A salt-free cationic and anionic (catanionic) surfactant system was formed by mixing a double-tailed di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (DEHPA, commercial name P204), which is an excellent extractant of rare earth metal ions, with a single-tailed cationic trimethyltetradecylammonium hydroxide (TTAOH) in water.

The facilitated transport of chromium(III) through activated composite membrane (ACM) containing di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (DEHPA) was investigated. DEHPA was immobilised by interfacial polymerisation on polysulfone layer which was deposited on non-woven fabric by using spin coater. Then, ACM was characterised
