The DD% and FTIR results confirmed the complete conversion of cellu-lose acetate from cigarette butts to cellulose within 15 minutes. Cellulose morphology under SEM showed the surface became rougher and textured after autoclave treatment. The results of autoclave-assisted deacetylation are comparable with the conventional deacetylation. Our rapid method offers substantially reduced deacetylation from 24 hours to just 15 minutes.

Self-cleaning material is a material that utilizes the photocatalytic property to degrade organic and inorganic compounds with the help of UV light. One of the materials that have good photocatalytic property is TiO2, the photocatalytic property causes TiO2 to be amphiphilic: becomes hydrophilic when there is light and becomes hydrophobic when there is no light. The photocatalytic property of TiO2 can be improved with the addition of buffer material such as SiO2. TiO2SiO2 nanoparticle was synthesized using a sol-gel method with Titanium (IV) Isopropoxide (TTIP) precursors for TiO2 and Tetraethyl Orthosilicate (TEOS) precursors for SiO2 and followed by a variation of calcination temperature of 400 °C, 450 °C, 500 °C, and 550 °C for 2 hours. TiO2SiO2 composite was synthesized using composition TiO2 sol 75% and SiO2 25%. The result of the synthesis TiO2SiO2 composite was characterized by Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) instrument to determine the functional groups in the composites and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) instruments to determine the phase, crystallite size and degree of crystallinity in the composite. The purpose of this research is to synthesized TiO2SiO2 nanoparticle as a self cleaning agent with variation of the calcination temperature, to obtain composite characteristics that can support self cleaning. The self-cleaning ability was based on a produced composite characteristic of TiO2SiO2.

Waste printed circuit boards (WPCB) are among the most valuable parts of electronic waste with one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of WPCB powder as an alternative reducing agent for the carbothermic process in nickel lateritic ore processing. WPCB waste was mixed with nickel ore at 1100ÚC in inert atmosphere. In addition, a conventional reductant of coal is also utilized for comparison. Both reductant are varied in concentration of 5 wt% and 15 wt%. Based on thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTA) investigation, it is observed that there exists a difference between WPCB powder, nickeliferous ore powder, and the mixture in their decomposed levels. The decomposed gasses of WPCB produced by thermal degradation in the TGA instrument are mainly composed of reduction gas, which plays a critical role in reducing the nickeliferous ore. This study shows that WPCB powder performs comparably to sub-bituminous coal in the pyrometallurgical processing of nickel ore, which is proved by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) test results that the carbothermic products consists of FeNi, magnetite, wustite and fayalite.
