Abstract
A new redox supported liquid membrane (RSLM), consisting of a microporous polypropylene film containing absorbed into its pores an organic solution of a waterinsoluble hydroquinone (electron carrier), has been studied. The hydroquinone used as electron carrier was 2,5-di(tert-pentyl)hydroquinone dissolved in a solvent mixture of diisopropylbenzene, decaline and tributyl phosphate. The ability of the RSLM to transport electrons through it and to perform membrane-controlled oxidation—reduction processes was demonstrated. Some practical applications of the RSLM in controlling the oxidation states of actinides are briefly discussed.
