The present manuscript discusses the removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution using an emulsion ionic liquid membrane (EILM) process. Initially, the emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) was prepared by stirring strip phase (sulphuric acid) and organic phase (surfactant: span 80, extractant: D2EHPA, diluent: hexane) together under high speed agitation. Note that, the parameters of the ELM process such as emulsification speed, pH of the feed phase, treat ratio, extractant and surfactant concentrations were studied for the maximum removal of Pb(II) ions. The role of IL was explored by adding hydrophobic IL, octylmethylimidazole hexafluorophosphine ([OMIM][PF6]), in the organic phase. The performance of ELM with and without IL was compared on the basis of stability, enrichment factor and the removal efficiency for Pb(II). The results showed that the percentage of Pb(II) extraction was complete by the emulsion membrane with IL (EILM) in comparison to the 97% achieved by neat ELM. Further, the stability and the enrichment factor of the EILM were found to be 2-3 times greater than that of the ELM. The FT-IR spectroscopic analysis revealed that bond interactions between IL and membrane phase components avoided the coalescence of internal phase droplets and enhanced the emulsion stability. The results obtained in this work support the use of the IL [OMIM][PF6] as both a stabilizer and carrier for the overall improvement of the ELM process.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">94</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hg_base_secs&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;opt_hg_base_number&quot;&gt;3.289&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raut, Sandesh S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamble, Sanjay P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kulkarni, Prashant S.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Efficacy of zero-valent copper (Cu-0) nanoparticles and reducing agents for dechlorination of mono chloroaromatics</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemosphere</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acidified alcohol</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ChloroAromatics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hydrodechlorination</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NaBH4</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wastewater treatment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zero-valent copper (Cu-0) nanoparticles</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SEP</style></date></pub-dates></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">159</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">359-366</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The zero-valent copper (Cu-0) nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction method. The morphology of nanoparticles was investigated by using X ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X ray, UV-visible spectrophotometer and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analyser. The Cu-0 nanoparticles along with reducing agents, NaBH4/5% acidified alcohol were used for the dechlorination of chloroaromatics at room temperature. Chlorobenzene (Cl-B), chlorotoluene (Cl-T), chloropyridine (Cl-Py) and chlorobiphenyl (Cl-BPh) were selected as the contaminants. The effect of various operating parameters such as pH, concentration of the catalyst and reducing agent (NaBH4), and recycling of the catalyst on dechlorination were studied. Nearly complete dechlorination of all the chloroaromatics were achieved in the presence of Cu-0 nanoparticles (2.5 g L-1) and NaBH4 (1.0 g L-1.) within 12 h. On the contrary, approximately 70% of dechlorination was observed in the presence of 5% acidified alcohol at similar experimental conditions. The dechlorination mechanism highlighted the importance of Cu-0 nanoparticles as a surface mediator. The kinetics of the dechlorination of chloroaromatics was investigated and compared with chloroaliphatics. The dechlorination rate differed from 0.23 h(-1) (Cl-B) to 0.15 h(-1) (Cl-BPh) in the presence of Cu-0 nanoparticles and NaBH4. The effectiveness of Cu nanoparticles with NaBH4 (1 g L-1) and 5% acidified alcohol as electron donors were studied by oxidation-reduction potential and observed to be -1016 mV and -670 mV, respectively. Final products of the dechlorination were benzene, toluene, pyridine and biphenyl, as identified by gas chromatograph mass spectrometer and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
