Notes:
Liquid membranes containing macrocyclic polyethers can be used to electrorefine metals. This purification depends on the selective reaction of the polyether and the metal cation to produce a charged product. The amount of this product is found to be proportional to the square root of the amount of polyester present. Results for silver and copper purification illustrate the ideas involved.
