Selective and Efficient Ligandless Water-in-Oil Emulsion Liquid Membrane Transport of Thorium(IV) Ions

selective and efficient ligandless water-in-oil emulsion liquid membrane transport of thorium(iv) ions

the present paper concerns on the selective and very efficient transport of thorium(iv) ions from aqueous solutions through an emulsion liquid membranes composed by paraffin and a surfactant, without carrier requirement. the influence of ph of the external aqueous phase, the surfactant concentration in the membrane phase, the type, and concentration of the acid used in the receiving phase, the ...

Extraction of Silver Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Emulsion Liquid Membrane

A comprehensive study pertaining to the emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) extraction process to enrich dilute aqueous solutions of silver salt is presented. The study has highlighted the importance and influence of membrane composition for maximizing the extraction of Ag+ ions. The liquid membrane was made up of Cyanex-302 as an extractant and the industrial solvent mainly consists of p...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Removal of copper ions from a waste mine water by a liquid emulsion membrane method

This is a communication on the removal of copper(II) ions from a residual mine water using an emulsified liquid membrane (ELM). The membrane was prepared by dissolving the extractant LIX-860 (a salicylaldoxime), used as a mobile carrier, and Span80, a surfactant, in kerosene. The ELM allowed an efficient metal transport from the feed solution towards the strip liquor, in experiments carried out...

Selective Transport of Propylene by Silver Ion Complex Through an Immobilized Liquid Membrane

Combined transport of water and ions through membrane channels.

The coupling of ion and water flow through membrane channels is under dispute. Among all human aquaporins only aquaporin-6 exhibits ion channel activity. Whether aquaporin-6 functions also as a water channel cannot yet be determined with confidence. Similarly, a comparison of single-channel water permeabilities from ion channels and aquaporins suggests that ion channels may play a secondary rol...
