Abstract:
Water is one of the most essential factors of every being. Aquatic ecosystems are threatened due to the rapidly increasing population growth, technology development, urbanization and economic growth. The increasing of use from metals and chemicals in various industries such as metalworking, mining operations, etc., leading to accumulation of large quantities of Mercury, copper, lead, cadmium, chromium and nickel, including this elements that long-term accumulation in beings bodies cause toxicity and death.That's why a suitable method for isolate the dangerous metals, is vital and important. In recent years the use of membrane processes, especially emulsion liquid membrane to separate chemical elements have been widely used.
The ELM has great potential for recovery and removal of different metal ions.
In the present work, the extraction of copper ions (II) from aqueous solutions using emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) on the basis of response surface experimental design method was studied.D2EHPA / M2EHPA as extractant (carrier), n-hexane as diluent, Span 80 as surfactant and sulfuric acid as strip phase have been used.Effects of different parameters including feed concentration, carrier concentration, surfactant concentration, stirring speed, feed to emulsion ratio and extraction time were investigated and optimized.After carrying of experiments, the function of extraction process behavior was determined in the terms of the main variables.The results showed that the initial concentration of feed, carrier concentration, stirring rate and time extract have the main impacts on the extraction of of copper ions (II).The optimum operating conditions in the view point of percent extraction increase was found as feed concentration 225mgL^(-1), carrier concentration 4 mgL^(-1), the concentration of surfactant 1mgL^(-1), stirring speed 150 rpm, the phase external to emulsion 6 %vol/vol and extraction time 6 min.In this conditions of the separation of copper (II), was measured as %99.5.
