Abstract

The removal of cadmium, copper and chromium ions was carried in a phase transfer reactor using W/O(water in oil) microemulsion containing sodium di[2-ethylhexyl] sulfosuccinate(AOT) and isooctane system. Removal efficiencies and mass transfer rate of $Cd^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$ and $Cr^{3+}$ were increasing with increasing pH of aqueous solution. However, $Cr^{6+}$ was not extracted by W/O microemulsion with AOT/isooctane system. It was found that removal of heavy metal ions were required an attractive electrostatic interaction between the metal ions and W/O microemulsion. The relationship between mass transfer rate. Jo of $Cd^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$ and $Cr^{3+}$ and pH of aqueous solution by W/O microemulsion suggested.

음이온계면활성제인 sodium di[2-ethylhexyl] sulfosuccinate(AOT)를 isooctane에 용해하여 조제한 W/O형 마이크로에멀젼을 이용하여 수용액중의 카드뮴, 구리 및 크롬 등의 중금속이온을 조작이 간단하고 효과적이며 대량으로 분리처리할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. $Cd^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$$Cr^{3+}$는 W/O형 마이크로에멀젼에 의한 분리 후 3~7분 후에 평형에 도달하였고, 분리율과 분리속도는 수용액의 pH가 증가할수록 증가하였으며 $Cr^{6+}$ 는 전 pH 영역에서 분리제거가 되지 않았다. pH 3.5에서 $Cr^{3+}$는 5분 후에 90%이상 제거되었다. 분리속도식은 유사1차식으로 나타낼 수 있으며, 초기 물질전달계수(Jo)와 수용액 pH의 상관관계를 제시하였다.
