This research aimed to determine the physical properties and advantages of cement boards made from sago stem bark waste based on the test results of several parameters according to JIS A 5908 (2003) standard. The results showed that the physical properties of cement board from sago stem bark waste with the addition of the CaCl2 catalyst were good, with the average value of density ranged from 1.19-1.26 gr/cm³, water content 7,67-8,02%, and water absorption after immersion 2 hours 6,03-7.65% as well as after 24-hour immersion 11,62-12,91%, respectively. The averages swelling value of board thickness was 1.62-12,91% after immersion 2 hours and 1.40-3.41% after immersion 24 hours. Furthermore, what sago bark waste in various positions of the tree trunk (tree base, middle and top) can be utilized to manufacture cement board. The board made from sago stem bark waste at the base position with a catalyst CaCl2 6% has the best physical properties and meets JIS A 5908 (2003) standard. Cement board from sago stem bark waste has an excellent waterproof capability and can be used as outdoor materials.
This study examined the effects of moisture content (MC) on the manufacture of cement-bonded particleboard (CBP) using supercritical CO 2 in the curing process. Significant correlations were found between MC and the performance of CBP: the internal bond strength, modulus of rupture, and modulus of elasticity values of CBP achieved their maximums, when the MC of boards was approximately 30%. This finding indicated that during the curing phase of manufacturing CBP, a MC of about 30%, which is nearly equal to the water-cement (w/c) ratio of about 0.34, contributes to improved mechanical properties. However, the mechanical properties decreased when the MC was below 30%, which had a negative effect on board performance, indicating that carbon dioxide could not fully react and no carbonation occurred during the curing process. Maintaining a MC of approximately 30% as an ordinary condition of the cement required in the curing of CBP could promote the reaction of carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), which leads to increased final strength of CBP. Both X-ray diffractometry and thermal gravimetry observation agreed well with these results and clarified that the increase of CaCO 3 content caused by carbonation with increased MC of boards contributed to improving the mechanical properties of CBP.
Carbon stocks while amount of carbon stored on vegetation, other biomass and soil. Effort to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations at atmosphere (emissions) ito reduce CO2 into air. Amount of CO2 on air must be controlled by increasing of CO2 by plants as much as possible and reducing release of emissions as low as possible. Carbon stored reserves should be measured as attempt to carbon stocks in forest to decrease carbon emissions and adverse effects. Research do in September 2015 at parmanent sampling plot on 2012 at Soya included Mount Sirimau . Method of biomass and carbon stocks on Measurement and Calculation of Carbon Stock overall primary forests and secondary forests consist of 409. Total biomass content for For strata of primary forest biomass is 510 with 3590 tons / ha - 786.6950 tons / ha with average content of biomass at 640.4733 tons/ ha. .At secondary forest is 210.1608 tons / ha to 436.6976 tons / ha with 289.4509 tons / ha. Carbon-stored at primary forest is 239.9190 tons / ha to 369.0228 tons / ha with 301.1112 tons / ha. On secondary forest amount of carbon stored is 88.9805 tons / ha to 139.7868 tons / ha and 110.1785 tons / ha.
