Abstract

The article reported the preparation and modification of hydrophobicpolyethersulfone (PES) by blending the solution with hydrophilic additives Tetronic 304, Tetronic 704, Tetronic 1307, and Tetronic 908. Polymeric porous membranes are generally prepared by the phase separation of polymer solution. In this work, we prepared hollow fibre membrane by non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS). Effect of molecular weight of surfactant added on the performance and characteristic of fabricated membrane were investigated. The control PES membrane has the highest contact angle, indicating thelowest hydrophilic. With addition of surfactant Tetronic in the polymer blend hollow fibre membrane, the water contact angle decreased indicates that the membrane surface is more hydrophilic. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images for all of the membrane showed the structure of fibre with finger-like macro voids through the cross-section. The sponge-type of structure in the centre path of original membrane was disappearing with addition of Tetronic. Ultrafiltration experiment results showed that water permeability washighest with addition of Tetronic with lowest molecular weight. According to thecharacteristics of resulting membrane such as hydrophilicity, ultrafiltration performance, and pores structure, surfactant Tetronic was a good additive to produce hydrophilic membrane for drinking water application

Abstract

Clean water is a natural resource which is indispensable, due to the increase of population, water demand is also increasing. so that technology is needed in water treatment to satisfy the needs of clean water. Membrane separation technology is a technology that has grown rapidly in addressing the problems of water treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and performance of Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes modified with magnesium hydroxide or Mg(OH)2 and modification using chitosan. Membrane preparation was carried out by the phase inversion method, using an 18 wt% PES polymer modified with the addition of 0.2 wt% of Mg(OH)2, and modification using 0.2 wt% of chitosan. Furthermore, it was dissolved in N-Methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent and the dope solution was stirred for 24 hours until it was homogeneous. Membrane characterization includes functional group analysis and measurement of the membrane water contact angle. Whereas membrane performance testing is done through permeability measurement and membrane rejection using a dead end ultrafiltration module. The results showed that the hydroxyl group (-OH) contained in Mg(OH)2 and chitosan were able to improve the hydrophilicity of the PES membrane. The membrane permeability coefficient modified with Mg(OH)2 gives a value of 8.236 L/m2.h.bar, while modifying the membrane using chitosan produces a value of 6.237 L/m2.h.bar. Both of them experience an increase compared to pure PES membrane without modification that has a permeability value of 4.123 L/m2.h.bar.

Abstract

Abstract                                                                        One cause of the increase in free fatty acids (FFA) in Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is the activity of lipase-producing microorganisms in the oil palm fruit. Lipase is a biocatalisator which accelerate oil-hydrolysis reaction. High Free Fatty Acid Levels (FFA) will caused rancidity, change the taste and color of the oil. To solve this problem, post-harvest palm fruits should treat with some special treatment, e.g. addition of anti-microbial material, such as liquid smoke The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of liquid smoke on oil palm fruit, the inhibition of elevated levels of free fatty acids (FFA) on CPO. The factors reviewed in this study is the concentration of liquid smoke used; 5, 15, and 25% and the standing time; 12, 16 and 20 hours. The parameters observed in this study are free fatty acids (FFA), water, and impurities. The results showed that the higher the concentration of liquid smoke added, the higher inhibition of oil hydrolysis. CPO levels of FFA decreased at approximately 0,03 to 0,37% after the addition of liquid smoke. Highest inhibition on ALB increase was obtained in the treatment of the sample with the addition of 25% liquid smoke and 12 hours of standing time, which is 2,46%. Keywords: Crude Palm Oil (CPO), Free Fatty Acid (FFA), Water, Impurities, Liquid Smoke.Abstrak       Salah satu penyebab peningkatan asam lemak bebas (ALB) di dalam Crude Palm Oil (CPO) adalah, karena adanya aktivitas mikroorganisme penghasil lipase di dalam buah kelapa sawit. Lipase merupakan biokatalisator yang mempercepat reaksi hidrolisis minyak. Kadar Asam Lemak Bebas (ALB) yang tinggi menyebabkan ketengikan, perubahan rasa dan warna pada minyak. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, buah kelapa sawit perlu diberi perlakuan khusus, yaitu penambahan bahan anti mikroba pada buah kelapa sawit pasca panen, salah satunya adalah asap cair. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan asap cair pada buah kelapa sawit, terhadap penghambatan peningkatan kadar asam lemak bebas (ALB) pada CPO. Adapun faktor yang ditinjau dalam penelitian ini adalah konsentrasi asap cair yang digunakan, yaitu 5, 15, dan 25% dan waktu pendiaman, yaitu 12, 16, dan 20 jam. Parameter yang diamati dalam penelitian ini antara lain, asam lemak bebas (ALB), air, dan kotoran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi konsentrasi asap cair yang ditambahkan, maka penghambatan hidrolisis minyak semakin tinggi. Kadar ALB pada CPO yang dihasilkan menurun sekitar 0,62 – 2,55% setelah penambahan asap cair. Penghambatan peningkatan ALB tertinggi diperoleh pada perlakuan sampel dengan penambahan 25% asap cair dan waktu pendiaman 12 jam, yaitu 2.46%. Kata kunci : Crude Palm Oil (CPO), Asam Lemak Bebas (ALB), Air, Kotoran (Impuritis), Asap cair (Liquid Smoke)

Abstract

Abstrak Penelitian ini membahas tentang pemisahan protein albumin (bovine serum albumin) menggunakan modul tunggal membran hollow fiber yang terbuat dari polimer polietersulfone (PES)/N-metilpirrolidon (NMP) dan membran modifikasi PES/NMP dengan polimer hidrofilik Tetronic 304 (PES/NMP/Tetronic 304). Proses ultrafiltrasi dilakukan dengan mengalirkan larutan albumin 1000 ppm melewati modul membran dengan bantuan pompa peristaltik. Karakterisasi terhadap struktur morfologi membran dengan SEM memberikan informasi bahwa membran PES/NMP/Tetronic 304 mempunyai struktur pori yang lebih besar dan panjang dengan distribusi pori yang lebih merata dari pada membran PES/NMP. Uji ultrafiltrasi terhadap kedua jenis membran dengan larutan model protein albumin menunjukkan bahwa membran PES/NMP/Tetronic 304 mempunyai permeabilitas yang lebih tinggi pada setiap kondisi tekanan operasi. Rejeksi larutan albumin yang mencapai 90 % diperoleh pada uji filtrasi membran PES/NMP pada tekanan operasi 0,3 atm. Pada uji stabilitas filtrasi dengan tekanan operasi 0,5 atm didapatkan permeabilitas membran PES/NMP/Tetronic 304 pada initial point jauh lebih besar dibandingkan permeabilitas membran PES/NMP. Permeabilitas larutan albumin untuk membran PES/NMP turun drastis mendekati nol setelah ultrafiltrasi berjalan selama dua jam, sementara permeabilitas membran PES/NMP/Tetronic 304 masih bertahan sekitar 5 L/m2.jam.atm. Kata kunci: albumin, permeabilitas, polietersulfon, ultrafiltrasi Abstract BOVINE SERUM ALBUMIN SOLUTION PERMEABILITY IN SINGLE MODULE POLYETHERSULFONE HOLLOW FIBER MEMBRANE. The present research discussed about protein (bovine serum albumin) separation by using single module hollow fiber membrane prepared from polyethersulfone/N-metilpirrolidon (PES/NMP) polymer and PES/NMP modified membrane with hydrophilic polymer Tetronic 304. The ultrafiltration was carried out by filtering albumin solution of 1000 ppm through membrane module by the peristaltic pump. The characterization of membrane morphology by SEM showed that the PES/NMP/Tetronic 304 membrane had larger and wider pore structure and better pore distribution compared with PES/NMP membrane. Ultrafiltration experiments for both membranes were done by using albumin solution, and the results showed that the permeability of PES/NMP/Tetronic 304 membrane was higher than that of PES/NMP membrane in all condition of applied pressure. The solute rejection was achieved up to 90% for ultrafiltration of albumin solution by using PES/NMP membrane obtained on the operating pressure of 0.3 atm. Membrane stability observation on the operating pressure of 0.5 atm showed that the initial permeability of PES/NMP/Tetronic 304 was much higher than that of PES/NMP membrane. The permeability of PES/NMP membrane was drastically decreased to almost zero after two hours filtration time, whereas the permeability of PES/NMP/Tetronic 304 membrane still produced about 5 L/m2.h.atm. Keywords: albumin, permeability, polyethersulfone, ultrafiltration
