Item Membrane reactors using metallic membranes(Elsevier, 2020-01-08) Gallucci, Fausto; Pacheco Tanaka, D. A.; Medrano, J. A.; Viviente Sole, J. L.; TECNOLOGÍA DE MEMBRANAS E INTENSIFICACIÓN DE PROCESOSA very interesting application of metallic membranes is their integration in multifunctional reactors called membrane reactors. This integration allows carrying out reaction and separation in a single device, which results in higher yields and milder conditions compared with conventional reactor systems. These results translate in lower CAPEX (because of reduction of reaction volume and circumventing downstream separations) and reduction of OPEX (because of milder conditions used in the reactor). This chapter introduces the concept of membrane reactors and gives an overview of the latest results achieved in membrane reactor performance and operation.Item Metallic membranes for hydrogen separation(Elsevier, 2020-01-08) Pacheco Tanaka, D. A.; Medrano, J. A.; Viviente Sole, J. L.; Gallucci, Fausto; TECNOLOGÍA DE MEMBRANAS E INTENSIFICACIÓN DE PROCESOSHydrogen separation is one of the larger applications of metallic membranes. Mostly, palladium (Pd)-based membranes have been developed and used for this application because of their high flux and high permselectivity. This chapter will discuss in more detail the production and use of supported and unsupported membranes for hydrogen separation. Particularly, the supported thin film Pd membranes are discussed in more detail as these are the closest to the market. Production methods are discussed along with the pros and cons of these types of membranes.Item An overview of some recent european projects on metallic membranes(Elsevier, 2020-01-08) Viviente Sole, J. L.; Pacheco Tanaka, D. A.; Medrano, J. A.; Gallucci, Fausto; TECNOLOGÍA DE MEMBRANAS E INTENSIFICACIÓN DE PROCESOSMetallic membranes and membrane reactors have become very popular tools for several process intensification strategies. This is being well recognized at European level, where several projects have been granted in the course of the last three Framework Programs on both membranes as separation tools and especially membrane reactors as process integration tools. This chapter, although not exhaustive (especially because of confidentiality issues), gives a good overview of the recent results of several EU-funded projects. It is worth noting that, apart from these projects, each country has also granted research projects on membrane reactors. These are not discussed in this chapter, although many results have already been reported in other chapters.
