A broad treatment of the field is offered here, encompassing basic principles of membrane reactors, a comparative study of membrane and classical reactors, modeling, industrial applications, and emerging applications. There are chapters on catalytic membrane separation processes, pervaporation membrane reactors, membrane bioreactors, modeling of membrane reactors, and economic and technical feasibility issues of membrane reactor processes. The book is useful for students and professionals in chemical reaction engineering, separation technology, materials science, and mathematical modeling. Annotation c.

Reviews to the project proposal:
There is a strong need for a book on Catalytic Membranes and Membrane Reactors which covers all important aspects of the topic based on a well–balanced, multidisciplinary approach. I think, such a book should be written by Chemical Engineers or Reaction Engineers as the two recognized experts, Dr. Sanchez and Professor Tsotsis. Professor Tsotsis is one of the best people to write such a book.

Professor Tsotsis is an outstanding contributor and writer in the field, a world–renowned authority on this subject. Dr. Sanchez comes from a well–known research group and is in process of building his reputation.
––Professor Anthony G. Dixon, Dept. Chemical Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, USA
Catalysis in membrane reactors is the subject of a very intense research. Professor Tsotsis is well known in the area. Dr. Sanchez is active in membrane research and has experience in bioreactors
