“…Generally, flow reactors are characterized by uninterrupted operation, good recyclability, and nonpolluting reaction products and are simple to purify. , In this regard, the development of an IL catalytic membrane reactor (CMR) combines reaction and separation in one unit, and following the strategy of process intensification, the whole process becomes simpler, and proper reactor design can not only improve the reaction yield or selectivity but also minimize costs associated with downstream separations. As reported, membrane reactors are divided into three categories, and the function of membrane extraction reactor is to selectively remove reaction products from the reaction mixture, such as esterification reaction, whereas membrane distributors realize the reaction by controlling the addition of reactants to the reaction mixture, i.e., partial reaction oxidation reaction . For membrane contactors, like an interfacial contactor or force flow-through, the reactants are supplied from two different sides or the premixed reactants are fed from the same side of the membrane in dead-end permeation mode .…”
