2014 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Membrane Reactors

Membrane reactors are used to improve process performance in a growing range of applications, including bioremediation, chemical and petrochemical processing, cell culture, and immobilized enzymes. This session will focus on recent advances and novel applications of membranes in membrane reactors. Papers are sought that describe new developments in membrane reactor fundamentals and applications.
