In the present study the modified correction-factor analysis is introduced to investigate the Performances in multipass countercurrent-flow recycled membrane extractors, in which the unknown solute outlet concentrations are neither in the estimating equation for mass-transfer rate nor in the modified correction-factor charts, and thus the calculation is easy and direct without using the try-and-error method, which should be employed in the conventional correction-factor analysis. Experimental results confirm the prediction values for the extraction of acetic acid from aqueous solution by methyl isobutyl ketone in the double-pass device.
