Introduction – A Review of Membrane Reactors

Abstract

In the last decades, membrane catalysis has been studied by several research and the significant progress in this field is summarized in several review articles

Green technology in wastewater treatment technologies: Integration of membrane bioreactor with various wastewater treatment systems

“…However, in conventional anaerobic biological treatments, the net biomass lost to the effluent is higher due to the poor settling characteristics of the biomass. Besides that, conventional anaerobic biological treatments were also not effective in removing residual levels of soluble and colloidal contaminant with poorer gas capture, poorer odour control, limited ability to capture nutrients and expensive de-sludging processes [63,64].…”

Potential of Pervaporation and Vapor Separation with Water Selective Membranes for an Optimized Production of Biofuels—A Review

“…Some important reviews concerning the types of membrane, reactor configuration and modeling [21,35,[42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49], specific applications, and hybrid processes realized on an industrial scale [50] have been published [1,9,21,[41][42][43]47,[51][52][53][54][55][56]. In a hybrid process, several possibilities exist to implement the PV or VP modules and the membrane separation devices and the reactor can be separated into two units or integrated into a single one [53,55].…”

Zeolite Catalysis

“…However, the special implementation of zeolite membranes in membrane reactors, where catalysis and selective separation are combined in the same unit, could offer several advantages in comparison to the conventional reactor (CR) configuration and is considered a promising concept to overcome limitations in the performance of catalytic reactors [22,30,[137][138][139][140].…”
