Tar Removal from Gasification/Pyrolysis by Emulsion Liquid Membrane: A Short Overview

Removal of copper ions from a waste mine water by a liquid emulsion membrane method

This is a communication on the removal of copper(II) ions from a residual mine water using an emulsified liquid membrane (ELM). The membrane was prepared by dissolving the extractant LIX-860 (a salicylaldoxime), used as a mobile carrier, and Span80, a surfactant, in kerosene. The ELM allowed an efficient metal transport from the feed solution towards the strip liquor, in experiments carried out...

Extraction of Acetaminophen from Aqueous Solution by Emulsion Liquid Membrane Using Taylor-Couette Column

A study on the extraction of Acetaminophen (ACTP) which is also known as paracetamol, from aqueous solution by emulsion liquid membrane process using Taylor-Couette Column (TCC) was investigated. An ELM consists of three phase system which are the external, membrane and internal phases. The external phase containing the ACTP aqueous solution to be treated. Basically, the internal and membrane p...

Extraction of Silver Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Emulsion Liquid Membrane

A comprehensive study pertaining to the emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) extraction process to enrich dilute aqueous solutions of silver salt is presented. The study has highlighted the importance and influence of membrane composition for maximizing the extraction of Ag+ ions. The liquid membrane was made up of Cyanex-302 as an extractant and the industrial solvent mainly consists of p...

Performance evaluation of organic emulsion liquid membrane on phenol removal.

The percentage removal of phenol from aqueous solution by emulsion liquid membrane and emulsion leakage was investigated experimentally for various parameters such as membrane:internal phase ratio, membrane:external phase ratio, emulsification speed, emulsification time, carrier concentration, surfactant concentration and internal agent concentration. These parameters strongly influence the per...
