Abstract Ion transport membrane (ITM) is considered to be one of the promising techniques for the separation of oxygen from the air for clean energy applications. Studying flow configurations of gases around Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3−δ (BSCF) membrane is presented and discussed in this paper. The effects of the sweep mass flow rate and impingement configurations for the gases flow in the feed and permeation sides have been investigated. In this regard, flow with single or double impingement and impingement with different angles have been simulated and analyzed in order to identify the configurations that would provide the maximum permeation flux. Results show that increasing the sweep flow rate, directly, increases the oxygen permeation flux. It is also found that, in case of single impingement, decreasing the distance between the nozzle and the membrane (H), directly, increases the oxygen permeation flux for constant sweep side nozzle (slot) width (D). The permeation flux increases from around 2.9–3.66 µmole/cm2 s for the ratio H:D from1:1 to 1:4 (i.e., decreasing H to one-fourth of its value). Results show that the double impingement flow gives lower results than the single impingements by about 35.7%. The results also revealed that the optimum configuration is the parallel flow with vacuum in the sweeping side, which gives the highest permeation flux with an increase of more than 41% from that of the parallel configuration with a sweeping gas. Using carbon dioxide as a sweeping gas is better than helium.

The performance of Ni/SiO2 Catalysts modified by La2O3, ZrO2 and CeO2 were tested in a BaCo0.7Fe0.2Nb0.1O3-δ (BCFNO) membrane reactor by catalytic partial oxidation of coke oven gas (COG) under atmospheric pressure. The results show that the oxygen permeation flux increased dramatically with Ni/RxOy/SiO2 (R = La, Zr or Ce) catalysts by adding the element of rare earth especially the La during the reforming reaction. At optimized reaction conditions, the dense oxygen permeable membrane had an oxygen permeation flux around 16.4 ml/cm2•min and a CH4 conversion of 99.2% have been achieved at 900 oC.

The BaCo0.7Fe0.2Nb0.1O3-δ (BCFNO) membranes combined with Ce0.8Re0.2O2-δ (Re=La, Y) layer on the permeation side were used for hydrogen production by partial oxidation reforming of coke oven gas (COG). The Ce0.8Re0.2O2-δ improved the oxygen permeation flux of the membrane by 11–28% at 750 oC. The high oxygen permeation flux achieved using the Ce0.8Re0.2O2-δ surface-coating layer in this work are quite encouraging with a maximum value reaching 19.7 ml/cm2•min at 900 oC, which will be promising surface modification materials in the catalytic partial oxidation reforming of COG.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes preparation and methane reforming characteristics of a proto-type reformer based on a composite-type oxygen permeable membrane. The tape-cast membrane of Sm-doped CeO2 and 15 vol% MnFe2O4 composite was combined with ferric stainless steel separator with a same thermal expansion coefficient. For the reformer module, high CH4 conversion, CO and H2 selectivity of 96%, 84% and 89% were achieved, respectively. Based on C, H and O balances, oxygen permeation flux was found to be 5.7 mu-mol/cm2s. Joule heat caused by the oxygen permeation was estimated to be approximately 17.5 W, and this covered most part of heat required for reforming reactions.

BaCo0.7Fe0.2Nb0.1O3−δ(BCFN) dense ceramic membrane with submicron-Ce0.8Y0.2O2−δ(YDC) porous layer was investigated by the partial oxidation of coke oven gas (COG) in hydrogen production. XRD analysis showed this composite had good stability and no chemical reaction at high temperature. SEM and TEM characterization further showed BCFN membrane was uniformly modified by YDC porous layer (about 5~6 μm thickness) formed by the accumulation of relative nanoparticles. At the respective COG flux and air flux of 108 mL/min and 173 mL/min, the oxygen permeation flux of BCFN modified by submicron-YDC porous layer reached 16.62 mL·min−1·cm−2, which was about 23.5% higher than that of pure BCFN membrane. Therefore, submicron-YDC porous layer obviously improved the oxygen permeation flux of BCFN membrane and its stability at 875°C.
