Abstract
This work presents the elimination of arsenic from petroleum produced water via hollow fiber membrane contactor (HFMC). Results demonstrate that the extractability of arsenic is successfully achieved through the blended extractants of Aliquat 336 + Cyanex 921 suggesting the occurrence of synergism. Under optimum conditions, the extraction and stripping of arsenic achieved 94.42% and 78.90%, respectively. Slope analysis is applied to determine the stoichiometric coefficients of synergistic interplay. Both kinetics and mathematical modelling are employed to describe the behaviors arising in the HFMC system. It is seen that chemical reactions proved to govern the transportation of arsenic across HFMC. Besides, a novel approach as regards reaction mechanisms in a binary system is adopted.
