In this work, succinic acid has been successfully extracted from model fermentation broths through a stripping phase-facilitated transport mechanism with four different green supported liquid membranes: two eutectic solvents (DL-menthol:OctA and N4444Cl:OctA), the bio-based solvent eucalyptol and the ionic liquid C4pyrr]Tf2N]. A permeability activity-based model that takes into account for the first time solute-phase affinities has been developed using the quantum chemical COSMO-RS method; the model corrects the mass transfer driving force and allows extraction predictions beyond the concentration equilibrium. The best recovery has been achieved experimentally for the eucalyptol-based SLM (concentration factor of 1.4) using an alkaline aqueous solution (0.5 M NaOH) as the stripping phase. A countercurrent cascade extraction process design is proposed, and a graphical method to determine the stage number, interstage concentrations as well as mass transfer area requirements is presented. This new tool, the Permeability Activity-Based Linear Operation (PABLO) method, will substantially enhance the process design of SLMs technology for the biorefinery industry.2022http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/11821310.1016/j.cej.2022.137253http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/118213oai:zaguan.unizar.es:118213info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/RYC2019-027060-IChemical Engineering Journal 446, 3 (2022), 137253 [11 pp]by-nchttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
