Cadmium in Water Samples determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry after Solid Phase Extraction using DOWEX 50WX2 resin

The Pre-concentration of Cd(II) in water samples was carried out by using column solid phase extraction DOWEX 50WX2 prior to flame atomic absorption spectrometry analyzed. The analytical parameters consist of pH, flow rate, volume of eluent and volume of sample were determined.The optimum conditions were obtained pH was 5, sample flow rate was 1 mL min−1, volume of eluent nitric acid 1N was 10 mL and sample volume was 50 mL. The optimum conditions obtained were used to determine the detection limit and the accuracy of the method using tap water samples. Determination of detection limit used tap water which contain Cd 0.001 mg L-1 and the accuracy (recovery,%R) with concentration of Cd 0.01 mg L-1. The detection limit was found 0.2697±0.0899 µg L− 1 (n=7) and accuracy (n=7) was 93±6%. The result showed the accuracy still meets the acceptance criteria for accuracy (70%-125%) and the RSD 6% is smaller than the Horwitz value of 20.8%. Based on the accuracy (R%) and % RSD values obtained, it can be concluded that this method provides effective results for pre-concentration to increase the detection limit of Cd (II)in clean water using SSA-flame.

Utilization of Bottom Ash Coal and Agarwood in Waste Water Treatment in Palembang Jumputan Fabric

Waste containing dyes causes visual pollution and increase the risk of environmental and health issue. The aim of this study was to determine the best operating conditions of jumputan liquid waste treatment using bottom ash batubara and agar wood with variations in feed flow rate (1, 2, and 3 l/min), filtration time (30, 60, 90, and 120 mins), and treatment. The results are compared with the parameters of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and pH of clean water quality standards for jumputan industry businesses and/or activities regulated in the Governor’s of Sumatera Selatan Regulation Number 16 year 2005. The initials analysis of jumputan liquid waste before processing showed that jumputan liquid waste did not meet these quality standards, except pH and turbidity levels. In this study, jumputan liquid waste was pretreated using coal bottom ash and activated carbon, then filtered. Biodegradation of jumputan liquid waste by conventional method. The best of BOD, COD, TSS, pH, and the percentage of color rejection in the study were obtained in the treatment of jumputan liquid waste using bottom ash batubara and activated carbon at 120 minutes filtration time and a 1 l/minute feed flow rate namely BOD 5.98 mg/l, COD 15 mg/l, TSS 22.3 mg/l, pH 7.32, color 5 Pt-Co, and 0 NTU turbidity. The filtration with bottom ash coal and agar wood can removed the coloring from dyes.

Synthesis and Characterization of Amorphous TiO2 Anode Prepared by Anodizing Method for Na-ion Batteries

Sodium ion battery (SIB) has engage sustainable alternative on replacing lithium ion batteries. The lower potential and larger ionic value has demanded on seeking a potential anode materials. Amorphous TiO2 prepared by electrochemical anodisation technique has provide a suitablility as anode SIB materials, which approved by conducting XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDX measurements. Electrochemical performance was tested with variations in the concentration of NaOCl4 electrolyte in propylene carbonate (PC) solvent. Diffractogram of TiO2 showed the only peaks of Ti was observed at 2θ = 40.34. The TiO2 IR spectrogram shows that the absorption band at 507 cm-1 is the peak of the vibration characteristics of the Ti-O bond and the peak of 975 cm-1 corresponds to Ti-O-Ti bond. SEM-EDX image analysis showed the morphology of TiO2 was smooth without pore with a ratio of Ti: O elemental composition of 1: 2. Voltammogram showed the anodes in 0.5 M NaOCl4 electrolyte in PC solvent has a good stability potential windows with the high current density 1.2 mA and the capacity of 0.037 F/g

Corrosion Analysis On Internal Plastic Coating Drill Pipe 5 Inch 19.50 PPF Grade G-105

In the oil, gas and geothermal drilling industry, the use of a drill pipe is vital for its use as an addition to the length of the drilling depth. Another function of the drill pipe is to channel high pressure drilling mud (drilling fluid / fluid) to the drill bit. During the drill pipe operation, several problems were encountered, such as broken, bent, and leaking or wash-out drill pipes. This is very detrimental to the company because the time to replace a new drill pipe will take a long time, and will disrupt the drilling program which will result in high drilling operational costs. This study analyzes the corrosion of the drill pipe which can cause damage to the drill pipe. The analysis on the drill pipe includes analysis of thickness, corrosion rate, remaining life, internal plastic coating damage, and SEM. The results show that the storage and use of drill pipes greatly affect the conductivity of the drill pipe.

Characterization of Electrode with Cu2O-ZnO/C and Pt-Ru/C Catalyst for Electrochemical Reduction CO2 to CH3OH

Electrode characterization has been carried out with Cu2O-ZnO/C and Pt-Ru/C catalysts to convert carbon dioxide to methanol. Characterization are carried out with XRD analysis, Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The electrodes are made by distributing Cu2O-ZnO/C and/or Pt-Ru/C catalyst by spraying method. The results of XRD analysis showed that the characteristic peak of platinum was 2θ = 39.7⁰ - 40.74⁰ with an intensity of 970 cps and 1384 cps and the diffraction peak of Ru oxide was found at 47.02⁰ with an intensity of 923 cps. The peak of Cu2O characteristics appeared at 36.12⁰ with an intensity of 88 cps and the peak for ZnO characteristics at 68.2⁰ with an intensity of 13 cps. The test results with the cyclic voltammetry method showed that the electrode with a Cu2O-ZnO/C catalyst obtained the highest ECSA value which was 26.044 cm2/g, with an electrical conductivity value of 3.4 x 10-3 S/cm and a total real resistance of 5.9425 Ω
