Jp. Shukla et al., SELECTIVE UPHILL TRANSPORT OF PLUTONIUM(IV) MEDIATED BY ALIQUAT-336 THROUGH A POLYMER-IMMOBILIZED LIQUID MEMBRANE, Radiochimica Acta, 72(4), 1996, pp. 189-193
The present paper describes the results obtained in a new system for c
arrier-mediated uphill transport of Pu(IV) from an aqueous nitrate sol
ution through a polymer-immobilized liquid membrane (PILM) containing
aliquat-336 as a mobile carrier as a function of critical parameters s
uch as feed acidity, carrier concentration in the membrane, initial pe
rmeant concentration, effect of oxalate ions in source phase, and the
nature and concentration of the strippants.
