embrane processes for separation of chemical species from a mixture are gaining in importance and are emerging as a viable alternative to conventional separation processes. The emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) technique was regarded as an emerging separation technology and was extensively examined for potential applications in such fields as hydrometallurgy, environmental engineering, biochemical engineering, pharmaceutical engineering, and food technology. In the present work, the removal of Cerium ions from acidic solution by using an emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) technique was investigated and we obtained > 98% efficiency with the treatment. For the transport of Ce(III) ions using Cyanex 301 as extractant, the effects of extractant and surfactant concentrations, mixing speed, concentration and type of stripping solution, phase ratio, treatment ratio, and nature of diluent on the extraction rate were studies. Under the optimum conditions, solvent extraction and stripping of Ce(III) ions were investigated. |
