Abstract
Because of their tendency to accumulate in the body and their highly toxic potential, heavy metal pollution is becoming one of the main problems globally. The presented study examined the likelihood of eliminating heavy metals by means of the Bulk Liquid Membrane (BLM) method, which is a tool of high importance in various applications of such type. BLM is a simple type of liquid membrane which is showing excellent membrane stability yet insignificant solute fluxes. Therefore, this study outlines the BLM’s membrane resistance in removing heavy metals and recovery from the waste-waters. The cadmium (Cd) ions are fully prepared from the acidic aqueous solutions in this study with the use of the BLM. With regard to stirred transfer cell type, an experimental research has examined the recovery and extraction of Cd ions from synthetic wastewater solution via carrier Tri-butyl-phosphate TBP [C12H27O4P] with the use of BLM as an approach of separation. The impact of some parameters such as feed and stripping stirring speed, carrier concentration, membrane stirring speed, initial feed concentration, temperature, feed, and stripping phase pH is assessed for Cd removal. At pH 4 for feed, pH 10 for strip, 10 %(v/v) carrier concentration, 2 ppm initial concentration, 150 rpm,(S:F) = (1:1) in toluene, and the room temperature the maximal efficiency of extraction and stripping of cadmium (II) metal ions was 82 % and 93 %.
