Summary
Catalytic Membrane Reactors (CMRs), able to carry
out reactions and separations together, are potentially
capable of revolutionising the world of chemical
production. All catalytic syntheses and conversions in
the chemical industry are potentially within the
provinceofCMRs:mostareasyetunexplored.Intense
research activities have started worldwide for the
development of catalytic membranes (CMs)a and
CMRs for novel, extremely interesting fields of
application, such as gas phase reactions and
petrochemistry
