Abstract: The transport behaviour of Zn(Ⅱ)through the emulsion liquid membrane system of Cyanex 272-Span 80-to luene has been studied.The transport conditions of Zn(Ⅱ) with high efficiency and high speed are as follows:membrane phase:0.020 mol/L Cyanex 272+3% (W/V)Span 80+toluene;outer phase:pH 4-5 with SCN-,ClO4-,NO3-,Ac- and Cl- as mediums;inner phase:H2SO4,EDTA,or HCl in needed concentrations; the volume ratio of emulsion to outer aqueous phase: 1-2.5 mL:10 mL.The transport rate of Zn(Ⅱ)in 5min is above 95%.In this case, Many co-ions, such as Cd(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ) ,Hg(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ) etc.can only be transported a little through this emulsion liquid membrane.So Zn(Ⅱ) can be separated from these ions with satisfactory.
