Abstract
Transport of La, Nd, Eu, Tb, Tm and Lu through a supported liquid membrane (SLM) was investigated by using di(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid (DTMPPA) as a mobile carrier. Lanthanoid elements in the feed solution were quantitatively transported and concentrated into the product solution of mild acidity. The transport rates increased with increasing atomic number of lanthanoids in the low pH region of the feed solution. Separation factors evaluated from the transport rates for lanthanoids were close to those from the distribution ratios in liquid-liquid extraction.
