The MIP was characterized with FTIR, surface area analyzer, SEM-EDS and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. The MIP adsorption ability test variables for dibutyl phthalate were time and concentration. The FTIR indicates that the functional groups –OH, –C=O and –C=C contribute to the formation of MIP and the SEM-EDS analysis showed that the prepared MIP resembles as beads. The MIP’s ability to adsorb dibutyl phthalate is better than NIP and the optimum time to adsorb dibutyl phthalate is 60 min. ## Keywords - Dibutyl phthalate - Methacrylic acid - Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate - Chemistry - Molecularly imprinted polymer - Precipitation polymerization - Adsorption - Polymerization - Nuclear chemistry - Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy - Polymer - Polymer chemistry - Radical polymerization - Chemical engineering - Organic chemistry - Selectivity - Catalysis - Engineering --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
