Porous ceramic membranes for membrane reactors

摘要: This chapter discusses the research and development of porous ceramic membranes their application as membrane reactors (MRs) for both gas liquid phase reaction separation. The most commonly used preparation techniques synthesis are introduced first followed by a discussion various to characterise microstructure, pore network, permeation separation behaviour. To further understand structure-property relationships involved, an overview relevant transport mechanisms is presented here. Studies involving MRs then reviewed. Of importance here that while general mesoporous nature these does not allow excellent separation, they still more than capable enhancing conversion selectivity acting either product separator or reactant distributor. closes presenting future directions considerations MRs.
