“…Because of the non-dispersive contact between feed and extractant, HFMCs offer a number of advantages over conventional extractors (column contactors). These include independent feed and extractant flow rates with no flooding, entraining and channelling, higher mass transfer interfacial area, no or less extractant loss, easy and straightforward scale-up because of invariable contact area [4,5]. However, despite its great prospective, the membrane contactors are still seeking their use in industrial processes.…”
