[ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini mengevaluasi kinerja absorpsi gas CO2 dari campurannya denganCH4 melalui membran kontaktor superhidrofobik. Kinerja kontaktor membransuperhidrofobik ini ditinjau dari empat parameter utama dengan variasi laju alirpelarut DEA (100, 300 dam 500 mL/menit) dan jumlah serat membran kontaktor(2000 dan 8000). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kenaikan laju alir pelarutDEA meningkatkan kinerja kontaktor membran superhidrofobik, dalam halkoefisien perpindahan massa, fluks dan efisiensi penyerapan CO2. Sedangkankenaikan jumlah serat membran akan menurunkan koefisien perpindahan massadan fluks CO2. Namun, meningkatkan efisiensi penyerapan CO2 dan acid loading.Koefisien perpindahan massa dan fluks CO2 tertinggi yang didapatkan padapenelitian ini berturut-turut adalah 2,31 x 10-4 cm/s dan 7,15 x 10-6 mmol/cm2s padalaju alir DEA 500 mL/menit dan jumlah serat membran 2000. Sedangkan efisiensipenyerapan CO2 tertinggi adalah 72% pada laju alir DEA 500 mL/menit dan jumlahserat membran 8000.ABSTRACT
This study evaluates performance of CO2 absorption from its mixture with CH4through membran contactor superhydrophobic. Superhidrophobic membranecontactor performance is observed using four main parameters by varying the flowrate of solvent DEA (100, 300 dam 500 mL/min) and the number of fiber membranecontactors (2000 and 8000). The results showed that increasing DEA solvent flowrate increase superhidrophobic membrane contactor performance, in terms of masstransfer coefficient, flux and efficiency removal of CO2. While increasing thenumber of fiber membrane will reduce the mass transfer coefficient and CO2 flux.However, it will increase the efficiency removal of CO2 and acid loading. Thehighest mass transfer coefficient and CO2 flux obtained in this study arerespectively 2,31 x 10-4 cm/s and 7,15 x 10-6 mmol/cm2s on DEA flow rate of 500mL/min and the number of fiber membranes 2000. The highest CO2 absorptionefficiency is 72% at DEA flow rate of 500 mL/min and the number of fibermembranes 8000.;This study evaluates performance of CO2 absorption from its mixture with CH4through membran contactor superhydrophobic.
