Natrium doped ZnO nanorods were successfully grown on FTO substrates using the seed mediated hydrothermal method. The growth of the ZnO nanorods was carried out with variations in growth time of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 hours, using a concentration of 2% NaOH relative to the total solution volume. This research was conducted to investigate the physical properties of natrium doped ZnO nanorods…

ABSTRACT Paper making is a process of arranging fiber into sheets. During the papermaking process, water is removed from the fiber network, resulting in increasingly tight bonds bween fibers and accompanied by changes in th shape of the fibers to flat. Fiber blending is a paper production technique based on a combination and mixing of different fibers. Compared of using 100% of the same ty…
ABSTRACT Bleached Chemi-ThermoMechanical Pulp (BCTMP) is widely used in the paper industry due to its lower production costs. This study aims to determine the effect of the use of BCTMP on the dose of colourants, especially Optical Brightening Agent (OBA) and dye violet. Data was obtained from PI (Plant Information) and PMIS (Process Management Information System). The results of the analysis …
The relationship or connection between a community's culture and the surrounding plant life is known as ethnobotany. Knowledge about the utilization of biodiversity varies in its practices, such as for food, traditional medicine, cultural rituals, and construction materials. One area that still practices traditional knowledge is Segamai Village. This research aims to (1) Gather information abou…
The Poaceae family or the grass family, is a cosmopolitan group of plants with significant benefits in food, livestock feed, and industrial applications. Its high diversity and crucial role present challenges in classification and taxonomy, particularly due to morphological similarities among species. Specific and accurate species identification can be achieved through a molecular approach usin…
ABSTRACT Paper is often used as a medium for writing, printing, and various other purposes. In the production process, the quality of paper is greatly influenced by the type of pulp used. One alternative pulp that is increasingly being used is Bleached Chemi Thermo-Mechanical Pulp (BCTMP), a semi-chemical pulp with high bulky properties and lower production costs than kraft pulp. This study ai…
