Claim 21:
22. A membrane reactor configured for transferring at least one molecule from a first fluid phase into a second fluid phase across an asymmetric porous hollow fiber membrane by contacting a first side of the asymmetric porous hollow fiber membrane with the first phase containing the at least one molecule dissolved in the first phase, contacting a second side of the asymmetric porous hollow fiber membrane with the second phase so that the first phase and the second phase come into contact through pores of the asymmetric porous hollow fiber membrane, and removing the first phase depleted of the at least one dissolved molecule from the first side of the asymmetric porous hollow fiber membrane while removing the second phase enriched with the at least one dissolved molecule from the second side of the asymmetric porous hollow fiber membrane, wherein the asymmetric porous hollow fiber membrane is formed by the process of claim 1.
