Structure and Morphology of ZnO Nanoparticles Prepared by Sonochemical Method

Akhiruddin Maddu — 2023-07-10

Ultrasonic wave has been utilized to synthesize the ZnO nanoparticle. ZnO is formed from a mixture of zinc acetate (ZnAc) and Natrium Hydroxide (NaOH) with various concentrations of ZnAc 0.5 M (ZnO 1:1) and 1.5 M (ZnO 3:1) and the concentration of NaOH remained at a concentration of 0.5 M. The Structure and crystal size were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), while its morphology was examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results show that ZnO 1:1 has a higher (stronger) diffraction intensity than the ZnO 3:1. The crystallite size of ZnO 1:1 averaged 30.57 ± 4.31 nm while the ZnO 3:1 had an average crystallite size of 20.25 ± 7.12 nm. From the size of the crystallites ZnO particles that are formed include nanoparticles. ZnO 1:1 SEM image shows the shape of microrods in the 1:1 ZnO sample while in the 3:1 ZnO sample no microrods are formed. Based on the morphology, the 1:1 ZnO sample has an average size of 230 nm and is larger than the 3:1 ZnO sample which has an average size of 50 nm.

Rifaldi Rifaldi — 2023-08-10

This research aims to design a control system for a Peanut Grinder based on a 135 Watt AC Motor, intended to assist small and medium-sized food business entrepreneurs who utilize peanut ingredients. The purpose of this device is to enhance production efficiency in the preparation of peanut-based condiments, replacing the manual and time-consuming process with an automated system capable of sorting peanuts into fine and coarse textures as desired. By utilizing a 135 Watt AC Motor obtained from a washing machine as the main driving component, the design aims to reduce costs by reusing existing components. The control system will encompass mechanisms for grinding peanuts efficiently, ensuring user safety, and regulating motor speed and grinding duration. This research emphasizes environmental friendliness by repurposing unused components. Overall, the proposed Peanut Grinder aims to benefit UMKM entrepreneurs by streamlining production processes and enhancing productivity in the peanut-based condiment preparation.

Farhan Alif — 2023-08-10

Electrical energy plays a much needed role in people's lives and economic development. Alternative energy potential, especially water energy, is a solution to utilize it as an energy source. Pico Hydro Power Plant is a tool or medium that uses water. At this time a hydro power generation system is being developed that produces electrical energy, one of which is using a pico hydro generator where the flow rate of water can be converted into electrical energy. In the water piping system at home it is used as a source of electricity, namely where the water reservoir as a reservoir for clean water with water conditions that are affected by the water flow rate can drive a pico-hydro generator turbine. In this research, the data collection process was obtained with a process of taking every 2 minutes for 40 minutes, it obtained an average water discharge of 8.75 L/s with a cross-sectional area of 0.0531, so the pico hydro generator can produce an average voltage of 8.88 Volts where the output results are step Up for battery charging and the average power is 10.60 watts on the battery using 3 loads and this research can be used for home lighting.

A Comparison of Anfis and Fuzzy Classifiers for Object Tracking Based on RGB Color Using Camera Vision

Iqbal Robiyana — 2023-08-18

Image processing technology has a wide range of applications, such as in the medical, military, surveillance, and robotics industries. Analyzing objects in images is crucial when it comes to image processing. This study focuses on image processing to track objects of red, green, and blue (RGB) colors through the utilization of a camera. There are two research schemes: image processing and data classification. The data classification method used is the fuzzy and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The methods of image subtracting and region properties are commonly utilized for image processing. Based on the classification data results, the fuzzy logic classification demonstrated a higher accuracy rate of 86% when compared to Anfis' 65%. This was observed when both classification models were tested using a random sample. The value of Anfis is small due to the limited size of the training data used. As a result, it is recommended to use a fuzzy classifier for object color tracking for good performance.

Adsorption Kinetic Study of Iron Metal Ions in the Batik Cual Waste onto Freshwater Crab (Parathelphusa convexa) Shell Chitosan

Fadillah Ramadhani — 2023-08-21

Chitosan from freshwater crab (Parathelphusa convexa) shell has been successfully extracted and its kinetic adsorption models for iron (Fe) metal ions in the batik cual waste solution (BCWs) were studied. Freshwater crab chitosan (FwC-Chi) was extracted via demineralization, deproteinization, decolorization, and deacetylation steps. The deacetylation degree value of FwC-Chi was 97.92% determined through FTIR spectra using the baseline method. In this study, iron metal ions distributed in the BCWs homogeneously with the concentration of iron (Fe) was 0.43 mg/L determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The performance of FwC-Chi adsorption on iron in the BCWs with the ratio of 1:100 (w/v) for various contact times of 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, and 240 minutes respectively while stirring homogeneously at room temperature. The result showed that the adsorption kinetic models for iron metal ion in the BCWs follows Behnajady-Modirshahla-Ghanbery (BMG) and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Based on this model we found that the decrease of iron concentration is indicated by the decolorization of the waste color. It’s clear that there is a relationship between the waste color with the concentration of iron metal in the BCWs. The coefficient of decolorization decay, rate of decolorization and adsorption rate coefficient was 1,366 g^-1, 16,053 g min^-1, and 0,043 g mg^-1 min^-1 respectively achieved based on this model.
