Abstract
The mass transfer of hydrocarbons within an emulsion drop has been modeled. The selective behavior of the process is attributed to the controlling effect of the aqueous phase; calculations show that the presence of a very thin membrane of water separating the inner core of the hydrocarbon droplets from the surrounding solvent is sufficient to explain observed selectivities.
