J. Herguido et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF POROUS CERAMIC MEMBRANES FOR THEIR USE IN CATALYTIC REACTORS FOR METHANE OXIDATIVE COUPLING, Catalysis today, 25(3-4), 1995, pp. 263-269
Catalytic inorganic membranes were prepared by depositing active mater
ials over porous alumina tubes, using sol-gel and impregnation techniq
ues. The concentration profiles of the different species in the membra
ne were obtained using XPS. Also, the stability of the membranes was t
ested by subjecting the samples to different thermal treatments. Diffe
rent preparation methods are compared with the aim of attaining contro
lled distributions of the active phases in the membrane. Finally, some
reaction results are also presented.
