This experimental study aims to determine the most optimal biofiltration media composition for domestic wastewater treatment using 4 upflow biofilter reactors with a combining pumice and coconut shell charcoal as an media filter. ,The combination ratio of media filter is UAF 1 = 1: 0, UAF 2 = 2: 1, UAF 3 = 1: 2, and UAF 4 = 1 : 1 with an overall filter media thickness of 60 cm. Sampling time is done every 2 days for 16 day were taken at the four experimental reactors to be tested for each parameter of pH, COD, nitrate and ammonia. The method of analysis carried out after obtaining data from testing in the laboratory, that is descriptively related to variations in filter media, and the residence time of wastewater in the reactor. The results showed that the reactor with the best processing in normalizing pH was UAF 1. While the best filter media composition in COD and nitrate removal was UAF 3 reactor with 77.78% and 87.17% removal results. Ammonia removal occurred throughout the experimental reactor with a result <-0.05 mg / l was considered quite good and indicated the decomposition process was successful. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menentukan komposisi media biofiltrasi yang paling optimal untuk pengolahan air limbah domestik dengan menggunakan 4 reaktor upflow biofilter dengan mengkombinasikan batu apung dan arang tempurung kelapa sebagai media filter. Rasio dari kombinasi media filter tersebut adalah UAF 1 = 1:0, UAF 2 = 2:1, UAF 3=1:2, dan UAF 4=1:1 dengan ketebalan media filter secara keseluruhan 60 cm. Waktu pengambilan sampel dilakukan setiap 2 hari selama 16 hari. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan pada keempat reaktor percobaan untuk diujikan masing-masing parameter pH, COD, nitrat dan amoniak. Metode analisa yang dilakukan setelah mendapatkan data dari pengujian di laboratorium, yaitu secara deskriptif terkait dengan variasi media filter, dan waktu tinggal air limbah dalam reaktor. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan reaktor yang paling baik pengolahannya dalam menormalkan pH adalah UAF 1. Sementara komposisi media filter yang paling baik dalam penyisihan COD dan nitrat adalah reaktor UAF 3 dengan hasil penyisihan sebesar 77,78% dam 87,17%. Penyisihan amoniak terjadi di seluruh reaktor percobaan dengan hasil <-0,05 mg/l dinilai cukup baik dan mengindikasikan proses penguraian polutan berjalan dengan baik.

The durability performance of PPS filter media is experimentally studied in the paper. It is found that, under 200°C and atmospheric condition, both machine direction strength and transverse direction strength of PPS increase at the beginning and then gradually decrease with the increase of duration time. The transverse direction change for both strength and elongation is higher than the machine direction. The melting point of PPS decreases with the increase of duration time. And the melting point can be taken as one of durability index for the PPS filter media.

The tilted beam illumination method is used to improve the resolution comparing with the axial illumination mode. Using this advantage, a restoration method of several tilted beam images covering the full azimuthal range was proposed by Saxton, and experimentally examined. To make this technique more reliable it seems that some practical problems still remain. In this report the restoration was attempted and the problems were considered. In our study, four problems were pointed out for the experiment of the restoration. (1) Accurate beam tilt adjustment to fit the incident beam to the coma-free axis for the symmetrical beam tilting over the full azimuthal range. (2) Accurate measurements of the optical parameters which are necessary to design the restoration filter. Even if the spherical aberration coefficient Cs is known with accuracy and the axial astigmatism is sufficiently compensated, at least the defocus value must be measured. (3) Accurate alignment of the tilt-azimuth series images.
