Department of Chemical Engineering
The Electrochemical Engineering Group of the Department of Chemical Engineering ITS 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

Elektroliser: Alat untuk memutar hidrogen hijau
Mimpi pemerintah dan perusahaan akan hidrogen karbon rendah tergantung pada skala masif teknologi ini Dalam banyak laporan tentang pembangunan berkelanjutan menuliskan frasa: “hidrogen hijau (green hydrogen)”. Ini berarti bahwa H2 diproduksi dengan memecah air dengan energi terbarukan (disini). Dan ini tidak hanya industri kimia. Dalam material, baja, bahan bakar bio, pemanfaatan karbon dioksida, transportasi berat,…
Pendekatan Tafel untuk persamaan Butler-Volmer
Bentuk elektrokinetika lain untuk memperkirakan efisiensi arus (disini) adalah persamaan Tafel, yang merupakan bentuk penyederhanaan dari persamaan Butler-Volmer (BV): (1) Seperti terlihat pada Persamaan (1), persamaan BV mempunyai dua suku eksponensial, satu yang mewakili arus anodik (i > 0, hs [baca ‘eta s’] > 0 dan satunya yang mewakili arus katodik (i < 0, hs…

MEET THE ALUMNI
Lab terbaik, terbersih dan ternyaman! Sangat kondusif untuk mengerjakan tugas. Suasana kekeluargaan sangat terasa..
Pak Heru adalah “Bintang” Lab Elkimkor dan sungguh amat sangat beruntung jalan hidup saya pernah bersinggungan dengan Beliau. Angkatan kami memanggil Beliau Papi Heru. Panggilan dengan citarasa hangat, manja, dan modern. Secara pribadi saya menilai Beliau adalah pribadi yang hangat mengayomi sekaligus cerdas menyentil :D. Sungguh begitu banyak kenangan manis terukir di Elkimkor Lantai 3 & 4. Termasuk saat saya memecahkan glass BET yang….Beliau pun hanya bersabar tersenyum, padahal di pikiran saya sudah berkecamuk “Wah kagak lulus nih” wkwk..Ampun Bapak.. Saya rasa semua angkatan sepakat bahwa Beliau, Prof. Heru, sungguh tidak hanya memberikan pengarahan, pengajaran, dan fasilitas untuk menyelesaikan tugas akhir tapi juga memberi ruang (Elkimkor) agar kita semua dapat membangun hubungan yang kita sebut sebagai “Keluarga”.
