The purpose of this research is to synthesize carbon nanofiber from pineapple leaf fibers as supercapacitor carbon electrodes. The synthesis of carbon nanofiber was carried out using two steps, namely KOH concentration variations and a combination of pineapple leaf fibers with pineapple leaves. The first step was to vary KOH concentration of 0.3 M, 0.5 M, 0.7 M, and 0.9 M. The best KOH concentr…
The synthesis of iron sand from Kata beach Pariaman Sumatera Barat has been done by ball milling method. Before the process of crunching of the iron sand concentrate using ball milling, the sample was first processed through Iron Sand Separator to obtain the iron sand concentrate. Subsequently, the concentrate was crunched using ball milling for 7 hours. Then the separation of iron oxide partic…
Research on the application of Fire Weather Index (FWI) system in peatland area for air humidity estimation in Rimbo Panjang Kampar village, Pekanbaru has been successfully done. Air humidity estimation is done by using the parameters of humidity, wind speed, air temperature and rainfall. The data is taken using Automatic Weather System (AWS) which has been installed in Rimbo Panjang Village wi…
Water chestnut are polluted weed plant in fresh water. The preliminary study of water chestnut in this research has been successfully suitable as a supercapacitor electrode. The first step of preparation the supercapacitor electrode includes a series of processes such as taking, cutting (± 2 cm), draining to constant mass, pre-carbonization at 250 °C, milling of 20 hours, chemical activation …
Pekanbaru city has a large population that increases every year along with the increasing number of vehicles. Increasing number of vehicles influence the traffic density therefore, gives higher on noise levels. Study on noise level at Jalan Jenderal Sudirman Pekanbaru has been done using modified model of Nickson and Johnson equation. Noise level was measured as a function of time and distanc…
Signals of the heart (electrocardiogram, EKG), and neural signals (electroencephalogram, EEG) in the fetus can not be detected directly when the fetus is still in the womb. Through this study, ECG signals and fetal EEG signals have been obtained through ultrasonographic imaging (Ultrasound) imaging using synthetic models and recording imaging models with computational approaches. In this study …
The construction of steam power plant at Tenayan Raya Sail Regency, Pekanbaru to appear the environmental impact. One of the impact coud be on aquifer (water carrier) in the steam power plant location. The existence of ground water can be affected by level of soil porosity in the location. One of methods to find condition of ground water resource is by using geoelectrical configuration S…
Research on three dimensional models of the depth of underground water under the effects of integrated environmental factors has been successfully done. Groundwater used by residents, industry, public facilities, agriculture, livestock, and traditional market can affect the depth of underground water conditions. The purpose of this research is to obtain three dimensional map of underground…
Modification of dye sensitized solar cells by adding Ag-Au to ZnO nanorods has successfully been carried out by seed mediated growth method. Addition of Ag-Au has been done at different duration time of growth and number of Au-seeding process. The characterization results of XRD, FESEM-EDX concluded that new structures of Ag has not been observed, but it was substituted to the ZnO nanorods latt…
Carbonization and integrated physical activation processes were offered as an alternative method of production of activated carbon electrodes with relatively short time, ie ± 10.5 hours. This process was started by heating of samples at room temperature up to temperature resistant of 352oC using N2 at a rate of increasing temperature of 1oC/min. This process was continued until a maximum carb…
. The increase in oil palm plantations area will increase the oil palm plantation crops. Besides the results in oil palm fresh fruit bunches, the oil palm also produces waste in the form of pulp stems, leaves and midrib. Results of waste in palm midrib are very much in keeping with the age of oil palm itself. Therefore, the growth of palm oil can be predicted by knowing the length of midrib cau…
It has been conducted a preparation of dye hybrid from purple sweet potato as a sensitizer in Dye Sensitized Solar Cell. In this research a variation of precursor pH in extracting antocyanin was carried out. Absorption spectra of purple-sweetpotatos dye was observed at wavelength range of 480-580 nm with strongest absorbance occured at 530 nm. The highest absorbance was resulted from the pH-1 s…
