Membrane reactors (MRs) exploit advanced membrane materials to replace conventional industrial technologies across a wide range of applications, offering enhanced efficiency, adaptability and economic potential. There has therefore been increasing interest in membrane reactors from both the scientific and industrial communities, stimulating research and development. The two volumes of the Handbook of membrane reactors draw on this research to provide an authoritative review of this important field.Volume one explores fundamental materials science, design and optimisation, beginning with a consideration of polymeric, dense metallic and composite membranes for membrane reactors in part one. Part two then goes on to investigate zeolite, ceramic and carbon membranes and catalysts for membrane reactors in more depth. Finally, part three explores membrane reactor modelling, simulation and optimisation.Volume two reviews reactor types and industrial applications, beginning in part one with a discussion of selected types of membrane reactor. Part two goes on to explore the use of membrane reactors in chemical and large-scale hydrogen production. Electrochemical devices and transport applications of membrane reactors are the focus of part three, before part four considers the use of membrane reactors in environmental engineering, biotechnology and medicine. Finally, the book concludes with a discussion of the economic aspects of membrane reactors.
