Abstract

HNO₃ transport across tri-n-butyl phosphate kerosene oil supported liquid membrane with or without uranyl ion transport has been studied. Parameters studied are the effect of TBP in the membrane, nitric acid in the feed solution and nitrate ion concentration in the feed solution. The flux of protons for 1 to 10 mol·dm^–3 HNO₃ solution is in the range of (0–25)·10^–4 mol·m^–2·s^–1 and for the TBP concentration range of 0.359 to 3.59 mol·dm^–3, the flux determined is (8.9 to 22)·10^–4 mol·m^–2·s^–1. From the experimental data and using theoretical equations the complex under transport through the membrane appears to be 2TBP·HNO₃ both in the presence and absence of uranyl ions. The diffusion coefficient for H⁺ ions through the membrane as a function of TBP concentration varies from (53 to 6)·10^–12 m²·s^–1, based on experimental flux and permeability data. The values of this coefficient supposing 2TBP·HNO₃ as diffusing species, based on viscosity data and theoretical estimation varies from (82.50 to 3.30)·10^–12 m²·s^–1. The value of distribution coefficient varies in the reverse direction from 0.06 to 1.46 at the same TBP concentration.
