Abstract
Many industrial wastewaters contain toxic metals such as zinc, chromium, cobalt in the form of fluorides and nitrates as anions. Transport of Zn2+ from simulated industrial wastewater was studied using di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) diluted in kerosene as the organic phase. The hollow fibre supported liquid membrane was operated in continuous recycle mode. Effect of feed phase pH, carrier concentration, sulphuric acid concentration in the strip phase, and flow rate on Zn2+ transport was examined. The feed phase pH was varied in the range of 1.5–2.5. The organic phase concentration was varied in the range of 10-30 %. At the feed phase pH of 2, the extraction rates were found to be high. About 12% rise in mass transfer flux of Zn2+ ions was observed with an increase in D2EHPA concentration from 10% to 20%. The mass transfer flux of Zn2+ ions was found to be increased by 28% with an increase in sulphuric acid concentration from 0.5 M to 1 M. The flow rate variation study suggests that mass transfer resistance is mainly contributed by diffusion mechanism through the membrane.Downloads
