Facilitated Transport of Americium(III) from Nitric Acid Media using 3-Phenyl-4-Benzoyl-5-Isoxazolone and Tri-N-Octyl Phosphine Oxide in Dodecane as the Carrier
Abstract:Carrier mediated transport of Am(III) was investigated employing flat-sheet supported liquid membrane technique using a mixture of tri-n-octyl phosphine oxide (TOPO) and 3-phenyl-4-benzoyl-5-isoxazolone (HPBI) in dodecane as the carrier. At a fixed concentration of TOPO (0.2 M), the permeability coefficient (P) increased linearly (from 7X10" cm/s to 2.5 X 10"' cm/s) with HPBI concentration (2.41 X 10 ' M to 2.50 X 10"^ M) and remained constant thereafter. The P values tend to vary with the feed acidity as well… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
