Chemical Membrane Reactors

Review Article | Chemical membrane reactors combine a chemical reaction with an in-situ removal/import of products/educts through a permselective membrane. The corresponding reactors are named extractor-type or distributor-type membrane reactors. Three recent examples for boosting a chemical reaction in an extractor-type membrane reactor with water-selective zeolite membranes and three examples for distributor-type membrane reactors with oxygen-selective ceramic membranes will be discussed.
