Esterleşme Reaksiyonlarında Katalitik Membran Destekli Pervaporasyon Uygulamaları

Abstract

The development of the chemical industry has resulted in the usage more solvents in various chemical and physical processes. The increase in the amount of used solvent also increases the economic burden to the industry. The recovery, reuse, and purification of solvents became the essential requirements of the industry. In addition, the obtainment of high-quality, economic product with low environmental impact and high yield is important. The catalytic membrane aided pervaporation application is considered as one of the new alternative solutions of both reaction and separation problems in the industries. Catalytic membrane aided pervaporation application is one of the developing membrane technologies. It is a hybrid and integrated process combining separation and reaction units. This article is concentrated on catalytic membrane aided pervaporation applications of the esterification reactions. Some important information about catalytic membrane, pervaporation and catalytic membrane aided pervaporation has been firstly reported. Different configurations of catalytic membrane aided pervaporation have been defined and explained. Advantages of the hybrid catalytic membrane aided pervaporation processes have been listed. The factors affecting the catalytic membrane aided pervaporation are briefly discussed. The important catalytic membrane aided pervaporation, reaction conditions and the obtained results in literature are also summarized. The important catalytic membrane aided pervaporation studies in literature, operation conditions and the obtained results have been summarized.
