Overview:
Catalytic membrane systems developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are based on
flexible, commercially viable inorganic membrane technology (metallic and/or ceramic)
with deposited catalytic nanoparticles or surface coatings. These catalytic materials
include zeolites, perovskites, metal carbides and nitrides, and metals/alloys. This
scalable platform is capable of operating under high temperature, high pressure, and
corrosive conditions and can be fabricated in tubular architectures, making it an
ideal membrane reactor system for both thermochemical and biochemical biomass conversion
applications.
