Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue comprises selected papers from the 16th International  Conference on Catalyst in Membrane reactors (ICCMR16) which was held from October 16th to 18th, 2023 in San Sebastián (Spain) organised by TECNALIA.

ICCMR16 presented research and progress in the area of catalytic membrane systems by bringing together scientists and industry professionals working in the membrane, catalysis, and process engineering fields. The meeting highlighted recent developments, brought forward new ideas, promoted networking, and created a platform for discussion. We strongly believe that all participants had a great opportunity to make beneficial contacts and exchange ideas. In addition, the conference also allowed young researchers to interact closely with senior scientists.

The specific program covered the following sections:

  1. Basics
  • Catalytic Membrane Reactors (one-phase and multiphase systems).
  • Catalytic Membrane Reactors (with catalytic membranes) vs. Inert Membrane Reactors (with inert membranes).
  • Catalysts and membrane design for process intensification.
  • Modelling and simulation for process optimization.
  1. Applications
  • Large-scale membrane reactors and membrane techniques integrated with industrial processes.
  • Photocatalytic membrane reactors and membrane reactors utilizing other advanced oxidation processes.
  • Electrochemical devices and transport applications of membrane reactors (fuel cells, electrolysers, electrochemical synthesis, etc.).
  • Membrane bioreactors in wastewater treatment and biotechnology (cells and enzymes).
  • Other membrane reactor applications (e.g., artificial organs and tissue engineering, etc.).

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

H2 production via membrane-assisted steam methane reforming (MA-SMR) can ensure higher energy efficiency and lower emissions compared to conventional reforming processes (SMR). Ceramic-supported Pd–Ag membranes have been extensively investigated for membrane-assisted steam methane reforming applications, with outstanding performance. However, costs, sealings for integration in the reactor structure, and resistance to solicitations remain challenging issues. In this work, the surface quality of a low-cost, porous Hastelloy-X filter is improved by asymmetric filling with α-Al2O3 of decreasing size and deposition of γ-Al2O3 as an interdiffusion barrier. On the modified support, a thin Pd–Ag layer was deposited via electroless plating (ELP), resulting in a membrane with H2/N2 selectivity >10,000. The permeation characteristics of the membrane were studied, followed by testing for membrane-assisted methane steam reforming. The results showed the ability of the membrane reactor to overcome thermodynamic conversion of the conventional process for all explored operating conditions, as well as ensuring 99.3% H2 purity in the permeate stream at 500 °C and 4 bar.
