  In the current study, the removal efficiency of mercury in presence of cobalt was examined through the hollow fiber supported liquid membrane unit. The micro-porous polypropylene supported material was impregnated by Aliquat 336 (Tri-octyl-methyl-ammonium chloride) where toluene was used as a diluting agent. The experiments were carried under 25°C temperature and 1 atmospheric pressure. The feed solution was maintained at pH level lower than equal to 1.5 and the stripping agent i.e. thiourea solution was maintained at pH level greater than equal to 3.0. The mercury concentration (ppb) was analyzed by using HydrEA HS6 (I) analyzer. The data obtained in the present study showed that the increase in the concentration of cobalt till the same concentration of mercury in feed solution enhances the percentage removal of mercury. The most favorable value for the ionic liquid concentration within.. View More»
