Betel leaf is a typical Indonesian herbal plant that propagates on other tree trunks. So far, betel leaf has only been used in biomedicine and traditional medicine, whereas the chemical compounds of betel leaf can be used to absorb electromagnetic waves. In this mini-review, we review several research results to discuss the potential effectiveness of betel leaf in barium hexaferrite as an absorber of electromagnetic radiation. We compiled this mini-review based on the literature review method that is discussed extensively and in-depth regarding the chemical composition of betel leaf, modification of the development of barium hexaferrite material with betel leaf media extract, characteristics of BaFe12O19 as absorption of electromagnetic waves, and the effectiveness of media extracts in BaFe12O19 as absorption of electromagnetic waves. Based on the results of the literature review, the modification of BaFe12O19 material synthesis can include microemulsion, solid-state, coprecipitation, sol-gel, and hydrothermal synthesis. So far, hydrothermal synthesis is a synthesis method of mixing betel leaf extract media and ferrite-based magnets that have been studied before. Betel leaf in ferrite-based magnetic materials has been studied not to damage the surface morphology and characteristics of the magnetic material. The results of the assessment also show the effectiveness of adding other elements or compounds such as Ni, Al2O3, and composites in ferrite-based magnetic materials that can absorb more than 90% of electromagnetic waves in the frequency range 2-18 GHz.
The existence of water on earth is very abundant and has a vital role in the source of life for every living creature. In managing water resources, pollution is one of the issues world researchers face. This article reviews the characteristics and methods of synthesizing Fe2O3 and SiO2 materials to prevent water pollution. The strategies administrated antecedently square measure vapor deposition, microemulsion, solvothermal, coprecipitation, sol-gel, and hydrothermal. The formation of fine quality nanoparticles with controlled size associate degreed size distribution square measure typically achieved by selecting an applicable solvent mixture and varied parameters like temperature, pressure, and time interval.
This study was conducted to synthesize Fe (III)-IIPs by free radical polymerization using the cooling-heating method. Cooling processat -5◦C for 1 hour, as well as heating at 75◦C, 80◦C, and 85◦C maintained for 3 hours, 2 hours and 1 hour, respectively. The Fe (III)-IIPs synthesis process involved Fe(NO3)3 with an average diameter of 18.23 nm, methacrylic acid (MAA), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and ethanol, each of which plays a role as an analyte, functional monomer, cross-linker, initiator, and porogen. The result of the polymerization process was a polymer containing ions namely Fe(III) polymer. The ions need to be removed by the extraction process to produce Fe(III)-IIPs, which act as absorbents. Furthermore, the extraction process is very influential in the process of losing ions and the formation of cavities or templates in the polymer body. The number of cavities formed tends to affect the ability of Fe(III)-IIPs to identify the target ion which has similar physical and chemical properties to the shape of the Fe(III)-IIPs cavity. The extraction process was carried out on Fe(III) polymer samples using HCl and HNO3 solutions with varying concentrations of 3 M and 6 M, respectively. The transmission percentage of FTIR analysis showed that for samples of Fe(III)-IIPs HCl 3 M and 6 M were 94.258% and 95.666%, while for Fe(III)-IIPs HNO3 3 M and 6 M were 92.735%, respectively. The largest percentage was shown in the 6 M HCl IIPs sample, which indicated that there were several ions lost from the polymer body after the extraction process. This is also reinforced by the results of the SEM analysis processed with Matlab, which showed 498 cavities with a distribution of voids on a scale of <100 nm, totaling 470.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
