Abstract

This research aimed to optimize the reduction of Malachite Green (MG) dye waste using the Polyeugenol-based Polymer Inclusion Membrane (PIM) Method as a carrier. The carrier used polyeugenol. Mixing polyeugenol, dibenzyl ether (DBE), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and membrane preparation was carried out. The MG concentration after the transport process was measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer with 613 nm wavelength. The PIM before and after transport were characterized by SEM and FTIR. The research results showed that the optimum MG transport yield was 89.09% at a source phase MG pH of 7, HNO3 concentration of 0.75M, concentration of carrier of polyeugenol 0.04 M, and transport time was 24 hours. The characterization SEM and FTIR assumed that components were lost during the transport process. Membrane loss results obtained at the optimum MG transport time for 24 hours were a 5% loss of the membrane component during the transport of the MG process.
