Abstract
A double strip dispersion hybrid liquid membrane (SDHLM) was successfully used in the simultaneous extraction and separation of Cu(II), Zn(II), and Co(II) from Cu-Zn-Co dilute feed phase. In the double SDHLM system, Acorga M5640-loaded membrane was placed between the 1st and the 2nd compartment, whereas the mono(2-ethylhexyl) 2-ethylhexyl phosphonate [HEH(EHP)]-loaded membrane was placed between the 1st and the 3rd compartment of the transport cell. The feed solution was filled in the central feed compartment(1st compartment) of the transport cell. The effect of the different experimental variables on separation was examined. The optimum separation conditions were summarized. An analysis of mass transfer resistances in the double SDHLM system shows that the mass transfer resistance for the diffusion of Zn(II) ions in the microporous membrane phase is dominant and the mass transfer resistances for the diffusion of copper (II) ions in the aqueous boundary layer and in the microporous membrane phase are dominant in comparison with the overall mass transfer resistance. The experiments verify that the double strip dispersion hybrid liquid membrane (SDHLM) possesses the nonequlibrium mass transfer characteristic.
