Sodium humate was obtained by treating lignite from Kahramanmaraş Afşin-Elbistan Region. PIMs were prepared by using cellulose triacetate as polymer, a carrier, tricaprylmethylammonium chloride, modifier tri-butyl phosphate and plasticizer 2- nitro phenyl pentyl ether. The polymeric film was placed between two glass cells. The effect of the stripping solution type, stripping solution concentration and feed and stripping solution mixing rate parameters were experimentally investigated. About 25% humic acid was passed to the stripping phase and measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. </p> <p> </p>}, number={6}, publisher={Sakarya University}
