Title: Characterization and Optimization of Catalytic Membrane Reactor (CMR) for Isomerization of m-xylene
Over the past decades, membrane processes have found broad application for a wide range of separations. When it comes to combination with reaction or conversion, membranes have mainly found application in a sequential mode. That is, reaction followed by separation. However, a membrane reactor integrates conversion and separation. In the past few years, several reviewed papers have emerged, usually covering parts of the success in the application of membrane reactor [Dixon, 1999; Saracco and Specchia, 1994; Saracco et al, 1999; Sirkar et al, 1999; Tsotsis et al, 1993]. The advantages of membrane reactors as compared to sequential reaction-separation systems include increase in reaction rate, reduction in by-product formation, lowering of energy requirement and possibility of heat integration. These advantages potentially lead to compact process equipment that can be operated with a high degree of flexibility. Because of the reduced by-product formation and the more efficient use of energy, the development of membrane reactor clearly fits into the scope of developing sustainable process for the future [Kemmere and Keurentjes, 2001]. Recently, research efforts have been channeled towards the use of MFI-zeolite membrane for separation of xylene mixture because of its low -energy consumption compared to convectional techniques [Flanders et al, 2000; Baertsch et al, 1996; Xomeritakis et al, 2001; Sakai et al, 2001]. Alshebani et al, in their work, proposed the use of hollow fiber zeolite membranes for gas separation because of their low cost and much higher surface /volume ratio than MFI-zeolite tubular membranes [Alshebani et al, 2007]. For these reasons, this research employs the use of hollow and tubular zeolite membranes to further get deeper insight into their behaviours in terms of thermal stability, permeability and permselectivity using xylene isomerization as a model reaction.
