Abstract
A liquid membrane is a membrane which uses a specifically formulated liquid to form small-diameter spherical shells separating two miscible phases. The potential range of liquid membrane applications is quite wide, and includes separation of hydrocarbons (Li, 197la, 197lb), removal of contaminants from wastewater (Li and Shrier, 1972; Matulevicius and Li, 1975), oxygenation of blood (Li and Asher, 1973), removal of toxins from blood (Asher et al., 1975), and encapsulation of enzymes and/or microorganisms for reaction and/or separation (May and Li, 1972, 1974; May and Landgraff, 1975; Li et al., 1973; Mohan and Li, 1974, 1975).
