我们报告了一种由Marangoni流驱动的金属离子跨油-水界面非平衡传输通路。在特定条件下，金属物种在萃取剂修饰的油-水界面上的吸附会产生界面张力梯度，进而引发Marangoni流。值得注意的是，我们观察到这些流伴随水相中金属的去除，且萃取动力学遵循非扩散行为。当存在Marangoni流时，萃取速率显著提高——至少增加三倍。我们表明，界面不稳定性的强度与界面张力的降低相关，而界面张力的降低取决于金属种类，因此可实现速率介导的选择性萃取。总体而言，本研究为液-液萃取提供了一种全新的范式，开辟了一系列新的研究方向和未来技术。
英文摘要
We report on a Marangoni flow-driven pathway for non-equilibrium transport of metal ions across an oil-water interface. Under specific conditions, we show that the adsorption of a metallic species onto the extractant-decorated oil-water interface creates interfacial tension gradients that give rise to Marangoni flows. Strikingly, we observe that these flows are accompanied by removal of metal from the aqueous phase and that the extraction kinetics follow a non-diffusive behavior. The extraction rates are significantly higher - at least a threefold increase - when Marangoni flows are present. We show that the strength of the interfacial instability is coupled to the lowering of the interfacial tension- which is metal-dependent and therefore can lead to rate-mediated selective extractions. Overall, our study shows a fundamentally different paradigm for liquid-liquid extractions opening up a range of new directions of inquiry and future technologies.
