Polymer-metal complexed membranes were prepared by solvent evaporation method using ethylcellulose, platinum(II)acetylacetonate, and rhodium(III)acetylacetonate. The various composition of metal salt(0.3-4.0 wt%) were employed to obtain the optimum performance of final membrane. EC-metal complexed membranes were characterized by FTIR and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) to observe the morphology and the performance of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane gases was tested. It was shown that the metal salts enhanced the permeability of all gases without decrease of selectivity. However, it was found that Pt had more effects on the permeability of oxygen and nitrogen gases while Rh had more effects on the permeability of carbon dioxide and methane gases. EC-Pt complexed membrane(Pt 1.0 wt%) even showed the enhanced selectivity of oxygen/nitrogen(37%) due to the affinity characteristic of Pt to oxygen.

The separation of germanium and gallium ion with metal oxide was introduced into the development of $^{68}Ge/^{68}Ga$ generator. Germanium and gallium within mixed solution were respectively separated by using a liquid-liquid extraction and a column chromatographic method. The separation of Ge within high concentrated hydrochloric and sulfuric acid was conducted by the extraction to $CCl_4$ and the back-extraction to 0.05 M HCl. An optimum condition of the extraction by $CCl_4$ was in 5~7 M HCl and efficiency was around 80%. The gallium was selectively separated by using $Al_2O_3$ among metal oxides as sorbents from the mixed solution in 0.04~0.10 M HCl condition.

In this study, a study was carried out for the separation of metal ions in lignin extract discharged from the pulp process. alumina powders were mixed with DMAc (N, N-dimethylacetamide) solvent and PESf (Polyethersulfone) polymer, PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) dispersant was added and slip casting method was used to prepare the membrane. The membrane was measured for pore size through a CFP (Capillary Flow Porometer) device and the surface and cross-section of the membrane were observed through a FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope). The flux was calculated by measuring the filtered weight per hour using a separation experiment device. Pore size measurements were performed under increasing pressure from 0 psi to 30 psi. The pore size of the membrane was $0.4{\mu}m$ and the flux decreased from the initial flux value of $6.36kg{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}h^{-1}$ to $1.98kg{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}h^{-1}$ due to the fouling of the membrane. After the permeation experiment, membrane contaminants were removed by simple washing. Separation experiments showed that Na contained in the initial lignin extract was reduced by 69%, Fe was removed by 87%, K by 95%, Ca by 93% and Mg by 96%.

Generally, the characteristic of nanofiltration membranes were catagorized into charged membrane, sieve effect, interaction between membarnes and target solutes. This study aims to investigate the effect item of heavy metal separation with view of charge nanofiltration membranes. The experiments of nanofiltration were conducted by nanofiltration set-up with operational pressure of 0.24 MPa at $25^{\circ}C$ by using synthetic wastewater containing 0.1mg/L of Cr, Fe, Cu, Zn, As, Sn, Pb. Nanofiltration membranes rejected heavy metals much better than chloride, sulfate and TOC, of which concentration in synthetic wastewater was higher than that of heavy metals. To consider rejection characteristics of various metals by nanofiltration membranes, separation coefficient, which is the molar conductivity ratio of the metal permeation rate to the chloride ion or TOC permeation rate, was introduced. In spite of different materials and different nominal salt rejection of nanofiltration membrane used, the separation coefficients of metals were nearly the same. These phenomena were observed in the relationship between the molar conductivity and the separation coefficient for heavy metals.

The ion exchange capacity of DBPDA ion exchanger, {(4,5):(13,14)-dibenzo-6, 9, 12-trioxa-3, 15, 21-triazabicyclo [15.3.1] heneicosa-1(21), 17, 19-triene-2, 16-dione : DBPDA ion exchanger} was 4.2meq/g. The distribution coefficients of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions in the various concentrations of hydrochloric acid were determined using DBPDA ion exchanger. Also alkali and alkaline earth metal ions were separated using DBPDA ion exchanger. From these results the effect of pH of solution and ionic radii of the metal ions on the distribution coefficients of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions were discussed.

The cation exchange chromatographic method for the analysis of Babbitt metal has been studied. The quantitative separation of the mixture of Sb, Cu, Pb, and Sn ions has been obtained by elution, through 5cm column of resin, Rexyn 101 (Na form, 100~200 mesh), using 0.1 M NaCl solution for Sb, pH 4.5 and pH 7 solution of 0.01 M Na-Citrate + 0.1 M $NaNO_3$ for Cu and Pb, and 2NHCl solution for Sn as eluent.

Recovery of pure cobalt and nickel from diverse resources is important due to the increased demand for these metals. In order to get cobalt and nickel with high purity, separation of them from other metal ions is necessary. In this review, several methods to obtain pure cobalt or nickel solution, such as solvent extraction, ion exchange, precipitation were introduced and compared. For solvent extraction, the advantage and disadvantage of the separation process together with detailed process conditions were investigated.

Development of a novel fixed site carrier membrane (FCM), supported by PET fabric for metal ion separation is reported. The membranes were prepared by dipping PET fabric into the methylene chloride solution of Poly(5-vinyl-m-phe-nylene-m'-phenylene-32-crown-10) (P(VCE)), a polymeric metal ion carrier. It was found that the flux of mono-valent metal ion transported across the membrane is signif=cantly differed from each other and the flux decreases in the order $Cs^+$>$Rb^+$>$K^+$>$Na^+$>$Li^+$ irrespective to the anion except perchlorate anion. It was explained in terms of the stability of the complex, formed by crown ether unit of the P(VCE) and the various metal ions, meanwhile, the lower rate of transport in the presence of perchlorate anion was ascribed to its low hydrophilicity.

Electrodeionization is a hybrid separation process of electrodialysis and ion exchange to produce high purity water under electric field. This article provides a fabrication result of hole patterned metal electrode for elecrodeionization system. The hole patterns have been fabricated by nanosphere lithography (NSL). The technique utilizes the self-assembled nanospheres as lens-mask patterns and collimated laser beam source. The hole patterns have a periodic array structure. The images of hole pattern on metal electrode prepared were observed by SEM. We believe that the periodic hole patterned metal electrode structure is a useful device applicable for metal mat electrode in electrodeionization system.
