Notes:
The facilitated transport of penicillin G (Pen G), through a supported liquid membrane with Amberlite LA-2 dissolved in 1-decanol, supported on a microporous polypropylene membrane, were studied. The distribution coefficient was obtained from a batch extraction experiment. The effects of flow rate, carrier concentration, initial concentration of Pen G, and the pH of feed and stripping phases on the transport rate of Pen G through the supported liquid membrane were also investigated. The results are in agreement with theoretical predictions, and it is demonstrated that the transport of Pen G through the supported liquid membrane is controlled simultaneously by mass transfer across both aqueous and liquid membranes. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
