A novel rigid sound-absorbing material made from used palm oil-based polyurethane foam (PUF) and water hyacinth fiber (WHF) composite was developed in this research. The NCO index was set at 100, while the WHF content was set at 1%wt with mesh sizes ranging from 80 to 20. The mechanical properties, the morphology, the flammability, and the sound absorption coefficient (SAC) of the PUF composite were all investigated. When the WHF size was reduced from 80 to 20, the compression strength of the PUF increased from 0.33 to 0.47 N/mm2. Furthermore, the use of small fiber size resulted in a smaller pore size of the PUF composite and improved the sound absorption and flammability. A feasible sound-absorbing material was a PUF composite with a WHF mesh size of 80 and an SAC value of 0.92. As a result, PUF derived from both water hyacinth and used palm oil could be a promising green alternative material for sound-absorbing applications.

Fish skin is one of the alternative materials to replace the common animal skin that used in the leather tannery. This research was carried out by vegetable tanning to the tilapia fish skin using selected concentration of fresh palm oil and used palm oil. The study aims to find out the physical quality of leather through the using of fresh and used palm oil as fatliquoring agent in the vegetable tannery process. The same concentration of fresh palm oil (5%) and used palm oil (5%) were used in this study. The parameter of tensile strength, elongation, and shrinkage temperature as physical quality was observed in triplicates. Based on the results, tensile strength and leather elongation were significantly increased, while the shrinkage temperature was not significantly affected. In conclusion, the addition of palm oil caused the increasing tilapia fish skin quality that can be used for commercial products, and it became the alternative material that could be use in vegetable tannery processing.

Abstract Tilapia skin has a high value in the form of tanned tilapia skin. One of the factors that play an important role in the tanning process is the using of tanning agents. This research was carried out by vegetable tanning to the tilapia fish skin using selected concentration of fresh palm oil and used palm oil. The study aims to find out the chemical quality of leather through the using of fresh and used palm oil as fat liquoring agent in the vegetable tannery process. The same concentration of fresh palm oil (10%), and used palm oil (10%) were used in this study. The parameter of fat content, and water content as chemical quality was observed in triplicates. Based on the results, the fat content of the leather using fresh palm oil (19.265%) was significantly increased (p<0.05) compared to used palm oil (15.825%), while the water content was also significantly different (p<0.05). In conclusion, the addition of palm oil improved the moisture of tilapia fish skin and become softer that can be used for commercial products, and it became the alternative material that could be use in vegetable tannery processing.

However, flexible pavement has many disadvantages, such as early damage to the road surface after some time has passed by traffic so the road cannot reach the planned age. For this reason, a research was carried out to add hot asphalt mixture which aims to improve the quality of the mixture, the selected material is natural water hyacinth. The method used is trial and error with reference SNI 031737-1989. Variations used were 3%, 5%, and 7% of asphalt weight, the level of asphalt used was 4.48%. Of the 3 variations of the mixture used in Type I Asphalt Concrete Layer, the results obtained that the water hyacinth fiber content that has the best score and meet the specifications of SNI 03-1737- 1989 is the percentage of 7% obtained. from the calculation data using graphs and regression models where Marshall Stability is 889.73 Kg, VFWA (voids filled with asphalt) are equal to 65.97%, VIM (voids in mixtures) are equal to 1.757%, VMA (voids in mineral aggregates ) is equal to 20.30%, density 2.420 gr / cc, Flow 3.37 mm, and Marshall Quotient of 265.80 Kg / mm.Keywords : flexible pavement, water hyacinth fiber, Marshall test.

Asphalt sand layer (Latasir) is a layer of road construction consisting of coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, fillers and hard asphalt, which are mixed, spread, and compacted in hot conditions at certain temperatures. In this study is the use of water hyacinth fiber in a mixture of thin layer sand sheet sand grade grade A. The purpose of this study was to determine the process of making test specimens with ingredients added to water hyacinth fiber and the process of testing specimens with ingredients added to water hyacinth fiber. The test was carried out by adding water hyacinth fibers in the sand sheet class A latasir mixture. And with the addition of water hyacinth fiber variations of 0.6%, 0.9%, 1.2% taken from asphalt content. The final result of this research was Marshall evaluation which was obtained for the effect of the addition of water hyacinth cellulose fiber in this study showed an increase in Marshall stability value of 27.29% with a mixture of 1.2% water hyacinth, plastic fatigue (Flow) decreased by -23 , 89% with a mixture of 0.9% water hyacinth, cavity filled in the mixture (Void in the Mix) increased by 18.65% with a mixture of 1.2% water hyacinth, cavity filled with asphalt (Void Filled With Asphalt) decreased by -8.74% with a mixture of 1.2% water hyacinth, cavity in aggregate (Void In Mineral Aggregate) increased by 7.80% with a mixture of 1.2% water hyacinth, and Marshall Quotient increased by 71.78% with a mixture of 0.9% water hyacinth. These results indicate that water hyacinth fiber can be used as an ingredient to add a mixture of latasir sand sheet class A specifications of clan development. Keywords: sand sheet class A sandflies, Marshall Test Index, water hyacinth fiber, stability, flow, Marshall Quotient.

Abstract Paving block is one of the products of building materials used as the top layer of the street structure, compared to other pavements like cast concrete and asphalt, paving block has been widely chosen especially to the streets used to traversed by low-speeed vehicles. This study aims to know and analyze how strong the influence of additional water hyacinth fiber to the compressive strength of K-200 paving block. Method used in this study is experimental method, with the comparison of mix design reffering to the comparison of concrete quality mixture K-200 (SNI 7394-2008). The result is K-200 paving block decreases its compressive strength after given the mixture of water hyacinth fiber. The precentage of the lowest decrease is in the 0,2 mixture of 55,69% and the highest decrease is in the mixture of 0,8 with the decline presentage of of 82,39%. The score of compressive strength for each test object is: Normal of 209,53 kg/cm², 2% of 92,86 kg/cm², 4% of 84,53 kg/cm², 6% of 58,33 kg/cm², and 8% of 36,90 kg/cm². The relationship of non-linear regression can be seen in R² = 1 on  polinomial orde 4. Paving block with with code objects test “Normal” classified as in the quality of paving block B with compressive strength of 209,53 kg/cm² (17,03 Mpa), while for paving block with extra water hyacinth fiber, it is below the compressive strength standard according to SNI 03-0691-1996. Keywords: Rigid Pavement, Paving Block, Water Hyacinth, Compressive Strength.
