Shaping of 3YSZ porous substrates for oxygen separation membranes

Fabrication of SrCoo . SFeO , Oxygen Separation Membranes on Porous Supports

SrCoO.~FeO, (SCF) is an attractive material for oxygen separation membranes and for use in catalytic membrane reactors. While tubes of this material have been prepared by extrusion, further improvements in oxygen transport performance may be gained by preparing thinner membranes on porous supports. In this paper, we will discuss the deposition of thick films by spray deposition and centrifugal ...

Supported Dense Ceramic Membranes for Oxygen Separation

Ceramic membranes for separation of proteins and DNA through in situ growth of alumina nanofibres inside porous substrates.

Ceramic membranes were fabricated by in situ synthesis of alumina nanofibres in the pores of an alumina support as a separation layer, and exhibited a high permeation selectivity for bovine serum albumin relative to bovine hemoglobin (over 60 times) and can effectively retain DNA molecules at high fluxes.

Development of Palladium-Alloy Membranes for Hydrogen Separation and Purification

This paper summarizes R&D activities and progress at NORAM Engineering and the University of British Columbia (UBC) on preparation and testing of thin palladium-based membranes and their applications. Most of these activities were carried out internally at NORAM, some jointly with UBC and their spin-off company, Membrane Reactor Technology (MRT) through a wide range of projects. Key results out...

Multichannel Mixed-Conducting Hollow Fiber Membranes for Oxygen Separation

A multichannel mixed-conducting hollow fiber (MMCHF) membrane, 0.5 wt % Nb2O5-doped SrCo0.8 Fe0.2O3-d (SCFNb), has been successfully prepared by phase inversion and sintering technique. The crystalline structure, morphology, sintering behavior, breaking load, and oxygen permeability of the MMCHF membrane were studied systematically. The MMCHF membrane with porous-dense asymmetrical microstructu...
