FIG. 10Conceptual scheme for dispersed droplet <strong>and</strong> third liquid layer in TLPTC.MY in the aqueous phase undergoes a substitution reaction with the organic reactant RX t<strong>of</strong>orm the product RY. Under some appropriate conditions, by introducing extra inorganicsalts or reactants into the system, a separate liquid phase appears <strong>and</strong> is composed <strong>of</strong> PTcatalyst (QX), active intermediate (QY), a little water, <strong>and</strong> organic solvent. The third liquidlayer at the aqueous/organic interface exists if the solubility <strong>of</strong> QY in both the organic <strong>and</strong>aqueous phases is limited. This reaction system is shown in the following scheme:ð174ÞIn the third liquid phase system, the organic phase is considered as the dispersedphase with spherical <strong>and</strong> rigid droplets, <strong>and</strong> with a high distribution coefficient <strong>of</strong> catalystbetween aqueous <strong>and</strong> third phases. The rates <strong>of</strong> change <strong>of</strong> RX in the organic phase <strong>and</strong>QY/QX in the third phase are formulated as follows [234]:Copyright © 2003 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC
