Abstract

The transport of phenol across supported liquid membranes (SLM) containing eugenol crosslinked with either divinyl benzene (DVB) or diallyl phthalate (DAF) as carrier molecules was described. In this research, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) membranes were utilized as the membrane support, and the use of 10% copoly(eugenol-DVB) and 10% copoly(eugenol-DAF) as a carrier was investigated. Various factors influencing the transport process, including the pH of the source phase, receiving phase concentration, immersion time, carrier concentration, and transport time, were also examined. The results demonstrated that SLM membranes containing polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as a supporting polymer and 10% copoly(eugenol-DAF) as a compound exhibited optimal phenol transport under specific conditions: source phase pH of 6.5, receiving phase NaOH concentration of 0.1 M, immersion time of 90 minutes, carrier concentration of 0.015 M, and a transport time of 15 hours. Similarly, the transport of phenol using a 10% copoly(eugenol-DVB) carrier achieved successful results under the following optimal conditions: source phase pH of 6.5, receiving phase NaOH concentration of 0.1 M, immersion time of 60 minutes, carrier concentration of 0.01 M, and a phenol transport time of 18 hours.
