M. Shamsipur et M. Akhond, HIGHLY EFFICIENT AND SELECTIVE-MEMBRANE TRANSPORT OF SILVER(I) ION BYA COOPERATIVE CARRIER COMPOSED OF AZA-18-CROWN-6 AND PALMITIC ACID, Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 70(2), 1997, pp. 339-343
A given mixture of aza-18-crown-6 and plamitic acid was found to be an
excellent cooperative carrier for the efficient transport of Ag+ ions
through a bulk liquid membrane. In the presence S2O32- ion, as a suit
able metal ion acceptor in the receiving phase, the amount of silver t
ransported across the liquid membrane after 90 min was 93.6+/-1.5%. Th
e selectivity and efficiency of silver transport from aqueous solution
s containing other cations such as Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+,
and Fe2+ ions were investigated. In the presence of diphosphate as a
suitable masking agent in the source phase, the interfering effect of
Cd2+ ion was eliminated.
