In this paper, the regioselective reactions of kaolinite and methoxy-modified kaolinite (MeO-Kaol), methanol-expanded kaolinite, with octadecyltrimethylammonium salts are compared. This study mainly concerns the reactions of kaolinite or MeO-Kaol with octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (C18TAC) in methanol and the subsequent exhaustive washing of the resultant products with ethanol. X-ray diffraction patterns of the products reveal no intercalation of C18TAC between pristine kaolinite layers. Additionally, intercalation and subsequent deintercalation of C18TAC proceed in the product using MeO-Kaol. In the Fourier-transform infrared spectra, the intensities of CH2 stretching bands of the product prepared using MeO-Kaol drastically increase compared to those using kaolinite. In addition, CH2 stretching bands of the product using kaolinite are hardly observed without enlarging the spectrum. The product using MeO-Kaol also displays mass loss in the range of 200–300 °C in the thermogravimetric curve and a nitrogen content with 0.15 mass% estimated using the CHN analysis. These results therefore demonstrate an increase in the available reactive edges in the layered crystal material following an expansion of the stacked layers.

To date, there have been only a few studies focusing on the assignment of X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns in graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C3N4) and contradictory determination for a broad peak around 12°–14° has been perplexing.

Pada bidang komunikasi bahwa sinyal suara asli tanpa derau (noise) dikatakan penting dikarenakan memberikan informasi dengan jelas, jika sinyal suara asli telah tercampur derau (noise) maka sinyal suara tersebut menjadi lemah dan akhirnya hilang/tidak berguna. Sehingga untuk mengatasi sinyal suara yang telah berderau (noise) tersebut perlu dilakukan penapisan (filtering) terhadap sinyal suara asli agar sinyal suara asli dapat diterima dengan baik oleh di pendengar/penerima informasi. Maka dari itu penelitian ini dilakukan untuk penapisan (filtering) terhadap sinyal suara asli gitar yang telah tercampur derau (noise) menggunakan metode band pass filter. Dimana metode band pass filter berfungsi untuk meloloskan sinyal terhadap range frekuensi diatas frekuensi batas bawah (fL) dan dibawah frekuensi batas atas (fH). Pada penelitian tersebut metode band pass filtering diterapkan pada file suara gitar berextensi .wav, kemudian hasil filtering dilakukan pembangkitan pada suara asli gitar. Dan dalam proses enkripsi, sinyal informasi yang berupa sinyal analog (domain waktu) dikonversikan kedalam domain frekuensi menggunakan algoritma Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Dan penapisan (filter) dilakukan dengan filter band pass. Hasil penapisan diperoleh suatu ‘Grafik’ maupun ‘Suara’ yang mendekati Grafik dan Suara asli. Namun demikian perbandingan suara asli dan hasil filtering (penapisan).

Abstract Chitin is one of the most abundant biopolymers, but due to its high crystallinity, it is completely insoluble in most organic and inorganic solvents. Chitin is soluble only in solvents that can destroy intersheet and intrasheet H-bonds, and many of these solvents are toxic, corrosive, nondegradable, or mutagenic. Because of these drawbacks, there is a search for more environmentally friendly solvents for chitin. It has been shown that ionic liquids (ILs) can dissolve chitin at elevated temperatures (80°–110°C) or with application of microwave irradiation. The highest solubility of chitin in an IL was about 20% (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate), whereas chitin was shown to be insoluble in 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium formate. Dissolved chitin can be regenerated by mixing with water or methanol, where the polymer precipitates from the solution. X-ray diffraction patterns of native polymer and precipitates have been compared and only small changes in crystallinity have been observed. In addition, Fourier transform infrared spectra remained similar for both forms of chitin, native and regenerated. Presented data hold great promise for the improvement of the chemistry of chitin and open new routes for chemical and enzymatic modifications of this polymer.

This contribution reports first time synthesis of Cr2O3 nanostructures from chromium (III) chloride hexahydrate precursor using Vernonia amygdalina leaves extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used to study the structural and morphological properties of the as-synthesized Cr2O3 nanostructures. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns spectral analysis showed that hexagonal Cr2O3 nanostructures with an average crystallite size of 23.4 nm were synthesized with the minor appearance of CrO2. SEM images showed that the synthesized nanomaterials are granules. Fourier-transform infrared spectra represent a sharp absorption band at 552 cm-1, which indicates Cr-O-Cr vibrational and stretching modes.
