Abstract
This research was aimed to study the made of chitosan membrane.
The chitosan membrane was made from industrial waste of prawn packing
factory. The prawn husk was extracted to become chitin before it was then
transformed to chitosan. In order to make a membrane, the chitosan was
mixed with an acetic acid solution using magnetic stirrer. The mixed of
chitosan and an acetic acid solution was doing for 24 hour to make sure the
solution are homogenic. After that, chitosan solution was stored to glass
plate 10x10 cm. The glass plate that have been with chitosan solution then
dried for 48 hours. A Chitosan Membrane that have made was keeped with
the plate until it used.
Keywords: chitosan membrane, industrial waste
