SINTESIS DAN KARAKTERISASI TiO2-SiO2 DENGAN PENAMBAHAN KITOSAN DAN SURFAKTAN DTAB

Abstract: TiO2-SiO2/Chitosan is a compound that can be applied as catalyst in organic reaction.  The catalytic activity of TiO2-SiO2 is influenced by for example its morphology beside other factors. In this work, the synthesis of the composite was carried out by sol-gel method modified by the addition of chitosan and dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB). The characterization showed that the morphology of TiO2-SiO2 and TiO2-SiO2/Chitosan are different with the addition of DTAB 10%. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern showed the crystalline of TiO2 anatase is effected by the presence of surfactant DTAB and chitosan. The thermal stability and crystal pattern of TiO2 is influenced by the presence of SiO2 which the anatase structure can be resisted at 550oC. The spectrum of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) showed different intensity in the range 4000-400 cm-1. There are interaction of Ti-O-Si around 900 cm-1, O-Ti-O around 400 cm-1, and Si-O-Si around 1100 cm-1. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis showed the homogeninity distribution of particle with porous morphology.
