Ni-BZCYYb HYDROGEN SEPARATION MEMBRANE FOR THE INTEGRATION OF HYDROGEN PRODUCTION AND HYDROGEN SEPARATION BY ETHANOL REFORMING

Development of Palladium-Alloy Membranes for Hydrogen Separation and Purification

This paper summarizes R&D activities and progress at NORAM Engineering and the University of British Columbia (UBC) on preparation and testing of thin palladium-based membranes and their applications. Most of these activities were carried out internally at NORAM, some jointly with UBC and their spin-off company, Membrane Reactor Technology (MRT) through a wide range of projects. Key results out...

Heat and Power Integration Opportunities in Methane Reforming based Hydrogen Production with PSA separation

Hydrogen is getting increasing attention by government and industry leaders, [1], as a very environmentally attractive and clean fuel because its oxidation leads only to water formation. There is abundance of hydrogen in nature, although it is only available for exploitation in a combined state, either in water, hydrocarbons, or coal [2]. Its recovery from these natural resources requires the a...

Sustainable Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Bio-Ethanol Steam Reforming

Non-thermal Arc Plasma for Ethanol Reforming and Hydrogen Production

Non-thermal plasma, also called non equilibrium arc plasma, is a kind of low temperature plasma. Thermal arc plasma is usually driven by a high power supply and characterized by a high current (several amperes to tens of amperes) and a small low voltage (tens of voltage). It is a kind of strongly self-sustaining high-temperature discharge. Unlike thermal plasma, non-thermal arc plasma is usuall...

Preparation of BaCe0.9Yb0.1O3-δ asymmetrical membrane for hydrogen separation at high tempratures

A mixed proton–electron conducting perovskite was synthesized by liquid-citrate method and the corresponding membrane was prepared by pressing followed by sintering. The hydrogen permeability of BaCe0.9Yb0.1O3-δ was studied as a function of temperature and hydrogen partial pressure (PH2) gradient. Using 100% dry hydrogen at 1173 K, the hydrogen permeation rate of dense membranes (1.63 mm thick)...
