Nanostructured materials synthesized by the hydrothermal and thermal reduction process were tested to detect the dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) as a simulant for chemical warfare agents. Manganese oxide nitrogen-doped graphene oxide with polypyrrole (MnO2@NGO/PPy) exhibited the sensitivity of 51 Hz for 25 ppm of DMMP and showed the selectivity of 1.26 Hz/ppm. Nitrogen-doped multi-walled carbon nanotube (N-MWCNT) demonstrated good linearity with a correlation coefficient of 0.997. A comparison between a surface acoustic wave and quartz crystal microbalance sensor exhibited more than 100-times higher sensitivity of SAW sensor than QCM sensor.

ABSTRACTThe formation of carbon nanostructures using silica nanoparticles from quartz substrates as a catalyst in an aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition process was examined. The silica particles are reduced to silicon carbide via a carbothermal reduction process. The recyclability of the explored quartz substrates is also presented. The addition of triethyl borate improves the efficiency of the carbothermal reduction process and carbon nanotubes formation. Moreover, the addition of hydrogen during the chemical vapor deposition leads to the helical carbon nanostructures formation.

Ag nanoparticles were grown on glass substrate by spin coating of Ag ions (AgNO3) solution followed by either chemical reduction, in aqueous hydrazine or NaBH4 solution, or by thermal reduction in H2 environment. Effects of different reducing agent have been explained. Morphology and absorbance spectra ofAg nanoparticles films, measured by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible Spectrophotometer techniques, are used to understand effect of reduction process on growth of Ag nanoparticles. To grow uniformly size distributed Ag nanoparticles thermal reduction in H2 is better than chemical reduction by aqueous either NaBH4 orhydrazine hydrate solutions.

PURIFICATION OF INDONESIAN NATURAL GRAPHITE AS CANDIDATE FOR NUCLEAR FUEL MATRIX BY ACID LEACHING METHOD: CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION. Graphite matrix in Pebble Bed Reactor (PBR) – High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor (HTGR) has an important role as heat transfer medium, neutron moderator and structural material to protect fuel. Thus, graphite matrix must fulfill chemical and physical characteristics for PBR-HTGR fuel. Indonesia has graphite sources in several regions that can potentially be purified. This research aimed to purify Indonesian natural graphite by several variation of acids and to perform chemical characterizations. Natural graphite from flotation process was purified by several variations of acid, i. e., hydrofluoric acid (HF), sulphuric acid + nitric acid (H2SO4 + HNO3) and hydrofluoric acid + hydrochloric acid + sulphuric acid (HF + HCl + H2SO4) and subsequently followed by chemical characterizations such as purity level, ash content, and boron quivalent. The highest purity was obtained in the purification process by HF with carbon content up to 99.52%; this purity level fulfills the specification of nuclear graphite (>99%). Ash content analysis shows a value in compliance with the specification requirement, i.e., < 100 ppm, and boron equivalent value also fulfills the specification value of < 1 ppm. It can be concluded from this study that the graphite purified by acid leaching with HF can be used as fuel matrix candidate but is qualified as low quality. Futher research is required to produce high quality nuclear graphite, particularly research in the minimization of the impurity by evaporation at temperatures over 950 oC to by far lower the ash content.Keywords:  Indonesian natural graphite, purification, nuclear fuel matrix, acid leaching, chemical characterization.
