An adiabatic type of palladium membrane reactor for coupling endothermic and exothermic reactions

Optimization of hydrogen production via coupling of the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis reaction and dehydrogenation of cyclohexane in GTL technology

“…Itoh and Wu [14] used a palladium membrane reactor for adiabatic coupling of endothermic and exothermic reactions.…”

A novel approach for the preparation of highly stable Pd membrane on macroporous α-Al2O3 tube

“…Plantand pilot-plant scale separation and reactor units using palladium membrane were built for hydrogen production and purification, and for carbon dioxide sequestration [1][2][3][4][5]. Palladium membrane reactors for dehydrogenation [6][7][8][9], hydrogenation [10][11][12], selective oxidation [13][14][15] and fuel reforming [16][17][18] reactions are subject of academic and industrial interests. The high cost of material and fabrication remains an important obstacle for commercialization [1], and drives research and innovation in membrane synthesis [19][20][21][22][23].…”

Theoretical analysis of the effect of catalyst mass distribution and operation parameters on the performance of a Pd-based membrane reactor for water–gas shift reaction

“…It was found that the isothermal assumption over-predicts the reactor performance and the degree of overestimation depends on the operating conditions [14]. Some authors investigated endothermic reactions in packed-bed membrane reactors still assuming plug flow in both feed and permeate sides but taking into account the heat effects [15][16][17], while other authors coupled exothermic and endothermic reactions without considering the dispersion term in the mass and energy balances [18].…”
