For the purpose of development of a liquid membrane permeator which separates metal ions from aqueous solutions continuously and effectively, a continuous membrane permeator with the membrane solution trapped between extraction and stripping phases by two micro-porous hydrophilic films was manufactured. Experimental researches on the separation of zinc ion from aqueous solutions were performed in the liquid membrane permeator with 30 vol % D2EHPA solution in kerosine as liquid membrane. As results, the liquid membrane permeator separates zinc ion from aqueous solutions continuously and effectively in the wide range of operating conditions. A simple mass transfer rate model using equilibrium constant of the extraction reaction for the system used were proposed, and the model was compared with experimental results of separation of zinc ion in the permeator. And the effects of operating factors, such as space time, pH of extraction solution, extraction temperature, on the separation rate of zinc ion in the permeator were experimentally examined.

Separation of strontium ion from synthetic seawater in the contained liquid membrane permeator with two micro-porous films was performed. The permeator consisted of a liquid membrane and two cells for aqueous solutions. The liquid membrane consisted of $D_2EHPA(di-2-ethylhexy1-phosphoric acid)$ and DCH18C6 (dicyclohexano-18-crown-6),diluted to 30 vol% with kerosine and was trapped between two micro-porous hydrophilic films. This liquid membrane separated two aqueous solutions, one of which was synthetic seawater and the other of which was the stripping solutions consisting of 1mol/L $H_2SO_4$ solution. The effects of various operating parameters on the extraction rate and equilibrium extraction ratio of strontium ion from synthetic seawater were experimentally examined. The addition of DCH18C6 to the $D_2EHPA$ solution caused synergy effect on the extraction of strontium ion. The permeator extracted strontium ion from synthetic seawater effectively with high membrane life time.
