Abstract
The third paper of this series of three papers on the facilitated transport of zinc chloride through a hollow fiber supported liquid membrane of tri-n-octylamine diluted in n-dodecane with 2-ethylhexyl alcohol deals with module operation. The Type A module, in which 300 polyethylene fibers were simply bundled, revealed that only a fraction of the total surface was effective. The Type B module, with a sheet of glass fiber cloth as a spacer and a cross-flow arrangement of the outside strip solution, showed the same performance as with single fiber operation. The continuous impregnation discussed for a single fiber operation in the second paper was demonstrated to be effective by a Type C module
