Membrane-assisted dehydrogenation of normal butane. M.E. Rezac, W.J. Koros and G.A. Perez. Ind. Engng. Chem. Res., March 1995, 34(3), 862--868.

Thermally stable polymer-ceramic composite membranes were evaluated for removing product hydrogen from the dehydrogenation system over a reaction temperature range from 480 to 540 degrees C. Butane dehydrogenation was studied as a model system and markedly increased yields of butene were obtained. At low temperatures the system was stable for run times over 550 hours. The results were as predicted from thermodynamic calculations. It should therefore be possible to predict results for more complicated systems. 33 refs.
