The present work shows a methodology for the preparation of membranes with a high affinity for nitrates. For this purpose, a polymeric mixture containing an anion exchange resin was extended on a recycled pressure filtration membrane used as mechanical support. Different ion exchange resins were tested. The influence in ion fractionation of (i) the type of ion exchange resin, (ii) the use of a recycled membrane as support and (iii) the operating current density during the separation process were studied. Results revealed that the employed anion exchange resin could tune up the transport numbers of the anions in the membrane and enhance the transport of nitrates over sulfates. The use of the recycled filtration membrane as support further increased the transport of nitrates in detriment of sulfates in nitrate-selective membranes. Moreover, it considerably improved the mechanical stability of the membranes. Lowering the operational current density also boosted ion fractionation. In addition, the use of recycled membranes as support in membrane preparation is presented as an alternative management route of discarded reverse osmosis membranes, coupling with the challenging management of waste generated by the desalination industry. These membranes could be used for nitrate recovery from wastewater or for nitrate separation from groundwater.

Pemurnian biogas telah banyak dilakukan untuk menghilangkan kadar CO2  dan meningkatkan kandungan CH4  yang terkandung di dalamnya. Kandungan CH4 yang tinggi akan memberikan unjuk kerja yang lebih baik. Model  matematis proses adsorpsi CO2 disusun berdasarkan teori lapisan film antar fasa, dimana pada proses yang ditinjau terdapat tiga fase yaitu gas, cair dan padat. Model matematis dari data eksperimental   kecepatan dan kesetimbangan proses adsorpsi CO2 melalui mekanisme pertukaran ion di suatu kolom adsorpsi telah dibuat. Model ini dibuat untuk mencari konstanta yang dapat dipergunakan pada proses scale up data laboratorium ke skala pilot plant. Parameter proses kecepatan yang dicari nilainya adalah koefisien transfer massa massa volumetris CO2 pada fase cair (kLa), koefisien transfer massa volumetris CO2 pada fasegas (kGa) dan tetapan laju reaksi (k1 dan k2). Pada hasil penelitian ini ditunjukkan bahwa nilai parameter yang diperoleh sesuai hasil fitting data dengan model matematis yang digunakan, yaitu model transfer massa pada lapisan film antar fase secara seri: adalah kGa, kla, k1 dan k2  dengan nilai Sum of Squares Error (SSE) rata-rata 0,0431. Perbandingan nilai kGa hasil simulasi dan teoritisnya memberikan kesalahan rata-rata 18,79%. Perbandingan nilai kLa hasil simulasi dan teoritis memberikan kesalahan rata-rata 7,92%.Kata kunci: model matematis, adsorpsi CO2, pemurnian biogas
