Abstract

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIP) are polymers with active sites that can recognize target molecules selectively. This study aims to determine the kinetics and adsorption capacity of MIP_DBP. The method used in the synthesis of MIP_DBP was precipitation polymerization using methacrylic acid (MAA) monomer, Ethyleneglycol Dimethacrylate (EGDMA) cross linker, DBP as a template molecule, and toluene as a solvent. The MIP_DBP obtained is a white solid. The results of the MIP_DBP adsorption kinetics test followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the adsorption capacity according to the Freundlich isothermal adsorption model with the adsorption capacity value for DBP was 9.38 mg/g.
