Judul: Pengembangan Membran Selulosa Asetat Menggunakan Natrium Dodesil Sulfat
Abstrak: Development of membrane technology is waste treatment unit is growing rapidly and widely used in separation process. Membrane technology is chosen because the process is simple, low energy use, nondestructive, and do not generate new waste, thus classified as a green good technology. The production of membrane was started by preparing polymeric mixture solution of cellulose acetate (CA) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in acetone. Composition of CA was 15% w/v and composition of SDS were varied from 0; 0.05; 0.01; to 0.125% w/v. The solution was stirred by ultrasonic for 3 hours and casted on the glass plate surface then immersed in warm water at 60 oC. The membranes were characterized by their rejection index. Rejection index was applied to detergent solution with concentration of 1600 ppm. When compared with values below the critical micelle concentration (CMC), the best average value of rejection index was resulted at the initiation of CMC, with SDS concentration of 0.125%. At that concentration, a quite high average values was obtained for the rejection index (77%). While, at the SDS concentration below CMC, 0.05% and 0.01%, the average index rejection values were 17% and 37%, repectively. The best CMC value was reached at the initiation (0.125%).

Abstrak: Nanopore membrane cellulose acetate-polystyrene with SDS as porogen, can be utilized as a filter in seawater desalination process. Nanopore membrane CA-PS was prepared under reverse phase method. The process was started with making polymeric mixed solution of cellulose acetate, polystyrene, and SDS in dichloromethane-acetone mixture (1:1), with composition of CA:PS:SDS were 9:1:0,5; 9:1:1; 9:1:1,5; 9:1:2; and 9:1: 2,5. The solution was stirred for ±16 hours and casted on the glass plate surface, and then submerged it into water of 40 oC and 60 oC. The average water flux in 40 oC temperature was 45,74−280,21 L/hour.m2 and in 60 oC temperature was 73,20−370,30 L/hour.m2. The average rejection index point membrane in 40 oC temperature was 23,41−37,39% and in 60 oC temperature was 30,77−37,93%. It showed that the membranes soaked in a warm water increased water flux and rejection index.

Abstrak: Bare-throathed whistler is one of several wild birds in Kelimutu National Park (TNKL) that is believed to have correlation with Lio Community‟s belief. The estimation of Bare-throated whistler‟s population in Kelimutu National Park was about 186.41-1668.07 individual by the density about 0.0389-0.3481 ind/ha with the sex ratio 6.2:1 that spreaded on area with height of 1100 – 1600 masl. The characteristic of Bare-throated whistler‟s habitat is a natural forest with various canopy level, high plant species diversity and high density. The habitat characteristics related to the availability of food in the form of insects, cover, safety and a nesting site. Generally the most of Lio community knew the existence of Bare-throated whistler directly or from their parents‟ stories. The perceptions of Lio Community to the Bare-throated whistler‟s existence is generally support the conservation efforts. The perceptions construct the Lio Community‟s atitude that tend to be conservative to the existence of Bare-throated whistler. The attitude shown by their behavior that not cathing the Bare-throated whistler from the TNKL‟s area or the outside. The attitude have an important role to the existence of Bare-throated whistler in Kelimutu National Park‟s area.
