The tubular inorganic catalytic membrane (TICM) reactor is a novel multiphase solution for advanced chemical or environmental technologies. The advantages of the use of this technology are discussed with reference to two types of applications: (i) water remediation technologies by catalytic hydrogenation (nitrate removal and chlorinated hydrocarbon dehalogenation) and (ii) H2O2 synthesis by H2+O2 reaction, both occurring over Pd-type catalysts supported over porous inorganic membranes. Some examples of the behaviour of these catalytic membranes are given in long-term tests in nitrate reduction, in chloroform dehalogenation and in H2O2 synthesis. |
