<em>Gracilaria</em> sp. is a potential agar-producing seaweed. The agar is conventially extracted at high temperature (80-100°C) for 2-3 hours, requiring a lot of energy.  Ultrasonication-assisted extraction method<br />removes the requirement of high temperatures and shortening the extraction time, thus reduces the energy cost during extraction process.  This study was aimed to determine the effects of temperatures (50 and 60°C) and times (45 and 60 minutes) of ultrasonication on the yield and properties of theproduced agar. Energy efficiency was also calculated based on the ratio of energy required with the amount of agar produced. The ultrasonication significantly increased the yield and energy efficiency. The selected treatment was the extraction with temperature 60°C for 60 minutes producing agar with thee yield of 12.45%, viscosity of 35.8 cP, white degree of 50.96%, moisture content of 12.59%, ash content of 7.07%, sulfate content 3.67% and gel strength 108.03 g/cm2. Agar produced with the selected treatment was grouped as native agar with low gel strength. <br /><br />

The diatomite-cellulose composite (DCC) was used to modified asphalt for pavement in the study, and then the high temperature performance, low temperature performance and temperature susceptibility of asphalt were studied. The results showed that these performances of asphalt were all improved after modified by DCC, and the performance of modified asphalt significantly associated with the ash content of DCC, and H-3 DCC was the best. The performance of modified asphalt by DCC was obviously better than using diatomite and cellulose directly. The improving properties of modified asphalt by DCC were caused by synergistic effect of diatomite and cellulose.
