Department of Chemical Engineering
The Electrochemical Engineering Lab aims to advance chemical engineering education by providing fundamental, theoretical and technological skills to bachelors, masters and doctoral students. The research activities of our group are to develop fundamental understanding of electrochemical processes and electrochemical-related materials technology. This knowledge is brought forward into the group’s teaching, applied research and problem solving for industries.
Our group works with both fundamental and industrially relevant problems important for the continuous development of a research-based chemical engineering education.
STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES!
Are you interested in obtaining a master’s or doctoral degree in chemical engineering? We accept students from industries (master/doctor) with a flexibility doing their project on site. Please contact us with your curriculum vitae.
Former PMDSU Students: Dr. Mar’atul Fauziyah, Dr. Puspita Nurlilasari, Dr. Fahmi

Cellulose aerogel has excellent properties due to its remarkably high surface area and large pore volume. We developed a process to manufacture such materials from coir fiber and other abundant natural biomass. Aerogel has many potential applications such as absorbent for dyes and absorbent for oil spills. It may be carbonized to produce carbon aerogel having extraordinary properties suitable for many applications. Read more
N-doped carbon aerogel possessing honeycomb-like structure of internal pores in individual fibers has been successfully prepared from coir fibers using our proposed method via one-step route of ammonia-urea system. The non-ordered porous carbon aerogel has an extremely high surface area, >3500 m2/g and large pore volume. Aerogels have many potential applications such as solid acid catalyst for esterification, electrocatalyst in metal-air batteries and fuel cells, and so on. Read more
Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles have many potential applications for environment, biomedical, and energy storage and conversion. We proposed a simple electrooxidation of iron in water. No chemicals other than water are used. Alternating monopolar configuration has been demonstrated to be able to produce high-throughput production of the nanoparticles. The electrochemical reactor is easy to scale-up for mass production. Read more

Persamaan dibalik potensiostat
Artikel ini menjelaskan kerja potensiostat lebih dalam, menggunakan hukum Faraday dan persamaan Nernst. Sebuah potensiostat mengontrol potensial elektroda kerja dan mengukur arus yang mengalir melaluinya. Mengapa tidak hanya dua elektroda? Salah satu alasannya adalah potensial elektroda kerja tidak dapat diukur terhadap titik tetap ketika hanya menggunakan dua elektroda. Bayangkan sistem dua elektroda yang terdiri dari…
Menyampaikan gagasan pada AM BKK PII 2025 untuk memanfaatkan sumber lokal berkelanjutan untuk elektroda penyimpan energi elektrokimia
Sebagai bagian dari upaya untuk memperkuat kolaborasi antar insiyur kimia, Badan Kejuruan Kimia Persatuan Insinyur Indonesia (BKK PII) menyelenggarakan pertemuan tahunan 2025 yang diadakan di Universitas Indonesia (UI) (lihat disini). Pertemuan tahunan ini dimaksudkan untuk melihat kebutuhan industri kimia dan menjadi forum untuk jejaring, berbagi pengetahuan dan memperkuat hubungan antar masyarakat industri kimia, akademik dan…

What Alumni Say…
Terima kasih Bapak Prof Heru & Bapak Ir Minta Yuwana atas ilmu dan bimbingannya selama kami menempuh tugas akhir S1 di Tahun 2010-2011. Bapak sangat teliti, tegas dan disiplin. Lab Elkimkor jg memiliki fasilitas yg lengkap sehingga mahasiswa dapat melakukan penelitian dengan baik. Semoga Bapak panjang umur dan sehat selalu, serta Lab Elkimkor semakin sukses menghasilkan karya yang bermanfaat untuk bangsa & negara.
Banyak yang bisa dipelajari selama di Lab Elkim Semoga elkimkor tetep jaya jaya jaya
Belajar di lab elkim sangat menyenangkan. Begadang tiap malam untuk running data terbayar dengan rasa penasaran yg terjawab untuk riset skripsi. Secara langsung dibentuk menjadi pribadi yg gigih, tidak pantang menyerah
Saya bersyukur sekali bisa belajar banyak dari bapak, ibu, dan saudara-saudara di elkimkor. Alhamdulillah banyak momen mengharukan, suka, duka, dan kebersamaan dilalui bersama keluarga elkimkor. Terimakasih bapak (prof. Dr. Ir. Heru Setyawan M.Eng) dan ibu (prof. Dr. Widiyastuti ST MT), atas semua kebaikan, ilmu, pengalaman, pelajaran, dan kebersamaan yang sangat berharga. Selalu mendoakan kesehatan, kebahagiaan, kesuksesan dan semua kebaikan untuk bapak (prof. Dr. Ir. Heru Setyawan M.Eng) dan ibu (prof. Dr. Widiyastuti ST MT) dan sauda-saudara semuanya. Aamiin.
