Abstract

A silica-polyethylene membrane has been chemically modified to produce ion-exchangeable onium sites, which are more active than their homogeneous analogues in a membrane reactor. The resulting catalytic membrane reactor is compact and energy efficient and provides an excellent low-waste method for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol.
