Abstract

Composite membranes based on Chitosan-Pahae Natural Zeolite have been fabricated by solution casting method. The composite membranes are Chitosan and Chitosan with variation of composition zeolite relative to the mass of chitosan. The composition of Pahae natural zeolite are 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. The samples were made by two step. The first step, the zeolite rock was crushed by mortar, and then zeolite was sieved with particle size of 200 mesh. Zeolite was activated by soaking into Sulfuric acid for 2 hours, then rinsed with distilled water until the pH about 7.0. Furthermore, the zeolite was sieved and burned in furnace with temperature 100°C for 5 hours. The second step, chitosan was dissolved in the acetic acid solution and stirred by using magnetic stirrer. Furthermore, zeolite was added into the solution. The resulting solution were stirred for 24 hours and dried in atmosphere at room temperature. From FTIR spectra was confirmed the existence of chitosan with stretching and bending at absorption wavenumber of 3250 cm-1, 2877 cm-1, 1640 cm-1, 1543 cm-1, 1401 cm-1 and 1014 cm-1. The morphology of surfaces were obtained by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and showed that zeolite was evenly distributed within chitosan.
