Abstract

The transport of metal ions has been explored of bismuth, cadmium and lead from source solution to receiving phase through the fiber supported solid membrane system. The fibers supported solid membranes were prepared by chemically modification of cellulose fibers with the introducing the ion exchanging groups. The experimental variables explored were concentration of metal ions in the source solution, mixed solvent composition in the receiving phase and stirring speed of the bulk source solution and receiving phase. The efficiency has been evaluated for the transport of metal ions from the source to receiving phase through the fiber supported solid membrane. The pre-concentration was investigated of metal ions from the dilute solutions. The fiber supported solid membrane with two-channel systems had been investigated for the transport of metal ions from the source to receiving phase. The capillary action phenomenon helps to effectively transport the metal ions through the fiber supported solid membrane.
