In-line phase separator for microfluidic solvent extraction of uranium

Non-equilibrium solvent extraction in milliflow reactors: Precious and base metal separations with undiluted ionic liquids

“…[35] Some inline phase separation systems have also been developed based on differences in wettability of a side-channel, membrane or mesh. [36][37][38][39][40] By providing an intense phase contacting and high residence time control, small-scale flow contactors operating under slug flow conditions meet the requirements for a reliable operation of non-equilibrium SX processes.…”
