Palladium-based membranes chemical processes

Membrane-based separation processes to capture either H2 or CO2 from the gasifier are new and less studied methods of CO2 separation and capture. Membranes separate the desired gas component without requiring phase changes or chemical or physical sorption. The cost of membrane separation is generally dictated by the overall pressure drop. Membranes made of various types of materials such as polymers, metals, and rubber composites have been investigated. Palladium and molecular sieves are currently under study. ° ...
