Abstract:
Graphene Oxide is a material that has a thickness of one atom composed of carbon atoms to form a hexagonal lattice and a material that has unique properties, namely mechanical, optical, thermal, and electrical properties. Fe2O3 is a material that has magnetic properties and can be used for various applications such as enzyme separation, drug transport, microwave absorption, photocatalysts, biological applications, biomedicine, metal separation, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this study, the addition of graphene oxide was carried out using the coprecipitation method on Fe2O3 nanomaterials that had been treated with sintering and non-sintering. The coprecipitation method is the synthesis of inorganic compounds which is based on the deposition of more than one substance together when it passes the saturation point. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the addition of graphene oxide to the Fe2O3 material can increase the magnetic properties of the Fe2O3 material or vice versa. The result was that the sintering treatment on Fe2O3 GO did not have a transforming effect on its magnetic properties, but instead had a changing effect on its magnetic value. However, the magnetic coercivity value of Fe2O3 + GO 700 ºC increased to 0.038 Tesla. Thus, it can be concluded that at a temperature of 700 °C graphene oxide acts as a barrier from external magnetic fields in the opposite direction.

Abstract:
Corrosion engineering has taken great interest in many industries that required high cost management to overcome the serious problems. This work has investigated the role of watermelon peel extract as green inhibitor to protect carbon steel in seawater. This investigation has studied the corrosion rate and inhibition efficiency applying weight loss method. The laboratory result shows the optimum inhibition efficiency found to be 71.64% at 5% inhibitor concentration in 100 ml seawater at room temperature. The effects of temperature and immersion time on inhibition efficiency have also been examined. This study has used Arrhenius equation based on activation energy to determine type of adsorption encountered with corrosion process. The result shows a chemical adsorption justified by its high adsorption heat and strengthened by FTIR and UV-Vis examinations. The phytochemical examination of watermelon peel extract gives positive response to flavonoid, alkaloid, and saponin. The finding is useful for many industries encountered with carbon steel corrosion in corrosive medium using green inhibitor.

Abstract:
Introduction: Gas stations (SPBU in Indonesia) have the potency for fire and explosion hazards due to the storage and distribution of flammable liquids, one of which is Pertamax. This can be a non-military threat in the dimension of public safety because if it occurs, the resulting loss could be very large in terms of material or life. This study aims to determine the risk of fire and explosion at Indonesian gas station. Methods: The risk assessment method used is the Dow's Fire and Explosion Index in a simulated case. Results: The potential for fire and explosion or the value of the Fire Explosion Index (F&EI) in the simulated case is 110,828. The exposure radius is 28,39 m and the damage factor to the Pertamax storage tank is 63%. The large area of the Exposure is 24 m2 with an area of 96 m3 of the bunker building volume. The value of the loss suffered by the company in the event of a fire and explosion in the Pertamax tank is Rp. 403.908.076,97. Conclusion: The results of the study have a risk level that is classified as Intermediate, so it is necessary to control risks such as increasing active protection and is expected to be an input in efforts to safeguard against non-military threats so as to reduce the impact of risks and losses that occur in the Pertamax storage tank.

Abstract:
In this research, a solid Cu/CuSO4 reference electrode has been developed. In this development process, the Cu/CuSO4 solid reference electrode provided consists of two types, namely the Cu/CuSO4 I solid reference electrode (ERP Cu/CuSO4 I) and the Cu/CuSO4 II solid reference electrode (ERP Cu/CuSO4 II). ERP Cu/CuSO4 I was prepared using two layers, namely the Cu/CuSO4 layer and the cellulose acetate layer which were placed sequentially on the surface of the planar type Cu electrode. Meanwhile, ERP Cu/CuSO4 II was prepared using three layers, namely a layer of cotton fiber/cellulose acetate, a layer of Cu/CuSO4, and a layer of cotton/cellulose acetate placed in sequence on the surface of the planar type Cu electrode, where the CuSO4 layer is between the two layers of cotton/cellulose acetate. Both types of Cu/CuSO4 solid reference electrodes were characterized by testing DmV in various concentrations of KCl solution and ERP Cu/CuSO4 II has been produced as the best reference electrode for Cu/CuSO4 solids with a DmV value of 3.3 mV. Furthermore, ERP Cu/CuSO4 II was selected for characterization using cyclic voltammetry (CV) testing, response vs Cl sensor testing, and drif testing. In CV testing, ERP Cu/CuSO4 provides a voltammogram graph pattern similar to the Ag/AgCl reference electrode as a commercial reference electrode. Meanwhile, in testing the response vs sensor Cl, ERP Cu/CuSO4 II gave a Nernstian number value of -50.1 mV/decade with a test range of 0.1-10-3 M. ERP Cu/CuSO4 II showed fairly good stability, namely with a drift value of 0.46 mV/minute which is achieved after the conditioning process after 12 minutes.

Abstract:
Steel is one of materials which often used on steel construction, bridge construction, and high rise building construction. Construction using welding joint is expected able to withstand construction loads for a long time. After a while weldment will be exposed to corrosion that will be construction failure in turn. One of the most important parameter in welding is heat input, however it hasn’t obtain correlation between heat input and corrosion rate on MMA (Manual Metal Arch) weldment on mild steel. This paper aims to obtain correlation between heat input and corrosion rate of low carbon steel with MMA welding. The result was show that corrosion rate tend to decrease with adding of duration, where higher corrosion rate at heat input 0,8108 kJ/mm was 68,68 gm/m2 hr at duration 5 hour.
