Abstract
The toxicity and carcinogenic effect of many drugs including antibiotics have brought up an environmental worry in the recent years. The current study examined a green emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) as an environmentally-friendly method for extracting Vancomycin antibiotic from its aqueous solutions. The main value of the idea is to reduce environmental risks of employing common unsafe organic solvents applied as diluent in the ELM process. For this purpose, the raw sunflower oil was employed to prepare ELM. An organic phase including the sunflower oil (diluents), Span 80 (emulsifier) and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) carrier was mixed with internal aqueous phase (stripping phase) containing NaOH. The results confirmed that almost 100% of Vancomycin was successfully extracted at the optimum conditions affecting parameters for preparing the membrane. The extraction percentage and emulsion stability was acceptable for the feeds with wide range of pH from 5-9 and NaCl concentration from 0-5 g/L. Also, a recovery percent of around 70% was achieved for the captured Vancomycin when the emulsion was broken.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Membrane Science and Research (JMSR) is an Open Access journal with Free of Charge publication policy, which provides a focal point for academic and industrial chemical and polymer engineers, chemists, materials scientists, and membranologists working on both membranes and membrane processes, particularly for four major sectors, including Energy, Water, Environment and Food. The journal publishes original research and reviews on membranes (organic, inorganic, liquid and etc.) and membrane processes (MF, UF, NF, RO, ED, Dialysis, MD, PV, CDI, FO, GP, VP and etc.), membrane formation/structure/performance, fouling, module/process design, and processes/applications in various areas. Primary emphasis is on structure, function, and performance of essentially non-biological membranes.
