Novel Oxidative Membrane Reactor for Dehydrogenation Reactions

Renni Zhao, Naotsugu Itoh, Rakesh Govind

Abstract

The use of a membrane reactor for shifting equilibrium controlled dehydrogenation reactions results in increased conversion, lower reaction temperatures and fewer by-products. Results will be presented on a palladium membrane reactor system for dehydrogenation of 1-butene to butadiene, with oxidation of permeating hydrogen to water on the permeation side. The heat released by the exothermic oxidation reaction is utilized for the endothermic dehydrogenation reaction.
