Abstract

Membrane reactors are of great interest in the chemical industries because they offer the possibility of improved yields, improved selectivities and more compact plant. However, a significant barrier to their uptake is the unavailability of membrane systems having the required performance at an acceptable cost. In this paper we will explore the use of one class of membrane that has the potential to deliver high performance at reasonable cost. Ion‐conducting ceramic membranes can be used in a wide range of high temperature applications including fuel cells, advanced reactors and even smart catalytic systems.
