Reviewer 1 Report
Dear Authors,
your research is really interesting and well written.
In my opinion, all sections are clear.
Introduction provides sufficient background.
The aim of the paper is appropriately described.
The methodology is appropriate.
The results are adequate and the conclusions are related to the results.
Finally, English language and style are fine.
Reviewer 2 Report
The article is devoted to the actual problem of the investigation of Emulsion Liquid Membranes to estimate their stability and ability to extract chosen substances. Fulfilled studies resulted in answers on important questions about conditions when the extraction of Cr demonstrates the high efficiency. The work is fulfilled on the appropriate scientific level, experiments are described with sufficient details, data are discussed with persuasive arguments. Because of that I recommend this article for publication in Membranes.
Reviewer 3 Report
Authors report a study on the stability of Emulsion Liquid Membranes and their ability to extract Cr(VI).
The work is complete and well structured. The description of experimental procedure is detailed and results critically analyzed and commented, evidencing that, if appropriate stabilizers are used, ELMs can be efficiently used for Cr(VI) estraction.
I think the manuscript can be accepted in this form and it needs no revision.
