Production of Graphene By Coconut Shell As an Electrode Primary Battery Cell

Abstract: Coconut shells are a natural resource that contains a lot of carbon (C). The pyrolysis process can be used to create coconut shells. A single layer of carbon atoms that have undergone sp2 hybridization to form a hexagonal, two-dimensional structure is known as Graphene. Graphene has excellent potential for battery manufacturing applications, supercapacitors, etc. Activated carbon and the pyrolisis method of producing Graphene were combined and heated to 600 oC for one hour. The graphene generated is assessed using an XRD, SEM-EDX, TEM, Raman, and conductometer. The results of the X-ray diffractogram analysis revealed that the peaks at 2θ = 23,87o and 44,5o are not particularly sharp and slightly broadened. It means Graphene are well formed. SEM-EDX investigation reveals that the surface size and shape structure is smaller and thinner, a flat pile dominated by carbon atoms. The result of conductometer analysis shows the electrical conductivity of Graphene is quite good, but Graphene can still not control the movement of electrons. Graphene has layer distances between Graphene and Graphene layers are 3.3 Å (TEM data), with many Graphene layers being 0.85 (multi-layer) (Raman data).Abstrak: Batok kelapa merupakan salah satu sumber daya alam yang mengandung banyak karbon (C). Proses pirolisis dapat digunakan untuk membuat batok kelapa. Satu lapisan atom karbon yang telah mengalami hibridisasi sp2 untuk membentuk struktur dua dimensi heksagonal dikenal sebagai Grafena. Grafena memiliki potensi besar untuk aplikasi pembuatan baterai, superkapitasitor, dan sebagainya. Karbon aktif dengan metode pirolisis untuk memproduksi Grafena dipanaskan hingga 600 oC selama satu jam. Grafena yang dihasilkan dikarakterisasi menggunakan XRD, SEM-EDX, TEM, Raman, and Konductometer. Hasil analisis difraktogram sinar-X mengungkapkan bahwa puncak pada 2θ = 24,22o dan 44o tidak terlalu tajam dan sedikit melebar. Ini berarti Grafena terbentuk dengan baik. Analisis SEM-EDX mengungkapkan bahwa ukuran permukaan dan struktur bentuk lebih kecil dan lebih tipis dan itu adalah tumpukan datar yang didominasi oleh atom karbon. Hasil analisis konduktometer menunjukkan konduktivitas listrik Grafena cukup baik, namun Grafena masih belum mampu mengontrol pergerakan elektron. Grafena memiliki jarak lapisan antara lapisan  Grafena dan Grafena adalah 3,3 Å (data TEM) dengan jumlah lapisan Grafena adalah 0,85 (multilapisan) (data Raman)

Utilization of coconut shells in the manufacture of appropriate goods

Coconut shell inside is hard or very hard polymer, because of the composition of lignin > cellulose, such material  s not good as a TV antenna. Because if given electromagnetic waves there will be vibrations of molecules >>  ure rotation. To overcome this, the lignin concentration is reduced so that the concentration of lignin <cellulose can be used as a TV antenna, HP, because such material has become soft material. This combination of soft> hard polymers can theoretically be used for the purpose of detecting earthquakes, satellite etc. If the coconut is shaken, there will be ripples of coconut water to the ears, facts thus showing that the coconut shell has gaps or pores which carries waves of coconut water to the ears, which come out through the interface of lignin cellulose. The initial symptoms thus mean that the coconut shell can reflect and absorb waves. The advantages of this antenna can close up more clear, clear, cool clearer eyes and reception, can be used in the lowlands, highlands and at the bottom sea, this antenna is very good performance for high frequencies, can close up clearer, clear, cool in the eyes and voice reception clearer

The advantages of this antenna can close up more clear, clear, cool clearer eyes and reception, can be used in the lowlands, highlands and at the bottom sea, this antenna is very good performance for high frequencies, can close up clearer, clear, cool in the eyes and voice reception clearer

Application of coconut battery waste to graphic as an alternative electrode on primary battery cells

Coconut shell is one of the potential biomass as carbon sources. Coconut shell is converted to charcoal through the carbonization process. The potential of charcoal from coconut shells can be synthesized into graphene. Graphene is a derivative of one of the carbon allotropes, namely graphite, where carbon is in the form of thin plates with sp2 orbitals arranged hexagonally. The process of making graphene which is coconut shell dried in the sun then pyrolysis into charcoal then mixed with activated carbon as a reducing agent at 600 ° C for 1 hour to produce graphene. The graphene produced is characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX). The results by XRD analysis showed the resulting peaks were not sharp and slightly widened at the diffraction peaks at 24 ° and 44 °. The results of SEM-EDX analysis at 4000x magnification show the surface size and shape of the structure that is smaller, thinner and reduced buildup on the graphene structure. graphene that has been successfully synthesized was tested on a coin battery. The coin battery cathode which was replaced with graphene succeeded in turning on the light. &nbsp

AIR QUALITY MONITORING OF KALABAHI-ALOR’S SEAPORT-EAST OF NUSA TENGGARA

Evaluation of environment of seaport is needed as well as our responsibility to nature sustainability. The Alor’s seaport belongs to Pelindo III. In order to know the air quality of Alor’s seaport, we did this study. Our aims are to know level quality of air at Alor’s seaport and compare to the government regulation. This study refers to Pararosaniline (SOx), Saltzman (NOx), Particle Calculation (dust) and decibel (noisy) methods. We used four locations, those are A-1 (Entrance gate of PELINDO (8013’09.12”S, 124031’07.21”E)); A-2 (In front of passengers terminal (8013’08.75”S, 124031’01.60”E)); A-3 (Exit  gate Kalabahi’s seaport (8013’08.2”S, 124031’00.87”E)) and A-4 (In front of port of the people (8011’09.12”S, 124031’07.21”E)). Results show that the averages level of SOx, NOx and dust of A-1, A-2 and A-3 are 103.01, 104.65 and 107.47 (µg/Nm3), 37.87, 30.62, and 39.73 (µg/Nm3), 56.64, 47.47 and 50.72 (µg/Nm), respectively. On the other hand, the level of noisy of A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4 are 68.76, 65.69, 65.20 and 73.60 (dBA), respectively. Base on all of data, we conclude that the air quality of Alor’s seaport is still appropriate according to government regulation (PP. No. 4, 1999)

Conversion of Palm Oil (CPO) into Fuel Biogasoline through Thermal Cracking Using a Catalyst Based Na-Bentonite and Limestone of Soil Limestone NTT

Cracking catalytic palm oil (CPO) into hydrocarbon fuel by saponification pretreatment has been carried out with bentonite and limestone-based catalysts. The catalysts used were Na-bentonite and Limestone NTT which were first analyzed using XRF, XRD, and SEM. Saponification pretreatment was carried out on CPO to facilitate the cracking process using a catalyst. The saponification product in the form of a mixture of soap and glycerol was then analyzed by DSC to determine the degradation temperature. Catalytic cracking is carried out in two stages, namely, the first stage hydrocracking at a temperature of 250-350°C using a stainless steel reactor is the source of catalyst Fe / Cr. The resulting distillate was then cracked again using a Na-bentonite catalyst and a TKNTT catalyst. The resulting fuel is a hydrocarbon fuel which is confirmed from the FT-IR results which indicate the presence of long-chain hydrocarbon compounds. This data is also supported by the results of the GC-MS analysis which shows that the fuel fraction produced is mostly biogasoline. Where cracking using a Na-bentonite catalyst produces a biogasoline fraction of 61.36% and a biodiesel fraction of 38.63%, THAT produces a biogasoline fraction of 88.88% and a biodiesel fraction of 11.11%. The characteristics of the hydrocarbon fuels that have been analyzed show that the calorific value of combustion is 6101 cal/g which is determined using a bomb calorimeter, and the cetane index is 62 which is analyzed using CCI. Both types of hydrocarbon fuels have met the physical requirements that must be possessed by biogasoline fuel based on SNI standards
