The liquid membrane transport of Mo(VI) from an acidic solution into an alkaline stripping solution was carried out by using a mobile carrier, 5,8-diethyl-7-hydroxy-dodecan-6-one oxime (LIX 63). Further transport of MoO42- from the alkaline solution was performed by using another carrier, trioctylmethylammonium chloride (TOMAC). Molybdenum(VI) was effectively transported through double membranes composed of LIX 63/dilute NaOH solution/TOMAC from a feed solution (10(-3) M HNO3) into a product solution (1 M NaOH). Molybdenum(VI) was concentrated with high recovery into a small volume of product solution. The separation of Mo(VI) from several ions was performed by means of the double membranes.
