Abstract: A novel flat renewal membrane reactor (FRMR) with mixed amine extractant N1633 dissolved in kerosene and NaOH solvent was studied for the removal of polytungstate [expressed as W 7 O 24 6− or W (VI)] from simulated mine wastewater. FRMR contains three parts: the feeding cell, reacting cell and renewal cell. A flat membrane of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was used in the reacting cell, which used mixed solutions of kerosene and NaOH. The amine extractant (N1633) was used as the carrier, and simulated mine wastewater containing polytungstate was used as the feeding solution. The influencing factors of the pH and the other ion strengths in the feeding solutions, the volume ratio of kerosene to NaOH solution, and the N1633 concentration in the renewal solutions were investigated in order to obtain the optimum technique parameters. It was found that the removal percentage of polytungstate could reach 92.5% in 205 min, when the concentration of the carrier (N1633) was 0.18 mol/L, the volume ratio of kerosene and NaOH in the renewal cell was 3:2, the pH in the feeding cell was 4.00, and the initial concentration of polytungstate was 3.50 × 10 −4 mol/L. The stability and feasibility of FRMR were tested by the investigation of polytungstate retention and the reuse of the membrane.
