In the ELM there is a major drawback of instability, incorporating these bio-materials enhances the stability of ELM. For this there is a need to optimize the different parameters; effect of time, temperature, pH, agitation speed, and membrane to internal phase component concentration. As treating the pollutant or any compound, the ELM process is to form an emulsion water-in-oil (W/O), oil-in-water (O/W). The actual mechanism occurs from the feed phase which is the content of the pollutant or compound, through the membrane phase to the internal phase. By process of diffusion occurs with the membrane layer, present components in the membrane phase form a complex with pollutants and are extracted in the internal phase. The bio-material-based synthesis of ELM, is the major aim of this research work, to increase the bio-compatibility, make the ELM technique eco-friendly, and enhance the stability to increase the extraction efficiency of any targeted compound.
