Description
Summary:One of effective methods to handle waste-water containing heavy metals is separation with membrane. In this research, two kinds of ceramic membranes were successfully synthesized with two different binders, i.e. PMMA and CMC. Such membranes were made by sintering greeb body of ceramics on optimum temperature. The results showed that the optimums sintering temperature for alumina-bentonite ceramic membrane with binder PMMA was 1250oC, while ceramic membrane with binder CMC was 1100oC. The obtained membranes were characterized by permeability and permselectivity tests of the membranes in separations of heavy metals of cadmium (II) dan chromium (VI), morphology analysis of the membrane using SEM, and structure analysis of the membrane using XRD. <br /> <br />
