Catalytic Membranes & Catalytic Membrane Reactors [Hardcover]

José G. Sanchez Marcano (Author), Theodore T. Tsotsis (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 3527302778 | ISBN-13: 978-3527302772 | Publication Date: June 15, 2002 | Edition: 1st

Membrane reactors are an inherently multidisciplinary concept combining chemical reaction engineering, separation technology, materials science, and mathematical modelling aspects. They couple chemical reactions with membrane separation and provide a more compact and less capital intensive system design, but also often improved performance in terms of enhanced selectivity and/or yield.
This authoritative work encompasses a broad treatment of the field, including the basic principles of membrane reactors, a comparative study of these and other classical reactors, modelling, industrial applications, emerging applications, etc.
This is the first point of reference when it comes to applying the membrane reactor concept to research or to production: The novice can grasp the elementary concepts, and the professional can familiarize themselves with the most recent developments in the area. For the industrial practitioner the book covers all important current, and potential future applications.

"...the first authoritative work in the field and will be useful for students and professionals..." (SIM News, Vol. 54, No. 1, January/February 2004)

Review

Reviews to the project proposal:

There is a strong need for a book on Catalytic Membranes and Membrane Reactors which covers all important aspects of the topic based on a well-balanced, multidisciplinary approach. I think, such a book should be written by Chemical Engineers or Reaction Engineers as the two recognized experts, Dr. Sanchez and Professor Tsotsis. Professor Tsotsis is one of the best people to write such a book.
--Professor Kai Sundmacher, Institut für Verfahrenstechnik, Otto-von-Guericke Universität Magdeburg, Germany

Professor Tsotsis is an outstanding contributor and writer in the field, a world-renowned authority on this subject. Dr. Sanchez comes from a well-known research group and is in process of building his reputation.
--Professor Anthony G. Dixon, Dept. Chemical Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, USA

Catalysis in membrane reactors is the subject of a very intense research. Professor Tsotsis is well known in the area. Dr. Sanchez is active in membrane research and has experience in bioreactors
