    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.

    Separation of As(III) and As(V) ions from sulphate media by hollow fiber supported liquid membrane has been examined. Cyanex 923 was diluted in toluene and used as an extractant. Water was used as a stripping solution. The extractability of As(V) was higher than As(III). When the concentration of sulphuric acid in feed solution and Cyanex 923 in liquid membrane increased, more arsenic ions were extracted into liquid membrane and recovered into the stripping solution. The mathematical model was focused on the extraction side of the liquid membrane system. The mass transfer coefficients of the aqueous phase (k <inf>i</inf> ) and organic phase (k <inf>m</inf> ) are 7.15×10 <sup>-3</sup> and 3.45×10<sup>-2</sup> cm/s for As(III), and 1.07×10<sup>-2</sup> and 1.79×10<sup>-2</sup> cm/s for As(V). Therefore, the rate-controlling step for As(III) and As(V) in liquid membrane process is the mass transfer in the aqueous film between the feed solution and liquid membrane. The calculated mass transfer coefficients agree with the experimental results. © 2008 Springer.
