Fixed- or packed-bed reactors refer to two-phase systems in which the reacting fluid flows through a tube filled with stationary catalyst particles or pellets (Smith, 1981). As in the case of ion-exchange and adsorption processes, fixed bed is the most frequently used operation for catalysis (Froment and Bischoff, 1990 Schmidt, 2005). Some examples in the chemical industry are steam reforming, the synthesis of sulfuric acid, ammonia, and methanol, and petroleum refining processes such as catalytic reforming, isomerization, and hydrocracking (Froment and Bischoff, 1990). 

Catalytic membrane reactors are not yet commercial. In fact, this is not surprising. When catalysis is coupled with separation in one vessel, compared to separate pieces of equipment, degrees of freedom are lost. The MECR is in that respect more promising for the short term. Examples are the dehydrogenation of alkanes in order to shift the equilibrium and the methane steam reforming for hydrogen production (29,30). An enzyme-based example is the hydrolysis of fats described in the following.

Without a doubt, a complete picture of the dynamics of dissociative chemisorption and the relevant parameters which govern these mechanisms would be incredibly useful in studying and improving industrially relevant catalysis and surface reaction processes. For example, the dissociation of methane on a supported metal catalyst surface is the rate limiting step in the steam reforming of natural gas, an initial step in the production of many different industrial chemicals [1]. Precursor-mediated dissociation has been shown to play a dominant role in epitaxial silicon growth from disilane, a process employed to produce transistors and various microelectronic devices [2].

As discussed above in the reforming of hydrocarbon fuels, H2 can be produced from alcohol fuels by at least three major catalytic processes, namely steam reforming, partial oxidation and ATR or oxidative steam reforming. The chemistry, thermodynamics, and recent developments in catalysis of methanol and ethanol reforming with steam for H2 production will be discussed in this section.
