Fe2O3 has been the interest of many studies due to its applications in various scientific and industrial fields including in environment, corrosion, soil science, and exhaust emissions. Fe2O3 is a chemical mixture that can be applied as a catalyst to reduce exhaust emissions because it is capable of binding CO and HC contained in motorcycle exhaust gases The growth of motor vehicles results in air pollution and an increase in exhaust emissions consisting of 70.50% CO and 18.34% HC. One effort to reduce exhaust emission levels is by applying a catalytic converter to the exhaust system. This research was an experimental research aiming to investigate the difference in emission level of CO and HC between a motorcycle with and without a catalytic converter. The types of fuel used were RON 88, RON 90, RON 92, and RON 98. The results showed that the application of Fe2O3 as a catalyst could reduce the level of CO significantly in RON 88, i.e. 91.43% CO, and the level of HC in RON 88 and RON 92, i.e. 53.27% and 91.07% HC respectively.

Water is a natural resource that is essential for all living creatures. In addition, water also caused of disease affecting humans. The existence of one of heavy metal pollutants cadmium (Cd) in the body of water is an environmental problem having a negative impact on the quality of water resources. Adsorption is one of the ways or methods that are often used for the treatment of wastewater. Clay and allophanic soil were used as Cd adsorbent by batch method. Ceramic filter was used to reduce Cd concentration in the ground water. This study aims to determine the effect of the composition of clay and Allophane, activation temperature and contact time on the adsorption capacity of Cd in the model solution. The optimum adsorption condition and the effectiveness of drinking water treatment in accordance with Regulation of the Minister of Health using clay/Andisol adsorbents in ensnare heavy metals Cd and bacterial pathogens. Identification and characterization of adsorbent is done by using NaF, Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface area and total acidity specific. The Cd metal concentrations were analysed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Adsorption isotherms determined by Freundlich and Langmuir equations. Modified water purification technology using ceramic filters are made with a mixture of clay and Andisol composition. The results showed samples of clay and Andisol containing minerals. The optimum condition of adsorption was achieved at 200 °C of activation temperature, 60 minutes of contact time and the 60:40 of clay:Andisol adsorbent composition. Freundlich isotherm represented Cd adsorption on the clay/Andisol adsorbent with a coefficient of determination (R2=0.99) and constant (k=1.59), higher than Langmuir (R2=0.89). The measurement results show the water purification technology using ceramic filters effectively reduce E. coli bacterial and Cd content in the water.

Lead (Pb) were toxic. Lead found in pipes, batteries, paint, dyes ceramic glaze, gasoline, and final waste disposal. The robusta coffee grouds residues had high carbon, nitrogen etc which can adsorb heavy metal. The purpose of this study is to analyze the robusta coffee grounds residues to adsorb the Pb in the water. The method of this research is a True Experimental using completely randomized design (CRD) method. There were control groups (C) and three treatments groups (T1; T2;T3; 5gram/litre; 8gram/litre; 10gram/litre) with six repetitions. The robusta coffee ground residues were contacted for 2 hours. Total samples were 24 samples which analyzed each parameter of the Pb with Atomic Adsorption Spectophotometry Analysis. The results showed that the more coffee ground residues that are exposed, increasingly turbid. The KS test showed that data were a normal distribution (sig = 0,324). One way ANOVA test; Turkey post Hoc showed that there was sig difference between the control and treatment (F = 4,326, Sig = 0,017). There were sig difference between control and treatment 2 and 3 (Sig = 0,019; Sig = 0,038). Robusta coffee grounds residues can reuse to adsorb the Pb pollution in the water. It can be a solution for treating the lead pollution in the water because of it easy to the application.

Paper coating colors are non-Newtonian suspensions that are subjected to high shear rates during blade coating applications. The rheological behavior has been linked as a potential cause of runnability issues. There are several important factors that control the rheology of a suspension such as size distribution, aspect ratio, solids content, and other additives. However, there has not been a clear understanding of the interaction of these factors on the rheology given in the literature. Particle size analysis on five different pigments with a range of aspect ratios was completed using two different techniques. A new parameter, ω, was devised using the results from the particle size analysis data which was used to characterize the pigments. The maximum packing fraction for each of the pigments were determined by two different methods. The rheology was also examined for the pigments in the shear rate range of 2,000 to 23,000 s-1. Three viscosity-volume fraction equations were fit to the experimental data. The maximum packing fraction that fit the experimental results was different than the measured values. An analysis of the maximum packing fraction and the intrinsic viscosity was completed to demonstrate the dependence on shape factor, α, or the new parameter, ω. New expressions were developed to estimate the viscosity at 10,000 s-1 based upon the Krieger-Dougherty equation using the volume fraction, centrifuged packing fraction and either α or ω.

Global warming has become an important issue over the last few decades. One of the causes is the presence of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) which is emitted by human activities. Oil and gas production (drilling, work over, and refinery) for energy consume will be followed by the associated gas. The associated gas will be flared due to safety and non-economic reasons. The objectives of this study are reviewing the environmental impact and utilize technologies from flaring gas. The impact of flaring gas can lead to a decrease in human health, increased GHG, changing the plant metabolism, and decrease the production of agricultural crops. Due to these, there are some technologies to reduce flaring such as: reinjection (EOR activities), PNG, LPG, LNG, CNG, NGH, GTE, and GTL. The flare gas recovery is expected to obtain the lower value of GHG in the air and as one of the clean development mechanism (CDM) practices with a rethink, reuse, reduce, recovery, and recycle principle.
