Separation of hydrogen using thin film palladium-ceramic composite membrane
The primary objective of this study was to prepare and characterize a hydrogen permselective palladium-ceramic composite membrane for high temperature gas separations and catalytic membrane reactors. Electroless plating method was used as a potential route to deposit a thin palladium film on microporous ceramic substrate. The objectives of the work presented here were to characterize the new Pd-ceramic composite membrane by SEM and EDX analysis and to carry out fundamental permeability measurements of the membrane at elevated temperatures and pressures. The potential application of membranes in high temperature gas separation and reactor technology have been recognized by many investigators. In the coal gasification process, the exit gases are normally hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and water vapor. The objective is to obtain hydrogen from this gas mixture.
