$Y_2O_3$-SiC composite membrane was dip-coated using $Y_2O_3$ sol solution; this membrane was compared with a non- coated one. Each membrane was characterized by XRD, FE-SEM and BET techniques. Hydrogen and CO permeation were tested with self-manufactured Sievert's type equipment. $Y_2O_3$ coating was enhanced for the selectivity of the membrane ($H_2$ versus CO). The hydrogen permeation was measured at 1 bar with increasing temperatures. In case of the coated membrane, hydrogen permeation was found to be $1.24{\times}10^{-7}mol/m^2sPa$ with perm-selectivity of 4.26 at 323 K.

Hydrogen permeation through dense palladium-based membranes has attracted the attention of many scientists largely due to their unmatched potential as hydrogen-selective membranes for membrane reactor applications. Although it is well known that the permeation mechanism of hydrogen through Pd involves various processes such as dissociative adsorption, transitions to and from the bulk Pd, diffusion within Pd, and recombinative desorption, it is still unclear which process mainly limits hydrogen permeation at a given temperature and hydrogen partial pressure. In this study, we report an all-electron density-functional theory study of hydrogen permeation through Pd membrane (using VASP code). Especially, we focus on the variation of the energy barrier of the penetration process from the surface to the bulk with hydrogen coverage, which means the large reduction of the fracture stress in the brittle crack propagation considering Griffith's criterion. It is also found that the penetration energy barrier from the surface to the bulk largely decreases so that it almost vanishes at the coverage 1.25, which means that the penetration process cannot be the rate determining process.

The separation of hydrogen depends on porosity, diffusivity and solubility in permeation membrane. Dense membrane is always showing a solution diffusion mechanism but porous membrane is not showing. Therefore, porous membrane has a good hydrogen flux due to pore is carried out transferred media. This mechanism is named as the Knudsen diffusion. Hydrogen molecules or hydrogen atoms are diffused along pore that is a mean free path. In this study, complex layer hydrogen permeation membrane was fabricated by hot press process. And then, it was evaluated and calculated to relationship between hydrogen permeability and membrane porosity.

With the steady depletion off fossil fuel reserves, hydrogen based energy sources become increasingly attractive. Therefore hydrogen production or separation technologies, such as Bas separation membrane based on adsorption technology, have received enormous attention in the industrial and academic fields. In this study, the transport mechanisms of the MTES (methyltriethoxysilane) templating silica/a-alumina composite membrane were evaluated by using unary, binary and quaternary hydrogen gas mixtures permeation experiments at unsteady- and steady-states. Since the permeation flux in the MTES membrane, through the experimental and theoretical study, was affected by molecular sieving effects as well as surface diffusion properties, the kinetic and equilibrium separation should be considered simultaneously in the membrane according to molecular properties. In order to depict the transient multi-component permeation on the templating silica membrane, the GMS (generalized Maxwell-Stefan) and DGM (dust Bas model) were adapted to unsteady-state material balance

$H_2$ permeation flux though a $100{\mu}m-thick$ Pd-Ru (6wt%) membrane was measured at various temperatures and pressures. The permeation flux followed the Sievert's law and thus the rate-limiting step of the hydrogen permeation was the bulk atomic diffusion step. The activation energy of the permeation flux was obtained at 17.9 kJ/mol and this value is consistent with those published previously. While no degradation of the permeation flux wasfound in the membrane exposed to the $O_2$ and $CO_2$ environments for 100 hours, the membrane exposed to $N_2$ environment for 100 hours showed the degradation in the $H_2$ permeation flux. The $H_2$ permeation was decreased as the exposure temperature to $N_2$, environment was increased. The $H_2$ permeation flux was fully recovered after the membrane was kept in the $H_2$ environment for certain time. The permeation flux degradation might be caused by the formation of metal nitride on the membrane surface.

This study presented the effect of membrane thickness on hydrogen permeability. Microvoids on the surface of the membrane should not exist for the exact values of hydrogen permeability. Pd-Cu-Ni hydrogen alloy membranes were fabricated by Ni powder sintering, substrate plasma pretreatment, sputtering and Cu reflow process. And this leaded to void-free surface and dense film of Pd-Cu-Ni hydrogen alloy membrane. Hydrogen permeation test showed that hydrogen permeability increased from 2.7 to $15.2ml/cm^2{\cdot}min{\cdot}atm^{0.5}$ as membrane thickness decreased from 12 to $4{\mu}m$. This represented the similar trend as a hydrogen permeability of pure palladium membrane based on solution-diffusion mechanism.

Recently, the most promising methods for high purity hydrogen production are membranes separation such as polymer, metal, ceramic and composites. It is well known that Pd and Pd-alloys membranes have excellent properties for hydrogen separation. However, it has hydrogen embrittlement and high cost for practical applications. Therefore, most scientists have studied new materials instead of Pd and Pd-alloys. On the other hand, TiN powders are great in resistance to acids and chemically stable under high operating temperature. In order to get specimens for hydrogen permeation, the TiN powders synthesized were consolidated together with Co, Ni powders by hot press sintering (HPS). During the consolidation of powders at HPS, heating rate was 10 K/min and the pressure was 10 MPa. It was characterized by XRD, SEM. Also, we estimated the hydrogen permeability by Sievert's type hydrogen permeation membrane equipment.

A SiC-$CeO_2$ composite membrane was successfully fabricated using an ally-hydridopolycarbosilane (AHPCS) binder and treated by dip-coating at 60 times with a $CeO_2$ sol solution. The dip-coated SiC membrane was calcined at 773 K and then sintered at 1173 K under an air atmosphere. The coated membrane was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and a BET surface analysis. The difference in permeation performance between $H_2$ and CO gases was measured by varying the temperature. The permeation flux of $H_2$ on the SiC membrane with layered $CeO_2$ was obtained as $8.45{\times}10^{-6}\;mol/m^2sPa$ at room temperature. The CO permeation flux was $2.64{\times}10^{-6}\;mol/m^2sPa$ at room temperature. The reaction enthalpy (${\Delta}H^{\circ}$) for the hydrogen permeation process was calculated as -7.82 J/mol by Arrhenius plots.

보론이 도프된 바나듐 합금 분리막은 아직까지 연구된 적이 없다. 본 연구에서는 팔라듐이 코팅된 새로운 $V_{99.8}B_{0.2}$ 조성의 합금 분리막을 합성하여 수소 투과 특성 및 화학적 안정성에 대하여 연구를 수행하였다. 순수 수소, 수소와 이산화탄소의 혼합가스를 $400^{\circ}C$, 절대압력 1.0~3.0 bar에서 공급하여 수소 투과 특성을 알아보았다. 순수 수소를 공급하여 측정한 결과 0.5 mm 두께의 분리막은 최대 $48.5mL/min/cm^2$의 투과량을 보였다. 본 연구 결과는 수성가스 전이반응(WGS)에서 생성된 수소를 분리할 수 있는 비 팔라듐계 수소 분리막의 합성에 새로운 방향을 제시하고 있다.
