Abstract

Propane dehydrogenation has been simulated for a composite membrane reactor and a microporous membrane reactor using plug‐flow reactor models, in which both were packed with Pt/Al~2~O~3~ catalyst in the tube‐side. The reaction kinetics employed in the analysis were obtained from experimental data produced in an integral fixed bed reactor with the same catalyst. Comparative studies were carried out to analyse the performances of reactors containing the different membranes in terms of contact time, flow pattern and flow rate of sweep gas, and pressure. In general, the composite membrane reactors gave the better performance for all cases investigated.

## Abstract A membrane reactor incorporating a hollow fiber with successive parts of oxygen permeable and passivated surface segments has been developed and was used for the oxidative dehydrogenation (DH) of propane. This membrane geometry allows a controlled oxygen feeding into the reactor over it

Composite membranes containing a thin-film layer of aromatic polyimides (PI) ensure an advantageous combination of selectivity and permeability in gas separation. A series of rigid-chain PI with different chemical structures were studied as a thin active layer. Composite membranes were prepared by c
