long-term conditions, the results showed the F1 formulation remained physically and chemically stable.

Abstract

This research explores the potential of locally sourced natural zeolite from the Tanggamus District, Indonesia, for the removal of ammonium from shrimp pond wastewater. The study utilizes a comprehensive approach involving desilication modification, batch adsorption experiments, and field-scale application. The zeolite, predominantly composed of clinoptilolite, undergoes calcination at varying temperatures, with 200°C proving to be optimal for enhancing ammonium adsorption capacity. The study also highlights the efficient use of zeolite at a lower dosage of 5 g/L, yielding high removal efficiency. The real-world effectiveness of this method was confirmed by field experiments, where the application of calcined zeolite resulted in lower ammonium concentrations in shrimp ponds. The results demonstrate that the application method, specifically direct spreading in the ponds, affects adsorption performance. These findings underscore the potential of using Tanggamus Natural Zeolite as a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for ammonium control in shrimp pond wastewater. This work paves the way for future research focusing on the long-term application effects and zeolite regeneration methods to further improve the economic and environmental efficiency of this approach.

Abstract

In this work, a photonic crystal fiber based on a plasmonic sensor for the early detection of tuberculosis has been designed with finite element analysis. The component is constructed with a substrate layer made of fused silica material, which is then coated with a thin film of TiO2 layer as an adhesive layer to strongly attach the Au layer with the silica fiber surface. The TiO2 layer has an optimal thickness of 45 nm, while the Au layer has a thickness of 50 nm. The sensor design has a refractive index (RI) detection range from 1.27 RIU to 1.37 RIU, it also shows a maximum wavelength sensitivity (WS), maximum amplitude sensitivity (AS), sensor resolution (SR), and sensor accuracy (SA) of 20,000 nm/RIU (x-polarized) and 17.000 nm/RIU( y-polarized), -211.38 1/RIU (x-polarized) and -211.211 1/RIU (y-polarized), 9.17 x 10−5 RIU (x-polarized) and 1 x 10−4 RIU (y-polarized), and 0.025/nm respectively. Tuberculosis exhibits a normal and infected RI range of 1.343 RIU to 1.351 RIU. Therefore, the proposed sensor design is capable of detecting four types of TB infections with high sensitivity.
