Abstract
Processes and apparatuses are described for recovering components dispersed in an aqueous solution, the process comprising contacting said solution as a first solution with a body of filaments, fibers, hair-like objects or other thread-like objects which have a high affinity for at least one of said components whereby a substantial fraction of said component is sorbed by said body. The body is subsequently contacted with a second aqueous solution as a receiving solution; such second solution comprising agents for facilitating the desorption of at least one of said selected components from the body into said second solution. The desorbed components are then separated from said body.
