abstract

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 paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons (c10-c14) as a diluent, montane®-80 (sorbitan monooleate) as the surfactant and nitric acid solution as the stripping solution. the selection of the extractant (cyanex-302) and the stripper (hno3) was based on conventional liquid–liquid extraction studies. the role of ph as an important parameter in the lem process for extraction of ag+ was studied. extraction of ag+ increased with an increase in strip phase and carrier concentration. the fundamental parameters (emulsion stability, ph of the feed aqueous solution, agitation speed, surfactant concentration, strip phase concentration, carrier concentration, surfactant concentrations and treatment ratio) affecting the separation of ag+ through the elm were investigated to select the best combination of process parameters. the maximum extraction of ag+ (about 99%) was achieved at a montane®-80 concentration of 5% (v/v), strip phase concentration of 0.4m nitric acid and a phase ratio of 1:1.

Separation of Formic Acid from Aqueous Solutions by Liquid Extraction Technique at Different Temperatures

In this study, the separation of formic acid from aqueous solutions was investigated. Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data including tie-lines was reported for water + formic acid + 2-methylpropyl ethanoate ternary mixture at (293.15 to 323.15) K and atmospheric pressure. The system shows type-I phase behavior based on Treybal’s classification because only one partially miscible binary mixture ...

Extraction of lutetium(III) from aqueous solutions by employing a single fibre-supported liquid membrane.

Transport behaviour of Lu(III) across a polypropylene hollow fibre-supported liquid membrane containing di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (DEHPA) in dihexyl ether as a carrier has been studied. The donor phase was LuCl(3) in the buffer solution consisting of 0.2 M sodium acetate at pH 2.5-5.0. A miniaturised system with a single hollow fibre has been operated in a batch mode. The concentration of...

Extraction-Stripping Patterns during Co-Extraction of Copper and Nickel from Ammoniacal Solutions into Emulsion Liquid Membranes Using LIX 84I®

Extraction of nickel and its co-extraction with copper from ammoniacal media into emulsion liquid membrane systems (ELMs) was investigated using LIX 84I as the carrier. Measurement of the solute stripped in the internal phase of emulsion opened a new dimension in the study of the ELM extraction processes. The effect of operating parameters such as feed pH, initial feed concentration, and treat ...
