Official Web of the Department of Chemical Engineering -ITS
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 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 master 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 very high surface area and large pore volume. We developed a process to manufacture such materials from coir fiber and other abundant natural biomass. The aerogel have many potential applications such as adsorbent for dyes and absorbent for oil spill. 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 very high surface area, >3500 m2/g and large pore volume. The aerogels have many potential applications such as 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 been 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

Menguraikan penelitian secara efektif
Sebagai ilmuwan, kita memahami betapa frustasinya ketika mencoba mengulangi hasil peneliti lain yang prosedurnya diuraikan dengan cara serampangan. Kita mungkin jadi bertanya-tanya apakah hasil mereka dapat dipercaya dan detail mana yang mungkin tertinggal dalam publikasi mereka. Untuk menghindarkan diri dari isu seperti itu, menggambarkan secara efektif langkah-langkah yang dikerjakan dalam penelitian adalah hal kritis. Menggambarkan…
