Knoevenagel condensation reaction in a membrane microreactor.
A multi-channel membrane microreactor was fabricated and tested for Knoevenagel condensation of benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate using Cs-exchanged faujasite NaX as the catalyst; the membrane microreactor achieves supra-eqiulibrium conversion at higher product purity.
