This paper reports on an experimental evaluation of the hydrogen separation performance in a proton exchange membrane system with Pt-Co/C as the anode electrocatalyst. The recovery of hydrogen from H2/CO2, H2/CH4, and H2/NH3 gas mixtures were determined in the temperature range of 100–160 °C. The effects of both the impurity concentration and cell temperature on the separation performance of the cell and membrane were further examined. The electrochemical properties and performance of the cell were determined by means of polarization curves, limiting current density, open-circuit voltage, hydrogen permeability, hydrogen selectivity, hydrogen purity, and cell efficiencies (current, voltage, and power efficiencies) as performance parameters. High purity hydrogen (>99.9%) was obtained from a low purity feed (20% H2) after hydrogen was separated from H2/CH4 mixtures. Hydrogen purities of 98–99.5% and 96–99.5% were achieved for 10% and 50% CO2 in the feed, respectively. Moreover, the use of proton exchange membranes for electrochemical hydrogen separation was unsuccessful in separating hydrogen-rich streams containing NH3; the membrane underwent irreversible damage.

A series of accelerated degradation experiments at high temperatures have been performed for Pd-coated V-10 mol% Fe alloy membranes in order to investigate the degradation behavior of hydrogen permeability. The degradation of the membrane becomes severer with increasing testing temperature. The temperature dependence of the 20% degradation rate almost obeys the Arrhenius relationship, suggesting that the degradation phenomenon occurs by a kind of thermal activation process. It is found that the addition of a small amount of W into Pd overlayer improves the durability of the membrane significantly.

Abstract Palladium membranes are considered ideal for high purity hydrogen separation owing to their infinite selectivity to hydrogen. The key to such selectivity depends on the dense surface of the membrane that suggests absolute non-porous surface morphology. However, preparation of dense palladium membranes irrespective of any deposition technique leads to pit formation which makes synthesis of dense palladium membrane challenging. The current study illustrates the application of electroless plating assisted with novel catalytic sol pre-coating to prepare dense Pd membranes. The surface characterization using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were performed to identify the gaps between dip coating and electroless plating. It was observed that with the use of a dip coated catalytic sol, thinner and well dispersed Pd deposits could be prepared. The porosity of deposited Pd layers does not affect the essential densification property as sol surface underneath dispersed Pd remains dense.

With the expansion of application fields of the high purity hydrogen (hydrogen content>99.9999%), its preparation methods, in particular recovery from multi-component mixture,have attracted wide attentions. This paper describes the principle of hydrogen separation and purification process based on metal hydride, and some key issues involved in it, such as the alternatives of raw gas, the processing of hydride materials, the design of metal hydride reactor are discussed according to the literature reports. Finally, the current problems encountered in hydride based gas separation are presented, and future trends are also predicted.
