摘要
Membrane based non-dispersive solvent extraction (NDSX) of U(VI) from aqueous nitric acid medium was carried out using a commercial hollow fibre module containing microporous hydrophobic polypropylene capillaries. The NDSX operation was carried out by pumping U(VI) solutions at varying concentrations of nitric acid (1-5 M) through the tube side and organic solvent (di-n-hexyl octanamide (DHOA) in normal paraffin hydrocarbon (NPH)) through the shell side of the hollow fibre capillaries. Extraction studies were performed under different hydrodynamic conditions and the overall mass transfer was evaluated under counter-current flow conditions. Counter-current mode was found to be better as compared to the co-current mode. The U(VI) mass transfer rates were positively influenced by the nitric acid as well as DHOA concentrations.
