Makrofol KG microfilters with large pores applied for the separation of two different liquid phases (emulsion)

Makrofol KG nuclear track microfilters have been successfully applied to separate two different and strongly mixed liquid phases (emulsion). The organic and the inorganic phase of the two emulsions used in this work were: (a) 48% tributyl phosphate (TBP) in kerosene and 2 N HNO 3 and (b) 48% TBP in...

Description
Summary:Makrofol KG nuclear track microfilters have been successfully applied to separate two different and strongly mixed liquid phases (emulsion). The organic and the inorganic phase of the two emulsions used in this work were: (a) 48% tributyl phosphate (TBP) in kerosene and 2 N HNO 3 and (b) 48% TBP in kerosene and 13 N HNO 3, respectively. Makrofol KG filters having pore sizes k in the interval of 2.3 ⩽ k ⩽ 8.0 μm were used to get under some well defined conditions a complete extraction of the organic phase out of the first emulsion (a), and filters with a range of pore sizes k of 5.5 ⩽ k ⩽ 10.5 μm were employed to obtain a complete separation of the organic part of the second emulsion (b).
