Characterization Study of Inorganic Hybrid Membrane of Mixed Activated Zeolite and Clay with PVA Adhesives using Sintering Method for colourless Peat Water

Abstract

The manufacture of inorganic hybrid membranes from the ingredients of activated zeolite (Z), clay (CL), white Portland cement (CW) and PVA adhesive has been carried out on various M1, M2 and M2 material compositions (Z: CL: CW: PVA = 25%: 50%: 20: 5%), (Z: CL: CW: PVA = 50%: 25%: 20: 5%), (Z: CL: CW: PVA = 75%: 0%: 20: 5%) respectively. 100 mesh zeolites are activated using 2M HCL. The membrane is printed in a cylindrical shape with a specification of 69,83x250mm and is burned at a sintering temperature of 500-700OC. This study aims to determine the classification of produced membranes and determine the effect of temperature on the characterization of an inorganic hybrid produced membranes based on permeability, density, porosity and membrane morphology test using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the temperature influences membrane characterization. The higher is the temperature, the lower is the membrane density. The membrane pore size decreases and porosity increase. The results of the study obtained an inorganic hybrid membrane (MHA-ZC) classified as microfiltration membrane (MF) with a pore size of 1,2-6,302μm porosity 45%, density 0,811 gr/cm3, and flux permeability 313,57 L/m2.jam. The M1 membrane test has been able to remove the colour of the 90.59% peat water from 170 PtCu to 16 PtCu, and the pH of the peat water is successfully neutral at 6.5-7.5.

Effectiveness of cellulose acetate composite membrane with the addition of zeolite additives to reduce TDS levels in peat water using a cross-flow reactor

“…The permeability or flux of the membrane is affected by the number and size of the membrane pores, the interaction between the membrane and the feed solution, and the operating pressure used. The smaller the pore size, the smaller the resulting membrane flux [14]. In addition, the membrane flux is also influenced by the composition of the membrane material, including the type of polymer chosen, the concentration of the polymer solution used, and the addition of additives used to improve the membrane's mechanical properties [27].…”

“…The results showed that the membrane was able to reduce turbidity in peat water and improve the membrane's mechanical properties. Thus, it is necessary to modify membranes made from organic polymers by adding inorganic materials [14,15]. Modifying membranes based on organic polymers (cellulose acetate) with the addition of inorganic materials (zeolite) has been carried out and applied in dead-end flow.…”

“…The study results show that the composite membrane can reject organic compounds in peat water. Furthermore, applying membranes in cross-flow can minimize the buildup or fouling of the membrane [19].…”

The prospect of synthesis of PES/PEG blend membranes using blend NMP/DMF for CO2/N2 separation

“…Metals, rigid polymers (ceramics), or pyrolysed carbons are common fabrication materials of an inorganic membrane. The purpose of using metals and ceramics in fabricating an inorganic membrane is to add mechanical strength with minimum resistance for mass transfer [86]. Besides, it promotes membrane surface interaction with the desired component, which increases permeation efficiency [40].…”
