Judul: Sintesis Zeolit dan Nanokomposit Zeolit/TiO2 dari Abu Layang dan Waterglass serta Uji Adsorpsi dan Fotodegradasinya
Abstrak: Coal fly ash contains 20.74% Si and 4.09% Al, rendering its possibility to be synthesized to zeolite. Zeolite was synthesized by smelting at 550 °C, and continued with hydrothermal method at 90 °C for 6 hours. The weighed fly ash was melted with solid NaOH and various amounts of waterglass at 550 °C for 1 hour, which were coded ZK1 for 1.0 g of waterglass added, ZK2 (1.5 g), ZK3 (2.5 g), ZK4 (5.0 g), and ZK5 (7.5 g). The results indicated that the zeolite has the character as type P1. ZK1 zeolite had the highest crystallinity (65%), therefore it was used further to synthesize zeolit/TiO2 nanocomposite. The nanocomposite was formed to improve the zeolite characters, especially adsorption-photodegradation capacity. The synthesized zeolite and the nanocomposite were tested for their adsorption capacities. The results showed that the ZK1 has the highest adsorption capacity, i.e. 147 mg/g. Optimization was performed on ZK1 and zeolit/TiO2 nanocomposite to compare their adsorption capacity and to determine their optimum conditions for adsorption. The optimum concentration of adsorbate that can be adsorbed by ZK1 was obtained at 400 ppm using 0.02 g adsorbent, with the adsorption time of 3 hours. Zeolite/TiO2 nanocomposite has optimum concentration of 250 ppm with the weight of adsorbent of 0.01 g, and the adsorption time of 1 hour. The nanocomposite zeolite was able degrade methylene blue under ultraviolet radiation for 6 hours at λ=365 nm.

Judul: Sintesis Zeolit X Dan Nanokomposit Zeolit/TiO2 Dari Kaolin Dengan Sekam Padi Sebagai Sumber Silika
Abstrak: Zeolite X was synthesized from kaolin originated from Bangka Belitung and was added with silica from rice husk ash. Zeolite X was synthesized because it has many benefits, including as an adsorbent. Kaolin was used as raw material due to its high content of silica and alumina, which were 48.03% and 35.50% respectively. Meanwhile, silica from rice husk ash was used in the form of sodium silicate. Zeolite was synthesized through hydrothermal process inside a polypropylene bottles, by mixing metakaolin, the calcined form of kaolin heated at 700 °C for 6 hours, with sodium silicate and NaOH to activate the major components of Si and Al in the kaolin. Hydrothermal processes were carried out at 100 °C for 24 hours with NaOH concentrations of 1.5 N and 2.5 N. The concentration of NaOH used was resulted in certain type of zeolite obtained. Zeolite X was obtained when the addition 2.5 N NaOH with NaP1 and Faujasite as impurities. On the other hand, NaOH 1.5 N gave NaP1 zeolite. Modification of zeolite to nanocomposite zeolit/TiO2 was shown to have better capability, that was adsorption-photocatalytic property due to its ability to degrade methylene blue under ultraviolet light.

Judul: Beberapa aspek anatomi alat sirkulasi ruang dada kancil
Abstrak: Telah dilakukan penelitian dengan menggunakan 10 ekor kancil dewasa jantan dan betina dengan tujuan untuk menge- tahui beberapa aspek anatomi alat sirkulasi di dalam ruang dada, meliputi jantung, pembuluh darah yang keluar dan ma- suk jantung serta ukuran-ukuran jantung. Kancil merupakan ruminansia terkecil di dunia, hidup di daerah tropika India, Thailand, Malaysia dan Indonesia bagian barat. Hewan ini dilindungi dan mempunyai prospek yang baik untuk hewan penelitian maupun dibudidayakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berat jantung rаta-rata adalah 0.69% dari berat rata-rata kancil. Dan ini mirip pada jantung kuda dan anjing. Bentuk jantung lonjong seperti halnya ruminansia. Demikian pula letaknya di dalam ruang dada seperti pada ruminansia dengan adanya Ligamentum sternopericardiacum. Di dalam ventrikel kanan membersit sebuah Musculus (M.) papillaris dari dindingnya dan tiga sampai empat Musculi (Mm.) papillares dari Septum interventriculare. Hanya dua buah Mm. papillares yang berukuran besar dibersitkan dari dinding ventrikel kiri. Percabangan Arteri (A.) coronaria sinistra lebih dominan dari pada A. coronaria dextra. Sedangkan A. sub clavia sinistra dicabangkan langsung dari aorta di dorso- caudal pembersitan Truncus (Tr.) brachiocephalicus…
