Abstract. This study presents a novel approach to gold extraction from deposited ores using a PVDF-CO-HFP-based Electrodriven Polymer Inclusion Membrane Extraction (EPIME) system, enhanced with Cyphos® IL 104. We investigate the intricate ion exchange, mass transfer, and kinetic mechanisms that facilitate the extraction process. Our results demonstrate that the integration of an electrochemical driving force significantly improves the efficiency of gold ion transport across the membrane. This method not only elevates recovery rates compared to conventional techniques but also showcases the potential for reduced environmental impact. By elucidating these mechanisms, this research paves the way for innovative applications in hydrometallurgy, highlighting the promise of combining polymeric membranes with ionic liquids for sustainable metal recovery.
Keywords: Electrodriven Polymer Inclusion Membrane, Ion Exchange, Mass Transfer, Kinetic Mechanisms, PVD-CO-HFP, Cyphos IL 104.
