Abstract

Non-toxic diluents were studied and compared with toxic diluents for separation of platinum(IV) across hollow fiber supported liquid membrane. 91.41% extraction and 81% stripping of platinum(IV) was observed for sunflower oils at 328.15 K. Overall mass transfer resistance (R) was 146.612 × 104 s/cm. The separation process was exothermic (ΔHex0 = −975.20 kJ/mol) and spontaneous (ΔGex0 = −326.447 J/mol). The Ea of 1.673 kJ/mol indicated that the diffusion of complex species across the liquid membrane controlled the mass transfer step. Moreover, a modified Apelblat model gave an excellent match for predicting the extraction behavior of platinum(IV) at 1.2818% RMSD.
