Process Intensification using High Temperature Membrane Reactors in the Production of Bulk Chemicals
Direct catalytic dehydrogenation of alkanes retrieves increasing attention for on-demand production of light olefines. Those reactions are endothermic and typically subjected to thermodynamic limitations at lower reaction temperatures. A promising approach to positively influence the thermodynamic equilibrium is the application of integrated catalytic membrane reactors. By selective removal of hydrogen as a product the equilibrium can be shifted in respect to the alkane conversion according to the principle of Le Chatelier. For a later feasible process design information about catalyst and membrane kinetics as well as a combination thereof are required to match the space time yield of the catalytic reaction and the area time yield of the membrane permeation. In this seminar an experimental approach and the resulting potential of combination of catalysis and separation will be discussed.
