MULTILAYER POROUS COMPOSITE FROM WASTE GLASS FOR WATER FILTRATION
Abstract: Multilayer porous
composite have been produced through the heating process at temperature T=700oC
for 2.5 h. Single layered porous composite was made with a varied mass
percentage of from PEG polymer 1% to
10%. Double-layered porous composite were made by the arrangement of porosity
(4:3)%, (4:2)% and (3:2)%, while the three-layers porous composite have an
arrangement (4:3:2)%. Performance of multilayer porous composite for water
filtration with pollutants of methylene blue 100 ppm was estimated from the
absorbance spectrum. Rejection of methylene blue pollutants from single layered
porous composite increases when the fraction of PEG polymer tend to be smaller
in the matrix. Meanwhile, the double layered porous composite has a degradation
of methylene blue pollutants are better than one layer. Triple layered porous
composite have good performance for the water filtration where all the
pollutants of methylene blue be able to be filtered.
