5500 ppm (15 mM) was lowered to 30 ppm when using an organic membrane<br />

solution containing 2.5% Aliquat 336. The resulting overall mass transfer<br />

coefficient was 1.6 x 10 -5 cm/sec. The mass flux of Cephalexin for this system<br />

was found to be independent of aqueous feed and strip dispersion flowrates,<br />

suggesting a major mass transfer resistance due to chemical reaction kinetics,<br />

which is supported by calculated individual mass transfer resistances. The pH of<br />

the aqueous strip phase was found to play a more significant role when trying to<br />

achieve higher enrichment ratios. It was observed that the highest stripping<br />

efficiency occurs when the pH of the aqueous strip phase is between the values<br />

of 5 and 6.
