<DIV>Membrane reactors (MRs) use advanced membrane materials, design and manufacturing to replace conventional industrial separations, processes and conversion technologies across a wide range of applications. By directly coupling a separation step with a reaction, MRs offer high thermodynamic efficiency, increasing throughput potential. This integrated processing offers both lower cost operation and the opportunity for process intensification in such fields as chemical and biochemical engineering, and in energy and environmental technologies. Increasing interest from both the scientific and industrial communities into MRs continues to stimulate research and development in this important field. <br><BR>This two-volume work provides a comprehensive and systematic reference on membrane reactor science and technology, from basic phenomena to the most advanced applications and future perspectives. Volume 2 reviews reactor types and industrial applications. The editor and contributors review selected types of membrane reactor and their integration in established industrial processes and address applications in chemical and hydrogen production, transport, environmental engineering and biotechnology.</div>
