Selective transport of gallium from HCl media containing other ions such as Zn, Co, and Ni, by polymer inclusion membranes (PIM), based on CTA/PVC blend using trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) as carrier and 2-nitrophenylpentyl ether (2-NPPE) as plasticizer is studied. The effect of various parameters such as the HCl concenration in the feed, HCl concenration in the stripping phase, carrier (TOPO) concentration, 2-NPPE concentration, the cellulose triacetate (CTA)/poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) as the polymer-blend was experimentally studied and the optimum conditions were determined. It was possible ...Daha fazlası
The extensive use of chromium in leather tanning, metallurgy, electroplating and other industries has resulted in the release of aqueous chromium to the subsurface at numerous sites. Cr (VI) has received considerable attention owing to its extensive industrial applications and has long been recognised as a toxic substance due to its strong oxidising potential and the ease with which it can cross the biological membranes. In recent years the application of various solvent extraction technologies to the removal and concentration of chromium have been widely studied; chemical precipitation, ion e ...Daha fazlası
