Abstract

An optimal breakage of liquid membrane emulsions is desirable for the industrial application of liquid membrane extraction. The electrostatic emulsion breakage process was investigated with regard to its parameters. The results show that the breakage efficiency increases with the applied field strength, frequency, and the achievable polarization of the membrane phase molecules. An on-line measurement of the applied field strength allows control of the process efficiency.
