<p>2118004 9320915 PCTABS00027 An apparatus and method for substantially eliminating diffusion and resin capacity as rate-limiting factors in mass transfer between phases in separation, chemical reaction, and biological culture processes by establishing turbulent flow of fluids within a continuous, moving belt (40) of resilient, open-cell foam polymer. The belt (40) is made to move alternately between bulk liquid phases (A) and gas phases where mass transfer takes place by direct transport to the polymer surface as a consequence of compression and release of the belt (40) by rollers (10).</p> |
