In this paper, produced hydrogen as a byproduct during methanol dehydrogenation to methyl formateprocess is separated and recovered by Pd-Ag membrane. COMSOL Multiphysics 5.3 software is used toevaluate the hydrogen recovery according to membrane properties. It is shown that increasing the membranelength improves the hydrogen recovery. In addition, reaction and separation temperature affect the hydrogenproduction flux.
