Modeling of Dispersed-Emulsion Separation Systems

A dispersed-emulsion separation system is a type or configuration of liquid-membrane separation systems. Such systems are comprised of three liquid phases: two of these liquid phases are miscible with each other but are separated by a third liquid phase (the membrane) which is immiscible with both. The interfaces may be stabilized by a surfactant. Mass is transferred from one of the miscible phases across the liquid membrane to the second miscible phase. These systems were introduced by Li^1,2.
