The dominance of coal-based energy use in Indonesia contributes significantly to environmental The decreasing availability of clean water due to population growth and environmental pollution has driven the development of more efficient water treatment technologies. One promising technology is the use of polymer-based membranes. This study aims to analyze the morphological characteristics, mecha…
This research aims to develop a membrane using a mixture of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) and analyze the durability of the membrane through surface modification using the Electric Field method. This research also aims to analyze the microstructure of the membrane formed, identify the flux in the Clean Water Permeability (CWP) test, and analyze the tensile stress in…
In this research, Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) with the addition of the additive Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) was prepared with 3 different concentrations, 17.5wt%, 20wt%, and 22.5wt%. The formation of the PVDF @ TiO2 membrane aims to analyze the effect of adding TiO2 to the PVDF membrane mixture on mechanical properties, membrane morphology, and water treatment performance. The tensile test on th…
Bumi kita terdiri dari 97,5% air, namun hanya 2,5% yang layak digunakan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari, pentingnya ketersediaan air bersih menjadi kendala tersendiri bagi kota-kota besar seperti Jakarta, Palembang, Bandung bahkan dibeberapa negara maju didunia dengan tingkat perekonomian dan perindustrian yang tinggi (Sri Redjeki, 2011). Kontaminasi mikrobiologi dari beberapa sumber air y…
