Ceramic membranes for hydrogen separation

General Information

The main idea of the CERHYSEP project is to develp inorganic membranes that will enable broad application of hydrogen separation technology in the chemical industry. Energy reductions, increased hydrogen recovery, reduced volumes of toxic (e.g. H2S containing) waste streams, reduced incineration capacities, and less emission to the environment are the main benefits of this membrane technology. High quality, highly stable inorganic membranes must be developed for the different temperature regions defined for this project (up to >800C). The main objectives of CERHYSEP are therefore: 1) To improve existing and developing new membranes with enhanced stability and performance; 2) to develop methods to apply the membranes on different types of commercially available substrates, such as tubes and multi-channel elements; 3) to develop membrane modules for use in the specific operation windows.
