Abstract

ABSTRACT The selective transport of Ni(II) to Cd(II) through simultaneously liquid membrane technique has been investigated. The cell membrane was made by mixturing Ni(II) and Cd(II) ions at concentration as 3.41x10-4 M and 1.78x10-4 M respectively as source phase, oxine in chloroform as membrane phase and Na2EDTA solution as receiving phase. Concentration of recidual Ni(II) and Cd(II) ions in source phase transported to receiving phase was measured by Atomic Absortion Spectrofotometry (AAS). The results showed the at optimum condition of Ni(II) and Cd(II) transport occurred at source phase of pH 7, oxine concentration 0.001 M in chloroform and 0.04 M Na2EDTA solution pH 7. In this condition, Ni(II) and Cd(II) transport selectivity was found 80.89%. From the experiment, it was found that the transport rate constant from source phase to membrane phase (k1) for Ni(II) (0.7544 per hour) smaller than Cd(II) (1.3800 per hour ), on the other hand the transport rate constant from membrane phase to receiving phase (k2) Ni(II) (2.7580 per hour) greater than Cd(II) (1.3790 per hour). The phase-to-phase transport of Ni(II) and Cd(II) was consecutive first order reaction. Keywords : bulk liquid membrane, oxine, technique
