Vision

To be able to solve national problems in food and environment through research and innovation.

Mission

1. To develop absorbent material from abundant, local resources for dye absorption and its decomposition. 
2. To develop absorbent material from abundant, local resources for heavy element absorption and separation. 
3. To synthetically develop absorbent material for dye absorption and its decomposition. 
4. To synthetically develop absorbent material for heavy element absorption and separation. 

RESEARCH FACILITY 

TRACK RECORD

The research team have conducted: 

1. Developed absorbent material from metal-organic framework (MOF), for absorption and decomposition of dyes. 
2. Developed absorbent material from metal-organic framework (MOF), for absorption and separation of heavy element ions (Pb2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, and others)
3. Characterizations of absorbent using (single crystal dan powder) X-Ray Difraction, CHN analysis, SEM-EDS, thermal, UV-Vis dan Photoluminescence spectroscopy.
