abstract

a palladium composite membrane was prepared via electroless plating technique using organic-inorganic method during activation process. the ceramic support surface was modified by two tio2-boehmite and one γ-alumina layers to avoid pd penetration in support pores. thin and defect-free pd composite membrane was obtained by creating a relative smoothness on the ceramic support and using pd nanoparticles in the activated layer. the resulting membrane showed an infinite selectivity for h2/ar with h2 flux in the range of 0.005-0.035 mol/m2s depending on operating conditions. the hydrogen flux was linearly proportional to the pressure difference across the membrane at different temperatures and then the pressure exponent n was very close to 1. according to linear relationship of arrhenius plot, the activation energy ea of pd membrane was calculated to be 22.54 kj/mol. h2 permeance kept over 0.023 mol/m2s and the separation factor of h2/ar over infinite at 773 k for 240 h, confirming high potential of the prepared membrane in h2 purification at high temperatures.

Ultrasound-Assisted Pd Activation Process for Electroless Silver Plating

An ultrasound-assisted activation method for electroless silver plating is presented in this study. When the ultrasound was applied during the activation step, the amount of the Pd species adsorbed on substrate surfaces was higher than that of sample pretreated with a conventional activation process without ultrasound irradiation. With this activation method, it was also shown that the adsorbed...

Review of Supported Pd-Based Membranes Preparation by Electroless Plating for Ultra-Pure Hydrogen Production

In the last years, hydrogen has been considered as a promising energy vector for the oncoming modification of the current energy sector, mainly based on fossil fuels. Hydrogen can be produced from water with no significant pollutant emissions but in the nearest future its production from different hydrocarbon raw materials by thermochemical processes seems to be more feasible. In any case, a mi...

Preparation and characterization of polyethylene/ glass fiber composite membrane prepared via thermally induced phase separation method

Grinded glass fiber (GGF) embedded high density polyethylene (HDPE) membranes were prepared via thermally induced phase separation method. FESEM images showed that all the membranes had leafy structure, indicating a solid-liquid mechanism during phase separation. The results of EDX and TGA analyses confirmed that the fibers were dispersed in the HDPE matrix uniformly. Normalized water flux of t...

Novel Electroless Plating of Ruthenium for Fabrication of Palladium-Ruthenium Composite Membrane on PSS Substrate and Its Characterization

This paper focused on a novel method of electroless plating ruthenium (Ru) on solid or porous substrates like porous stainless steel (PSS) discs or ceramic tubes. A novel complexing plating bath of Ru was developed. It is proven that Ru can be deposited directly on these substrates by the bath at a temperature of 328 K and strong alkaline environment. TGA, SEM, EDX and XRD confirmed the success...
