Kinetic studies on sorption of ni(ii) and cd(ii) from chloride solutions using selected acidic cation exchangers

Sorption of nickel(II) and cadmium(II) ions from chloride solutions was tested. Three different strongly acidic cation exchangers, i.e. Lewatit MonoPlus SP 112, Amberlite 200C and Amberlyst 15, were used. Effects of phase contact time, pH and initial concentration of metal ions on equilibrium and kinetics of sorption by batch methods were studied. It was showed that sorption of Ni(II) and Cd(II) could be described by the pseudo-second order equation. Experimental results data were analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Sorption of Ni(II) and Cd(II) onto investigated resins followed the Langmuir isotherm

Separation of Ni(II) and Cd(II) Ions with Supported Liquid Membranes (SLM) using D2EHPA as a Carrier

<div><p>Separation of nickel(II) and cadmium(II) ions from sulphate solution with use of supported liquid membranes (SLM) has been studied. Di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) dissolved in kerosene was used as the ion carrier. Obtained data were compared with data from polymer inclusion membranes (PIM) experiments. It was shown that use of SLM membranes enables separation of Ni(II) and Cd(II) ions. Experimental results data show that faster transport and higher recovery factor values were obtained for supported liquid membranes.</p></div
