This authoritative work represents a broad treatment of the field, including the basic principles of membrane reactors, a comparative study of these and other classical reactors, modeling, industrial applications, and emerging applications. This is the first point of reference when it comes to applying the membrane reactor concept to research or to production: The novice can grasp the elementary concepts, while professionals can familiarize themselves with the most recent developments in the area. For the industrial practitioner, the book covers all important current and potential future applications.

Professor Theodore Tsotsis is the Vivian Chair in Energy Resources and Chair of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Southern California, USA. He holds a PhD in chemical engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Prof. Tsotsis has done groundbreaking research in chemical reaction engineering, catalysis and membrane reactors and authored well over 100 papers. Dr. Jose Sanchez-Marcano is the Leader of the Chemical Engineering of Membrane Processes Group at the Institut Européen des Membranes, Montpellier, France. His research focuses on Membrane Processes for Gas Separation, Membrane Contactors and Catalytic Membrane Reactors and Modelling and Simulation of Membrane and Coupled Processes. Dr. Sanchez-Marcano was awarded his PhD from the Aix-Marseilles III University in France.
