STUDIES OF HYDROGEN SORPTION ON PALLADIUM AND THE SEPARATION OF HYDROGEN FROM GAS MIXTURES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4150269

A process was developed for separating hydrogen from such gases as helium and nitrogen by sorption on finely divided palladium at --78 to -- 100 deg C. The gas mixture is passed once through a palladium bed which removes more than 99.98% of the hydrogen while the remainder of the gas mixture is pumped through. The hydrogen can be recovered from the bed by evolution at 200 to 350 deg C. The hydrogen recovered by this process has a purity of better than 99.9%. (auth)
