2 TABLE I VARIATIONS IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE ACOUTIC CELL Office Paper (v f ) Rice Husk (v f ) 80% 20% 85% 15% 90% 10% PVA (w f ) (% of total OP+RH) 6, 8, 10% The steps in the manufacture of acoustic cell, the first paper that has been destroyed and then soaked in water with a ratio of 1:3, meaning 1 kg total weight (office paper particles and rice husk) mixed with 3 kg of a solution of PVA with various concentrations of 6, 8, and 10% It is intended to facilitate the mixing of the paper, PVA glue, and rice husk Mixing is done with a mixer so that office paper, rice husks and glue can be evenly mixed (homogeneous) on the surface of the paper grain and rice husk The printing process is done with a variety of compaction (compaction) 3:4, 4:4, and 5:4 Suppose the intended 5:4 compaction is mixing volume 125 times normal volume, will be pressed / compacted to 1 times the volume The acoustic cell manufacturing mechanism shown in Fig 1 Fig 3 Circuit diagram of the sound absorption coefficient measurement tool [1] C Macro photo Specimens/fiber without and with treatment, fiber surface morphology was observed using macro photo at different resolutions III RESULT AND DISCUSSION A Variations in the composition of office paper (OP): rice husk (RH) Variations in the composition of OP: RH is 80:20%, 85:15%, and 90:10%, permanent variation is 6% PVA, RH immersion (2 hours) in alkaline solution (NaOH 5%), compaction 4:4, and acoustic cell thickness 1 cm Test results of noise absorption in the most optimum composition of 80:20%, as shown in Figure 4 Fig 1 Mechanisms of acoustic cell manufacturing After molding cell acoustic complete, then molding the results of the cutting cylinder shaped, made a noise absorption test specimens Specimens measuring 30 mm in diameter with a thickness of 10, 15, 20 mm (as shown in Fig 2) were tested using 2 microphone impedance tube in accordance with ASTM E-1050, as shown in Fig 3 The test is performed in the laboratory of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Department of Physics UNS Fig 4 Curve of the noise absorption coefficient (α) on the variation of composition OP: RH Fig 2 Example of acoustic cell of noise absorption The curve shows the composition OP: RH (80:20) that the noise absorption coefficient (α) were increased significance due to an increase in the frequency of the sound, while the composition OP:RH others (85:15 and 90:10) noise of the absorption coefficient lower Therefore, the optimum composition OP: RH is 80:20 Macro photo shows that the greater the percentage of rice husk will give significance impact on increasing noise absorption coefficient (α) of acoustic cell specimens, as shown in Fig 5 Rice husks intact to form a new cavity in the specimen, which will enlarge the cavity noise absorption

3 concentration of adhesive (PVA) will bind strongly interface so that the porous particles are formed will be smaller, especially the porous formation of inter-particle office paper a OP:RH (80:20), macro b OP:RH (85:15), macro Porous Porous a PVA 6%, macro photo b PVA 8%, macro photo c OP:RH (90:10), macro Fig 5 Macro photo of porous on OP:RH variation B PVA variations PVA concentration variation was 6%, 8%, and 10% Fixed variable composition is OP: RH (80:20), soaking RH (2 hours) in a solution of alkali (NaOH 5%), 4:4 compaction, and acoustic cell thickness 1 cm Noise absorption test results the most optimum use of PVA as much as 6% of the weight (K + SP), as shown in Fig 6 c PVA 10%, macro Fig 7 Macro photo of porous on PVA variations C Variations soaking rice husk in alkali solution (NaOH 5%) Variations soaking rice husk in alkaline solution (NaOH 5%) is 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours Permanent variable is 6% PVAc, the composition K: SP (80:20), 4:4 compaction and acoustic cell thickness 1 cm Fig 8, the curve indicates that rice husk without soaking the alkali (0 hours) noise of the absorption coefficient (α) is better than the rice husks are experiencing immersion, thus in this variation is selected rice husk without alkali treatment (0 hours) Fig 6 Curve of noise absorption coefficient on the percentage PVA variation The curve shows that the specimen is given as much as 6% PVA, noise absorption coefficient (α) were increased significance as an increase in the frequency of the sound, while the concentration of PVA in 8% and 10%, noise absorption coefficient is lower Therefore, the percentage of PVA at a concentration of 6% gives the most optimal noise absorption PVA concentration will affect the value of absorption coefficient noisy, so if observed through macro photo (Fig 7) shows that 6% PVA concentration on the specimen surface is more porous than the greater concentration of PVA This happens due to the adhesiveness between the paper surface sesame and/or inter-surface paper with rice husk occurs less strong bond, so that the particles will form a porous, in addition to physical, when viewed overall greater Fig 8 Curve of noise absorption coefficient (α) on the variation of alkali soaking (NaOH 5%) rice husk D Compaction variations Compaction variations used in this research is 3:4, 4:4, and 5:4 Permanent variable is composition OP: RH (80:20), PVA 6%, without alkali soaking of rice husk alkali (0 hours), and the acoustic cell thickness 1 cm (Fig 10)

4 a Untreated, macro photo b 1 hours soaking, macro a Compaction (3:4), macro b Compaction (4:4), macro c 2 hours soaking, macro d 3 hours soaking, macro Fig 9 Macro photo of porous on alkali soaking of rice husk c Compaction (5:4), macro Fig 11 Macro photo of porous on specimen compaction variations Fig 10 Curve of noise absorption coefficient (α) on the variation of acoustic cell compaction In the same volume, but different in the womb will affect the particle density, so it has a 3:4 compaction porous greater than 4:4 and 5:4 compaction, as shown in Fig 11 Acoustic cell surface with 3:4 compaction looks so tenuous, and it is porous which can be entered by the frequency of the sound so that it will have an impact on the sound absorption coefficient (α) is higher than others E Acoustic cell thickness variations Variations in the thickness of the acoustic cell used in this research are 1, 15 and 2 cm Fixed variable composition: OP:RH (80:20), PVAC 6%, without alkali soaking of the rice husk (0 hours), and a 3:4 compaction Noise absorption curve on the specimen thickness variation suggests that the specimen thickness of 2 cm has better noise absorption value compared with other thickness (Fig 12), thus on the variation chosen is making specimens with a thickness of 2 cm Fig 12 Curve of noise absorption coefficient (α) on the variation of acoustic cell thickness A number of studies relating to the absorption of sound by using a porous material had been concluded that the absorption of low frequency sound has a direct relationship with the thickness [9] Noise absorption coefficient curve on the acoustic cell thickness of 2 cm showed that the absorption of sound at low frequencies can be absorbed by the absorption coefficient (α) of above 035 Meanwhile, if the observations were made by using a macro photograph (Fig 13), on the surface of the specimen showed pore density the same, because all three have remained the same variable at 3:4 compaction, except the acoustic cell thickness IV CONCLUSION The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of the acoustic cell of office paper - rice husk waste reinforced with PVA binder Results are summarized as follows: 1 The composition of acoustic cell optimal is office paper 80%, 20% rice husk, 6% PVA (OP + RH), without alkali soaking the rice husk (0 hours), 3:4 compaction, and a thickness of 2 cm The noise absorption coefficient (α) between 03-04;
