Recovery and Concentration of Metal-Ions .2. Multimembrane Hybrid System
The multimembrane hybrid system (MHS) has been developed and used for the transportation and separation of divalent metal ions from multicomponent solutions. The system consists of three membranes in series ion-exchange membrane liquid membrane ion-exchange membrane The experiments were performed with liquid membranes composed of di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid in kerosene and Nafion-120 perfluorosulfonic acid polymer membranes. The fluxes and separation characteristics have been determined for MHS separating a solution of Zn(II), Mn(II), Cu(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) sulfates as the feed phase, and the strip phase containing sulfuric acid. The results of competitive permeation experiments have shown the selectivity order Zn(II) > Mn(II) > Cu(II) much greater than Co(II), Ni(II). High separation coefficients were found for Zn(II), Cu(II), and Mn(II) compared to Ni(II) and Co(II).
