The manufacture of inorganic hybrid membranes from the ingredients of activated zeolite (Z), clay (CL), white Portland cement (CW) and PVA adhesive has been carried out on various M1, M2 and M2 material compositions (Z: CL: CW: PVA = 25%: 50%: 20: 5%), (Z: CL: CW: PVA = 50%: 25%: 20: 5%), (Z: CL: CW: PVA = 75%: 0%: 20: 5%) respectively. 100 mesh zeolites are activated using 2M HCL. The membrane is printed in a cylindrical shape with a specification of 69,83x250mm and is burned at a sintering temperature of 500-700OC. This study aims to determine the classification of produced membranes and determine the effect of temperature on the characterization of an inorganic hybrid produced membranes based on permeability, density, porosity and membrane morphology test using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the temperature influences membrane characterization. The higher is the temperature, the lower is the membrane density. The membrane pore size decreases and porosity increase. The results of the study obtained an inorganic hybrid membrane (MHA-ZC) classified as microfiltration membrane (MF) with a pore size of 1,2-6,302μm porosity 45%, density 0,811 gr/cm 3 , and flux permeability 313,57 L/m 2 .jam. The M1 membrane test has been able to remove the colour of the 90.59% peat water from 170 PtCu to 16 PtCu, and the pH of the peat water is successfully neutral at 6.5-7.5.
