Propylene oxidation using Pt-alumina impregnated catalytic membrane reactor.

Kajama, Mohammed; Nwogu, Ngozi Claribelle; Gobina, Edward

Abstract

Pt/{esc}gc{esc}s-Al2O3 membrane was prepared through the evaporative-crystallization deposition method for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) destruction. SEM-EDXA observation, BET measurement, permeability assessment and the catalytic oxidation of propylene was obtained. Nearly 80% propylene conversion was achieved by varying the reaction temperature using flow-through catalytic membrane reactor operating in the Knudsen flow regime.
