Abstract

In the past few decades, the unique properties of acetylide and thiourea moieties individually have attracted great attention from researchers in various fields to be developed in numerous applications in advanced materials technology, especially as an active layer in gas sensing devices. The molecular systems of acetylide and thiourea provide a wide range of electronic properties as they possess rigid π-systems in their designated structures. In this study, a derivative of acetylide-thiourea featuring N-(4[4-aminophenyl] ethynyl benzonitrile)-N’-(4-ethyl benzoyl) thiourea (TCN) has been synthesised with the general formula of ArC(O)NHC(S)NHC≡C)Ar adopted the system of D-π-A for the significant development of conductive materials. The derivative consists of donating substituent characterised by typical spectroscopic techniques, such as infrared spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, and 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. In turn, TCN was deposited onto interdigitated electrode (IDE) for the measurement of thin-film resistance. The resistance values of synthesised compound is caused the effect of donating substituent attached to the acetylide-thiourea, which indeed altered the conductivity performances of fabricated IDE substrate. In fact, the theoretical calculation also was carried out using Gaussian 09 to evaluate the relationship between experimental and theoretical analyses of acetylide-thiourea semiconductor properties in term of energy band gap and the sensing response to the selected analyte.

Abstract

This paper reports the synthetic, characterization and theoretical evaluation of new class of hybrid Heck-immine system involving mixed moieties of vinylene (C=C) and azomethines (CH=N) which has been successfully integrated into an addition of organic semiconducting materials. The assessment of 4-[(hexyloxyphenyl)methylene]amino)-4’-chloro-stilbene (HEXCS) based on Donor (D)-π-Acceptor (A) was evaluated as active semiconductor material candidates via several spectroscopic and analytical techniques. In turn, the investigation of its potential as dopant system in conductive film was successfully deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated substrate via spin coating method. The relationship between electronic and optical properties, chemical modelling at molecular interactions and electrical performances of the designated system were evaluated. In addition, the quantum mechanical calculation proved that the value of energy separation of HEXCS between HOMO and LUMO exhibits 3.09 eV which was in good agreement with the experimental result of optical band gap 3.10 eV. The findings from the thermal and conductivity analysis revealed that the developed film HEXCS exhibited good stability at high temperature and electrical performance with an increasing conductivity up to 0.1531 Scm-1 under maximum light intensity of 100 Wm-2. Therefore, this proposed type of molecular framework has given an ideal indication to act as semiconductor material candidates potentially use in any designated electronic application.

Abstract

The vast quantity of waste generated from industries is one of the serious outcomes of unplanned development, resulting into quantum of hazardous organic and inorganic waste generating daily. Proper waste management is a challenging issue that must be addressed adequately. This is, therefore, carried out with a view of assessing the energy and combustion quality of tannery solid waste with a view of converting them into briquettes for cooking, heating and small home industries and reducing the menace caused by tannery waste disposal. The results of the experiments showed that the combustion rate ranged between 0.171 and 0.217 g/min, the boiling time ranged between 27.78 to 34.11 minutes, the ignition time was found between 14.2 to 17.4 minutes. The durability test and humidity resistance test showed that the briquettes have durability ranged between 92.12 and 95.04 while the humidity resistance was between 95.34 and 97.95. The carbon content ranged between 40.79 and 45.15%. Other results showed that the fixed carbon ranged between 89.93 and 95.46%, volatile matter 1.61 to 4.56% and the calorific values were found between 18.03 and 21.86 MJ/kg.

Abstract

Adsorption of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution using activated carbon prepared from Limonia acidissima fruit shell (LAFS-AC) was conducted in batch mode experiments at pH 5 (±0.15), 100 rpm and 1 atm. The effects of contact time, initial Cu(II) ions concentration, KOH concentration, and adsorption temperature on Cu(II) ions adsorption capacity were investigated. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy analyses were performed to investigate the active site and surface morphology of the LAFS-AC, respectively. The Cu(II) ions adsorption was fitted very well (R2 = 0.94 on average) to the pseudo second-order adsorption kinetic with the adsorption capacity and rate being 25.58 mg/g and 0.07 g/mg.min, respectively at 27 oC by the LAFS AC activated using 0.5 M KOH. It was 26.88 mg/g and 0.15 g/mg.min, respectively at 60 oC. The Cu(II) ions adsorption followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model (LAIM) (R2 = 0.98 on average). The LAIM adsorption capacity and constant were 26.67 mg/g and 0.03 L/g, respectively at 27 oC. It increased dramatically to 0.09 L/g at 60 oC. The optimal adsorption condition obtained was the 0.5 M KOH activated LAFS-AC, initial Cu(II) concentration of 509.81 mg/L and 120-min contact time at 60 oC with the Cu(II) ions adsorption capacity of 26.95 mg/g.

Abstract

Like most cities in the world, population in Indonesia continues to grow every year. Problems that can arise from this are the increasing amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) production and the growing demand for electricity. To deal with the problems, Indonesian government runs 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) and WTE (Waste to Energy) Programs simultaneously. 3R program aims to reduce the number of waste, while WTE program aims to generate electricity as an alternative energy source. This study aims to find out the optimal proportion of MSW treated through the 3R and WTE programs. For the purpose, a goal programming model has been developed and solved using LINGO 11. The results showed that the optimal proportion of MSW through the 3R program is 49.90%, 12.37% through WTE program. This leaves 37.73% of waste untreated. The electricity generated from WTE program reached 1,229.695 GWh, total emissions that can be saved is 1,809,208.2 tons CO2 equivalent and total land-use for the programs is 4,036,239.1 m2. This study was enriched by performing some scenarios, i.e. adding budget allocation of WTE program, tightening the limit of total emission from waste management and reducing the limit of land-use for waste treatment.

Abstract

Automatic control system is widely applied to control the ship direction or heading angle in accordance with the decided trajectory. Several methods for improving performance of control system have been developed such as Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control and fuzzy logic based control. Within the last decade, application of automatic control system is not only for ship navigation but also for avoiding collision risk of ships in seaways. This paper discusses the application of automatic control system for avoiding ship collision by free running experiment. Fuzzy logic based control was developed using Mamdani Centroid method to estimate the necessary rudder angle in order to change the ship heading angle. Collision scenario was designed using four fixed obstacles with a certain distance which will be avoided by ship model. The results of free running experiment showed that the automatic control system can minimize the risk against collision or at least provide initial warning that may be faced by the ship. with minimum distance of 3.50 of length between perpendicular. To improve performance of control, external disturbance such as wind and wave should be considered in the design of automatic control system.

Abstract

An audio-magnetotelluric (AMT) survey has been performed at Cepu oil field located in Indonesia. The objective of this research is to detect resistivity structures of this important hydrocarbon rock. This research can be classified as an innovation in application of the AMT method for hydrocarbon exploration. The lack of seismic resolution has been provided by the AMT method, especially in the location of sub-basalt and sub-salt plays. In additional, the cost of AMT survey is quite low compared to seismic. The forward modelling is included in this research to understand the measurement data response from a mathematical model. In the field campaign, AMT data were acquired along two profiles in a frequency range of 0.1 to 8000 Hz. Anticlinal structure that has an E-W trend has also been identified by AMT resistivity model. Analyses of the AMT data suggest signatures of hydrocarbon reservoir from the anticlinal structure that indicated by a low resistivity zone. The basement structure is estimated to be located at 1600 m or deeper. This study concludes that, as far as the hydrocarbon prospects are concerned, the AMT results seem to confirm the continuation of the anticlinal structure, which was identified as the primary hydrocarbon prospect in previous studies.
