Interfacial structures: Thermodynamical and experimental studies of the interfacial mass transfer
Abstract
Hypotheses are presented concerning the structure of the interfacial regions between two immiscible liquid phases. It appears that the longitudinal structure is comparable with that of a crystallized solid and that the transversal structure is nearest to that of a liquid. A thermodynamic treatment of the irreversible phenomena in the interfacial region is presented. The equation of evolution of a system consisting of two immiscible liquid phases is deduced. An experimental verification of the theoretical relations is made and the appearance of a great interfacial resistance that slows down the interfacial mass transfer occurs.
