Selectively permeable membrane type reactor

(canceled)

A selectively permeable membrane type reactor comprising a plurality of the selectively permeable membrane type reactors each of which comprises a catalyst for promoting a chemical reaction, a selectively permeable membrane which selectively allows a specific component to pass therethrough, and a carrier for disposing the catalyst and the selectively permeable membrane, the carrier being a tubular body having two or more gas passages (cells) partitioned and formed by a partition wall formed of a porous body, the catalyst being individually disposed in some of the cells, the selectively permeable membrane being individually disposed in the remainder of the cells, the cell (reaction cell) in which the catalyst is disposed and the cell (recovery cell) in which the selectively permeable membrane is disposed being adjacently disposed, the carrier including one center cell disposed to include a center axis of the carrier and two or more peripheral cells disposed adjacent to the center cell on a periphery of the center cell, the catalyst being disposed in either the center cell or the peripheral cells, and the selectively permeable membrane being disposed in the another, the selectively permeable membrane type reactors being integrated to form a composite reactor.
