Transesterification of alpha-haloesters was achieved by reaction of alcohols in the presence of Mg-Al-HT-like anionic clays. beta-Ketoesters were also transesterified under similar conditions on reaction with alcohols with a wide variety of functional groups.

A novel idea of transport of yttrium (III) metal ions through fibers supported liquid membrane in two stage processes namely source to membrane and membrane to receiving phase has been proposed. The fibers supported liquid membrane was impregnated with different concentrations carrier. The experimental variables explored were concentration of yttrium (III) ions, pH of source phase, PC-88A concentration in membrane phase, acid concentration in receiving phase and stirring speed. The pre-concentration of yttrium MO ions was investigated from the dilute solutions. The two-channel fibers supported liquid membrane solvent extraction was investigated for the transport of yttrium (III) ions from the source to membrane and membrane to receiving phase. The transport of yttrium (III) ions was observed through the fibers supported liquid membrane with capillary action.

Transport studies were carried out for carbonate ions through supported liquid membrane (SLMs) by sing Alamine 336 and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) as carriers. Experimental variables were investigated, such as concentration of carbonate ion (10(-5) to 4 x 10(-2) M), carriers (10(-5) to 10(-1) M), and alkali (0.01-0.5); and stirring speed (50-50 rpm) of bulk solutions. The use of combined carriers Alamine 336 and TOPO shows a synergic transport of carbonate ions. The stability of the SLM system in relation to the transport of carbonate ions has been studied. The enrichment of carbonate ions (10(-6) to 4 x 10(-2) M) from the dilute solution was explored. The different combinations of amines with TOPO show synergic permeability of the carbonate ions through SLM system.

The transport of metal ions of indium, gallium and thallium from source solution to receiving phase through the chromatographic fiber supported solid membrane in the acetylacetone (HAA) containing mixed solvent system has been explored. The fibers supported solid membranes were prepared with chemical synthesis from cellulose fibers and citric acid with the carboxylic acid ion exchange groups introduced. The experimental variables, such as concentration of metal ions (10(-2) to 10(-4) mol.L(-1)) in the source solution, mixed solvent composition [for example, acetylacetone, (2,4-pentanedione), (HAA) 20\% (by volume), 1,4-dioxane 10\% to 60\% and HCl 0.25 to 2 mol.L(-1)] in the receiving phase and stirring speed (50-130 r.min(-1)) of the bulk source and receiving phase, were explored. The efficiency of mixed solvents for the transport of metal ions from the source to receiving phase through the fiber supported solid membrane was evaluated. The combined ion exchange solvent extraction (CIESE) was observed effective for the selective transport of thallium, indium and gallium metal ions through fiber supported solid membrane in mixed solvents. The oxonium salt formation in the receiving phase enhances thallium, indium and gallium metal ion transport through solid membrane phase. The selective transport of thallium metal ions from source phase was observed from indium and gallium metal ions in the presence of hydrochloric acid in organic solvents in receiving phase. The separation of thallium metal ions from the binary mixtures of Be(II), Ti(IV), Al(III), Ca(II), Mg(II), K (I), La(III) and Y(III) was carried out in the mixed solvent system using cellulose fiber supported solid membrane.

A novel cation exchange fiber supported solid membrane was developed for transport of cobalt, manganese and nickel metal ions. Fiber supported solid membrane was prepared by chemically modifying the cellulose fibers with citric acid. In the fiber supported solid membrane, the diffusion by capillary action by keeping the liquid phase in the porous solid fiber and ion exchange mechanism were used for the effective transport of metal ions. The experimental variables examined were concentration of metal ions (10(-2) to 10(-4) mol L-1) in the source solution, mixed solvent composition (phi = 20 \% TBP, acetone or tetrahydrofuran or 1,4-dioxane or methanol or ethanol or 2-propanol 10 to 60 \% and HCl (1 to 2 mol L-1) in the receiving phase and stirring speed (40-120 rpm) of the bulk source and receiving phase.
