Membrane-assisted liquid phase extraction of Lu(III) in U-shaped contactor with a single hollow fibre membrane under recirculation mode of operation by Ksenija R. Kumric, Goran T. Vladisavljevic, Tatjana M. Trtic-Petrovic

“…Extraction of Lu(III) from an aqueous LuCl3 solution at pH 3.5 into an organic phase containing 5% (v/v) di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (DEHPA) in di-n-hexyl ether (DHE) immobilized within a polypropylene hollow fibre membrane and a simultaneous back-extraction of Lu(III) into 2 mol dm-3 HCl solution has been investigated using two miniaturized supported liquid membrane (SLM) systems: (i) a single hollow fibre membrane, with stagnant acceptor phase in the lumen, immersed into a donor phase reservoir; (ii) U-shaped module containing a single hollow fibre membrane with a closed-loop recirculation of aqueous phases through the module. …”
