Karakterisasi Besi Oksida Hasil Korosi Alami vs Elektrolisis dan Analisa Kelayakan sebagai Iron Fuel

Sutoyo Sutoyo — 2025-05-03

Besi oksida dapat dikategorikan dalam beberapa jenis dan terbentuk melalui berbagai metode. Tiga prosedur umum untuk memperoleh oksida besi yaitu proses korosi, proses kimia basah, dan proses elektrolisis. Proses elektrolisis secara signifikan dipengaruhi oleh tegangan dan arus listrik yang diterapkan. Oleh karena itu memahami sifat-sifat oksida besi yang dihasilkan selama elektrolisis sangat penting. Pengaruh kuantitas listrik pada laju oksidasi memerlukan penyelidikan untuk menentukan parameter yang sesuai. Namun demikian, karakteristiknya harus dievaluasi menggunakan beberapa metode, termasuk pengujian XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) yang merupakan teknik analisis untuk menentukan komposisi unsur dari sampel. Untuk menentukan jenis oksida besi, perbandingan sifat fisik setiap sampel sangat penting. Bentuk alami Fe₂O₃ disebut sebagai hematit, sedangkan Fe₃O₄ dikenal sebagai magnetit. Keduanya adalah oksida besi dengan warna berbeda; Fe₂O₃ biasanya berwarna coklat muda atau coklat kemerahan. Fe₃O₄ biasanya menunjukkan rona gelap atau coklat kehitaman. Penelitian ini menunjukkan hasil bahwa sampel yang dielektrolisis termasuk dalam kategori hematit berdasarkan warnanya, sedangkan sampel yang dihasilkan dari korosi alami lebih mirip dengan magnetit. Data uji XRF menunjukkan konsentrasi oksida 27,8% berat dalam sampel yang dielektrolisis. Fluktuasi tegangan dan arus selama proses elektrolisis hampir tidak mempengaruhi kandungan oksida yang dihasilkan.

Analisis Kelayakan Usaha Budidaya Udang Vaname Menuju Agriculture yang Berkelanjutan Di Kecamatan Buayan Kabupaten Kebumen (Studi Kasus Di Tambak Udang Jladri)

Awaludin Yusuf Basuki — 2025-05-05

Jladri Shrimp Farm is a shrimp farm that has promising economic prospects, especially as Indonesia's leading export commodity. This pond faces various challenges from technical, economic and environmental aspects that can affect its sustainability. This study aims to analyze the feasibility of Vaname shrimp farming in Jladri Shrimp Pond based on these three aspects in order to provide recommendations for sustainable business development. The results showed that technically, this farm has an average Survival Rate (SR) value above 70%, which indicates a good Survival Rate of shrimp, as well as Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) values ranging from 0.85 to 1.1, which indicates optimal feed efficiency. From an economic point to view, significant results were obtained as evidenced by the Payback Period of 1 year 6 months 14 days, a positive Net Present Value (NPV) of Rp 7,516,119,200, a Profitability Index (PI) of 7.54, and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 111%. However, the environmental assessment showed that carbon emissions from electricity and fuel consumption exceeded the standards set, indicating the need for increased energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy to reduce environmental impacts and improve the sustainability of shrimp farming.

Life Cycle Cost Analysis of Maintenance Approaches for High-Wear Components in PVC Pipe Extruders: A Systematic Review

Abideen Temitayo Oyewo — 2025-05-05

Screws, barrels, and dies are high-wear parts in PVC pipe extruders; therefore, implementing an efficient maintenance plan to guarantee maximum productivity and reduce overall cost of production in plastics manufacturing. This paper used a systematic review of academic literature (2018–2025) and performed an LCC analysis to evaluate corrective, preventive, and predictive maintenance approaches. The assessable cost factors consisted of labour cost, production downtime, replacement of spare parts, and effect of maintenance on the resource of the component. Further, it was discovered that the corrective maintenance which took a reactive approach had a low first cost but high cost throughout the use of equipment due to repetitive breakdowns and unscheduled downtimes. The application of preventive maintenance, as a way to minimize the risk of dangerous failures, led to moderate costs as a result of possible over-maintenance. CBM self-organized to condition-based monitoring and use of big data allowed for the development of a predictive maintenance strategy, which proved more cost-effective than the other three. The advantages of PM include decreased down time, increased component durability, increased reliability, and overall reduced costs for the system’s life cycle. These findings call for the implementation of preventive measures on the PVC pipe extruder systems to optimize manufacturing and cut costs in the long run for increased reliability of manufacturing processes
