The liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and supported liquid membrane (SLM) studies of reactive dyes namely Gold Yellow (GYHE-R) and Reactive Green HE 4BD (RGHE-4BD) from aqueous solution using Aliquot 336 as the carrier has been investigated. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane with 0.5 μm pore size has been used after impregnated with Aliquot 336 in dichloromethane. In liquid liquid extraction the following parameters had been optimized; pH of feed, diluent, carrier , strip and dye concentration and the same parameters have been applied to supported liquid membrane (SLM) study to transport dye from aqueous solution.The main advantages SLM study is; the extraction and stripping as single stage process and low consumption of carrier in the membrane phase compared to the solvent extraction process. The other parameters such as transport time, stirring speed and mechanism of dye transport has also studied by SLM. The percentage of transport of dye and flux rate increases with increasing time. The stability of membrane is satisfactory over 5 days.

In this study, the removal of acetic acid from aqueous solution through supported liquid membrane (SLM) process by using tri-n-octylamine (TOA) as a carrier and sodium hydroxide as a stripping agent was conducted. Acetic acid can inhibit the microbial activity during fermentation process of biomass hydrolysate, thus decreasing the bioethanol production. It is crucial to remove acetic acid prior to fermentation process in order to increase the yield of bioethanol from biomass resources. In this study, the removal of acetic acid was conducted using different types of polymeric membrane in supported liquid membrane process. Three types of polymeric membranes support which are polyethersulfone (PES), polysulfone (PSF) and polyvinyflouride (PVDF) prepared by vapour induced phase separation (VIPS) were used as a support material. The types of polymer give a significant effect on membrane morphology and its physical characteristics. PES exhibited a porous membrane support with a symmetric structure and high contact angle. Almost 86% of 10 g/l of acetic acid was successfully removed by using PES as a support membrane, compared to the 6% and 38% removal using PSF and PVDF membrane, respectively.
