Carbon dioxide membrane reactor case

Similar to the case of dehydrogenation or other hydrogen-generating reactions, the use of a dense membrane reactor to remove oxygen from an oxygen-generating reaction such as decomposition of carbon dioxide displaces the reaction equilibrium and increases the conversion from 1.2% (limited by the equilibrium) to 22% [Nigara and Cales, 1986]. This has been confumed by Itoh et al. [1993].
