Abstract: The liquid membrane transport rates of the nitrate saIts of Na+,K+, Ag+ andPb2+ by 10-tellurabenzo-15-crown-5(TeB15C5)were firstly determined, and compared withthose by the corresponding benzo-15-crown-5(B15C5), 10-thiabenzo-15-crown-5(SB15C5)and 10-selenabenzo-15-crown-5(SeB15C5).At the same time,the effects of the concentrations of SeB15C5 in the membrane phase and K+ in the source phase on the transport rates of K+were also investigated.The experimental data indicate that the relationship is linear between the transport rates of K+ and the concentrations of SeBl5C5 and K+ respectively.Thetransport rates of Na+,K+ and Pb2+ by TeB15C5 are larger than those by SB15C5 andSeB15C5,but the transport rates of Ag+ by SB15C5 and SeB15C5,especially by SeB15C5,are much larger than those by TeB15C5.SB15C5 and SeB15C5 show a very high transportselectivity for Ag+ over Na+,K+ and Pb2+,and can be used to separate and recover noblemetals such as silver.
