Abstract

The volume of municipal waste has become a national problem so far, so a solution is needed to reduce the waste problem. One solution to reduce the volume of municipal waste is to burn waste. However, the combustion needs to be designed to take advantage of the heat generated by combustion. In this study, the process of burning waste with various types of waste materials was carried out. The heat of burning waste is used to evaporate 1 liter of seawater and the seawater vapor is cooled to produce distilled water. The volume of distilled water and the precipitated salt were weighed. The results of the research from the variation of 6 types of waste materials obtained that the type of clothing waste material gave the fastest time, which was 43.75 minutes, the amount of distilled water was 931 ml, and salt deposited as much as 30 grams. The test results on distilled water showed that almost all parameters met the requirements of drinking water and obtained a salt content of 84%. Further processing by adjusting the hardness is needed to process distilled water into clean water and the addition of iodine can be considered to produce iodized salt.

Abstract

Sonochemistry has many applications in biomedical engineering owing to its ability to break chemical bonds. It can also be used to facilitate the preparation of aqueous quantum dots (QDs) dispersions during microemulsion formati on. Cavitation, bubble growth and collapse during sonication facilitate the formation of microemulsions between a solvent and water. Sonication was employed in this study to prepare aqueous copper indium sulfide colloidal zinc sulfide (CuInS2/ZnS) QD dispersions using different solvent systems. The resultant QDs were characterized by UV-vis absorption, photoluminescence, and dynamic light scattering. Hexane was determined to be the best solvent for the preparation of QD dispersions with the resultant QDs (30 nm in diameter) retaining their chemical integrity and >30% of their quantum yield. CuInS2/ZnS QD dispersions in water can be directly prepared without any non-polar solvent and it has shown high quantum yield. Further, it was also shown that less-toxic, which is efficient in labeling tumor cells derived from human liver cancer (HepG2). It’s evident that, sonication was found to be an efficient alternative approach for preparing aqueous QD dispersions without the need for surface modification, or the use of non-polar solvents during microemulsion formation.
