Reviews to the project proposal: There is a strong need for a book on Catalytic Membranes and Membrane Reactors which covers all important aspects of the topic based on a well-balanced, multidisciplinary approach. I think, such a book should be written by Chemical Engineers or Reaction Engineers as the two recognized experts, Dr. Sanchez and Professor Tsotsis. Professor Tsotsis is one of the best people to write such a book. (Professor Kai Sundmacher, Institut für Verfahrenstechnik, Otto-von-Guericke Universität Magdeburg, Germany). Professor Tsotsis is an outstanding contributor and writer in the field, a world-renowned authority on this subject. Dr. Sanchez comes from a well-known research group and is in process of building his reputation.

(Professor Anthony G. Dixon, Dept. Chemical Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA, USA) Catalysis in membrane reactors is the subject of a very intense research. Professor Tsotsis is well known in the area. Dr. Sanchez is active in membrane research and has experience in bioreactors (Professor Jean-Alain Dalmon, University of Lyon, France) ".the first authoritative work in the field and will be useful for students and professionals." SIM News, Vol.

54, No. 1, January/February 04 "This book is the first to present an overview of the whole field of membrane reactors - and I mean the whole field, containing such contrasting applications as catalytic dehydrations and oxidations on one page and bioreactors on the next!" (S. Bitterlich, Ludwigshafen, Germany, Chemie Ingenieur Technik).
