- Abstract
In this article, we report the efficient removal of arsenic in the form of arsenite (As(III)) from an aqueous solution which was applied on the industrial effluents. A flat-sheet polypropylene-supported liquid membrane (SLM) was clamped between the feed phase and strip phase in a liquid membrane permeator setup using tridodecylamine (TDDA) as carrier for extraction of As(III). We have optimized the reaction in changing different parameters such as metal, acid concentration in feed phase, strip phase concentration, and carrier concentration for the maximum As(III) transport through the SLM. The flux value, time of extraction, the stoichiometry of the complex formed, and membrane stability were also investigated. As a result of different experiments performed, we find the best conditions of 0.1 mol/L of TDDA, 1.0 mol/L of HCl in feed phase at optimum pH 1, and 1.0 mol/L of NaOH in stripping phase for the maximum As(III) removal. The optimized reaction was utilized on effluent collected from different industries. During repeated set of experiments on a single polypropylene membrane, it was found that it could withstand five consecutive experiments. Moreover, as high as 93% of extraction efficiency was achieved in 180 min.
