Gm. Ciric et al., CONVERSION ENHANCEMENT OF EQUILIBRIUM-LIMITED REACTIONS IN A 2-MEMBRANE REACTOR, Separation science and technology, 32(9), 1997, pp. 1513-1527
Analysis of two-membrane reactor performance is carried out on a simpl
e, perfectly mixed reactor model. The influence of the design and oper
ating parameters and physical properties of the system on conversion f
or equilibrium reactions of the type A <-> B + C have been studied. Al
so, the effects of the presence of inerts at both the reaction and per
meation sides of the reactor have been discussed. It has been shown th
at the two-membrane reactor exhibits superior performance as compared
to the single-membrane reactor.
