Mathematical modeling of facilitated transport of Fe(III) using Cyanex 923 through supported liquid membrane

One of the most significant challenges facing environmentalist worldwide is the treatment and recovery of substances in aquatic environments. In this present, the transport of Fe(III) ions across a flat sheet supported liquid membrane immersed in Cyanex 923 as an extractant was predicted using a mathematical modeling. In order to establish certain fundamental parameters of the mathematical assessment for the mass transfer procedure, solvent extraction experiments were conducted on ferric ions under a variety of experimental conditions. The development of models is regulated by Fick's law of diffusion, which makes it easier for metal ions to diffuse across supported liquid membranes. It has been expected that a number of factors, including feed acidity and variations in ligand concentration, will have an effect on the transport rate of ferric ions.
