Abstract

In this study, regenerated cellulose membrane was used as a filter in liquid-phase polymer-based retention technique. The poly(4-vinyl-1-methylpyridinium bromide), P(BrVMP), was used as extracting reagent of As(V). The role of pH, polymer:As(V) molar ratio, and influence of regenerated cellulose membrane were investigated by washing method. It was observed that the efficient retention was obtained at pH 9 with 20:1 polymer:As molar ratio and it was about 100 % at Z = 10 for P(BrVMP). Experimental data showed that the regenerated cellulose membrane, compared to poly(ethersulfone) membrane, has a capacity to interact with As(V). The maximum retention capacity of P(BrVMP) was determined by enrichment method, and then, using alternately washing and enrichment methods, the charge–discharge process and recovery of P(BrVMP) were performed.
