In this study, cellulose acetate/polyethylene glycol (CA/PEG) membrane with composition 80/20 was prepared by phase inversion method. Titanium dioxide with different number has been added by using surface coating. Hydrophilicity, morphology, flux permeate and salt rejection of membranes has been studied. The hydrophilicity is determined by Fourier-Transformed Infra-Red (FTIR) spectra and contact angle analysis. Surface and fractured morphology are identified by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The experiment results show that hydrophilicity of CA/PEG membrane increases with the addition and the increasing of TiO2 contents. However, with further increasing of TiO2, hydrophilicity of CPT membrane decreases. The optimum membrane is CA/PEG/TiO2 80/20/1,25 g/L solvent (CPT 3) with flux permeate of 111,82 L.m-2h-1 and salt rejection of 48,30%.
