Abstract

ABSTRACT Application of extractants in form of microphase (micelles or microdrops) separated from aqueous matrix by microfiltration, “solvent extraction enhanced microfiltration (SEEMF)” is closely related to micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) technique. Uptake of strontium from aqueous solutions with microphase di-2-ethylhexylphosphoric acid (DEHPA) and pertechnetate with quaternary ammoniumsalts (QAS): trioctylmethylammonium chloride, benzyldodecyl-dimethylammonium bromide, and n-(α-carbethoxypenthadecyl)trimetyl-ammonium chloride was investigated as a function of microphase concentration and composition, pH and salinity of aqueous phase. Recovery of microfiltration on cellulose acetate 200 nm filters reached 95% for strontium with 4×10−3 M DEHPA and 99% for technetium with 10−4 M trioctyl-methylammonium chloride. A substantial part of 88-99% retention of technetium with investigated quaternary ammonium salts on microfilter may be caused by the filter wetting or sorption phenomena.
