Abstract
Waste electrical and electronic equipment or e-waste has recently emerged as a significant global concern. This waste contains various valuable metals, and via recycling, it could become a sustainable resource of metals (viz. copper, silver, gold, and others) while reducing reliance on virgin mining. Copper and silver with their superior electrical and thermal conductivity have been reviewed due to their high demand. Recovering these metals will be beneficial to attain the current needs. Liquid membrane technology has appeared as a viable option for treating e-waste from various industries as a simultaneous extraction and stripping process. It also includes extensive research on biotechnology, chemical and pharmaceutical, environmental engineering, pulp and paper, textile, food processing, and wastewater treatment. The success of this process depends more on the selection of organic and stripping phases. In this review, the use of liquid membrane technology in treating/recovering copper and silver from industrial e-waste leached solutions was highlighted. It also assembles critical information on the organic phase (carrier and diluent) and stripping phase in liquid membrane formulation for selective copper and silver. In addition, the utilization of green diluent, ionic liquids, and synergist carrier was also included since it gained prominence attention latterly. The future prospects and challenges of this technology were also discussed to ensure the industrialization of technology. Herein, a potential process flowchart for the valorization of e-waste is also proposed.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 431:128573. [PMID: 35278960 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.128573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Revised: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Low concentrations of pharmaceutically active compounds have been reported in samples from highly complex aqueous environments. Due to their low concentrations, efficient sample pretreatment methods are needed to clean samples and concentrate the compounds of interest prior to instrumental analysis. Hollow fibre liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) is an effective alternative to conventional techniques such as liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and solid phase extraction (SPE) because it consumes less organic solvent and is less labour intensive with a short extraction time. HF-LPME involves the preconcentration and mass transfer of target analytes from an aqueous sample into an acceptor solution in the lumen of the fibre using a supported liquid membrane (SLM) impregnated in the hollow fibre pores. However, despite the high contaminant selectivity, reproducibility, and enrichment that HF-LPME offers, this technique is limited by membrane instability. Although several advances have been made to address membrane instability, they are either too costly or not feasible for industrial application. Hence, hollow fibre polymer inclusion membrane liquid-phase microextraction (HF-PIM-LPME) was introduced to ameliorate membrane instability. This new approach uses ionic liquids (ILs) as a green solvent, and has demonstrated high membrane stability, good contaminant enrichment, and similar selectivity and reproducibility to HF-SLM-LPME. Hence, this review aims to raise awareness of HF-PIM-LPME as a viable alternative for the selectivity and preconcentration of pharmaceuticals and other contaminants in aquatic environments.

[PMID: 34426342 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.149483] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2021] [Revised: 07/14/2021] [Accepted: 08/01/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
This review reports on the increasing interest in technical designs, calibration, and application of PIM-based devices in sample pre-treatment and passive sampling in environmental water monitoring from 2010 to 2021. With regards to passive sampling, devices are calibrated in a laboratory setup using either a dip-in or flow-through approach before environmental application. In sample preparation, the device set-ups can be offline, online or in a continuous flow separation device connected to a flow injection analysis system. The PIMs have also demonstrated potential in both these offline and online separations; however, there is still a draw-back of low diffusion coefficients obtained in these PIM set-ups. Electro-driven membrane (EME) extraction has demonstrated better performance as well as improved analyte flux. Critical in electro-driven membrane extraction is applying correct voltage that may not compromise the PIM performance due to leaching of components to the aqueous solutions. Further, besides different PIM configurations and designs being developed, PIM based extractions are central to PIM components (base polymer, carrier and plasticizer). As such, recent studies have also focused on improving PIM stability by investigating use of various PIM components, incorporating nano additives into the PIM composition, and investigating novel green PIM synthetic routes. All these aspects are covered in this review. Further, some recent studies that have demonstrated the ability to eliminate effects of flow patterns and membrane biofouling in PIM based applications are also included.

Abstract
The paper has aimed at studying the transfer of indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) from a feed aqueous solution to a stripping aqueous solution of NaOH using a chloroform bulk liquid membrane and trioctylamine (TOA) as a ligand (L). Initial molar concentrations of IAA in the feed phase, cIAA,F0 (10–4–10–3 kmol/m3), of TOA in the membrane phase, cL,M0 (10–2 and 10–1 kmol/m3), and of NaOH in the stripping phase, cNaOH,S0 (10–2 and 1 kmol/m3), were selected as process factors. Their effects on the final values of IAA concentration in the feed phase (cIAA,Ff) and stripping solution (cIAA,Sf), extraction efficiency (EF), distribution coefficient (KD), and recovery efficiency (ER) were quantified using multiple regression equations. Regression coefficients were determined from experimental data, i.e., cIAA,Ff,ex = 0.02–1 × 10–4 kmol/m3, cIAA,Sf,ex = 0.22–2.58 × 10–3 kmol/m3, EF,ex = 90.0–97.9%, KD,ex = 9.0–46.6, and ER,ex = 66.5–94.2%. It was found that cIAA,F0 had the most significant positive effect on cIAA,Ff and cIAA,Sf, whereas cNaOH,S0 had a major positive effect on EF, KD, and ER. A deterministic model based on mass transfer of IAA was developed and its parameters, i.e., mass transfer coefficient of IAA-L complex in the liquid membrane (0.82–11.5 × 10–7 m/s) and extraction constant (1033.9–1779.7 m3/kmol), were regressed from experimental data. The effect of cL,M0 on both parameters was significant.

Abstract
The partitioning of water and tetramethylrhodamine-conjugated-10-residue oligopeptides from the aqueous phase of microdroplets into Span 80 reverse micelles was observed by utilizing microdroplet arrays. Each peptide was dissolved in phosphate buffer saline, and initially encapsulated in arrayed droplets. An organic phase containing the reverse micelles was added to the microdroplets. Here, the hydration degree of the reverse micelle was adjusted by contact of the organic phase with a 1.0 M NaCl aqueous solution or with a phosphate buffer saline before combining it with the microdroplets. For micelles treated with a 1.0 M NaCl, significant water transport from the microdroplet to the micelle was observed, and peptide with low solubility in water was transported to the reverse micelles, while those with high solubility in water were not. For micelles treated with phosphate buffer saline, the water transport was minimal, and no significant peptide transport was observed. These results suggest that the partitioning of low-solubility oligopeptides requires accompanying water transport to the reverse micelle phase.
