Abstract
A membrane reactor includes a catalyst layer, a separation membrane, and a buffer layer. The catalyst layer contains a catalyst for promoting a conversion reaction from a feed gas containing hydrogen and carbon oxide to a liquid fuel. The separation membrane is permeable to water vapor which is a byproduct of the conversion reaction. The buffer layer is disposed between the separation membrane and the catalyst layer, and permeable to the water vapor toward the separation membrane.
Claims10
A membrane reactor comprising:
- a catalyst layer containing a catalyst for promoting a conversion reaction from a feed gas containing hydrogen and carbon oxide to a liquid fuel;
- a separation membrane being permeable to water vapor which is a byproduct of the conversion reaction;
- and
- a buffer layer being permeable to the water vapor toward the separation membrane, the buffer layer being disposed between the separation membrane and the catalyst layer;
- wherein the buffer layer and the catalyst layer are disposed on a non-permeate side of the separation membrane, and constitute a porous support for supporting the separation membrane.
