Intimate and efficient contacting of plural, physically disparate phases, e.g., a gas and a liquid, is achieved by contacting the phases cocurrently in a column. The gas phase is introduced at a velocity between its phase transition inversion point (T) and multiple critical point (Mc) velocities, which velocity is sufficient to create a dispersion of the second phase, i.e., the liquid phase, in the gas and thereby establish at most the following zones, from bottom to top, in the column: a bottom zone of constant liquid concentration designated the emulsion zone, a zone of decreasing liquid concentration, and a zone of constant liquid concentration wherein the liquid exists in the form of droplets. The feed velocity of the liquid is adjusted accordingly to provide a mass liquid concentration value in the emulsion that is between the mass liquid concentration value transition inversion point and multiple critical point values.
