Concentration of zinc ions in perchlorate medium by a menbrane-gel using an acid extractant (DEHPA)

Abstract

Abstract. Recent decades, it is an awareness of the importance of ecological balance in the environment, balances threatened by industrial pollution. A new spirit presides we seek to minimize pollution of receiving waters. The present work is to study the liquid-gel-extraction of zinc ions in perchlorate medium by an acid extractant: the di (ethyl-2 hexyl) phosphorique acid, or DEHPA. Two types of polymers were used as supports of solvent extraction: a polybutadiene rubber cross-linked respectively with 0.1% dicumyl peroxide and 0.4% dicumyl peroxide, vulcanized at 160°C, one is most cross-linked than the other. The liquid-gel extraction is based on the principles of the liquid-liquid extraction.
