Abstract
The utilization of microfluidic technology for miniaturized and efficient particle sorting holds significant importance in fields such as biology, chemistry, and healthcare. Passive separation methods, achieved by modifying the geometric shapes of microchannels, enable gentle and straightforward enrichment and separation of particles. Building upon previous discussions regarding the effects of column arrays on fluid flow and particle separation within microchips, we introduced a column array structure into an H-shaped microfluidic chip. It was observed that this structure enhanced mass transfer between two fluids while simultaneously intercepting particles within one fluid, satisfying the requirements for particle interception. This enhancement was primarily achieved by transforming the originally single-mode diffusion-based mass transfer into dual-mode diffusion-convection mass transfer. By further optimizing the column array, it was possible to meet the basic requirements of mass transfer and particle interception with fewer microcolumns, thereby reducing device pressure drop and facilitating the realization of parallel and high-throughput microfluidic devices. These findings have enhanced the potential application of microfluidic systems in clinical and chemical engineering domains.

Abstract
This study investigates the application of extraction solvent in a new microfluidic apparatus to separate calcium ions (Ca2+). Indeed, a serpentine microfluidic device has been utilized to separate calcium ions. The flow regime map shows that it is possible to completely separate organic and aqueous phases using the serpentine microfluidic device. The suggested microfluidic device reaches the extraction efficiency of 24.59% at 4.2 s of the residence time. This research also employs the Box-Behnken design (BBD) strategy in the response surface methodology (RSM) for performing the modeling and optimization of the suggested extraction process using the recorded experimental data. Flow rate and pH of the aquatic phase as well as Dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DC18C6) concentration are those independent features engaged in the model derivation task. The optimum values of pH 6.34, the DC18C6 concentration of 0.015 M, and the flow rate = 20 µl/min have been achieved for the aquatic phase. The results indicated that the extraction efficiency of Ca2+ is 63.6%, and microfluidic extraction is 24.59% in this optimum condition. It is also observed that the microfluidic extraction percentage and experimental efficiency achieved by the suggested serpentine microchannel are higher than the previous separation ranges reported in the literature.

Abstract
Hydrodynamics plays a major role in transport of heat and mass transfer in microchannels. This includes flow patterns and flow regimes in which the micro-channels are operated. The flow patterns have a major impact the transport properties. Another important aspect is the pressure drop in micro-channels. In the present review, the experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) studies covering all the above aspects have been covered. The effect of geometrical parameters like shape of channel, channel size, material of construction of channels; operating parameters like flow velocity, flow ratio and fluid properties have been presented and analyzed. Experimental and analytical work of different pressure drop models has also been presented. All the literature related to influence of flow patterns on transport properties like volumetric mass transfer coefficients (VMTC) and heat transfer coefficients (HTC) have been presented and analyzed. It is found that most works in Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE) systems have been carried out in slug flow and T-junctions. Models for coupled systems of flow and mass transfer have been presented and works carried out for different coupled systems have been listed. CFD simulations match experimental results within 20% deviations in quantitative and qualitative predictions of flow phenomena for most research articles referred in this review. There is a disparity in prediction of a generalized regime map and a generalized regime map for prediction of flow patterns for various systems would need the help of Artificial Intelligence.

Abstract
Micro-capillary bioreactors (1 mm ID, 10 cm long) were investigated for the biodegradation of toluene vapors as a model volatile organic compound (VOC). The intended application is the removal of VOCs from indoor air, when such microbioreactor is coupled with a microconcentrator that intermittently delivers high concentrations of VOCs to the bioreactor for effective treatment. The effects of key operating conditions were investigated. Specifically, gas film and liquid film mass transfer coefficients were determined for different gas and liquid velocities. Both mass transfer coefficients increased with gas or liquid velocity, respectively, and the overall gas-liquid mass transfer was dominated by the liquid-side resistance. Experiments with the microbioreactors focused on the effects of gas velocity, liquid velocity and mineral medium renewal rate on the treatment of toluene vapors at different inlet concentrations. The best performance in terms of toluene removal and mineralization to CO2 was obtained when the gas and liquid velocity ratio was close to one and achieving Taylor or slug flow pattern. Sustained treatment over extended periods of time with toluene elimination capacities ranging from 4000 to over 9000 g m-3 h-1 were obtained, which is orders of magnitude greater than conventional biofilters and biotrickling filters. Biological limitations generally played a more important role than mass transfer limitation. Continuous mineral medium supply at a high rate (10 h liquid retention time) enabled pH control and provided ample nutrient supply and therefore resulted in better toluene elimination and mineralization. Overall, these studies helped select the most suitable conditions for high performance and sustained operation.

Abstract
Directional solvent extraction is one of the promising membrane-less seawater desalination method. This technique was not extensively investigated due the poor mixing and separation performances of its bench-scale system. It is believed that, overcoming these drawbacks is possible now with the rapid development of microfluidics technology that enabled high-precession micro mixing and separation. This work presents microfluidics chip for extracting and separating salt from seawater. The chip was designed with two sections for extraction and separation. In both sections, the liquids were separated using capillary channels perpendicular to the main stream. The main channels were designed to be 400 µm in width and 100 µm in height. Two streams inlets were introduced through a Y-junction containing octanoic acid as the organic phase and saltwater as the aqueous phase. The desalination performance was investigated at four different temperatures and five different solvent flow rates. Water product salinity was recorded to be as low as 0.056% (w/w) at 60 °C and 40 mL/h. A maximum water yield of 5.2% was achieved at 65 °C and 40 mL/h with a very low solvent residual (70 ppm). The chip mass transfer efficiency was recorded to be as high as 68% under similar conditions. The fabricated microfluidic desalination system showed a significant improvement in terms of water yield and separation efficiency over the conventional macroscale. The high performance of this microsystem resulted from its ability to achieve a high mixing efficiency and separate phases selectively and that will provide a good platform in the near future to develop small desalination kits for personal use.

Abstract
The effect of a soluble surfactant on the linear stability of layered two-phase Poiseuille flows through soft-gel-coated parallel walls is studied in this paper. The focus is on determining the effect of the elastohydrodynamic coupling between the fluids and the soft-gel layers on the various flow instabilities. The fluids are assumed Newtonian and incompressible, while the soft gels are modeled as linear viscoelastic solids. The effect of a soluble surfactant on the different instabilities is specifically investigated. The soft-gel-coated plates are maintained at two different solute concentrations. The dynamics of the soluble surfactant in the fluids is captured using a species transport equation. A linear stability analysis is carried out to identify different instabilities in the system. The linearized governing equations are solved numerically using a Chebyshev spectral Collocation technique. The effect of deformability of the soft gels on three distinct instability modes, (a) a liquid-liquid long-wave mode, (b) a liquid-liquid short-wave mode, and (c) a liquid-liquid Marangoni short-wave mode, is analyzed. An analytical expression for the growth rate is obtained in the long-wave length limit using an asymptotic analysis. From the long-wave analysis a stability map is obtained, in which dominant effects in different regions are identified. The Marangoni stresses can either stabilize or destabilize the interfacial instability depending on the direction of mass transfer. They have a predominantly stabilizing effect on the interfacial instability when the mass transfer is from the more viscous broader fluid to the less viscous thinner fluid. Placing a gel closer to the more viscous fluid has a stabilizing effect on this instability. The Marangoni stresses and soft-gel layers can have opposing effects on the stability of the long-wave mode. The dominant of these two opposing effects is determined by the prevailing parameters. Insights into the dominant physical causes of different instabilities are presented.

Abstract
Hydrodynamic shrinkage of liquid CO2 drops in water under a Taylor flow regime is studied using a straight microchannel (length/width ~100). A general form of a mathematical model of the solvent-side mass transfer coefficient (k s) is developed first. Based on formulations of the surface area (A) and the volume (V) of a general Taylor drop in a rectangular microchannel, a specific form of k s is derived. Drop length and speed are experimentally measured at three specified positions of the straight channel, namely, immediately after drop generation (position 1), the midpoint of the channel (position 2) and the end of the channel (position 3). The reductions of drop length (L x , x = 1, 2, 3) from position 1 to 2 and down to 3 are used to quantify the drop shrinkage. Using the specific model, k s is calculated mainly based on L x and drop flowing time (t). Results show that smaller CO2 drops produced by lower flow rate ratios ([Formula: see text]) are generally characterized by higher (nearly three times) k s and Sherwood numbers than those produced by higher [Formula: see text], which is essentially attributed to the larger effective portion of the smaller drop contributing in the mass transfer under same levels of the flowing time and the surface-to-volume ratio (~104 m-1) of all drops. Based on calculated pressure drops of the segmented flow in microchannel, the Peng-Robinson equation of state and initial pressures of drops at the T-junction in experiments, overall pressure drop (ΔP t) in the straight channel as well as the resulted drop volume change are quantified. ΔP t from position 1-3 is by average 3.175 kPa with a ~1.6% standard error, which only leads to relative drop volume changes of 0.3‰ to 0.52‰.

Abstract
In this work, we propose a general approach for modeling mass transfer and reaction of dilute solute(s) in incompressible three-phase flows by introducing a collision operator in lattice Boltzmann (LB) method. An LB equation was used to simulate the solute dynamics among three different fluids, in which the newly expanded collision operator was used to depict the interface behavior of dilute solute(s). The multiscale analysis showed that the presented model can recover the macroscopic transport equations derived from the Maxwell-Stefan equation for dilute solutes in three-phase systems. Compared with the analytical equation of state of solute and dynamic behavior, these results are proven to constitute a generalized framework to simulate solute distributions in three-phase flows, including compound soluble in one phase, compound adsorbed on single-interface, compound in two phases, and solute soluble in three phases. Moreover, numerical simulations of benchmark cases, such as phase decomposition, multilayered planar interfaces, and liquid lens, were performed to test the stability and efficiency of the model. Finally, the multiphase mass transfer and reaction in Janus droplet transport in a straight microchannel were well reproduced.

Abstract
Optical feedback interferometry (OFI) is a compact sensing technique with recent implementation for flow measurements in microchannels. We propose implementing OFI for the analysis at the microscale of multiphase flows starting with the case of parallel flows of two immiscible fluids. The velocity profiles in each phase were measured and the interface location estimated for several operating conditions. To the authors knowledge, this sensing technique is applied here for the first time to multiphase flows. Theoretical profiles issued from a model based on the Couette viscous flow approximation reproduce fairly well the experimental results. The sensing system and the analysis presented here provide a new tool for studying more complex interactions between immiscible fluids (such as liquid droplets flowing in a microchannel).
