Modifikasi Membran Polyethersulfone dengan Penambahan Nanopartikel Mg(OH)2 dalam Pelarut Dimethyl Sulfoxide
Membran Polyethersulfone (PES) bersifat hidrofobik yang memiliki ketahanan rendah terhadap sifat fouling. Fouling pada membran mengakibatkan penurunan kinerja membrane selama proses operasi. Oleh karena itu, modifikasi membran perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan sifat hidrofilik membrane.
