Coupling dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with hydrogenation of nitrobenzene in an autothermal catalytic membrane reactor

Dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene and hydrogenation of nitrobenzene form an interesting pair of reactions to be coupled in a catalytic membrane reactor. The former is reversible and thermodynamically limited, supplying hydrogen with a net endothermality, while the latter is irreversible and exothermic...
