An experimental investigation of chromium(VI), zinc(II), and cadmium(II) ions removal from acidic chloride aqueous solutions by polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) transport with basic ion carriers, i.e. 4-(1'-n-tridecyl)pyridine N-oxide (TDPNO) and tri-n-octylamine (TOA) is presented. The initial fluxes of all metal ions are higher for the less basic carrier, i.e. TDPNO. On the other hand, the more basic carrier, i.e. TOA gives higher Cr(VI)/Cd(II) and Cr(VI)/Zn(II) selectivity coefficients. Also the application of PIM transport process for removal of 99% chromium(VI) from galvanic waste waters is shown.
