Development of a Non-Permselective Membrane Reactor for Catalytic Gas Phase Reactions.

摘要

In the thesis a novel kind of membrane reactor is studied. In this reactor a porous membrane is used to keep the bulk of reactants separated from each other and to allow the reactants to come together and react in a controlled way inside the membrane. Permselectivity of the membrane is not used in this system, this in contrast to the usual application of membranes. The reactants A and B are fed to the opposite sides of a porous membrane and diffuse into the membrane from either side. The reactants come together inside the membrane, where a catalyst has been impregnated, and react. (Copyright (c) 1991, H.J. Sloot, Hengelo, The Netherlands.)
