A REACTOR WITH CATALYTIC MEMBRANE PERMEATED BY HYDROGEN

Abstract
A hydrogenation reactor with palladium as a membrane selectively permeated by hydrogen was designed. This reactor has some advantageous characteristics: (1) Reaction by permeate hydrogen makes it possible to omit one separation process. (2) Reaction rate is controlled by changing the permeation rate through the hydrogen pressure. In the present study, it was elucidated that the reaction by permeate hydrogen was much faster than that by gaseous hydrogen when the other reactant affected the hydrogen adsorption strongly.
