Selective Facilitated Transport of Uranium(VI) Across a Bulk Liquid Membrane Containing Benzoyltrifluoroacetone as Extractant-Carrier

Abstract

A study has been made on carrier-mediated transport of uranium(VI) using a bulk liquid membrane prepared by dissolving benzoyltrifluoroacetone (HBTA) in carbon tetrachloride. The source phase comprised of a solution of UO₂ ²⁺ or its binary mixture with other cations such as Th⁴⁺, Hf⁴⁺, Zr⁴⁺, Fe³⁺, La³⁺, Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Mn²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Zn²⁺ in aqueous solutions of pH 6.0, while 0.1 M hydrochloric acid was serving as a stripping agent in the receiving compartment. The interference from Th⁴⁺ and a few other cations could be eliminated by using trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (DCTA) as a proper masking agent in the feed solution. Various factors influencing the transport process have been studied and an uphill transport (>99%) of uranium(VI) from the source phase could be accomplished under optimum conditions.

Highly Efficient and Selective Transport of Cu(II) with a Cooperative Carrier Composed of Tetraaza-14-Crown-4 and Oleic Acid through a Bulk Liquid Membrane

Tetraaza-14-crown-4 and oleic acid was successfully applied for transport of Cu(II) in chloroform bulk liquid membrane. The uphill moving of Cu(II) during the liquid membrane transport process has occurred. The main effective variable such as the type of the metal ion acceptor in the receiving phase and its concentration, tetraaza-14-crown-4 and oleic acid concentration in the organic phase on the efficiency of the ion-transport system were examined. By using L-cysteine as a metal ion acceptor in the receiving phase, the maximum amount of copper (II) transported across the liquid membrane was achieved to 96 ± 1.5% after 140 minutes. The selectivity of copper ion transport from the aqueous solutions containing Pb²⁺, Tl⁺, Ag⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Mg²⁺, Zn²⁺, Hg²⁺, Cd²⁺ and Ca²⁺ ions were investigated. In the presence of CH₃COONH₄ and Na₄P₂O₇ as suitable masking agents in the source phase, the interfering effects of Pb⁺² and Cd²⁺ were diminished drastically.     

Selective Transport of Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metallic Ions through a Supported Liquid Membrane Containing Tripentyl Phosphate as a Carrier

Abstract

A selective transport system for alkali and alkaline earth metallic ions with a perchlorate ion as a pairing ion species through a supported liquid membrane (SLM) containing tripentyl phosphate (TPP) as a carrier is described. The SLM used is a porous polypropylene membrane impregnated with TPP solution in o-nitrophenyloctylether. The effects of the pairing ion species, the initial perchlorate concentration, and the TPP concentration on metallic ion transportability are examined under various experimental conditions. The permeation velocities of the metallic ions in the transport system followed the sequence Li⁺?Na⁺>K⁺>Mg²⁺; that is, a highly selective transport for Li⁺ ion was observed. Compared with the transport rates of alkali metallic ions, those of transition metallic ions such as Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions are very low. The permeation velocities of alkali and alkaline earth metallic ions through an SLM are dependent on the concentrations of perchlorate and TPP. Equations for the permeation velocities of Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, and Mg²⁺ ions through an SLM, based on two concentrations of perchlorate and TPP, are proposed.

Abstract

The facilitated transport of Au(III) through a chloroform bulk liquid membrane containing potassium-dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 as a selective ion carrier was designed. Au(III) as [AuBr₄]^?, quantitatively transported across the liquid membrane. In the receiving phase, L-cysteine acts as a specific stripping agent. The amount of Au(III) transported through the liquid membrane after 120 minutes was (96.2±1.3)%. The type of halide and its concentration, pH of source and receiving phase and also the type of stripping agents were optimized. The selectivity and efficiency of gold(III) transport from aqueous solutions containing various metal ions were investigated. The presence of EDTA in the source phase diminished drastically the competitive effect of interfering metals ion.     

Study on Competitive Transport of Heavy Metal Ions Through Liquid Surfactant Membrane

Abstract

In the present work an attempt has been made to develop a mathematical model for competitive transport of Cr(VI) and Mo(VI) through liquid surfactant membrane from acidic solution using Alamine‐336 and Caustic Soda as extractant and stripping reagent respectively. A reaction front has been assumed to exist within the emulsion globule in the proposed model. It has been assumed that, an instantaneous and irreversible reaction takes place at the membrane‐internal stripping phase interface between the solute and internal stripping reagent. Experiments on simultaneous extraction of Cr(VI) and Mo(VI), in batch mode, from aqueous solutions of Potassium Dichromate and Ammonium Molybdate have been carried out with the initial concentration of the solutes between 50–100 mg/l. Experiment on emulsion stability has also been performed to arrive at a reasonably stable emulsion composition. Effect of initial solute concentration on distribution coefficient has also been found experimentally and fitted by a semiemperical model that has been used in the computer simulation of the simultaneous extraction process. It has been found that the experimental results are within reasonably close proximity with the simulated curves.     

Adsorption of Cu2+ Cations from Aqueous Solution by S-doped TiO2

S-doped TiO₂ as a novel adsorbent for Cu²⁺ cations removal from aqueous solutions was synthesized by simple sol-gel process. Removal of Cu²⁺ cations from aqueous solutions was investigated with particular reference to the effects of initial Cu²⁺ cations concentration, pH-value, adsorbent dosage, and temperature on adsorption. It was found that the maximum adsorption capacity was 96.35 mg g^?1 at 328 K. The adsorption equilibrium isotherms and the kinetic data were well described by the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, respectively. The high uptake capability of S-doped TiO₂ makes it a potentially attractive adsorbent for the removal of heavy metal pollutants from aqueous solution.     

Transport of Hg2+ Ions across a Supported Liquid Membrane Containing Calix[4]arene Nitrile Derivatives as a Specific Ion Carrrier

Abstract

The transport behavior of Hg²⁺ from aqueous solution through a flat‐sheet‐supported liquid membrane (SLM) has been investigated by using of calix[4]arene derivatives (1 and 2) as carriers and Celgrad 2400 and 2500 as the solid support. The effect of solvent type and anions such as chloride and nitrate ions on the transport of Hg²⁺ was examined. Danesi mass transfer model was used to calculate the permeability coefficients for each parameter studied. The highest values of permeability were obtained with 2‐nitrophenyl ethyl ether (NPOE) solvent and the influence was found to be in the order, NPOE>chloroform>xylene. The transport efficiency on the supported liquid membrane was dependent on the type of carrier, its characteristics, and the type of the solvent.

Novel Facial Conducting Polyamide-Based Dithiophenylidene Cyclyhexanone Moiety Utilized for Selective Cu2+ Sensing

The present work is aimed to synthesize a novel series of linear polyamides (PAs) 4_a–d based on di(thiazolyl-thiophenylidene)cyclyhexanone as well as carries aliphatic and aromatic species in the polymer main backbones. The polymerization process was occurred by solution polycondensation technique by the interaction of the newly synthesized monomer 3 with adepoyl, sebacoyl, terphthaloyl, and isophthaloyldiacid chlorides. Before polymerization, the structure of monomer 3 was confirmed by elemental and spectral analyses. The structures of polymers were also investigated by elemental, spectral analysis, thermal analysis, and Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) micrographs. Film draw temperatures for all the polymers were evaluated in the range 509.0–542.3°C. Here, the heavy metallic sensors are developed with the polyamide-fabricated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by reliable current vs. voltage technique. A thin layer of PA onto GCE was fabricated with conducting coating agents (5% nafion) to fabricate a selective heavy metal ions, Cu²⁺ sensor in short response time in phosphate buffer phase. The fabricated sensor was also exhibited higher sensitivity, lower detection limit, large dynamic concentration ranges, long-term stability, and improved electrochemical performances toward Cu²⁺ sensor. The calibration plot is linear (r²: 0.9956) over the large Cu²⁺ ion concentration ranges (1.0?nM to 10.0?mM). The sensitivity and detection limit is 3.4177?µA?cm^?2?µM^?1 and 0.36?nM (signal-to-noise ratio of 3) respectively. This novel effort is initiated a well-organized way of efficient cationic sensor improvement with conductive polymers for heavy metallic pollutants in environmental and health-care fields in large scales.

A Green Method to Fabricate Polyethyleneimine-Alginate Multilayer Coatings Modified Polyurethane Foam for Cu2+ Adsorption from Aqueous Solution

In this study, flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF) was modified with bio-based coatings composed of polyethylenimine (PEI) and alginate (ALG), fabricated by layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly. LbL self-assembled coatings modified FPUFs were studied for their potentials for removing Cu²⁺ ions from aqueous solutions by using batch adsorption technique, as a function of assembled bilayers number, pH value, carrier amount and adsorption time. The maximum adsorption capacity of the modified FPUF was shown to be 54 mg/g for Cu²⁺. Results suggested that the LbL self-assembly could potentially be a promising cost-effective technique for fabricating advanced adsorbent materials for removing pollutants from wastewater.

The Transport of Copper(II) through Hollow Fiber Renewal Liquid Membrane and Hollow Fiber Supported Liquid Membrane

Abstract

In this paper, hollow fiber renewal liquid membrane (HFRLM) and hollow fiber supported liquid membrane (HFSLM) were used to simultaneously remove and recover copper(II) from aqueous solutions, and the transport performance of these two techniques were compared under the similar conditions for the system of CuSO₄ +D2EHPA in kerosene +HCl. The results showed that the HFRLM process was more stable than the HFSLM process. The HFRLM process had a higher overall mass transfer coefficient than that of HFSLM process in single-pass experiments. These were because the renewal effect of the liquid membrane layer could reduce the mass transfer resistance of the lumen side and replenish the loss of the membrane liquid in the HFRLM process. The transport results were better in the HFRLM process than that in the HFSLM process with recycling experiments. Therefore, HFRLM technique is a promising method for simultaneous removal and recovery of heavy metal from aqueous solutions.
