<p>Apparatus for effecting mass transfer between two fluid phases, the first of which is a liquid, which apparatus comprises a permeable element (9) which (a) allows passage of the fluids through the pores thereof, the wall surfaces of the pores providing a tortuous and substantially continuous path over which the fluids may flow, and (b) is rotatable about an axis (4) to subject the fluids to a mean acceleration of at least 150 m sec<-><2> as they flow through the said pores with the first fluid flowing away from the said axis, means (16,5,6) to charge the fluids to the permeable element and means (8) to discharge at least one of the fluids or a derivative thereof from the permeable element characterised in that the permeable element has a voidage of at least 80% and/or comprises strands, fibres, fibrils or filaments and/or is rotatable to subject the fluids flowing through the said pores to a mean acceleration of more than about 5000 m sec<-><2>.</p> |
