A model for extraction by the emulsion liquid membrane in a continuous flow reactor is presented. The extraction of the solute through the individual emulsion globule is based on the Modified Diffusion Model. The extent of the emulsion conversion in the extractor is calculated in terms of the extractor capacity. The design of the extractor is based on the extractor capacity. It is found that extractor capacity increases with increasing average residence time of the emulsion globules in the extractor.
