Abstract
This work presents the influence of water pH on the stability of supported liquid membrane (SLM) regards its mutual solubility. For the solubility experiments, both liquid–liquid binary and ternary systems are studied in different water pH (2.0, 7.0, and 13.0) at 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure. In the organic phase, tri-n-octylamine (TOA) combined with various organic solvents is used; adjusted pH water is used in the aqueous phase. Results demonstrate that, in the organic phase, basic water reveals the least solubility. Data correlation utilizing the NRTL model fitted in well with the experimental data as validated by < 5% RMSD. For the interaction molecular study of the involved molecules, density function theory (DFT) is carried out. Application of the hollow fiber-supported liquid membrane (HFSLM) shows that stability is affected by the solubility of different pH water. It is noted that the basic-based feed provides the longest stability, which is consistent with the solubility results.
期刊介绍:
The Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering provides a global forum for the dissemination of research in chemical engineering. The Journal publishes significant research results obtained in the Asia-Pacific region, and simultaneously introduces recent technical progress made in other areas of the world to this region. Submitted research papers must be of potential industrial significance and specifically concerned with chemical engineering. The editors will give preference to papers having a clearly stated practical scope and applicability in the areas of chemical engineering, and to those where new theoretical concepts are supported by new experimental details. The Journal also regularly publishes featured reviews on emerging and industrially important subjects of chemical engineering as well as selected papers presented at international conferences on the subjects.
