    Abstract:
    A water-soluble porphyrin (2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octabromo-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (H(2)(obtpps)(4-), H(2)P(4-)) synthesized in our laboratory was applied to a solvent extraction method and a liquid membrane transport of lithium as low as 10(-5) M (M=mol dm(-3)) in the presence of sodium chloride higher than 0.1 M. The lithium porphyrin with five negative charges was extracted successfully into chloroform with tetrabutylammonium ion (But(4)N(+)) at pH 12.7. The extraction constant for the reaction of [LiP(5-)](a)+5[But(4)N](+)(a)right harpoon over left harpoon[(But(4)N)(5)LiP](o) was found to be (1.9+/-0.3)x10(18) M(-5), where the subscripts a and o denote chemical species in aqueous and organic phases, respectively. Lithium was transported to an aqueous phase at pH 7 through a chloroform liquid membrane containing [(But(4)N)(5)HP]. The extraction and transport mechanism was discussed on the basis of extraction constants, chemical species and transportation rate. Lithium in sea water or serum sample was separated and its concentration was determined spectrophotometrically by the present method without any interference from sodium chloride. The interference from transition and heavy metal ions was masked by Mg-EDTA. A calibration curve was linear over a range of 2x10(-6) to 2x10(-5) M at a precision of 1.51% (RSD).
