Shiga and Kurauchi have predicted that the swelling deformation of a gel in an electric field is caused by an increase in Flory s osmotic pressure. In order to prove this mechanism, the change in the osmotic pressure under an electric field has been calculated using a simple model for ion transport. The gel and the surrounding solution have been divided into four phases, the A phase (solution at the anode), B phase (gel at the anode), C phase (gel at the cathode), and D phase (solution at the cathode). A mobile cation in a dc field moves toward the... 

Because mobile anions cannot exist in the gel before application of a dc electric field, we may discuss only the movement of mobile anions in a solution. The first term on the right side of Eqs. 7-9 displays anions which come in from the D phase. In Eq. 7, the first and second terms on the right contain the dissipation of anions at the anode.

When an electric field is applied, Na+ drifts toward the cathode. Therefore the concentration of Na+ in the A phase decreases with time. The concentration of Na+ in the B phase also decreases with time (Fig. 2, right). In order to maintain electrical neutrality in the B phase, H+ is provided from COOH groups. On the other hand, the concentration of Na+ in the C phase remains constant under an electric field. The concentration of Na+ in the D phase increases with time. OH- should be provided to maintain electrical neutrality in each phase. As shown in Fig. 2, we should focus mainly on the concentrations of Na+ and H +. The osmotic pressures at the anode and cathode sides at a time t are given by Eqs. 14 and 15. 

There are two explanations for the small shrinkage in hydrochloric acid. One is that the deformation may be caused by the electrostatic forces between the anode and the negatively charged polyions in the gel. The other relates to the screening effect of COO H + by CP which comes in from the D phase. As a large number of CP ions restrain interactions between COO H+, the gel will shrink.

Several large cryogenic experiments have been realized in recent years. Many are under construction, a few very close to the realization, others in the R D phase. 

Below, we first briefly describe conventional hydrogen production. Then the combination of hydrogen production and CCS is described. Finally, we elaborate on two of the technologies for more efficient hydrogen production with C02 capture that are currently in the R D phase hydrogen membrane reactors and C02 sorption enhanced reactors. 

For combined hydrogen production and C02 capture several novel technologies are in development, most of them for the application in a pre-combustion C02 capture combined cycle. The main focus is to reduce the efficiency penalties and other associated costs of CO2 capture. The most important technologies in the R D phase, membrane reactors and sorption-enhanced reactors, are described below, with special attention paid to the catalytic aspects.
