Summary: | A membrane reactor with divergent-flow channel includes a reaction pipeline, a membrane and a purge (sweep) pipeline sequentially arranged from inside to outside or from outside to inside. The reaction pipeline has a cross-sectional area increment from the front (upstream) end to the rear (downstream) end, so that the flow velocity of a reactant gas is decreased from the upstream end to the downstream end to extend the residence time of the reactant gas and improve the reaction rate of the reactant gas. The sweep pipeline has a cross-sectional area decrement from the upstream end to the downstream end, so that the flow velocity of a purging (sweeping) gas is increased from the upstream end to the downstream end to accelerate the reactant gas, and a product gas generated from the reaction passes through the membrane and enters the sweep pipeline to improve the reaction efficiency. |
