Membrane separation technology has been widely applied in various industrial sectors. Some modification on membrane composition and structure is conducted to improve membrane filtration performance and mitigate fouling phenomena. Fouling on membrane surfaces lead to decrease permeabilty, increase energy consumtion, and shorten membrane life time. The aim of this study is to manufacture PES membrane which involved inorganic additives consits of Carbon and Fe2O3 particles to mitigate fouling tendency. All of membranes were prepared using phase inversion method with dissolving PES polymer into dimethyl formamide (DMF). The result membranes were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to investigate morphological structure and breaking strength to determine mechanical property. Membrane filtration performance were tested using soy protein solution in cross-flow system. The results showed that the addition of inorganic particles in PES membrane caused the increasing of pores which lead to increase pure water flux from 15.14 L/m2.h to 58.67 L/m2.h. Fouling mitigation test towards soy protein also showed that carbon and Fe2O3 particles enhanced membrane flux recovery ratio from 64.5 to 76%. Furthermore, the inorganic particles presence in PES membrane also improved the tensile strength of membrane up to 128 Mpa.

This preliminary study presents a theoretical and experimental investigation on the absorption of CO2 into KOH solution. The study provides variation of KOH concentrations at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 N. The value of pH was observed for each increment of sample volume. The absorbed CO2 was measured by applying titration. The amounts of CO2 resulted from every provided KOH concentration were respectively 0.0075, 0.0075, 0.0232, 0.0305, and 0.0395 mol. The results reveal an increase in absorbed CO2 with each increment of KOH concentration. The absorption efficiency values of each KOH concentration were 0.3750, 0.4000, 0.3861, 0.3813, and 0.3950 mol total CO2/mol KOH, respectively. The difference values of experimental and theoretical absorbed CO2 may be caused by the formation of other compounds.

Membrane separation technology has been extensively applied in separation processes. Improving membrane hydrophilicity plays a significant role in mitigating fouling phenomena and maintain membrane filtration performance. Fouling is a pore blockage of the membrane due to the interaction between hydrophobic molecules and membrane surface that cause membrane flux declining, shorter membranedurability, and increasing energy consumption. Incorporating inorganic particles to enhance membrane hydrophilicity is very attractive nowadays. Inorganic particles have unique characters due to their small size, excellent mechanical properties, and hydrophilic nature. This research aims to improve PES membrane filtration performances by employing nanocarbon and Fe2O3 as an inorganic additive. The membrane manufacturing process was carried out using a phaseinversionmethod., especially non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS). The resulted membranes were analyzed by filtration soy protein solution to evaluate protein permeation flux and flux recovery ratio (FRR). The result experiments showed that PES/Nanocarbon could provide the highest FRR of up to 76.46%.

Optimization of the comparison between the AquaLight LLT cocktail and an aqueous sample had been carried out. AquaLight LLT cocktail was mixed with aqueous sample. The variation ratio between the aquaLight cocktail and the sample

One way to detect the presence of the White Spot Syndrome Virus in several organs Vaname shrimp(Litopenaeus vannamei) were infected with the method of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). WSSV virus isknown to attack various target organs, but it is difficult to detect early on shrimp. Therefore, this study aims todetect the presence of the distribution of White Spot Syndrome Virus in several organs Vaname shrimp(Litopenaeus vannamei) were infected with the Polymerase Chain Reaction method in order to early detectionefforts for the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by the virus. Organ observed that the swimming legs,gills, stomach and antennal gland. Research stages include sample preparation and DNA extraction, DNAamplification and electrophoresis. DNA extraction was performed using the method DTAB and CTAB-DNAamplification is done by using nested PCR. The emergence of DNA bands is an indicator of the presence ofWSSV in shrimp Vaname several organs which are then presented desktriptif. The results showed four WSSVinfected organs were observed. Based on the appearance, the entire sample of the swimming leg and antennalgland positively infected, then successively gills and stomach. The swimming leg can be used to diagnose thedisease early on shrimp WSSV Vaname without turning off the shrimp.Keywords : Distribution, Vanname shrimp, WSSV, PCR
