SIMULATION FOR SYNERGISTIC EXTRACTION OF NEODYMIUM IONS WITH HOLLOW FIBER SUPPORTED LIQUID MEMBRANE

Konaem Wasamon, Kittisupakorn Paisan


The modeling of neodymium ions extraction from the mixture of D2EHPA and TOPO by the hollow fiber supported liquid membrane has been studied. The system is operated in an once-through-mode and H2SO4 is used as stripping solution. Mathematical models have been developed based on a fluid-flow model including the term of axial convection, axial diffusion, chemical reaction at the feed-liquid membrane and accumulation of neodymium ions. The models are solved by a finite difference method on the MATLAB software.
