Thermochemically stable ceramic composite membranes based on Bi2O3 for oxygen separation with high permeability

Supported Dense Ceramic Membranes for Oxygen Separation

Hybrid Molten/Solid In2O3-Bi2O3 Oxygen Ion Transport Membranes

The hybrid molten/solid In2O3 - 30-48 wt.% Bi2O3 oxide materials were studied with respect to their transport properties. The conductivities, oxygen ion transport numbers and oxygen permeation fluxes have been measured by using the four-probe DC, volumetric measurements of the faradaic efficiency and gas flow techniques, respectively. We show that the...

Dense Ceramic Membranes for Hydrogen Separation

In the 1980s and 1990s, the development of oxygen ion conductors for solid electrolytes, as well as mixed oxygen–electron conductors as electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells, brought scientists to envision a possibility of mixed-conducting oxygenpermeable ceramic membranes. Today this field is well established, and ceramic membranes are close to implementation in processes for oxygen extraction...

Dense Ceramic Membranes for Hydrogen Separation

Novel cermet (i.e., ceramic-metal composite) membranes have been developed for separating hydrogen from product streams that are generated during coal gasification, methane partial oxidation, and watergas shift reactions. The hydrogen permeation rate in the temperature range of 600-900°C has been measured for three classes (ANL-1, -2, and -3) of cermet membranes. ANL-3 membranes provided the hi...
