Abstract:
1. A method for generating an oxidation product gas comprising (a) providing an ion transport membrane oxidation system comprising (b) introducing one or more reactant feed gases into the reactant gas inlet region of a first stage of the two or more membrane oxidation stages; (c) introducing an oxidant gas into any of the oxidant gas inlet regions of the two or more membrane oxidation stages; (d) introducing a reactant interstage feed gas into any of the interstage reactant gas flow paths disposed between adjacent membrane oxidation stage or into any reactant zone of any stage receiving interstage reactant gas wherein the reactant interstage feed gas has a different composition than the one or more reactant feed gases introduced into the reactant gas inlet region of the first stage; and (e) withdrawing an oxidation gas product from the reactant gas outlet region of a last stage of the two or more membrane oxidation stages.
