Ultra-thin, high performance composite palladium membrane, developed via a novel electroless plating method, was applied to construct a membrane reactor for methane steam reforming reaction, which was investigated under the following working conditions: temperature 723–823 K, pressure 300–900 kPa, gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) 4000–8000 mL g 1 cat h , steam-to-carbon feed ratio (S/C, mol/mol...

Abstract The functioning of hydrogen selective metal membranes relies on the fine‐tuned interaction their surfaces with inner bulk. link between permeation and surface concentration is unveiled using a novel combination thin film preparation science analysis to probe intentionally modify properties palladium vanadium composite membranes. in situ allows for observation ultra‐clean hydrogenation ...

The aim of this work theoretical study is to theoretically investigate a inorganic membrane assisted purifcation process of an H2-rich stream derived from a conventional methanol steam reforming stage. In particular, a black-box model for multicomponent gas mixture purifcation is dev...

The layered ternary chalcogenide, palladium phosphorous sulphide (PdPS), and its composite with reduced graphene oxide are shown to be efficient hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts. The Tafel slope and the exchange current density values associated with hydrogen evolution reaction are determined to be 46 mV dec(-1) and 1.4 × 10(-4) A cm(-2) respectively.

Among the unconventional approaches of supporting catalyst nanoparticles, layer-by-layer assembly polyelectrolyte multilayers for nanoparticle adsorption represents an easy and convenient method. It enables deposition singularly adsorbed nanoparticles prevents them from aggregating. In this work, polydopamine was grafted onto internal surface a Teflon AF-2400 tubular membrane, known its excelle...

Pd-based membranes are attracting great attention to reach ultra-pure hydrogen in independent separators or combined with catalysts membrane reactors. Many advances have been proposed for their fabrication over the last few years, reaching relatively thin Pd-films onto porous substrates high permeation capacities and mechanical stability, although commercialization penetration industry still sc...

Pd(II)-chitosan composite nanofibres of 62 ± 9 nm diameter are efficient catalysts for Heck cross-coupling reactions. Using a model reaction of iodo-benzene and n-butyl acrylate, we demonstrate that this material can be used as a recyclable catalytic support with a very low loading of palladium (0.17 mol% Pd).

Palladium holds a unique position among the metallic elements in being able to take into solution large quantities of hydrogen while simultaneously retaining a high degree of ductility. These attributes coupled with the high mobility or rate of diffusion of hydrogen in the lattice have been exploited in the use of palladium and subsequently of palladiumbased alloys as hydrogen diffusion membran...

A PEBAX-nano zeolite X mixed matrix membrane was fabricated and operationally characterized using single gas (CO2) permeation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to study the arrangement of polymer chains of mixed matrix membrane. The membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to study cross-sectional morphology. The single gas permeability were carried...

this study focuses on the preparation and modification of a thin-film composite (tfc) hollow fiber polyamide membrane fabricated by the interfacial polymerization of piperazine (pip) and trimesoyl chloride (tmc) on a porous polysulfone substrate. the effects of triethylenetetramine (teta) and silica nanoparticles (sio2) contents in the aqueous phase (as the additives) on the morphology and perf...
