Enrichment of amino acids by supported liquid membrane extraction using Aliquat 336 as a carrier
1998
Abstract The possible application of Aliquat 336 (trioctylmethyl ammonium chloride) as a carrier for liquid membrane extraction of amino acids was investigated. The extraction is performed from an aqueous donor phase with pH > 11 to an acceptor phase containing a salt solution through a supported liquid membrane with Aliquat 336 as a carrier in the membrane to facilitate amino acid transport. Counter-coupled transport of chloride anions from the acceptor phase to the donor phase is the driving force of the mass transfer in this system. The extraction efficiency depends on the donor phase pH, the carrier concentration in the liquid membrane, the composition of the acceptor phase and the hydr…
Concentration of amino acids using supported liquid membranes with di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid as a carrier
1997
Abstract Basic studies of a procedure for extraction of amino acids using a supported liquid membrane containing di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid are presented. The extractions are made from an aqueous donor phase with pH 3 to a more acidic acceptor phase and the mass transfer is driven by the proton gradient between these phases. For 0.01 mM tryptophan and with 1 M HCl as acceptor phase, an extraction efficiency of 60% is obtained, constant up to at least 12 h. This permits concentration enrichment factors linearly increasing with time up to values of at least 150. For higher amino acid concentrations, the extraction efficiency is constant only over shorter time intervals.
Extraction of dansylated amino acids using the supported liquid membrane technique
1997
Extraction using the supported liquid membrane (SLM) technique demands conditions where the extracted compounds can be made uncharged allowing them to pass through the membrane. For amino acids, being bifunctional, such conditions can not be obtained directly. One way to overcome this problem is to block one of the functionalities by derivatization, utilising the other group for the transport. The SLM extraction of dansylated amino acids was investigated and optimized. It was possible to obtain high extraction efficiencies (>90%) for most amino acids. For amino acids with polar side chains, such high extraction efficiencies were only obtained at low analyte concentrations ( 10 nmol 1-l). Fo…
