title: Natural gas to fuels and chemicals: improved methane aromatization in an oxygen-permeable membrane reactor.
abstract: Adding value with membranes: Improved methane aromatization was achieved by using an oxygen-permeable membrane. The resulting membrane reactor shows a superior methane conversion and a higher resistance towards catalyst deactivation.
