Nira Potential as Membrane Preparation Materials
Abstract: The cellulose
acetate membrane based on nira (coconut flower water) was successfully
synthesized by phase inversion method. This research was conducted through somesteps
which were microbial cellulose synthesis, cellulose acetate synthesis,
synthesis of celluloseacetate membrane with PEG additive and characterization
of membranes. The characterizationswere flux, rejection, tensile strength, and
pore sizes. The result showed that cellulose acetate membrane flux were 27.52
L/m2.h and rejection of dextran T-500 were 63.30 %. The tensile strength was
1,6 N/m2 and the pore sizes was 0.25 – 0.5 µm which were ultrafiltration membranes.
