NICKEL TRANSFER AND SELECTIVE TRANSPORT THROUGH WEAK ACID ION-EXCHANGE MEMBRANE BASED ON POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE)/POLY(METHYLMETHACRYLATE-CO-DIVINYLBENZENE) SYSTEM

摘要

The transport of nickel and copper through a carboxylic ion-exchange membrane was investigated by using a system containing HCl as a receiver solution and nickel chloride or copper chloride as a feed solution. The transfer rate was found to be greatly affected by the H+ concentration in the receiver solution and metals concentration in the feed solution. The rate of transfer for nickel was about 60% higher than that of copper under the same experimental conditions (0.5M HCl as a receiver solution, 0.1M feed solution, and 5 h dialysis time).
