Integration of Palladium-based Membranes in Hydrogen Production

Integration of Palladium-based Membranes in Hydrogen Production 

A number of studies have verified the beneficial potential of Pd-based membrane reactors for hydrogen production by investigating critical parameters such as pressure, temperature, catalyst, gas composition and reactor design on the overall performance, as will be discussed below. As the thermodynamics, kinetics and by-product formation vary with the type of fuel/feedstock applied, both the Pd-based membrane and operating conditions need to be tailored in order to guarantee a cost-effective process and sufficient membrane stability.
