This research investigates the synthesis and preliminary characterization of activated carbon biosorbents derived from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB), enhanced with alumina (Al₂O₃) and chitosan. The OPEFB biomass was carbonized at 600°C in an anaerobic environment and processed to achieve a uniform particle size of 200 mesh. SEM characterization revealed non-uniform particle distribution and agglomeration, which impacted pore development. FTIR analysis identified functional groups like silanol, hydroxide, and siloxane, demonstrating the material's adsorption potential. BET analysis indicated a specific surface area of 6.177 m²/g and a pore volume of 1.567 cm³/g. Despite the relatively modest surface area, these results provide a basis for further improvements, such as optimizing pore structure and adsorption capabilities. The study underscores the potential of alumina-chitosan modified OPEFB-based activated carbon as an efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable approach for AMD remediation, particularly for Fe removal.</span></em></div> Saisa Elvitriana Zulhaini Sartika Erdiwansyah Copyright (c) 2025 Saisa, Elvitriana, Zulhaini Sartika, Erdiwansyah 2025-02-01 2025-02-01 7 2 220 224 10.32672/picmr.v7i2.3037 Analysis of Grashof Number in Large-Scale Passive Cooling Systems Based on Temperature Changes https://jurnal.serambimekkah.ac.id/index.php/icmr/article/view/3039 <div><em><span lang="EN-US">This study investigates the Grashof number calculation in large-scale passive cooling systems, focusing on temperature-induced changes. The research utilizes the FASSIP-02 test loop, a second-generation facility for passive cooling systems, to analyze natural circulation flow. Experiments were conducted by heating a Water Heating Tank (WHT) to various temperatures (50-90°C) and maintaining steady-state conditions for five hours. Flow rates and Reynolds numbers were measured and calculated, revealing a turbulent flow regime across all temperature settings. The Grashof number was then calculated and correlated with the Reynolds number to establish a relationship specific to the FASSIP-02 test loop. Results showed Grashof numbers ranging from 4.93 x 10<sup>12</sup> to 1.64 x 10<sup>13</sup>, confirming turbulent flow. The correlation between Reynolds and Grashof numbers was determined to be Re = 0.1356(Gr<sub>m</sub>/N<sub>G</sub>)<sup> 0.31</sup>, with R² = 0.9952. This correlation closely aligns with previous research on turbulent flow in natural circulation systems, with slight variations attributed to differences in measurement precision. The study contributes to understanding passive cooling system behavior in nuclear reactors, particularly for residual heat removal during accidents or shutdowns.</span></em></div> Andrea Shevaladze Deendarlianto Esa Putra Putut Heri Setiawan Hyundianto Arif Gunawan Mulya Juarsa Copyright (c) 2025 Andrea Shevaladze, Deendarlianto, Esa Putra, Putut Heri Setiawan, Hyundianto Arif Gunawan, Mulya Juarsa 2025-02-03 2025-02-03 7 2 225 234 10.32672/picmr.v7i2.3039 The Role of Entrepreneurship in Advancing the Acehnese Traditional Cake Industry for Long-Term Profitability https://jurnal.serambimekkah.ac.id/index.php/icmr/article/view/3055 <p><em>This article explores the role of entrepreneurship in advancing the Acehnese traditional cake industry, focusing on long-term profitability and sustainability.

The research aims to determine the optimal Ti content to maximize conductivity while maintaining structural integrity. A series of samples were prepared with varying Ti concentrations (10–95 wt%), using controlled weighing, mixing, compression molding, and electrical conductivity testing methods. Results showed that conductivity increased significantly with higher Ti content, reaching a maximum value of 1.05 × 10 S/cm at 90 wt% Ti. This corresponds to the percolation threshold, where Ti particles form a continuous network enabling effective electron transfer. Beyond this threshold, conductivity declined sharply due to reduced binder content, leading to weak particle bonding and brittleness. These findings underscore the critical balance between filler concentration and binder properties for optimal performance. The study concludes that PP+Ti composites with 90 wt% Ti are promising for applications in electronics and energy systems, such as fuel cell bipolar plates, but highlight the need for further research on mechanical optimization. This work advances the understanding of conductive polymer composites and supports their potential in industrial and engineering applications.</em></p> Mohd Suri Saringat Muhammad Hafiz Kamarudin Hairman Omar Copyright (c) 2025 Mohd Suri Saringat, Muhammad Hafiz Kamarudin, Hairman Omar 2025-02-07 2025-02-07 7 2 294 299 10.32672/picmr.v7i2.3066 Systematic Literature Review: Students' Mathematical Representation Ability in Solving Mathematical Problems https://jurnal.serambimekkah.ac.id/index.php/icmr/article/view/3081 <p><em>This study was motivated by the lack of students' ability to understand mathematics through mathematical representation skills.
