Liquid membrane technology – A survey of associated phenomena, transport mechanisms, and models. Liquid membrane permeation is the name given to a simultaneous extraction/stripping process. A summary of related phenomena, mass transfer, and models is presented. A new model has been developed to describe mass transfer in liquid membranes, in which the spherical droplets serve as reaction centres.
