Tandan Kosong Sawit (TKS) merupakan limbah padat dari industri pengolahan kelapa sawit yang melimpah di Indonesia dan mengandung banyak selulosa. Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) dapat diproduksi dari serat TKS. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mensintesis MFC dari serat TKS melalui proses alkalisasi,  pemutihan dan hidrolisis. TKS dicacah dan dihaluskan hingga berukuran 60 mesh untuk proses pembuatan pulp TKS. Proses alkalisasi dilakukan dalam reaktor menggunakan 4% NaOH pada suhu 90˚C selama 2 jam dan dilanjutkan dengan proses pemutihan mengunakan 20% H2O2 pada suhu kamar selama 2 jam. Kemudian proses hidrolisis dilakukan menggunakan asam oksalat 5% pada suhu 80°C selama 1 jam. MFC yang dihasilkan dianalisis menggunakan Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Difraction (XRD), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) dan Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). Hasil analisis FTIR menunjukkan bahwa adanya penurunan kadar lignoselulosa yang dikonfirmasi juga oleh hasil uji kuantitatif kadar lignin. Hasil uji XRD menunjukkan peningkatan nilai kristalinitas. Hasil uji TGA menunjukkan hidrolisis menggunakan asam oksalat 5% dapat meningkatkan area degradasi termal dan hasil FESEM menunjukkan telah terjadi proses fibrilisasi serat dan penurunan diameter ukuran serat dari 400 µm menjadi 10 µm. Dari hasil penelitian ini, jika dilihat dari hasil kristalinitas, sifat termal dan ukuran diameter serat, proses hidrolisis menggunakan asam oksalat 5% adalah proses yang baik untuk pembuatan MFC dari serat TKS. Synthesis of Micro-Fibrillated Cellulose (MFC) from Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) Fiber with Oxalic Acid HydrolysisAbstractOil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB), which is a solid waste from the palm oil processing industry, has a high availability in Indonesia, and it contains a lot of cellulose. Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) can be produced from OPEFB fiber. This work’s objective was to synthesize MFC from fibers of OPEFB through the process of alkalization, bleaching process, and the hydrolysis process using an oxalic acid solution. The procedure began chopped fiber until 60 mesh, and alkalization process of pulping OPEFB in the reactor using 4% NaOH at the temperature of 90 ˚C for 2 hours. It continued with the addition of 20% H2O2 at room temperature for 2 hours. The hydrolysis process is carried out using an oxalic acid 5 % at temperature of 80°C for 1 hour. MFC was analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The FTIR analysis showed that the quantitative result also confirmed a decrease in lignocellulose content. XRD result showed an increase in the value of crystallinity. TGA results showed that hydrolysis using oxalic acid can increase the area of thermal degradation, and FESEM results showed there is a decreasing diameter of fiber from 400 µm to 10 µm. From the results of this study, when viewed from the results of crystallinity, thermal properties, and size of the fiber diameter, the hydrolysis process using 5% oxalic acid is a good process for making MFCs from TKS fibers.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to synthesise and characterise surface-capped molybdenum sulphide (SCMS) nanoparticles using the solvothermal method and to investigate their tribological behaviour towards friction improver and wear reduction for bio-based lubricant oil additives. Design/methodology/approach The design of the experiment was to use freshly prepared molybdenum (II) acetate, thioacetamide, fatty acid and hexane as the solvent inside an autoclave vessel which is heated at high temperature and pressure. Various types of fatty acids were used as the capping agent, such as caproic, lauric, stearic and oleic acid. The SCMS nanoparticles formed were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and thermal gravimetric analysis. These nanoadditives were then blended into pentaerythrityl tetracaprylate/caprate ester at 0.05 Wt.% concentration. The formulated bio-based lubricant oil samples were tested for viscosity, viscosity index (VI) and density based on standard method ASTM D445 and ASTM D2270. A four-ball test was carried out for determination of coefficient of friction and wear scar diameter. The wear scar formed on the surface of the ball bearing was analysed using scanning electron microscopy. Findings The characterisation results showed that SCMS nanoparticles were successfully formed with amorphous ball-like structure, and the presence of the capping layer surrounding the nanoparticles was confirmed. Then, the formulated bio-based lubricant oil with addition of nanoadditives displays improved tribological properties in term of VI, antifriction and wear reduction. Originality/value This research provides a synthesis method of producing SCMS nanoparticles using the organomolybdenum complex as the chemical precursor through the solvothermal reaction approach. Besides that, it also gives an alternative antifriction and antiwear nanoadditive for formulation of the bio-based lubricant oil.

The present work focuses on the influence of copper complexes in the MAO electrolyte on the structure and wears resistance of ceramic coating on the surface of titanium alloy. The coatings composition and the morphologies were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is shown that the working voltage of MAO reaction was lower after adding [Cu (NH3)4]2+than adding EDTA-Cu. The color of ceramic coating is black (prepared in the electrolyte with [Cu (NH3)4]2+) and brown (prepared in the electrolyte with EDTA-Cu). The black coating contained rutile TiO2, anatase TiO2and aluminium titanate (Al2TiO5), while the brown coating contained rutile and anatase only. The black coating which contained CuO compound was found to outperform brown coating in wear resistance.

Cellulose microfibers (CMF) were produced by utilizing recycled newspaper paper (RNP) as starting material. This approach is considered as green since recycling newspaper leads to the environment preservation and also cost-effective. The effect on the structural properties of cellulose produced at different stage of pretreatment were investigated by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The FTIR and SEM demonstrate that the hemicellulose and lignin was successfully removed from the structure of the CMF. XRD and TGA results revealed that the different step of pretreatment was increased the crystallinity and thermal stability of CMF increased gradually. The improvement in CMF crystallinity has improved its thermal properties which is important in the field of reinforcement material.

O óleo e a gordura vegetal residual, utilizados para a preparação de alimentos representam um perigoso poluente para as águas de córregos e rios. Um dos métodos mais utilizados nas últimas décadas para limpeza da água oleosa é a aplicação de biossorventes, pois apresentam facilidade para remoção e recuperação do óleo. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a influência das modificações do bagaço de cana com anidrido acético (acetilação) e com 3-aminopropiltrietoxisilano (silanização) sob a sorção de óleo vegetal. A modificação das fibras foi avaliada pelas técnicas de espectroscopia no infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FTIR), análise termogravimétrica (TG), difração de raios X, microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e análise de área superficial e porosidade. Os resultados obtidos indicaram maior sorção de óleo vegetal para o bagaço de cana modificado com anidrido acético (BCA), 667 mg.g-1, seguido pelo bagaço de cana sem modificação (BCN) com sorção de 576 mg.g-1. O bagaço de cana modificado com 3-aminopropiltrietoxisilano (BCS) apresentou menor sorção, 425 mg.g-1, o que foi atribuído à sua maior hidrofilicidade.Evaluation of natural and modified sugarcane bagasse as sorbent of vegetable oil Abstract: The oil and the residual vegetable fat, used for the preparation of foods represent a dangerous pollutant for the waters of streams and rivers. One of the most used methods in the last decades for cleaning the oily water is the application of biosorbents, since they are easy to remove and recover the oil. In this sense, the purpose of this work was to determine the influence of the modifications of sugarcane bagasse with acetic anhydride (acetylation) and with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (silanization) under sorption of vegetable oil. The BCN and the grafted products were further characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and analysis of surface area and porosity. The results showed higher sorption of vegetable oil for the acetic anhydride-modified sugarcane bagasse (BCA), 667 mg.g-1, followed by sugarcane bagasse without modification (BCN) with sorption of 576 mg.g-1. The cane bagasse modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (BCS) presented lower sorption, 425 mg.g-1, which was attributed to its greater hydrophilicity.

We successfully developed a facile synthetic way to 3D hollow HAp microspheres. We used Ca (NO3)2and (NH4)3PO4as materials, hyperbranched Gemini surfactant (PCD) as template.We used some techniques to characterize the products,such as X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FT-IR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Thermal gravimetric analysis (TG).The effects of the Gemini surfactant concentration on the morphology and crystal degree of the samples were analyzed.We proposed a possible growth of mechanism.The product morphology could vary from rod to hollow sphere by adjusting the template concentration.When the template concentration was low,ball-like hydroxyapatite preliminary formed.With increasing the template concentration,the crystal degree of products declined. While the spherical cluster composed of numbers of flake or needle architectures were appeared. The results show that when the mass fraction of template is 0.01%,we can product uniform well-defined hollow spherical hydroxyapatite with semidiameter about 1.5μm.

Calcium is an important element in the growth and development of plants and one form of calcium is calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate has been found in leaf seed, stem material plant tissue culture, fungi and lichen using one or more of the following methods—polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction.Two methods are presented here for qualitatively estimating calcium oxalate in dried or fixed tobacco (Nicotiana) leaf from different stalk positions using PLM. SEM, coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS), and powder x-ray diffraction were used to verify that the crystals observed in the dried leaf with PLM were calcium oxalate.

During hibernation the ground squirrel is immobile, body temperature reduced and metabolism depressed. Hibernation has been shown to affect dental tissues varying degrees, although not much work has been done in this area. In limited studies, it has been shown that hibernation results in (1) mobilization of bone minerals; (2) deficient dentinogenesis and degeneration of alveolar bone; (3) presence of calculus and tears in the cementum; and (4) aggrevation of caries and pulpal and apical tooth abscesses. The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of hibernation on dental tissues employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and related x-ray analyses.
