In this regard, several physical and chemical parameters which could affect Pb extraction (sample pH, sodium acetate buffer, HNO3 concentration in stripping solution, masking agent effect, flow rate, filter porosity, and configuration of the SLM cell) were studied. In this sense, the permeability parameter was selected to probe the system efficiency. The optimal preconcentration factor was found to be of 14.2, after 2 h under the following conditions: sample pH equal to 4.7 buffered until a 0.08 M of sodium acetate, DEPHA concentration fixed at 0.21 M and HNO3 concentration of 0.23 M in stripping solution. Besides, SLM filters were analyzed by electron microscopy after each period of 2 h and several microparticles and other deposits in form of a thin layer were observed in the polymeric support.
