Abstract
The presence manuscript conducted on lead removal from industrial wastewater using an emulsion liquid membrane method (ELM). The developed ELM consisted of ionic liquid 1-Methyl-3-octylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([OMIM]PF6) in membrane phase is used as a stabilizer to provide sufficient stability of emulsion. Other ingredients for emulsion preparation are solvents (kerosene), surfactant (Span 80), extractant [di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA)], and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as an internal receiving phase. Recently, experiments investigated the parameters' effects on % removal of lead(II) and ELM techniques such as homogenous speed, surfactant and extractant concentrations, internal to membrane phase ratios, agitation speed, treated ratios, pH of external phase, and ([OMIM]PF6) concentrations. At the best conditions, results showed the stabilizing effect of ionic liquid and nanoparticles was sufficient enough for % removal of lead(II) during the first five minutes of the extraction process of therapeutic studies with low turbidity and swelling at the end of experiment.
Biography
Traveled from the East to West to create and help innovate todays world. Everyday is a new challenge, everyday a new door for opportunity to lead the way. As a chemical Engineering student I learned that humans can enhanse their learning ability by surrounding themselves with the smartest people in the room. Good and bad habits are contagious.
