The second way to increase the membrane area per volume of reactor is adopting the hollow fibre configuration. For example, in the case of perovskite membranes, the membrane flux is generally quite low and the hollow fibre configuration is quite interesting. The main investigators of hollow fibre MRs are summarized in Table 3.3. 

Kleinert et al. [26] studied, for example, POM in a hollow fibre MR. The perovskite membranes used by the authors were produced from Ba(Co,Fe,Zr)03 (BCFZ) powder via phase inversion spinning technique. A tube-in-tube configuration was used while the catalyst was packed in the shell side of the reactor.

After this chapter. Part 11 is dedicated to zeolite, ceramic and carbon membranes and catalysts used in membrane reactors. In Chapter 6 (Algieri, Comite and Capannelli) the remarkable properties of zeolite membranes are illustrated. Moreover, the key role of zeolite membrane reactors to improve the yield and the selectivity of reactions is particularly emphasised. Furthermore, the possibility of using zeolite membranes as micro-reactors and sensors is also discussed. Chapter 7 (Tan and Li) deals with dense ceramic membrane reactors, which are made from composite oxides usually having perovskite or fluorite structures with appreciable mixed ionic (oxygen ion and/or proton) and electronic conductivity. This chapter mainly describes the principles of various configurations (disc/flat-sheet, tubular and hollow fibre membranes) of dense ceramic membrane reactors and the...
