Cleaning stability, ceramic membranes

In Chapter 10, the use of membranes for different applications are described. One of the possible membranes for hydrogen cleaning is an asymmetric membrane comprised of the dense end of a proton conduction perovskite such as BaCe0 95 Yb0 05O3 5 and a porous end to bring mechanical stability to the membrane. In this case, it is possible to take from the slurry, obtained by the acetate procedure, several drops to be released over a porous ceramic membrane, located in the spinning bar of a spin-coating machine. Thereafter, the assembly powder, thin film porous membrane is heated from room temperature up to 1573 K at a rate of 2K/min, kept at this temperature for 12 h, and then cooled at the same rate in order to get the perovskite end film over the porous membrane [50],... 

Inorganic membranes can also be modified according to their future applications. Ceramic membranes present many advantages, such as mechanical and chemical resistances, thermal stability, nonswelling properties, and easy cleaning, and are very...
