Abstract  

A Sr ion transport study across D2EHPA-TBP kerosene oil based liquid membranes supported on microporous polypropylene film has been performed. The parameters studied were the effect of di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) and TBP concentration variation in the membrane liquid, HNO3 concentration variation in the stripping phase and citric acid concentration variation in the feed solution. The optimum conditions of transport are 0.3 mol/dm3 D2EHPA, 0.1 mol/dm3 TBP, 0.01 mol/dm3 citric acid in feed and 2 mol/dm3 HNO3 in the stripping phase. The mechanism of transport observed is counter-ion coupled transport. The coupling ions are protons. The maximum flux for Sr ion transport observed is 5.33·10–5 mol·m–2·s–1 and maximum permeability under optimum conditions observed is 8.08·10–11 m–2·s–1.
