Abstract

The development of Polyamide-Al₂O₃ nanocomposite membranes into a solution for treating oil and gas wastewater into clean water that can be flowed back into the sea or reused as a source of clean water using simple operations, without additives, cost-effective, and has high productivity. Polyamide–Al₂O₃ membranes have been successfully synthesized. This study aims to find out the effect of Al₂O₃ concentration on the process of treating oil and gas wastewater into clean water using Polyamide nanocomposite membranes, the performance of Polyamide-Al₂O₃ nanocomposite membranes with the addition of the active substance PEG and PVA and characterization of Polyamide-Al₂O₃ nanocomposite membranes through mechanical membrane, morphology, and FTIR assays. The membrane that has been made is characterized using tensile strength, contact angle, FTIR, and SEM-EDX. The best result of polyamide membrane tensile strength is Polyamide 18% with a young modulus value of 0.16 MPa. The addition of Al₂O₃ to the Polyamide membrane was able to reduce the hydrophilicity properties of the membrane from 95.92° to 67.2°, increasing the flux value by 41.886 L/m².h, and percent rejection by 99.8%. The SEM-EDX result of Polyamida membranes has small elongated finger-like pores and a tighter structure, while Polyamide–Al₂O₃ has sponge-like pores and larger pore sizes.
