"ABSTRACTIn order to shorten the measurement time of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), a BOD sensor based on yeast metabolism was developed. Local yeast, Indonesian Origin, Candida fukuyamaensis UICC Y-247, was used as a transducer. The yeast was immobilized as a thin film in agarose matrix with the auxiliary of Nafion® acting as the membrane for ion exchange process. The film was then attached to gold-modified glassy carbons and used as transducer on the working electrodes. The measurements were conducted by observing the depletion of glucose concentration using multipulse amperometric method and then converted to BOD values. Optimum condition was observed in a waiting measurement time of 30 min at an applied potential of 450 mV (vs.Ag/AgCl). Linearity was shown in glucose concentration range of 0.1?0.5 mM, which was equivalent to BOD concentration range of 10?50 mg/L. A detection limit of 1.13 mg/L BOD could be achieved. Good repeatability was shown by a relative standard deviation (RSD) of2.7% (n = 15). However, decreasing current response of ~50% was found after 3 days. Comparing to the conventional BOD measurement, this BOD sensor can be used as an alternative method for BOD measurements. "

"A hand and foot contamination monitor is a health physics instrument to provide detection and measurement of beta-gamma contamination on the palm of each hand and on the bottom surface of both feet/shoes. There are four channels of detection for two hands and two feet. Four G-M detectors have been used in a single unit to cover the whole area of hand and feet. A regulated high voltage DC power supply (900 V) has been designed using the PIC12F675 microcontroller to operate the pancake Geiger-Müller detectors. The reading is displayed on a linearly scaled 0-100 Bq/cm2 analog panel meter. The monitor detects beta–gamma radiation emitted by radioactive materials, and if the detected value exceeds a preset level, the monitor sounds an alarm and displays a reading in the respective panel meter. Indicator lamps are used to show the status of contamination. The performance of the system has been tested by using pulse generator and by flat surface radioactive calibration sources. Electronic linearity, detection efficiency, response to the contamination, calibration factor and percentage of error has been measured. Test results were satisfactory and the present system can be used instead of similar imported instruments"

"Measurement of vapor flow in geothermal pipe faces great challenges due to fast fluids flow in high-temperature and high-pressure environment. In present study the flow rate measurement has been performed to characterization the geothermal vapor flow in a pipe. The experiment was carried out in a pipe which is connected to a geothermal production well, KMJ-14. The pipe has a 10” outside diameter and contains dry vapor at a pressure of 8 kg/cm2 and a temperature of 170 oC. Krypton-85 gas isotope (85Kr) has been injected into the pipe. Three collimated radiation detectors positioned respectively at 127, 177 and 227m from injection point were used to obtain experimental data which represent radiotracer residence time distribution (RTD) in the pipe. The last detector at the position of 227 m did not respond, which might be due to problems in cable connections. Flow properties calculated using mean residence time (MRT) shows that the flow rate of the vapor in pipe is 10.98 m/s, much faster than fluid flow commonly found in various industrial process plants. Best fitting evaluated using dedicated software developed by IAEA expert obtained the Péclet number Pe as 223. This means that the flow of vapor of geothermal fluids in pipe is plug flow in character. The molecular diffusion coefficient is 0.45 m2/s, calculated from the axial dispersion model"

"Material untuk penyerapan fosfat secara selektif disintesis menggunakan metode ion imprinted polymer, dengan kitosan sebagai bahan dasar utama. Untuk meningkatkan daya adsorpsi kitosan, maka dilakukan modifikasi kitosan menggunakan anhidrida suksinat, yang kemudian dikomplekskan dengan Fe(III). Fe(III)-kitosan suksinat dikontakkan dengan fosfat sehingga terbentuk kompleks cetakan-polimer, yang selanjutnya diikat silang menggunakan MBA untuk menstabilkan situs aktif yang terbentuk. Cetakan kemudian dielusi menggunakan KOH 1,0 M, dengan tujuan terbentuknya rongga bagi masuknya ion fosfat. Keberhasilan sintesis IIP terkonfirmasi menggunakan FTIR dimana terjadi penambahan puncak serapan gugus baru, yaitu karbonil (1750-1600 cm-1), amida (1600-1500 cm-1), fosfat (1100-1000 cm-1), dan ikatan Fe-O (650-400 cm-1). Selain itu, meningkatnya Tm pada hasil DSC menunjukkan adanya penambahan ikatan dan mengindikasikan keberhasilan sintesis, sehingga modifikasi kitosan ini menghasilkan naiknya sifat kestabilan termal yang dibuktikan dengan hasil pengamatan TGA dimana pada rentang suhu yang sama (30-500°C), material baru belum terdekomposisi sempurna. Hasil karakterisasi dengan SEM-EDX menunjukkan bahwa pengompleksan dan pengelusian fosfat berhasil dilakukan, dimana terkonfirmasi dengan munculnya unsur Fe dan P dan berkurangnya persen atom P setelah dilakukan elusi. Adsorben yang disintesis diuji sifat adsorpsi serta elusinya, dan diperoleh persen adsorpsi sebesar 87.55% dan persen elusi sebesar 85.1%. Nilai tersebut menunjukkan bahwa adsorben dapat menyerap fosfat dengan baik dan fosfat yang sudah teradsorpsi dapat dilepaskan kembali menggunakan basa.

Material for selective phosphate adsorption was synthesized using ion imprinted polymer method, with chitosan as the raw material. In order to increase the adsorption ability of chitosan, chitosan has been modified using succinic anhydride to form chitosan-succinate, subsequently formed complex using Fe(III). Phosphate was added to Fe(III)-chitosan succinate to form template-polymer complex, then it was cross-linked by using MBA. Moreover, the template was leached using KOH 1,0 M to form the cavity for phosphate ion.

The result of IIP was confirmed using FTIR which occur new absorption peaks of functional groups, such as carbonyl (1750-1600 cm-1), amide (1600-1500 cm-1), phosphate (1100-1000 cm-1), and Fe-O bond (650-400 cm-1). In addition, the increased of Tm on the DSC result showed there was some addition of bonds and indicate the success of synthesis, so that the modification of chitosan increases the thermal properties. It was proven furthermore by TGA thermogram in which at the same temperatur range (30-500°C), the new material not decomposited at all.

SEM-EDX data showed that the complexation and leaching process were success, which confirmed by measuring the Fe and P elements, also the P element atomic percent was decrease after leaching. The synthesized adsorbent was tested the adsorption and desorption properties, and the percent adsorption was 87.55% and percent desorption was 85.1%. These values indicate that the adsorbent can adsorbs phosphate well, and the phosphate can be released using base."
