Catalytic Inorganic-Membrane Reactors: Present Experience and Future Opportunities

Abstract

Abstract A membrane is commonly regarded as a barrier capable of being selectively permeated by some components of a mixture or, at least, of changing the composition of a fluid stream that flows through it due to a certain driving force (a pressure, concentration, or electric potential gradient). Permselectivity is thus considered as the most distinctive property of a membrane. Key Words: CatalysisInorganic membraneReactor
