Analysis of Mass Transport through Anisotropic, Catalytic/Bio-Catalytic Membrane Reactors

Selective Mass Transport of CO2 Containing Mixtures through Zeolite Membranes

In this work, the main aspects regarding the permeation of mixtures containing CO2 and permanent gases such as H2 , N2 and CH4 through zeolite membranes have been investigated, focusing on the description of the mass transport mechanisms taking place inside the pores. First, a brief overview about the performance of the main zeolite membranes used in gas separation (e.g. DDR, CHA, AEI, FAU, etc...

Mass transport with varying diffusion- and solubility coefficient through a catalytic membrane layer

The mass transport, accompanied by chemical reaction through membrane reactor has been investigated in the case of varying diffusion coefficient and solubility coefficient. In the reality, both parameters might depend on the concentration and/or on the inhomogeneity of the membrane layer. General mathematical models were developed to describe the mass transport, taking into account the external...

Catalytic membrane-installed microchannel reactors for one-second allylic arylation.

A variety of catalytic membranes of palladium-complexes with linear polymer ligands were prepared inside a microchannel reactor via coordinative and ionic molecular convolution to provide catalytic membrane-installed microdevices, which were applied to the instantaneous allylic arylation reaction of allylic esters and aryl boron reagents under microflow conditions to afford the corresponding co...

Reverse Flow Catalytic Membrane Reactors for Energy Efficient Syngas Production

Natural gas is becoming an increasingly important energy source, due to the increasing energy demands and declining oil reserves, whereas large volumes of natural gas are still widely available at remote locations. In view of the existing infrastructure for liquid fuels, natural gas is most efficiently used in the transport sector by converting it to liquid fuels via the Gas-To-Liquid process. ...
