Judul: Kinerja Antikorosi Zink Dialkilditiofosfat Berdasarkan Studi Termodinamika dan Kinetika dengan Teknik Polarisasi Potensiodinamik
Abstrak: Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDTP) is lubricant additives and has function as anti-friction, anti-wear, antioxidant, and anti-corrosion. ZDTP Performances as anti-corrosion is measured by potentiodynamic polarization technique. Three types of ZDTP were prepared, based on the alkyl chain length. The Measurement shows that ZDTP 8 has the highest corrosion inhibition affectivity as compared to ZDTP 4 and ZDTP 16. The inhibition affectivity of ZDTP 8 to metal Cu reaching 80% in the concentration 2% of inhibitor solution. This research result also explains the influence of alkyl chain length on the performance of ZDTP as anti-corrosion. Thermodynamic parameter verification shows corrosion spontaneity decrease by the present of inhibitor. Corrosion activation energy with present ZDTP 8 is 38.60 kJ mol-1, the value is bigger than blank activation energy namely 31.14 kJ mol-1. This phenomena shows that decreasing corrosion rate relate with increasing minimum energy of reaction.

Judul: Kinerja Antikorosi Zink Diarilditiofosfat dengan Teknik Polarisasi Potensiodinamika
Abstrak: Zinc diaryldithiophosphate (ZDTP) is a lubricant additive that functions as antiwear, anticorrosion, antioxidant, and antifriction. The ZDTP function has been studied in this experiment by measuring its function as anticorrosion using potentiodynamic polarization technique. The highest ZDTP yield was 70%. The measurement shows that ZDTP has high corrosion inhibiton effectivity as proved by the optimum value of %IE in the concentration 1% of inhibitor solution of 84.45% with surface coverage of 0.84. Thermodynamic parameter shows corrosion spontaneity decreased due to the present of inhibitor. The value of activation energy in Cu metal corrosion process with the present of inhibitor was 52.32 kJ mol-1, the value is higher than the blank activation energy, i.e 31.47 kJ mol-1. This fact shows a decreasing corrosion rate with increasing minimum energy of reaction.

Judul: Populasi dan Habitat Kakatua-Kecil Jambul-Kuning di Bentang Alam Mbeliling Bagian Barat, Kabupaten Manggarai Barat, Nusa Tenggara Timur
Abstrak: Cacatua sulphurea parvula or yellow-crested cockatoo were spread distributed at Sunda Kecil Archipelago, Nusa Tenggara, except at Sumba Island. This species amount in the nature is very small, caused by the illegal hunting and trading. The purpose of this research is to get the information about population and habitat of the cockatoo in Flores, especially at the western part of Mbeliling Landscape. Cocatoo census was conducted by look-down method at vantage points when cockatoo flew passed by. Habitat analysis was carried out with vegetation analysis. The census showed that there were two groups of cockatoo, consisted of 69 cockatoos in Tao hill and 15 cockatoos in Nggoer River. Flight pattern of each group ranged 0-100 meters above the sea level and crossed mangrove forest, savanna, monsoon forest and cultivation plant vegetation. The vegetation analysis resulted Ceiba petandra or silk-cotton tree as the tree that most used by cockatoo and had the highest TIV (Tree Importance Value), 47,48%. Cockatoo’s foods which observed were crown flower (Calotropis gigantea), and Moringa olifera. The population of Cockatoo which observed at western part of Mbeliling Landscape was estimated came from Rinca Island, Komodo National Park. It can be concluded that the location might be only used by rhe cockatoo came from Rinca Island as their daily exploration area for foraging.
