Judul: Sintesis dan uji aktivitas katalitik Fe3O4 dari campuran limbah wire plating sludge dan FeSO4 pada efisiensi pembakaran batu bara
Abstrak: Combustion catalyst is an additive added to the fuel to increase the heat energy released. Fe3O4 was the combustion catalyst used in this study, synthesized from PT Sumiden Cibinong wire plating sludge waste by coprecipitation between FeCl3 from wire plating sludge and FeSO4. Synthetic Fe3O4 was characterized by using Faurier transform infrared spectrophotometer, X-ray diffractometer, and atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The Fe2O3, Fe2O3+Fe3O4, and Fe3O4 catalysts were dispersed separately with oil, surfactant, and water. The catalyst mixed into coal having 4596 cal/g calorific value, with overall concentration of catalyst mixture in the coal was 0.01%(w/w). The combustion activity resulted by differential thermal analyzer showed an increase of combustion fficiency of 91.0% with Fe2O3 catalist, whereas addition of Fe3O4 catalyst decreased the efficiency of 55.6%.

Judul: Wire electroplating sludge sebagai katalis pembakaran batu bara
Abstrak: A fuel additive (combustion catalyst) can improve the combustion efficiency by promoting complete oxidation of fuel. Combustion catalyst in this research was composed of wire electroplating sludge dispersed in a mixture of vegetable oil, water, and surfactant. Four types of catalyst suspensions were prepared, namely A (2% sludge); B (3% sludge); C (2% sludge, 3% oxalyc acid); and D (3% sludge, 3% oxalyc acid). Addition of oxalyc acid in catalyst suspension C and D showed significant effects on combustion efficiency. Each suspension was applied in coal having caloric value of 5235.09 cal/g. The concentration of catalyst suspension in coal was about ±0.1% w/w. The results of activity test by using differential thermal analyzer showed that the energy efficiency from catalyst A was 62.21%, B: 97.19%, C: 77.96%, and D: 97.54%. Catalyst D (3% sludge, 3% oxalyc acid) is the best catalyst suspension that can be used as coal combustion catalyst.

Judul: Prolapsus vagina kronis, kausa dan teknik reposisinya
Abstrak: Prolapsus vagina kronis merupakan penyembulan bagian belakang hewan, khususnya lantai vagina melalui vulva, diikuti dengan perpindahan serviks dan uterus ke belakang. Pada sapi kejadian prolapsus vagina sering pada masa 2-3 bulan akhir kebuntingan, sedangkan pada domba dan hewan sejenisnya terjadi beberapa minggu sebelum melahirkan. Kasus prolapsus vagina kadang-kadang dapat terjadi setelah melahirkan, dan jarang terjadi tanpa ada hubungannya dengan kebuntingan atau kelahiran. Penyebab prolapsus vagina kronis belum dapat dipastikan, beberapa faktor umumnya ambil bagian. Faktor uta- ma adalah tingginya kadar hormon estrogen pada akhir kebuntingan. Faktor mekanis dengan meningkatnya tekanan intra abdominal dan gaya berat dari fetus dalam kandungan. Beberapa faktor predisposisi yang dapat menunjang terjadinya prolapsus vagina adalah: perlukaan saluran kelahiran, kelahiran yang rapat, makanan yang kurang baik, terbatasnya pergerakan, faktor lingkungan dan hereditas. Prolapsus vagina kronis umumnya hampir terjadi pada semua hewan piara, lebih sering pada sapi dan domba. Pada sapi sering terjadi pada sapi potong jenis Hereford ...
