Abstract

Liquid membranes may be grouped into three main types, namely double emulsions, liquids attached to a porous substrate and membrane contactors. Considerable versatility may be achieved using liquid membranes, as apart from straightforward separations, coupling with chemical reactions can be used in the liquid phase either in a stationary mode or as facilitated transport.
