Microchannel extraction of Te⁴⁺ from a stream of CdTe via MIBK in supported liquid membrane

Creator:

Liburdy, Heather Johnson

Abstract:

A new technique is developed to recover elemental tellurium (Te) from cadmium telluride (CdTe) which is abundantly available in photovoltaic semiconductor waste. The method is based on microchannel fluid flow with the use of a supported liquid membrane (SLM) between the donor (feed) and acceptor (strip) channels. A predictive theoretical...
