  • Processes utilising selectively permeable membranes
    Patent number: 9895652
    Abstract: The present invention relates to processes utilizing hydrogen species selectively permeable membranes for synthesis of products. The present invention also relates to processes for synthesizing products from hydrogen insertion or hydrogenation reactions utilizing hydrogen species permeable membranes. The present invention also relates to processes for synthesizing ammonia utilizing hydrogen species selectively permeable membranes. The membranes provide surfaced modified membranes that can comprise a porous layer containing a plurality of reactive sites comprising a metal species and a catalyst for promoting a reaction within the layer.
    Type: Grant
