Earliest Results in the Use of Activated Composite Membranes for the Transport of Silver Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Yucundo Mendoza-Tolentino, Carlos Andrés Galán-Vidal, Giaan Arturo Álvarez-Romero, M. T. Ramírez-Silva, Ma. Elena Páez-Hernández

“…The influence of fundamental parameters affecting the transport of silver ion as the carrier concentration in the membrane phase and stripping agent variation of the stripping solution have been studied. In the optimal conditions, the amount of silver transported across the ACMs was greater than 50%, whereas if the content of the carrier is modified, more than the 90% of the initial silver is removed from the feed phase.…”
