This work presents an experimental investigation and mathematical model of Pb(II) separation and stripping from relatively low-level lead-containing synthetic solutions through a hollow fiber supported liquid membrane (HFSLM) by using di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) in toluene as an extractant or carrier. The separation was studied on several variables: concentration of D2EHPA, types of stripping solutions (distilled water, HNO <inf>3</inf>, H <inf>2</inf>SO <inf>4</inf> and HCl), concentration of the selected stripping solution, flow patterns of feed and stripping solutions, types of lead-containing solutions (Pb(NO <inf>3</inf>) <inf>2</inf> and PbCl <inf>2</inf>), and flow rates of feed and stripping solutions. The results remarkably showed that HFSLM could successfully reduce a very low concentration of Pb(II) in feed solution to less than the regulatory discharge limit of 0.2mg/L issued by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Natural Resource Environment, Thailand. The highest extraction and stripping results were achieved by using 0.03M D2EHPA, 0.9M HCl at equal flow rates of feed and stripping solutions of 100mL/min using a single-pass of feed solution and circulating of stripping solution. High percentages of extraction and stripping were observed from both Pb(NO <inf>3</inf>) <inf>2</inf> and PbCl <inf>2</inf> solutions. The kinetics of Pb(NO <inf>3</inf>) <inf>2</inf> and PbCl <inf>2</inf> separation were corresponded to second-order reaction with the rate constants of 1.49 and 1.51L/mgmin, respectively. The prediction of Pb(II) concentrations in the outlet Pb(NO <inf>3</inf>) <inf>2</inf> and PbCl <inf>2</inf> feed solutions obtaining from mathematical model were in good agreement with the experimental results at the average percent deviations of 4% for Pb(NO <inf>3</inf>) <inf>2</inf> solution and 8% for PbCl <inf>2</inf> solution. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Treatment of arsenic ions from produced water coming along with a gas separation plant in the Gulf of Thailand by hollow fiber supported liquid membrane (HFSLM) was studied. Cyanex® 923 (a mixture of phosphine oxide), tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP), bis(2, 4, 4-trimethylpentyl) dithiophosphinic acid (Cyanex® 301), tri-n-octylamine (TOA) and methyltrioctylammonium chloride (Aliquat 336) were used as the extractants. The stripping solution was sodium hydroxide. The concentration of the extractant in liquid membrane and concentration of sodium hydroxide were examined. In addition, the influence of various numbers of runs of the stripping solution through the HFSLM on the concentration of arsenic ions in the outlet stripping solution was observed. Of all the extractants used, 35% (v/v) Aliquat 336 attained high percentages of extraction and recovery of arsenic ions because it reacted with both undissociated arsenic (H<inf>3</inf>AsO<inf>3</inf>) and dissociated arsenics (H<inf>2</inf>AsO<inf>4</inf>- and HAsO<inf>4</inf>2-). Cyanex® 923, TBP and TOA had low extractability since Cyanex® 923 and TBP reacted only with undissociated forms while TOA reacted only with dissociated forms. In case of Cyanex® 301, although it offered a relatively high percentage of extraction but very poor recovery due to this extractant formed very strong complex species with arsenic ions, which slowed down and made the stripping difficult. It was found that the percentage of arsenic recovery increased with the concentration of sodium hydroxide and was almost constant after 0.5 M due to the limitation of mass transfer area of the hollow fibers. After 3-cycle separation, the extraction and recovery of arsenic ions from produced water were 91% and 72%, respectively. Accordingly, the concentration of arsenic ions of 0.1201 ppm in produced water was observed, which was in accordance with the legislation discharge of industrial effluent in Thailand. More arsenic ions were recovered by increasing the numbers of runs of the recycling stripping solution through the HFSLM. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

High concentration of heavy metal ions in all kinds of effluents, especially in wastewater is of great concern for hazardous pollution due to their high toxicities and wide environmental spreading. The selective stripping or recovery of nickel ions from wastewater of the stainless steel-cold rolled plate process by hollow fiber supported liquid membrane was studied. The optimum conditions were examined in a batch process. The pH of feed, types and concentrations of the extractants, concentration of the stripping solution (sulfuric acid), flow rates of feed and stripping solutions, and volumetric ratio of feed to stripping solutions were investigated. The extractants, i.e., D2EHPA, Cyanex 301, Cyanex 272 and LIX 860-I were dissolved in kerosene as a membrane solution, which was supported by a microporous hydrophobic hollow fiber membrane extractor. Consequently, two consecutive modules of hollow fiber were applied to recover more nickel ions. The results showed that LIX 860-I was the most effective to selectively retrieve nickel ions from wastewater at a feed pH of 4. The percentage of the recovery and selectivity of nickel ions increased in accordance with an increase in the concentration of LIX 860-I and decreased after the concentration of LIX 860-I was higher than 0.8 M. It was found that the percentage of recovery of nickel ions increased with sulfuric acid concentration and lower flow rates of feed and stripping solutions. Higher nickel ions were obtained at the flow rates of feed and stripping solutions of 100 ml/min and reduced when the flow rates increased. In addition, in this study it is recommended to use equal volume of feed and stripping solutions of 3500:3500 (ml:ml) to attain more nickel ions recovery. For a single-module operation, the percentage of recovery of nickel ions was 58%, and 87% by double-module operation. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
