Extraction of lactic acid by emulsion liquid membrane technology (ELM) using n-trioctyl amine (TOA) in n-heptane as carrier within the organic membrane along with sodium carbonate as acceptor phase was optimized by using response surface methodology (RSM). A three level Box-Behnken design was employed for experimental design, analysis of the results and to depict the combined effect of five ind...

ecotoxicity of rhodium (rh) from the model of mining waste water side stream was examinedin this paper. rh was extracted from the model of the mining waste water using an emulsion liquid membrane(elm). the extractions were done at ph of 1.87 and ph 2.92 and 41.6 % and 46.2 % of rh was extractedrespectively. the side streams of ph of 1.87 and ph 2.92 after the extractions were examined for ecoto...

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...

The selective separation of aromatics (benzene, toluene and p-xylene, BTX) from aliphatic (n-heptane) is investigated using simple permeation and facilitated transport emulsion liquid membrane mechanism. The separation performances, represented by the permeation rate and separation factor, are analyzed systematically by varying the operating parameters. One of the major obstacles to the applica...

The percentage removal of phenol from aqueous solution by emulsion liquid membrane and emulsion leakage was investigated experimentally for various parameters such as membrane: internal phase ratio, membrane: external phase ratio, emulsification speed, emulsification time, carrier concentration, surfactant concentration and internal agent concentration. These parameters strongly influence the p...

High molecular weight amines, quaternary salts etc. have the potential of removing heavy metal ions including the toxic ones at low concentrations. In the present work an attempt has been made to extract Cr(VI) through emulsion liquid surfactant membrane (or, emulsion liquid membrane-ELM) from it’s acidic solution using alamine-336 and caustic soda as extractant and striping reagents respective...

Emulsion Liquid Membrane (ELM) is an emerging technology that removes contaminants from water and industrial wastewater. This study investigated the stability extraction efficiency of ELM for removal Chlorpyrifos Pesticide (CP) The was studied in terms emulsion breakage. proposed included n-hexane as a diluent, span-80 surfactant, hydrochloric acid (HCl) stripping agent. Parameters such mixing ...
