Liquid Membranes

  • Chapter
Synthetic Membranes: Science, Engineering and Applications

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 181))

Abstract

A new method for developing high-performance membranes is to use liquids as membrane materials. The liquid membrane generally separates two miscible liquids or gases and controls the mass transfer between the two phases.
