Abstract:
The present study introduces the process performances of nitrophenols pertraction using new liquid supported membranes under the action of a magnetic field. The membrane system is based on the dispersion of silver-iron oxide nanoparticles in n-alcohols supported on hollow microporous polypropylene fibers. The iron oxide-silver nanoparticles are obtained directly through cyclic voltammetry electrolysis run in the presence of soluble silver complexes ([AgCl2]-; [Ag(S2O3)2]3-; [Ag(NH3)2]+) and using pure iron electrodes. The nanostructured particles are characterized morphologically and structurally by scanning electron microscopy (SEM and HFSEM), EDAX, XRD, and thermal analysis (TG, DSC). The performances of the nitrophenols permeation process are investigated in a variable magnetic field. These studies show that the flux and extraction efficiency have the highest values for the membrane system embedding iron oxide-silver nanoparticles obtained electrochemically in the presence of [Ag(NH3)2]+ electrolyte. It is demonstrated that the total flow of nitrophenols through the new membrane system depends on diffusion, convection, and silver-assisted transport.
