Abstract
Research on the Synthesis of Polyeugenoxy Acetyl Thiophene Methanolate (PEATM) as a new selective Carrier using the Bulk Liquid Membrane (BLM) Method has been done. PEATM was synthesized from eugenol that was polymerized to form polyeugenol, acidified to make polieugenoxy acetate and then etherized with thiophenemethanol. The product obtained was characterized using FTIR and 1H-NMR. PEATM produced in the form of thick brownish-black liquid. The solubility test incorporating organic compounds showed that this compound dissolved in chloroform and benzene but was difficult to dissolve in n-hexane. Molecular weight value of 700 was obtained using Ubbollohde viscometer with about 22 times monomer repetition. PEATM was used as a BLM carrier to separate mixture of Cd2+, Cr3+ and Cu2+. The results showed that PEATM was selective towards Cd 2+.
