The effect of adding a water‐soluble chelating agent, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), to the feed phase was studied on the selective permeation of rare earth metal ions (Ln 3+ ) through a supported liquid membrane (SLM) containing 2‐ethylhexyl phosphoric acid mono‐2‐ethylhexyl ester (PC‐88A). High selectivity of Pr to Nd was observed at a pH of 2.0 in the stripping phase, and selective permeation of La was observed at higher pH values. The permeation mechanism of the Ln 3+ was analyzed, and the above results were explained by the change in the concentrations of free Ln 3+ in the feed phase and Ln 3+ /PC‐88A complexes in the SLM with pH.
