Enhanced transport and liquid membranes in bioseparations.
Membranes that use a reversible chemical reaction or sequestration to achieve high selectivities and productivities show great potential for use in bioseparations. The concept of liquid membranes, with and without a complexing agent (carrier), and the types of system configurations and carriers that may be used with these membranes, are discussed.
