With the objective of establishing a diffusion model of oxygen permeability and methanol oxidation with silver membrane, we develop experiments under controlled conditions of flow, temperature and pressures. The results of the products analyses with physical methods, VIS, IR and GC, have shown that the oxidation happens from a proportional way to the increment of the oxygen permeability and to the respective conditions.

Con el objetivo de establecer un modelo de difusión o permeación de oxigeno y oxidación de metanol con membrana de plata, desarrollamos experimentos bajo condiciones controladas de flujo, temperatura y presiones. Los resultados de los análisis de los productos por métodos físicos, VIS, IR y GC, han mostrado que la oxidación sucede de manera proporcional al incremento del oxigeno permeabilizado y a las condiciones respectivas.

To study the permeability of oxygen through a membrane of silver (thickness 0.13 mm) and the definition of parameters, it has designed and constructed a reactor formed by a cone silver membrane inserted into a cylindrical glass tube borosilicate. This assembly is assembled within a cylindrical thermostated oven electronically. The membrane reactor was conentado to an oxygen tank, and two peristaltic pump mercury manometer, enabling control of inflow of methanol, the temperature and internal pressure and desorption of the permeated oxygen. With this device have been performed subsequent studies of oxidative reactions in primary alcohols.
