A novel device for copper separation and concentration is presented in which light energy was used as driving potential. This was achieved by combining a photo-induced redox reaction to a redox potential-driven, carrier-mediated transport of copper ion through a polymer-supported liquid membrane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
