Dense metal membrane configuration

To conclude this section, it is necessary to state that Pd and Pd-based membranes are currently the membranes with the highest hydrogen permeability and selectivity. However, the cost, availability, their mechanical and thermal stabilities, poisoning, and carbon deposition problems have made the large-scale industrial application of these dense metal membranes difficult, even when prepared in a composite configuration [26,29,33-37],...

Based on the different compositions, structures and configurations, the dense metallic membranes can be prepared using various methods. As described earlier, the dense metallic hydrogen separation membrane can be... 

The extraction of metals based on a membrane contactor system with conventional solvents is a process widely studied using different configurations, extractants, and extraction solvents. One of the upcoming applications of membrane contactors is supercritical extraction. This process is called porocritical extraction. Porocritical process or porocritical extraction is a commercial supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) technique that utilizes an hollow fiber membrane contactor (HFMC) to contact two phases for the purpose of separation. As an improvement, the extraction of Cu + from aqueous solutions by means of dense gas extraction was achieved by using a hollow fiber membrane contactor device [7]. The authors...
