seawaterLiNaK {transmem}

Lithium, sodium and potassium transport profiles across a membrane

Description

A list of 6 datasets containing by duplicate the transport profiles for lithium, sodium, and potassium from a synthetic simplified seawater matrix using a polymer inclusion membrane selective to lithium. Lithium samples were taken every 45 minutes during 4.5 hours while sodium and potassium determinations were made in samples taken every 1.5 hours.

Usage

seawaterLiNaK

Format

A list of 6 data frames (two for each lithium, sodium, and potassium) with 14 or 8 rows and 3 variables:

Time

Time in hours of each aliquot taken during the experiment

Phase

Phase of corresponding aliquot, Feed or Strip

Fraction

Remaining lithium concentration in the feed solution or transported lithium concentration to the strip solution
