Judul: Kajian Implementasi Produksi Bersih di Industri Penyamakan Kulit (Kasus Desa Cibuluh, Kecamatan Bogor Utara)
Abstrak: Leather tanning industries are industries that process animal skin to produce finish leather product by using many stages of process. Every stage of the process will generate a large amount of wastes, either liquid or solid wastes. If the waste is not treated properly, it will cause environmental pollution. Implementation of cleaner production strategy can be used to solve this problem. This research studies the potentials of cleaner production application and alternative of cleaner production strategy in order to develop environmental friendly tanning industry in Cibuluh. The method used was process identification, waste sourch identification, and cleaner production analysis strategy. The cleaner production alternatives which are potential to be applied are design of installation wastewater to IPAL with pipe from molen machine, reuse wastewater from pre soaking process for the next batch, separation wastewater from hair and flesh, processing of fleshing waste for fat, and recycle chromium from tanning wastewater. Based on the priority alternative, three options were selected, namely recycle chromium from tanning wastewater, separation wastewater from hair and flesh, and reuse wastewater from pre soaking process for the next batch. The total investment of these option is Rp 2,059,500,- with pay back period (PBP) of 0.17 month. The Analitycal Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis result shows that industrial policy is the most important factor to minimize waste product of tanning industry. The priority of cleaner production program from AHP analysis is recycle chromium from tanning wastewater which is consistent to that resulted from field study.

Judul: Hybrid solar cells of ZnO nanoparticles/chlorophyll was modified metal ions (Zn2+ and Cu2+ )
Abstrak: Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a n-type semiconductor with a wide the energy band (Band Gap) is 3.37 eV at room temperature and 3.34 eV at low temperature with a large exiton binding energy is 60 meV. ZnO has been synthesized by hydrothermal method, resulting in a decrease in particle size over the duration of the hydrothermal changes. Crystallographic structure of ZnO were characterized using XRD, has shown the characteristic pattern of a hexagonal wurtzite structure, the crystallite size increases to changes in particle size. Changes in particle size has also led to a change in the absorption peak of ZnO as has been demonstrated posted under test using the optical properties of UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Changes of this uptake has also led to changes in the energy band gap, which increases its band gap energy of the particle size. In electronic applications, especially in solar cells. Chlorophyll is considered less effective, because of their very nature are easily degraded as a result of several reactions which are acid, lighting and temperature. The results of the stability test using a halogen lamp 34 W/m2 for 5 hours, that the substitution of chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form more stable than natural chlorophyll. The characterization of the optical properties, the combination of ZnO / chlorophyll in the form of hybrid films has led to a shift in the absorption region of ZnO becomes more widely from the UV to Visible. ZnO/chlorophyll has absorption range of 350-515 nm, ZnO / Zn-feofitin 332-401 nm and 332-632 nm for Cu-feofitin. The combination of ZnO/chlorophyll and CuSCN as a solid electrolite in hybrid solar cell, a modified chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form a more stable I-V curve. It is characterized by its fill factor value greater than natural chlorophyll. Nevertheless, solar cells with natural chlorophyll has been able to produce higher efficiency values of chlorophyll were substituted.
