A diffusion-limited kinetic treatment was applied to carrier-mediated transport of a single substrate species and of an ion pair and to carrier-mediated exchange diffusion of 2 substrates against a back-transported species. Extensive numerical simulation was performed in order to describe the relation of transport rates and selectivities with thermodynamic properties (extraction equilibria) of the carrier-substrate pairs. Transport rates display a bell-shaped dependence on equilibrium extraction constants; they decrease when there is either too little substrate extraction at the entry or too much extraction at the exit of the membrane set-up; the domain over which transport is optimal depends on the particular process involved and on the experimental conditions employed. The determination of transport selectivities of a given carrier between different substrates requires direct competition experiments, transport selectivities being close to thermodynamic extraction selectivities only when there is little complex formation at the exit interface. This treatment was applied to a number of literature results on transport through liquid membranes, involving widely different substrates, carriers and experimental conditions; the diffusion-limited process accounts in a straightforward fashion for the experimental data and there is no need to invoke a mechanism where transport is limited by complexation kinetics.
