Abstract
The novel technique of reverse micelle extraction of proteins from aqueous solution has received considerable attention in the last decade, and a lot of fundamental studies have been carried out. Unfortunately, there has been almost no work done on a number of practical questions such as protein selectivity, yield and activity during back extraction, and contactor design. In order for this technique to be transferred to industry these issues need to be addressed systematically, and this proposal is aimed at exploring these questions more fully.
