Reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-copper oxide nanocomposites were prepared by covalent grafting of CuO nanorods on the rGO skeleton. The chemical and structural features of rGO-CuO nanocomposites were studied by FTIR, XPS, XRD and HRTEM analyses. Photocatalytic potential of rGO-CuO nanocomposites was explored for reduction of CO2 into the methanol under visible light irradiation. The breadth of CuO nanorods and the oxidation state of Cu in rGO-CuO/Cu2O nanocomposites were systematically varied to investigate their porosity and photocatalytic activities. The pristine CuO nanorods exhibited very low activity because of fast recombination of charge carriers and yielded methanol only 175 µmol g-1, whereas rGO-Cu2O and rGO-CuO exhibited significantly improved photocatalytic activities and yielded five (862 µmol g-1) and seven (1228 µmol g-1) times more methanol, respectively. The superior photocatalytic activities of CuO in rGO-CuO nanocomposites were attributed to the slow recombination of charge carriers and efficient transfer of photo-generated electrons through the rGO skeleton. This study further excludes the use of scavenging donor.

Biomarker analysis was conducted on shale samples belonging to the Cretaceous Nkporo sediments of the Afikpo Basin in southeastern Nigeria to determine the distribution of n-alkanes, pristane and phytane ratios (Pr/Ph), odd-over-even preference (OEP), carbon preference index (CPI), transformation ratios. These parameters revealed the source, depositional conditions and maturity of the organic matter. Ts/Ts + Tm values of 0.9 to 0.12 and moretane/hopane ratio of 0.33 to 0.35 indicate shales are thermally immature to marginally mature. The presence of long-chain aliphatics (C19-35) in the shale matrix suggests shale can atleastgenerate oil and gas. Data show high Pristane/Phytane (Pr/Ph) values and preeminence of intermediate molecular weight n-alkanes (nC12 - nC33). The predominance of Pr against Ph suggests humic, toxic to dysaerobic organic matter origin. Distributed n-alkane patterns of gas chromatograms are non-unimodal with varying peaks. They show maximal between nC12 - nC33 with no remarkable protrusion, indicating slight or no organic matter alteration. The prevalence of OEP values (0.23 -2.10) and CPI values ranging from 1.09 and 1.61 with average oxygen indexes of 53.33mgHC/gTOC suggests donation from mostly terrestrial organic matter poor in hydroxl groups.

Optimization of Coal Blending to Reduce Production Cost and Increase Energy E...inventionjournals
The productivity level of the electricity production is an important indicator in the power plant efficiency. A chase study in this research was choosen at coal power plant PT PJB UP Paiton which is the productivity level of the generated electricity decreases until below the production target level. It due to several factors such as quality of coal and plant design. Depletion of coal heating value (low rank coal) reduce total amount of enerated heat in boiler and finally increase unburned carbon, plant inefficiency, as well as the high production cost. On the other hand, utilizing the high rank coal cause more expensive price. Therefore, the optimiation of coal blending to obtain more plant efficiency and lower production cost is required. This research focus on optimization of low and high rank coal blending that can decrease the production cost and increase plat efficiency. The blending model was built by utilizing Finite Impulse Response Neural Network (FIR-NN) and variable selection is perform using Priciple Component Analys is (PCA) and Partial Least Square (PLS). The result of optimization resulted a decreasing the production cost up to 342 IDR/kWh.

Abstract
Prospective studies developed in the Area of the Marañón Basin in Perú show us a type of so-called
Complex Regional Geology of the Marañón consisting of metal ores of copper, silver, gold schist and
gneiss in contact with intrusive, as well as minerals nickel, cobalt, titanium, platinum, among others. The
sample was collected on the hill OSHNO which is located in the District of Chavín de Pariarca,
Huamalies Province, Region Huanuco, Peru. The analysis by X-ray diffraction of the sample OSHNO
indicates the presence of the lepidocrocite (-FeOOH) and goethite (-FeOOH). The Mössbauer spectrum
(EM) at room temperature for OSHNO measure at high velocity does not show a magnetic component but
shows a double widening, proceeding to measure at low velocity. A good fit spectrum include the
presence of two doublets. The first doublet has hyperfine parameters of IS=0.367mm/s, DQ=0.51mm/s
and =0.37mm/s and corresponds to the presence of the lepidocrocite and the second doublet has a
IS=0.366mm/s, DQ=0.48mm/s and =0.98mm/s, the line width is widened and corresponds to smaller
particles of hydroxides than 100Å in superparamagnetic state. The EM at the temperature of liquid helium
shows a sextet of line width widened and was fitted with a distribution of fields confirming the presence
of goethite and lepidocrocite (with magnetic field average of 49.32T and 44.0T respectively). Chemical
analysis indicated the presence of Cu, Zn, As, Mn and Ba as major elements and Cr, V, W, Sr, Cd, Co,
Ag, La, Sc, Sn, Fe and Ni as minor elements. The sample of OSHNO as metallic powder grain is of interest
to small and medium steel industry.
Keywords: Goethite, Lepidocrocite, Mössbauer Spectroscopy.
1. Introduction
The studied area corresponds to the Marañón Basin in Peru, showing a kind of Regional
Geology named Complejo Marañón, consisting of metal minerals such as Copper, Silver
and Gold in schists (which are rocks that can be easily split in thin layers), consisting of a
group of medium-grade metamorphic rocks mainly prominent for the preponderance of
laminate minerals such as mica, chlorite, talc, hornblende, graphite, and others in contact
with intrusions, as well as with other nickel, cobalt, titanium, platinum minerals, among
others.
The sample was collected at the OSHNO hill, which is located in the Chavin de Pariarca
District, Province of Huamalies, Huanuco Region, Peru, as described on the maps in
Figures 1 and 2, where the sample minted is shown. The characterization of minerals of
this area is made by Instrumental Techniques: Optical Microscope, Mössbauer
spectroscopy Analysis, Multi-elemental Chemical analysis, allow us to check the
presence of metalic minerals in the Marañón Complex, as well as the presence of Iron
oxide with a magnetization grade that indicates the presence of metals in areas where
samples were taken from.
The metallurgy tests carried out indicate a good metallurgy recovery of concentrate
obtained of Chalcopyrite mineral, which means a good economic possibility for the
Marañón Basin [1].

2. Experimental
In the Laboratory of Extractive Metallurgy - UNMSM proceeded to develop metallurgical
processes and operations commissioned: crushing, grinding and sifting to take a size
suitable for the chemical and physical characterization.
3. The X-ray powder diffraction patterns were recorded on BRUKER D8 Focus using a
monocromador of graphite and using Cu-K1,2 radiations (=1.5460 Å) in the range 8º to
80º with step 0.02º. The chemical composition was determined by inductively couples
plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) using the method ICP-40B that consist
in multi-acid (4 acid) digestions that is a combination of HCl (hydrochloric acid), HNO3
(nitric acid), HF (hydrofluoric acid) and HClO4 (perchloric acid). Because hydrofluoric
acid breaks down silicates, these digestions are often referred to as “near- total
digestions”. There can be a loss of volatiles during digestion (e.g. B, As, Pb, Ge, Sb).
Multi-acid digestion is a very effective dissolution procedure for a large number of
mineral species and is suitable for a wide range of elements.
Mössbauer spectra were recorded in transmission geometry using a constant acceleration
spectrometer and a 512 multichannel analyser. The source is a 57Co in Rh matrix. Spectra
were recorded on all samples at 300K. Isomer shifts are given relative to the centroid of
the spectrum of an absorbedor of -Fe at room temperature. Spectra were analysed by
least-squares fits using lorentzian line shape. All fitting procedures were performed with
the NORMOS program [2].
3. Results and discussion

3.3 Mössbauer spectroscopy
The Mössbauer spectrum (ME) at room temperature of the sample from hill OSHNO at
high velocity does not shows any magnetic component but show a broadened doublet,
proceeding to measure at low velocity (Figure 3). A good fit spectrum include the
presence of two doublets. The first doublet have hyperfine parameters of IS=0.367mm/s,
DQ=0.51mm/s and =0.37mm/s and corresponds to the presence of the lepidocrocite [3]
and the second doublet has IS=0.366mm/s, DQ=0.98mm/s and =0.48mm/s and the line
width widened and corresponds to particles of oxides or hydroxides lower than 100Å in
superparamagnetic state. See table number 2.
