N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-phenyldiamine was synthesized for examining their ability to extract and transport Cu2+ through a liquid membrane. By using hydrazine sulfate and potassium thiocyanate as reducing agent and acceptor respectively in the receiving phase at the optimum pH of 1.5, the amount of copper transported across the liquid membrane after 3.5 hours was 96%. The selectivity and efficiency of copper transport from aqueous solution containing various metal ions were investigated.
