ABSTRACT
Competitive transport of Zn(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II) ions from aqueous nitrate source phase (cMe = 0.001 M) through polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) containing cellulose triacetate (as support), o-nitrophenyl pentyl ether (as plasticizer) and proton ionizable lariat ether derivatives (as ion carriers) has been investigated. The influence of varying the lipophilicity of sym(R)(hydroxy)dibenzo-16-crown-5 macrocycles with R groups such as hydrogen (in 1), decyl (in 2) and phenyl (in 3) on the selectivity and efficiency of Zn(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II) transport through polymer inclusion membranes is studied. The influence of HLB (hydrophile-lipophile balance) and Vx (molecular volumes) on the transport selectivity of metal ions was investigated. Relationship between the cation size and initial fluxes transport of metal cation was shown. The selectivity coefficients of Pb(II)/Zn(II) and Cd(II)/Zn(II) decrease with increase of carrier concentration in inclusion membrane.
