Mathematical Modeling of Chromium(Ш) Extraction by Emulsion Liquid Membrane

Abstract:

Advancing front model, carrier-facilitated transfer model and reversible reaction model were applied to simulate extracting chromium (Ш) from wastewater by emulsion liquid membrane using di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid as carrier and Span-80 as surfactant. Parameters of the mathematic models were gained from the designed experiments, and the reversible reaction model can be used with a reasonably accuracy as estimates of chromium (Ш) permeation. The experimental results demonstrate that the role of reversibility of the chemical reaction between internal phase and membrane phase should be considered, and the diffusion resistance is the primary resistance of the mass transfer process.
