Abstrak: Air limbah pabrik tahu jika dibuang langsung ke lingkungan menyebabkan pencemaran lingkungan yang akan merusak kualitas air, terutama air limbah tersebut dialirkan ke badan sungai. Oleh sebab itu, sangatlah diperlukan suatu teknologi yang efisien untuk pengolahan air limbah tahu ini. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh performansi membran silika pada proses desalinasi via pervaporasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menyiapkan silika sol yang dipersiapkan dari proses sol-gel menggunakan prekursor TEOS dalam larutan etanol. Selanjutnya adalah dengan menggunakan metode “2 step acid and base catalysts” dengan menggunakan HNO3 dan NH3 sebagai katalis. Silica thin film yang dihasilkan berupa sol di-dipcoating dan kemudian dilakukan proses kalsinasi pada suhu 600oC selama 1 jam menggunakan metode RTP (Rapid Thermal Process). Jumlah lapisan/layer dari membran silika tersebut adalah berdasarkan pengulangan proses dipcoating dan kalsinasi yang mana pada penelitian ini menggunakan variasi 3 layer. Performansi membran ini dilakukan dengan proses desalinasi via pervaporasi dengan menggunakan air limbah tahu yang bertujuan untuk memperoleh air bersih. Adapun nilai water flux membrane ini berkisar antara 1,74 – 1,48 kg m-2 h-1 dengan rejection berkisar antara 93,63 – 89.27 %. Hasil ini membuktikan bahwa membrane silika bisa mengolah air limbah tahu menjadi potable water walaupun nilai water flux perlu ditingkatkan. Sebagai tambahan analisis, uji karakteristik membran seperti uji FTIR dilakukan untuk mengetahui gugus fungsi dari membran silika dan uji morfologi menggunakan SEM untuk mengetahui ketebalan lapisan membran yang dihasilkan.       Keywords: limbah tahu, water flux, rejection, membran silika dan pervaporasi.

Bacterial adhesion to surfaces is the first step in biofilm formation, which leads to the development of conditions that may compromise the health status of patients. Surface modification has been proposed to reduce bacterial adhesion to biomaterials. The objective of this work was to assess and compare Streptococcus mutans adhesion to the surface of biomimetically-modified stainless steel using different topographies. Stainless steel plates were modified using a soft lithography technique following a biomimetic approach. The leaves from Colocasia esculenta, Crocosmia aurea and Salvinia molesta were used as surface models. Silica sol was synthesized using the sol-gel method. Following a soft lithography technique, the surface of the leaves were transferred to the surface of the SS plates. Natural and modified surfaces were characterized by means of atomic force microscopy and contact angle. Streptococcus mutans was used to assess bacterial adhesion. Contact angle measurements showed that natural leaves are highly hydrophobic, but such hydrophobicity could not be transferred to the metallic plates. Roughness varied among the leaves and increased after transference for C. esculenta and decreased for C. aurea. In general, two of the surface models used in this investigation showed positive results for reduction of bacterial adhesion (C. aurea and C. esculenta), while the other showed an increase in bacterial adhesion (S. molesta). Therefore, since a biomimetic approach using natural surfaces showed opposite results, careful selection of the surface model needs to be taken into consideration.

The porous silica thin film was selected as thermal insulation thin film of uncooled infrared detector in order to reduce device thermal conduction loss. A new ion implantation manufacture method of porous silica thin film was studied in this paper. The porous silica thin films were prepared by ion implanted method and acid/alkali two-step catalytic sol-gel method respectively for comparison purpose. H+ and N+ ion mixing implantation technique adopted makes the gas bubble in the depth and shallow of silica thin film respectively, and one setting power can form porous structure with porous rate between 17% and 29%. By properly control the heat dealing process, gas bubble will format, expand, but not abrupt in the silica thin film. Sol-gel derived silica thin film has porous rate of 62.8%, but it cannot be used as substrate of electrode film and infrared thermal sensing film because of its irregular surface. The surface of ion implanted silica thin film is even and can be used as substrate, and its insulating performance could be further enhanced by etch off the thick silica substrate from back, after pyroelectric infrared sensing layer formed.
