"Membranes for Membrane Reactors Preparation, Optimization and Selection Editors Angelo Basile Institute of Membrane Technology, ITM-CNR c/o University of Calabria, Rende (CS), Italy and Fausto Gallucci Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands A membrane reactor is a device for simultaneously performing a reaction and a membrane-based separation in the same physical device. Therefore, the membrane not only plays the role of a separator, but also takes place in the reaction itself. This text covers, in detail, the preparation and characterisation of all types of membranes used in membranes reactors. Each membrane synthesis process used by membranologists is explained by well known...
