Ekstraksi ion krom dalam asam nitrat dengan teknologi membran cair untuk limbah industri penyamakan kulit

The objective of the research was to use of liquid membrane emulsion technique for the extraction of chrom in the nitrate acid solution. The liquid membrane phase as emulsion consists of kerosene as the solvent, sorbitan monooleat (span-80) as the surfactant, trioktil amin, as the carrier, natrium hidroksida as the internal phase. The optimum conditions obtained for making membrane, the liquid membrane phase was consists of organic phase (O), the internal liquid phase (W) with the ratio of O/W = 1, the concentration sorbitan monooleat (span-80) in the membrane phase was 4%(v/v), the optimum time to achieve a emulsion was 5 minutes, the rate of stirring for membrane 8000 rpm. The optimum conditions obtained for extraction chrom ion as of chrom nitrate from solution with percentage of liquid membrane extraction used of 97,8% and the percentage of liquid membrane extraction used of 97,8% and the percentage of liquid-liquid extraction of 81,24% were as follow : the concentration of nitric acid in external phase was 3M, the concentration of tri oktil amin in the membrane phase was 5% (v/v), the concentration of natrium hidroksida in internal phase was 1% (v/v), the extraction time was 15 minutes and volume ratio of membrane phase and external phase was 1 : 3. The addition of Fe and Zn ions solution decreased the percent extraction of chrom ion.
