Pertraction correlation between the overall mass transfer coefficient and broth-recycle superficial velocity through the forward membrane module during Periods 2–5. The overall mass transfer coefficient (k) was plotted as function of the broth-recycle superficial velocity (u) for a lumped extraction of n-caprylic and n-caproic acid. These undissociated MCCAs were corrected by using g COD. The resulting k could be used in the undissociated MCCA extraction rate equation.
