Abstract
A hollow fiber supported liquid membrane module using one single fiber impregnated with a mixture of 1,10-dibenzyl-1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate dissolved in hexylbenzene was used for passive sampling of ppb levels of Pb(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), and Cd(II) in water. The target ions were simultaneously transported and preconcentrated into a citric acid acceptor solution within the lumen of the hollow fiber with enrichment factors between 5 and 4000 times. A multivariate analysis of several physical and chemical parameters that affect transport was performed. Under conditions of constant concentration profiles a more robust performance of the device was observed.
