Abstract

Extraction and transport of mercury in a H 2OCHCl 3H 2O system containing one of several macrocyclic carriers was studied. Improvement of the transport efficiency was effected, leading in some cases to the almost complete removal of the metal from the source phase and the membrane phase. Comparison of the transport of several cations of biological significance with transport experiments performed in the presence of human albumin and/or a culture medium gives results that provide a promising alternative method for removal of mercury from waste waters or in the treatment of accidental intoxications.
