Judul: Pengolahan Limbah Cair Laboratorium dengan Proses Elektrokoagulasi
Abstrak: Liquid Laboratory waste contains dissolved heavy metals, such as mercury (Hg), silver (Ag), and chromium (Cr) in high concentrations and have potential to pollute the environment. The waste produced in small quantities, but the waste are toxic and until now there is no adequate treatment. Electrocoagulation is a liquid waste processing technique by agglomerate and precipitate fine particles in water using electrical energy. The purpose of this research was to determine of variations in power supply voltage and the contact time to find out the best combination of electrocoagulation process regarding the removal efficiency of the pollutants. Liquid waste as much as 500 mL was treated in batch mode using iron electrode. Samples were given a voltage of 6, 9, and 12 V for 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours. The best combination based on the reduction of color, turbidity, and TSS was 12 volts with a contact time of 2 hours. Total cost for the treatment was 85.74 rupiahs per L.

Judul: Optimasi Penggunaan Koagulan Terhadap Rancangan Unit Koagulasi, Flokulasi, dan Sedimentasi pada Pengolahan Air Limbah Laboratorium
Abstrak: Laboratories wastewater of Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) Dramaga is one of the parties who contribute environmental pollution. Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) located in front of the Veterinary Medicine Faculty serves to treat wastewater in order that appropiate with the treshold. The systems which is used in WWTP IPB is coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filter system (sand filters and carbon filters), and disinfection. The objective of this research is to analyze the characteristics of laboratiories wastewater, optimization of using coagulants, and designing coagulation-flocculation and sedimentation units, along with making the mass balance. This study done in two stages, the first stage was primary and secondary data collecting and the second stage was wastewater characteristics analyzing, doing jar test, and design units. Based on the results, the parameters pH, N-NO2, NH3, H2S has met quality standards but TDS, COD, BOD, oil and grease do not meet the threshold . The final concentration of TDS, COD, BOD, and oil and grease in a row at 11273 mg /L, 3300 mg/L, 442 mg/L, and 181 mg/L. The optimum dose of coagulant that can be used for wastewater treatment lab was 6250 mg/L PAC + 62500 mg/L alum. The mass balance indicates that TSS concentration at efluent already under the threshold that is 93 mg/L, whereas BOD was still above the threshold which was 331.77 mg / L. On coagulation and flocculation unit, stirrer speed does not meet the criteria. On sedimentation unit, BOD can be reduced up to 48 % and TSS reduction can be up to 70 %.

Judul: Karakteristik Suara Song Burung Kenari (Serinus canaria) Postur Besar dan Kecil.
Abstrak: Burung kenari (Serinus canaria) memiliki nyanyian yang sangat bervariasi dengan durasi yang panjang dan merupakan tipe burung bernyanyi open learners. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis karakteristik suara song burung kenari (Serinus canaria). Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan April sampai Juni 2017 di Bogor, Jawa Barat. Perekaman suara song terhadap 12 ekor burung kenari jantan dilakukan dengan menggunakan mikrofon Sennheiser ME66 dan alat perekam Sony PCM-D50. Burung kenari yang digunakan merupakan burung yang pernah mengikuti kontes burung kicau dan memiliki predikat juara kontes burung. Amplitudo, durasi suara, frekuensi, dan volume suara burung dianalisis dengan menggunakan software Raven Pro 1.4. Data tersebut selanjutnya dianalisis deskriptif. Hasil analisis suara menunjukkan bahwa burung kenari memiliki banyak syllable, suara song rapat dan tidak terputus-putus, tempo yang cepat, dan adanya pengulangan suku kata pada setiap suara song. Burung kenari postur kecil memiliki rataan durasi lebih panjang dibandingkan dengan kenari postur besar, tetapi burung kenari besar memiliki rataan max amplitudo, average power, max power, min amplitudo, peak amplitudo, dan peak frekuensi.
