Handbook Of Menbrane Reactors Vol 2

• Discusses integration of membrane technology with industrial processes
• Studies the use of membrane reactors in chemical and large-scale hydrogen production from fossil fuels
• Considers electrochemical devices and transport applications of membrane reactors
• Considers using membrane reactors in environmental engineering, biotechnology and medicine

Membrane reactors are gradually replacing conventional separation, process and conversion technologies across a wide range of applications. Exploiting advanced membrane materials, they offer improved efficiency, are very adaptable and have great 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 offer an authoritative review of this important field.

Volume 2 studies reactor types and industrial applications, beginning in part one with a discussion of selected types of membrane reactor and integration of the technology with industrial processes. Part two goes on to explore the use of membrane reactors in chemical and large-scale hydrogen production from fossil fuels. 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 ends with a discussion of the economic aspects of membrane reactors.

With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, the two volumes of the Handbook of membrane reactors provide an authoritative guide for membrane reactor researchers and materials scientists, chemical and biochemical manufacturers, industrial separations and process engineers, and academics in this field.
